I'm having this issue in CC 2018, Mac OS 10.11.6. Created template in After Effects CC 2018, but in PP when I try to open Essential Graphics panel application crashes.

Not a permanent fix, but a quick work around is too disable GPU acceleration and to use software only, this tends to limit the amount of crashes you get when using essential graphics. If you're on a windows machine try installing legacy drivers for your GPU, if you're on Mac, avoid using metal acceleration, Open CL is slower but more stable, software only is even slower but even more stable.

on a Mac. Nope, none of that helped but thanks anyway. Tried a new project as well as an updated one, crashes every time essential graphics panel tries to open. Was on chat support earlier and I was able to open once but the next time I tried it crashed and crashes ever since. Will try support again tomorrow.

Have you tried opening the same project on a different machine and replicate the error? If not, it could be a render/cache issue. Try deleting all your renders, and clear project cache, and see if that helps. Also avoid using overly intricate titles/shapes, its better to work on those in After Effects / Illustrator and bringing them as high res PNGs (importing PSDs is still glitchy so stick to PNGs, GIFs and JPEGs, hopefully this will reduce the amount of headaches this is probably giving you.

Thanks again but for anyone else reading this thread none of this helps. PP crashes as soon as I open Essential Graphics panel so no options to dumb it down. Not being able to link templates from AE is a non starter issue. Media cache has been cleared, no renders involved.

Hi Marcial,

Try the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Open Premiere Pro.

2. Create a new project.

3. Go to Windows menu in Premiere Pro>Workspace and deselect "Import workspace from Projects" option.

4. Then in the same menu select reset workspace to saved layout (The workspace you use).

5. Close Premiere open your old project and check.

After literally days working on this with multiple tech support agents, problem solved. It was a corruption in typekit fonts/syncing issue. Deleting fonts and re-linking fixes.

I'm having this same issue. How did you go about deleting your fonts? And then how did you get them back?

I finally just upgraded to the latest version of Premiere Pro which solved the problem. However many clips don't relink when upgrading to Premiere Pro 12.1 which I had previously done but then went back to 12.0 because of the relinking issue. So now the essential graphics doesn't crash but I have to deal with the other issues. Thanks Premiere Pro for never thinking about the fact that some projects are never completely done with.

I'm having the same problem. How did you delete fonts and relinked?

So I had the same problem which started yesterday and I decided to delete everything I had done in the last 2 days until I found the problem and apparently it was a .mogrt file that I had imported that was the cause.

It was the BOXD 4K lower thirds and I think it might be due to something with the files but it fixed my problem and now Premiere Pro is working like a charm again.

Maybe you should try and go through any recent imports and changes and you might find that the problem is actually something really simple.

Hope this helps

Hey Sammy,

I think I'm experiencing the same exact problem you had. I downloaded a lower third and now every time I open up the 'Essential Graphics' tab, my Premiere crashes.

How did you delete the file? I'm having trouble locating them.

I have exactly the same problem, please adobe give us some answer

With a clue of Typekit is corrupted, here is how I fix the bug :

1. Create a new project, reset workspace to default ( choose one from Editing/Assembly that does not have Essential Graphics panel in it ).
2. Click the Type Tool and write something in.
3. You can now open Essential Graphics panel without worry about crashing to desktop again.

Hope this helps.

I figured out a solution [for me]. My issue started after I installed a new graphic template. If this is the cause you have to open your preferences >> Media Cache >> & under Media Cache Database click "Browse" and it will show premiere folder with your loaded templates, I simply deleted the last/corrupt file & premiere stopped crashing. If this doesn't work I advise you back-track & find the cause of your crash. Good Luck!

Hi

Thanks for info. After I press 'Browse' it took me to the rood directory of C, D.

Can you guide where are the "premiere folder with your loaded templates" located ?

Report · Oct 19, 2020

There's no need to press the Browse button. The folder location is shown under the Media Cache Database title. You have reach that address mannualy or just use the Go to Folder command in Finder Go menu.

Hello,

My suggestion: Please create a new user account on your windows based desktop/laptop and also, make sure to update Adobe Premiere in the new profile. And then open it and use essential graphics in the new account and export your files. Then use a jumpdrive to take the exported files into the old account and into premiere.

*This worked for me as my own workaround. Good luck!

Hello, my editing team found the solution for Mac users. FYI, I used Macbook Pro 2018 and my coworker used Macbook Pro mid 2012. First, go to finder - Go - Go To.

Go to: /users/____/library/

Fill the blank with your Mac account name. After you find your library (it might be a hidden folder in newer Mac), go to Application Support - Adobe - Common, and delete all the files inside that folder.

Now my Premiere Pro works FINE.. FINALLY after some desperate hours. With this solution, you don't need to install-reinstall Premiere or even update it. However, you cannot import the graphic that you wanted earlier. That's the one causing bad sector.
