Can't Remove Plugin, Ruining Premiere
This morning I installed Sony’s Catalyst Prepare plugin for Premiere, and it's causing me huge issues on my MacBook M3 Max Sonoma 14.3.1. I didn’t realize that the plugin is for Premiere 22.4 - 23.2, and I’m running 24.1, so that's on me. I'm thinking that could be the issue.
Premiere crashes after a few minutes, it regenerates Peak files all the time, and Slog3 footage is appearing as Rec709 automatically with no way to change color space options. I can see the Catalyst Prepare plugin in Premiere's effects controls window, but I can’t delete it. When I see the Premiere loading screen and the Plugin Cache is loading, I can see the Catalyst plugins as the last things that load.
The Catalyst Prepare page says to delete the files in:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore /catalyst_prepare_plugin/
But when I go to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/, I don’t see a folder called Plug-ins.
When I launch Premiere while holding option and disable third party plugins, I don't experience any of the problems, so I'm pretty confident it's Catalyst Prepare causing them.
I even tried searching directly for the .plugin and .bundle files it says to delete, but no luck. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere with no results.
Any advice is much appreciated!
