yes just found the solution 😉

i search on older issues and found this one

Go to the following location and remove all the files and folders (except dummy.txt): HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins/7.0/MediaCore

for me it was an AE juice plugin 

works now perfect 

hope this is also for you a solution
