Premiere 12 Effect workspace blank

[jimtron]

With Premiere 12.0 I'm getting an issue where all workspaces are fine, except when I go to Effects workspace, it's totally blank (see screenshot). I've tried hitting "reset to saved layout" to no avail. This is happening with existing projects and new projects. I'm newish to Premiere, so not sure if user error or bug.

Hi JimTron,

That's very strange! What is your version of Mac OS? What kind of Mac is this? Do you have dual screens? Can we get more info?

Thanks,

Kevin

Did you use Reset To Saved Layout while in the blank window?

After issue arose, I tried reset to saved layout with blank window, and it didn't solve the problem.

Restarted computer, problem persisted, but tried once again to "reset to saved layout," and this time, after a bit of spinning beach ball, the effects workspace came back.

Thanks for the responses.

MacOs 10.13, Macbook Pro Retina 2015 (SSD, 16gb ram). Currently don't have a second display connected to MBP; haven't used one since before issue happened. I think this happened after upgrading to Premiere CC 12.0, but like I said it happens with projects created with earlier versions, but also new projects.

I checked Prefs: playback and don't see any devices checked.

I am having the same issue, effect will suddenly give me a black screen. I have restarted but it hasn't fixed the problem. I can still open my project and it is all there but I cant apply effects.

Alexandre: what worked for me is restarting and then hitting "reset to saved layout." This issue came up again with a different workspace, but that fix seems to be working for me.

Thank you for this. Reset to save layout does work however it does come back from time to time. I might have to wait for the next premier update to get the bug fixed.
