Premiere Pro unable to load third party audio plugin

Dear Community,

 

I have Premiere Pro CC 2019. I can't get Premiere Pro to open as it always ends up showing the error message: 'Premiere Pro is unable to load third party audio plugin...'. I have checked that the related folders in Library have 'read and write' priviledge. What else can I do to fix this problem please? Do I need to download audio plugin? or do these plugins come with the programme itself? 

 

Thank you so much,

Amy

Hi Amy,

 

We're sorry to hear about this. Please attach a screenshot of the error message that you are getting? Also, have you tried scanning the plugins from the Audio Plug-In Manager (Preferences > Audio > Audio Plug-In Manager)? Let us know, we're here to help.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Hi

I have the same problem. Premiere Pro doesn't be open and a dialogue box says:

Unable to load third-party audio  plug-ins. Premiere Pro is unable to access your Preferences folder. Your user account may not have access rights, or the folder may have been set to Read only. Please check your permissions and try again.

Same here - same error message. Plugins exist, so there's some weird permissions issue happening.

What's the fix?


Fixed. On a mac - uninstalled / reinstalled, propagated permissions in apps and home dir. Took forever to scan 400 plugins (lol - don't judge me!) but no error message. Checked under preferences, and all plugins now enabled...

It doesn't specify, just says third party audio plugin...

Do you have any plug-ins in these directories?

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/

~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/
