Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen  "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"

This happened before when I had CS6. I'm now using CC and haven't had problems until now. I again get the hang up while loading. Previously I trashed the loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle file and this solved the problem.

I tried to contact support. I thought my subscription to CC included support, apparently not.

Anyone else have this Problem?

    Correct answer bvawter

    I just gave this one more shot and it worked!

    1. Go to Applications

    2. Go to Adobe Premiere CS6

    3. Right click on the application and click on “Show Package Contents”

    4. Go to Contents –> Plug-ins –> Common

    5. Move the following files to the desktop: ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle

    6. Restart Adobe Premiere CS6 and it will successfully open up

    Thanks again, now back to work.

    If anyone's still having issues with this, the steps below worked for me (not that all necessarily need to be taken)

    I tried launching PP, splash screen appears and whole process quits on QuickTime bundle mentioned above (or CoreAudio bundle on other attempts)

    I re-downloaded QuickTime just to be sure (7.6.6)

    I uninstalled Flip4Mac

    I tried launching Media Encoder but that in itself would not launch either, here however I got error on writing permissions to /User/<user name>/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/11.0/Presets (? I think). I checked permissions on the entire Adobe folder inside Documents and my user was not listed. Added that / read, write / apply to contents

    Media Encoder launched fine after that and PP was now also fixed (ME does not have to be launched prior to PP)

    OSX 10.11.1

    Premiere Pro CC 2017

    Hope this helps...

    This work for me

    Open media encoder and make sure it runs. If it does try running premier pro.If neither work install or reinstall quick time player.

    Issues with CC starting up? Stuck on ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle? use this blog!

    Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)

    Also try opening Activity Monitor and quitting "Adobe QT32 Server"

    It worked for me, BUT now I cannot view or import QuickTime movies in Premiere. Has anyone found an actual fix for this? Removing the ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle & ImporterQuickTime.bundle will allow me to open the software but that does me no good if I can't access the QuickTime files in my project.

    Curious what systems and capture devices everyone is using here. Could there be a relationship?

    I'm on a PC, most of you seem to be on Mac. My capture device is the GH4. Most of these so-called solutions are solutions for those of us that have .mov files to import and edit. I don't see anyone talking about issues with the thumbnails in their bins, scrubbing etc. My issue goes a step or two further by causing some thumbnails not to display properly, instead greyed out or yellow "media pending" or sometimes green. It suggests PrPro is still conforming .pek .cfa files but that is not the case. Another quirk is that some videos scrub and play but the audio always starts with a loud, shrill sound then mutes for the rest of the playback. This is the case even if I transcode to something else using AME.

    This is driving me nuts. Sure, all that you need to do is terminate the Adobe QT 32 Server or remove the files suggested above to prevent initial hang but that doesn't fix the rest of the issues, and PrPro gets unresponsive and requires a force close.

    You can find complaints about this issue going back 4 yrs, why are we still having issues today? I don't have anything else but Adobe products, OEM bloatware, Quicktime and VLC loaded on this machine--there shouldn't be any conflicts.

    I found the solution

    install Media Encoder and Premiere

    go to /Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Premiere Pro (Adobe Media Encoder or other program)

    Delete 8.0 file and make folder named 8.0. Cmd+i on this folder, press the lock icon and set [rwx] for everyone.

    enjoy

    P.S.If don't work try copy and replace AdobeCoolType.framework (and/or amtlib.framework) from other Adobe app $APP$/Contents/Frameworks/

    Hi Bvawter,

    are you able to import .MOV files into Premiere now?

    Thanks

    Yes, I pulleded those quicktime files from the folder ( I trashed them later). PPro CC started and yes I can import .mov files.

    The application creates new ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle files when you open the application.

    Hello bvawter,

    Please see this FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

    This thread may also help: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1010136

    Basically, try repairing disk permissions, uninstalling third party codecs, like Flip4Mac, etc. first.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Thanks for the response Kevin.

    I tried repairing permissions.

    I recently installed OSX 10.8.4 but I've been succesfully using PP since then. PP is up to date v7.0.1

    I have read the other forum posts on this.

    Again, this problem cropped up using PP CS6, but I was able fix it using this procedure:

    1. Go to Applications

    2. Go to Adobe Premiere CS6

    3. Right click on the application and click on “Show Package Contents”

    4. Go to Contents –> Plug-ins –> Common

    5. Move the following files to the desktop: ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle

    6. Restart Adobe Premiere CS6 and it will successfully open up

    This no longer fixes it.

    I desperately need to get back to work.

    Even though I feel Adobe support should be included in a CC subscription, I'm considering purchasing Adobe Bronze support with a max wait time of 4 hours and only alloted phone calls for  $175

    thanks anyway
