Premiere Pro not opening on Mac

[lucy_8224]

I've been trying to open Premiere Pro 25.5 on my 2023 MacBook Pro. Every time I open it, it freezes on the splash screen and stops responding and I have to force quit. I have updated it, reinstalled it, restarted my computer, updated my software, and nothings working. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for your message and welcome to the forum. It might be a plug-in tripping up the launch. Can you try pressing Shift at launch to get the Reset Options dialog box. From there you can select "Disable third-party plug-ins (one time only)." Let me know if that works. Sorry for the frustration.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi, thank you! I tried it and I didn't get any sort of options popup, but it did open finally, so I guess it worked in some way.
