This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"

[Joe Bodego]

Since i updated to premier pro when i launch the program i get this error dialog box (This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"). Strange thing is if i ignore the error, i can use premier pro but if i click "OK" premier pro quits. This is annoying, i need your help.

Skybox then? Mac or PC?
Edit: NM. I see it. PC.

Thanks,

Any solution yet? I actually got this problem after installing Mettle skybox studio. Uninstalled it but no help. And Windows reset install gets stuck on 15%

Makes me wish I never got that beefier PC on the side on my iMac. Should had gotten a Mac pro...

Hello,

Got the bug on Premiere Pro CC / Win 7: uninstalling Mettle plug-ins worked for me too.

Thanks a loooooot Joe Bodego!

Same error.
Working on a project on Premiere pro.After a BSOD on windows 10, same error as the screen capture, cannot open my project again.

I try to start a new project and import my project. Import Ok, but when i open a timeline, crash again.

Crash each time  i import a video file

I have : uninstall/install premiere pro ... same crash

For anyone still having this problem but still wants to keep the mettle plugin set, Premiere pro can not load them thus causing the error however, moving the plugin folder from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore" to after effects own plugin folder at "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\Plug-ins" will cause only after effects to use the plugin and premiere pro working like a charm. Once done you may want to reset premiere's plugin cache by holding they shift key and launching premiere.

Looks like this person experienced the issue, as well: v on Twitter: "@AdobeCare cc 2017"

Try skybox, it works fine with after effects but premier could be affected. I have since had no issues with premier.
