Hi Adobe Experts

can't start Adobe after effects on my new macbook pro M4 - always get the same error - see my attached warning and shutdown-message by starting the tool. - thanx for some helping adivces how to start -

 

i did already the safe start - don't work also i've deleted every not compatable plugins. -

deleted also every older versions - no chance - thanx for help. 

 

adobe tutorials and online help desks dont show helpful answers and guidance. -

 

This is the error message:

 

 Zuletzt protokollierte Meldung: Transmit plugin „DeckLinkTransmit“ ist während des Aufrufs von „tmResult ML::TransmitEntry::Startup(const dvacore::UTF16String &, const tmModule *, tmStdParms *, tmPluginInfo *)“ abgestürzt..

Hey Folks

 

Solution for the problem is found.

Now both tools are able to launch: Premiere Pro 2025 and After Effects 2025 on Macbook Pro M4

 

This is the path to bugfix.

delete the content in the "plug-ins" folder - following this path:

Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins -

then the content inside this folder "plug-ins" should be checked and deleted. 

 

good to know 😉 - see added screenshot.

The message you're seeing says that Blackmagic's Transmit plugin is crashing.

Hi Adobe Experts

I can't launch Premiere Pro 2025.
See attached screenshot.

Creative Cloud and all Adobe applications are up to date and are constantly updated.
The programs should run stably and crash-free on a latest-generation MacBook Pro M4 (2024).

I urgently need qualified troubleshooting and support.
