    When this problem happened to me, I had the version CC 2018 and 2019. The 2018 version worked normally but 2019 not.

    ^^ i have had the same issue as well and had to uninstall 2019 to even get 2018 to work.  I even used their utility to do a 100% clean adobe cleanse plus run as admin and nothing.  It just disappears when loading any plug-in.  It wasn't until i deleted every plugin i had it stopped on the QuickTime one and I saw the build a new user workaround in this thread.

    Its been way too long and even their latest update doesn't work.  Adobe you're a joke.  why not even a response.  you can search and see tons of complaints.  I think it's because there is a workaround they ignore it.

    my subscription will be terminated finally after Jan 1st.  They have too many issues and I spend more time telling people I'm having adobe issues than showing people my work.  I also find it very funny a program that relies so much on the video card in which it can't even properly catch exceptions and simply crashes or freezes or blows-up forcing us to install the much buggy NVIDIA drivers on day zero doesn't even really use the video card nor can it even scale properly like their competitors.  so said Adobe has become a joke.  Let's see how long it takes them to even get back to me.  Been with them for 8 years.  not anymore.

      This is unbelievably frustrating... I'm having the same issue with CC2019..... It was working perfect in my 3 minute client project, then it crashed during an export, when I tried to start it up again, it stalls on importerquicktime.prm then crashes.

      How has this thread existed on the adobe website for 20+ days without anyone from Adobe commenting?

      I'm so sick and tired of Premiere not working the way it should. I literally can't finish my client's project. Why am I paying for Premiere Pro again??

      I've deleted plugins, updated graphics driver, uninstalled quicktime, installed Nvidia Cuda 10, deleted temp files in users appdata, restarted the computer several dozen times.. HOW IS THIS A THING!!! My Premiere Pro worked fine yesterday, nothing has changed, but now it won't even start up. Stop releasing products that don't work. Stop releasing brand new versions, just do small simple 'updates' to existing versions.. Every new release ends up having flashy new features, but is unstable. Like I said, I can't complete my project for a paying customer with expensive professional software that I pay Adobe each month for.


      Clearly, I'm annoyed because earlier today I submitted a bug write up for other issues in Premiere Pro that I've been experiencing with CC2019, but now I can't even open it anymore. I can't roll back to an older version because the client project won't open any more.

      Get it together Adobe, this is ridiculous.

      I'm going to try creating a new user in Windows 10 and see what happens..

      UPDATE: Creating a new user account on Windows 10 worked, I created it and started Premiere CC2019 and it worked right away. So it's a user account issue with files that are getting installed in user accounts.

      This is beyond ridiculous....

        Hi Will,

        Very sorry for the frustration. Unfortunately, we cannot respond to every post here, and I apologize for that. We in community support try our best, but this is largely a user to user style forum. If you want a guaranteed response from Adobe support, with a corresponding case number, please contact us any time here: Contact Customer Care.

        I'm very, very sorry if you were not aware of this option.

        Creating a new user account on Windows 10 worked, I created it and started Premiere CC2019 and it worked right away. So it's a user account issue with files that are getting installed in user accounts. This is beyond ridiculous....

        Thank you so much for sharing your workaround. In any case, when you have to solve this issue by creating a new account, that's quite annoying. These issues are kind of rare, but recently I've seen it related to installations of AVG antivirus. Is it installed? If so, my advice is to uninstall it, as it is known to cause problems with importerquicktime.prm.

        If you do not have this antivirus software, check the antivirus software you do have installed for potential issues.

        If this still does not solve your problem, another user had success using this method:

        Re: Freezes at "Loading ImporterQuickTime.prm" and displays error message. How do I fix it?

        Finally, contact support if you need additional assistance and get a case number filed with our video queue.

        Breaking news, Will! One of our intrepid QE engineers has discovered a potential fix today on this after reviewing a crash log.

        "The crash report calls out a reference to ParseJSONtags file. The customer simply needs to delete this file."

        Please try this, then report back. It would be wonderful to solve this issue for you and others.

        Thanks,
        Kevin

        Kevin? What file are you talking about, where is it located? RRKing commented on this, have you looked into what he said?


        Also, I tried running this in Administrator command prompt on my main user account (As suggested in the link you provided in a previous reply):

        net user administrator /active:no

        It did not work. Premiere still crashes on startup.

        For the last few days, I have been editing on my second user account and have been able to get some work done, but it's not perfect. It still freezes up and crashes randomly, but allows me to start back up, so different from the importerquicktime issue. Now I've started to get these messages, which adds some fun to the whole Premiere Pro usage:

        When these happen, I cannot play the sequence. My keyboard functions in Premiere stop working as well, which is weird, so pressing spacebar, tries to switch Windows from an American to Canadian keyboard, or pressing Ctrl+m launches windows settings instead of Premiere export settings. Then Premiere crashes shortly after it freezes for 20 seconds.

        This is what it does before crashing:

        Fun stuff!

        Can confirm that I have the exact same issue. Premiere Pro CC 2019 on Windows 10 was working fine. PC crashed and now CC 2019 stalls on loading "importerquicktime.prm". Done all above that virus191​ has done with no effect.  Also installed CC 2018 which works, but unable to open any CC 2019 projects. Other CC products load fine, this is just Premiere CC 2019. Even uninstalled graphics drivers going down other rabbit holes with no effects.

        Can also confirm (much to my relief to actually get commercial work done!) that creating a new Windows 10 user and logging in works just fine. Existing CC 2019 project loads and works just fine. This is an issue with the user account and the local installation/temp files for CC 2019, somehow?!?
