Premiere Pro 22.3 Error Directory object cannot construct with this path.

[MWongSound]

Fresh install of Premiere Pro 22.3 today and when I lauch the Premiere Pro it comes up with the error "Directory object cannot construct with this path."  

Im on Big Sur 11.6.5, File & Folder permissions all checked, tried with full disk access as well with the same errror on launch.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same error.

No idea what directory its trying to create.

[Kobe Mireku]

Yes i've had the same error, and have tried installing and reinstalling. This error message keeps coming up. 

It hasn't affected my other Adobe apps, just premiere pro. Not sure what the problem is.

Assistance would really be appreciated

I continue to have this same problem.

[MWongSound]

This weekend I did a fresh install of Mac Ventura on a partition and Installed Premiere and hit the same problem, I first changed the permissions in Library/application support/Adobe to all "Read & Write" but it didn't fix it, then I changed the permissions on the "Adobe" folder in Documents to add "Staff" Read & Write and "everyone" to Read and Write and selected "apply to enclosed items" and that did the trick.

Its still definitely an installed folder permissions issue on the developer side.

I had worked with Adobe for over two hours trying to fix this problem and it didn't work. Then we created another admin on my computer and it was not a problem! So basically I needed to move everything over to a new account because even Apple couldn't help me get it sorted.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Sorry about that, Russell. Sorry, Mark. Russell, are you also on Big Sur? Let me know. I noted this one to the team.

Thanks,
Kevin

[Kobe Mireku]

Thanks Kevin, 
I'm running macOS monterey 12.3.1. The most recent update 

[MWongSound]

If its at all helpful, the splash screen does load and the plug-ins load and it stops at iZ Adobe Loudness Bundle.

[IRONANDSTONE]

I have the same problem!

OS Monterey 12.3.1

super annoying! I have to stop working, cause I can´t find any workaround for this 

[Jeff Bugbee]

Do you have any plugins from iZotope installed?

[IRONANDSTONE]

Yes, i have several Audio Plugins installed, some of them are from iZotope!

[Jeff Bugbee]

It appears those plugins are causing this hang up. Can you attempt to uninstall or at least reinstall the latest version of those iZotope plugins? 

[Ursula275069207glw]

Can you explain what iZotope is? I'm using a mac mini and this is a new world to me, but I'm having the same loading issues.

[rogerwilkinson333]

I have no iZotope plugins - actually, none at all - and cannot get past this message. I have Ventura 13.1 and a MacBook Air M2, 1TB, 16GB. Plenty of power. I've basically given up on Premiere Pro. 

[Jeff Bugbee]

Do you have any plugins from iZotope installed?

[MWongSound]

I do, I went ahead and temporarily deleted the entire audio plugin folder in library/application support and relaunched Premiere Pro and the same error occured.  I also deleted the iZ Adobe Loudness Bundle from the mediacore folder in library/application support/adobe/common/plug-ins/7.0/mediacore and same issue.

It would be useful to know what the next step Premiere Pro does after the initial plugin load in. Is there an error log to check?

I didn't have a previous install of Premiere Pro on this APFS volume, it feels like it has to create a directory for its initial setup but doesn't have the proper permissions. Unfortunately I dont know where it wants to attempt to create a directory to.   It sounds like it needs a folder permission fix.

[Jeff Bugbee]

Since you've removed those files, try to reset your plugin cache
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html

• To restore default preference settings and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option key when the splash screen appears.

Check the log files here

Not sure if this is useful but upon launching theres a data_87302.txt in the logs folder with this text in it.  Perhaps it has something to do with the ASL or dvacore.initializerstatemgr

Same problem here. Can we download version 22.2 to see if the same problem occurs ?

[Kobe Mireku]

No i don't have that plugin at all

[SophieGT]

I have this same issue, with Windows 10 and no plug-ins, I hope they can patch this in the next update 

[Chillvio]

I have the same issue and I am running Premiere on Big Sur 11.3.1 without plug-ins. I can't work since a few days, would be great to find a solution in the near future. Thanks!

[Jani24370265e2z4]

I have the same issue on Win10 as well. Fresh CC Cloud install, and this problem came up with first time launching Premiere. Quick solution would be highly appreciated. 

I tried to downgrade, but then the issue is that on loading screen, Premiere gaets stuck on "Loading ImporterQuickTime.prm"

[Jeff Bugbee]

Odd issue, can you take a look at this video and see if following his steps help?

Same problem for me. On Big Sur and pro tools and Izotobe plugs.
