Premiere Pro (Beta) does not start, Splash Screen shows and disappears

[andi_urra]

The app does not start. The splash screen shows up, disappears and then the app is gone.

Only when starting with opt+shift and then disabling third party plugins, the app will start.

I have the Red Giant Suite, Universe as well as some Re:VisionFX plugins installed.

The regular Premiere Pro (non beta) starts without problems.

Apple M1 Ultra

MacOS 15.6 (24G84) Sequoia

Premiere Pro (Beta) Version 25.6.0 BETA (Build 17)

I used build 17 all day yesterday and all was well. But on a PC.

When you disable those 3rd party apps it works. What's your conclusion?

@andi_urra  That sounds like it's a crash in one of your third-party plugins. Make sure they're all up to date, and if you still crash on launching Premiere Pro, you can go to the following folder and you will see the plugins. Try moving them one at a time to the desktop, and launching Premiere Pro in between, to see which one is the culprit.

Plugin location: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore

Note: that /Library folder is at the root of your hard drive, it's not the user-specific /Library folder.

Hi Matt, thank you very much for your help and tipps. Your method worked great: I have Redgiant, Magic Bullet, Trapcode, Re:Vision and some AEScripts plugins, which I checked one by one. In the end it was Trapcode Tao ("Tao.plugin") which prevented the app start. When I leave that out I can run Premiere Pro Beta again. Thanks!

@andi_urra I'm glad you were able to find it! If you can, take a minute to send a note over to Maxon/Red Giant support to let them know; it's something they'll need to fix on their end. Thanks!

Hi @andi_urra - I saw Red Giant posted an update today.  Would you be able to download it and let us know if you are still having issues?

[andi_urra]

Hi Jamie, thank you very much for letting me know. Unfortunately, since my Maxon subscription did end this month I am no longer able to test this. Kind regards, Andreas
