  • error message: “Can’t get core function pointer” . Premiere won’t open

    Posted by Luke Walden on December 10, 2015 at 4:21 am

    I was smoothly running Premiere Pro CC 2015 all day today. I shut down at the end of the day and now when I try to start up Premiere again just a few hours later the program won’t open and I get the error message, “can’t get core function pointer”. Help!

    I run Premiere on a Macbook pro, 2.3Ghz i5 with 16 Gb RAM, intel HD graphics 3000 512mb running OS 10.10.3. This has worked well (though sometimes a bit slowly) for a year. I keep project file on the laptop hard drive, media files on a firewire 800 Gdrive. It’s been working fine.

    The only thing that happened in between successful Premiere today and failure to open Premiere tonight was that I ran a multimedia interactive holiday card/calendar thing for my son that I had installed a couple of days ago but not yet opened. When it installed Abobe AIR opened and did the installation. To see if it might help I uninstalled the holiday card and restarted the computer a couple of times. No dice.

    Thanks for any help anyone can offer. I can’t work!

    Hi Luke,

    I’ve got the same problem after installing the latest Adobe software update. Tried everything, complete de-install, reinstall. Works for a while and then I get the error message. Got no clue, help would be much appreciated!!

    I got the same error and tried reinstalling PP and it still persisted. The only solution so far is to push the error pop up 10 times in a row and then Premiere Pro opened. Annoying but a temporary fix! Hope that helps!

    Well at least I’m not alone. I couldn’t find this topic in this forum or adobe and was beginning to wonder if I’d broken my premiere setup myself.

    I had success uninstalling and reinstalling premiere. I’m up and running again. We’ll see how long that lasts…

    Thanks for the replies! Good luck.

    After a couple of reinstalls of the latest Adobe versions I gave up and installed the version before. Software is running like a charm again.

    Update to 10.10.5 and it should work.

    huge help.

    I tried disabling the effects and that didn’t work so I just turned them off completely. Works for me cuz it was going to a sound guy anyway. They should probably fix this because not everyone is so lucky.
