I had been having issues for over a week with Adobe Premiere 24.6.1. Every time I would play video that I had in my timeline, it would go for about 2-3 seconds, and then Premiere would completely crash. It didn't matter what kind of file I would put into my timeline, how big the file was, etc. No matter what would be in my timeline, if I would try to play it, Premiere would crash.
I tried every possible suggested fix online for this, and nothing worked. I deleted my Media Cache, Uninstalled and Reinstalled Premiere, reset my preferences, and so on and so forth. FINALLY, I figured out that I could re-install old versions of Premiere. So, I re-installed version 24.6, and now my program isn't crashing anymore. I don't know if there's a bug with 24.6.1, but it should probably get looked into. This is the first time ever I have had problems with my application crashing after a software update.
