Premiere Pro Wont Launch

[bigicedog]

i just got Premiere Pro and i cant get it to launch. it keeps getting stuck on trying to load the maschine2 vst. i tried turning of and on the computer, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere, i tried renaming the VST itself, i tried renaming the VST folder, i even tried removing the whole VST folder altogether and NOTHING works. no matter what i do when i try to launch this program it will start loading and as soon it gets to "loading Maschine2vst" it hangs or stops working alltogether. i dont know what else to do. im on Mac 10.14.1

Have you tried holding Alt/Option and Shift while launching? This resets prefs and plug-in loading cache.

i held those buttons till my hand cramped up. still not launching

Are you able to remove that 3rd party audio effect? Or maybe reinstall it?

Might be worth checking with that company to see if there is an updated version or known issue?

[bigicedog]

like i said i did E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G that has been suggested. i renamed the VST, that didnt work. i removed the VST,THAT didnt work. i removed the WHOLE VST FOLDER,THAT DIDNT WORK!! i uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere THAT didnt work, i turned the computer off and then back on THAT didnt work. so if ya'll got anything else in your bag of tricks please let me know,cause im at my wits end.......

[bigicedog]

im pretty sure that once it launches i can change what i need to in the settings. its just getting this thing to launch for the first time.....

Hrmmm... a few ideas..

Are you hanging even with a new blank project?

If not, can you launch with a blank project and import the project?

Are you able to open the problematic project file on a second machine?

[bigicedog]

its not opening AT ALL. no projects no nothing. all i have is the purple Premiere logo and near the bottom it will say whats loading and it will say "loading Maschine2 vst" and thats it it will stay there until it closes itself down or i force quit it

Looks like there is a plugin that needs to be tracked down.

Most of the Macintosh OS Adobe Premiere Pro plug-ins are in

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-Ins/

Other plugins could be located:

Macintosh HD/Users/[User]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-Ins

Is there also an application related to the third party effect? Sometimes the 3rd party application contents can contain plugins.

Also - if this doesn't help, have you considered pinging Adobe support? They can walk you through this or log into your machine.

I downloaded a program call easy find. Locate the file, open in finder then change the name of file temporarily. Example..."what.vst" change to "what.v" then try opening the program.
