1. Re: Premiere Pro crashes before opening
Harm Millaard Jan 19, 2010 1:04 PM (in response to rlafoto1)Keep thinking. In the mean time consider uninstalling and reinstalling. Don't forget to run Clean Script several times after uninstalling.

2. Re: Premiere Pro crashes before opening
Bill Hunt Jan 19, 2010 6:03 PM (in response to rlafoto1)Welcome to the forum.
When PrPro starts to load, there is a tiny line of text, that appears in the Splash Screen. It goes by quickly, but shows what is loading. What is the last line of that text? Hint: if you cannot catch it (small and goes by quickly), set up a video camera, focused on the Splash Screen and just tape the loading process. Play back that tape, and Pause on the last line.
It is common, if one has a bunch of VST plug-ins, especially if they are instruments VST's, that one of these will stop PrPro from loading. Fortunately, if one keeps launching, PrPro will compile a list of all of the problem VST's, and blacklist them. Depending on how many of these you have, it might take several launches.
If it is a VST problem, be aware that there are basically three things that can happen with VST's:
1.) PrPro loads and can use them
2.) PrPro loads, but cannot use them (there will be a one-time message to that effect, but the presence of these will not affect anything)
3.) PrPro tries to load the VST, but it crashes the program. See above of the advice to keep relaunching to get that blacklist complete, and then it will launch and NOT attempt to load those blacklisted VST's.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

theJHSquire Jan 19, 2010 7:33 PM (in response to rlafoto1)Same thing happened last night. I've reinstalled four times. Once the entire creative suite! I've watched it go through it's launch and it crashes at "Solid Composite.AEX" I don't know what to do...I make a living with this. Is this how Adobe makes you upgrade? I'm running CS3.

Bill Hunt Jan 19, 2010 7:40 PM (in response to theJHSquire)Welcome to the forum.
Considering that this is an AfterEffects effect module, I wonder if your installation of AE is smurfed.
Actually, with a good installation, the VST's are about the only things that normally stop PrPro from launching. It is not a common problem, at least not on this forum.
Good luck,

Bill Hunt Jan 19, 2010 7:44 PM (in response to theJHSquire)Here's an older THREAD on that module. It seems that creating a new Administrator Account fixed it for one poster.
Good luck,

8. Re: Premiere Pro crashes before opening
EckleySP Jan 19, 2010 8:29 PM (in response to rlafoto1)I have been working on a project that contains several multi-camera sequences. All was working fine until I accepted updates (tonight) that were being offered to me from Adobe. Now, I can't open the project - it just hangs. I can open other projects (that do not contain multi-camera sequences). . . Course, there's no way to UNDUE the updates. . . so I'm stuck.
Running Windows 7 64bit; An INTEL i7 processor with 6 GB of RAM
btw - There is nothing wrong with simply executing Premiere Pro - you get the 'welcome' screen; it hangs when I try to open this project.

rlafoto1 Jan 19, 2010 8:28 PM (in response to rlafoto1)Hi All,
Thank you for your help. I got it to work a few minutes ago. I set up a new user account and gave it administrative control. From the new user account I downloaded PrePro again. The first time I tried to install the program it did not intall properly and gave an error report. I restarted my computer and closed the firewall and virus protection and tried again. It worked!! I deleted the new user account and everything seems OK.
Thanks again for such a rapid response.

11. Re: Premiere Pro crashes before opening
Bill Hunt Jan 20, 2010 8:35 AM (in response to theJHSquire)Above, I posted links to fixes for that exact crash on loading. Most found that creating a new Administrator Account and running from it solved their problems. Take a look at the discussions in those links.
Hope that they prove helpful to you, and good luck,

12. Re: Premiere Pro crashes before opening
Harm Millaard Jan 20, 2010 8:43 AM (in response to theJHSquire)Did you follow the instructions? Clean Script etc.? If not, better prepare for a complete clean install of the system and programs. And fix your hardware problems. A single install on a properly setup system does it for most (99.99+%). If it doesn't for you, your system is whacky or you follow the wrong procedure to reinstall.

rlafoto1 Jan 20, 2010 9:16 AM (in response to Bill Hunt)Hi,
As I reported last night setting up a new account and disabling virus/firewall protection worked... There are 26 steps in Adobe technote "kb408983" and it was step number 11 (same as your last suggestion) that did it...

15. Re: Premiere Pro crashes before opening
theJHSquire Mar 16, 2010 11:55 AM (in response to rlafoto1)I have another computer that has the same suite on it and the suite worked fine. That computer was not hooked up to the Internet. I hooked it up for the first time and the Microsoft updates came flying in. Guess what the exact same thing happened to my that computer..." Premiere Pro crashes before opening", in the very same way. If I access Premiere from a new user on either computer I'm OK but it still sucks! Anyone know what's going on?

trompetistasolitario May 14, 2013 1:45 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Hi guys, sorry for opening this old post, but I tried doing the blacklist that you were speaking about, but I heard that it only goes well in Windows, not in Mac. My problem is that I can't open Premiere Pro cs4, because it crashes with music plugins, like WaveShell-VST 9.0.vst
I tried to do a lot of things, working with PlistEdit Pro, but I couldn't do anything. I have read all that you Bill Hunt posted in another posts. But its impossible.
Best regards
