Premiere Pro 2 bootup

[Vince Becquiot]

The file is at “Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\Plug-ins\Common\AEFilters”

It is an After Effects “effect”, but also works in Premiere.

If you don’t need it, try copying it to a different folder and see if that solves your issue.

Perhaps the plugin is corrupt or something..

Not sure what effect it provides, but on a standard install it’s located here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 7.0\Support Files\Plug-ins\Standard\Standard Effects

maybe try renaming it to write_on.aex.backup or something to disable it from being loaded? See if that works, if not you’ve got some other issues..

Well I installed Premiere Pro 2 to a different computer (not the one I use for Editing)and it instals and runs fine. The last file to initialize is the Write_on.AEX and then the Premiere Pro screen comes up. So I guess I have some other problem, lord knows what, on my editing machine. I’ve tried renaming the file etc but it continues to shut down when the initializing gets to the AEX files, the next one up in line. I’m running Canopus Edius 4 on this computer also. Any other thoughts? I’ll get ahold of Adobe on Monday but in the meantime…………….

Strange.. maybe corrupt registry or something. Even after a complete uninstall I wouldn’t be surprised if there were still some registry entries that lingered around, finding and cleaning those all out, all the temp files/shared libraries, etc.. and then reinstalling might help. Seems like an awful lot of work though.

Did the problem just arise suddenly? What else had changed prior to this problem? I guess in theory, if the computer had crashed or something, some data could have been written to disk wrong that would cause issues. Or perhaps a bad sector or two on the drive is interfering.. I suppose even a badly fragmented disk might cause something like this, but I’d expect you would be suffering a major change in overall system performance then as well.

Just thinking out loud here, maybe something will help. Sorry I can’t be of any more direct help.

If things were working fine, try a System Restore to a date before the problem began.

The system (computer) is fine. I can edit with Premiere 1.5, Edius 4 and Vegas without any problem. It’s just Premiere Pro 2 which I have trouble with. I have run registry mechanic several times and I use Diskkeeper to auto de-fragment. I am atb a loss. I had installed Premiere Pro 2 several months back and experienced the same problem and just gave up on it, but I decided to try it again to no avail.

Sure sounds like you have a lot of stuff on that computer. Maybe too many for Premiere to be happy…

3 editing applications on the same computer has to be an issue IMO.

Ok, so Premiere Pro 2 has never worked on that system for you then.. Hmm. I would guess you might have a corrupt install disk, but you said it worked on a different machine. There has got to be some aspect of your hardware setup that’s not playing nicely with Premiere.

I have had all three editing systems on this computer for a long time, 4 or 5 years now and have never had any problem. And I agree that something has gone amiss with something. I have Premiere 1.5 and it runs fine so I just don’t know. I’ll call Adobe tomorrow and see if they can help. Thank you for all your thoughts on my problem. I read on the Canopus forums some have had plugin problems with the After Effects plug in on earlier versions of Edius so I posted my problem there also. Again thanks a bunch and I’ll let you know if and when I resolve the issue.

I had a similar problem to yours a few months ago and tracked it down to the audio drivers/codec. I re-installed the sound card and it fixed it up.
