Premiere Pro 2 bootup
by Phillip in Montana on Nov 24, 2006 at 8:56:10 pm

Each time I attempt to boot up Premiere Pro 2 when it gets to initalizing a file called write_on.AEX the program flickers and shuts back down. I've reinstalled several times, even bought a different graphics card (ATI 700Pro the old one to a GeForce 7800 card)but I am at wits end. Adobe support is off today and I just don't know how to resolve the issue. The write_on.AEX is or has something to do with a plugin in After Effects but I just don't know how this file or any other plug in could cause the program to shut down. Help anyone?

The file is at "Program FilesAdobeAdobe Premiere Pro 2.0Plug-insCommonAEFilters"

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 FilesAdobeAdobe After Effects 7.0Support FilesPlug-insStandardStandard 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.

You have tried to start PPro 2 with more than one project, or as if you are going to start a new project, right?

...we're not talking about a corrupt project are we?

It sounds like the problem is that he can't even get to the screen to load a project or start a new project. When the initial splash screen comes up, and initializes all the plugins, that's where it's crashing. Before the program even really starts.

[tcindie] "It sounds like the problem is that he can't even get to the screen to load a project or start a new project. When the initial splash screen comes up, and initializes all the plugins, that's where it's crashing. Before the program even really starts."


Actually he said it hangs when he sees what he later said was the last plugin to load...which can mean the next thing in the progression is crashing it...which would be when it gets a look at the project file.

The last thing you see on the screen may not be the problem, or you may not even see an acknowledgement of the load...chances are very good that it's the next procedure that's taking it down as it starts that next step...even if he isn't loading the project, that project still comes up in the recent projects panel.

Anyway, I still think that a bad project needs to be disqualified first.

If it hasn't been done already, I would recommend renaming the project (remember what it WAS called of course so it can be changed back), and then try to launch. At least this would eliminate a bad project from consideration.

Tim said "The last thing you see on the screen may not be the problem"

This is in fact the case. It is displaying the last 'successful' load.

Look for "Plugin Loading.log" in a Premiere 2.0 folder on your system drive and open it in notepad. You will see from the 'Write_on.AEX' onwards ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Premiere Pro 2.0Plug-insCommonAEFiltersWrite_on.AEX
Loading from the registry...
The plugin has a PiPL.
The plugin was successfully loaded from the registry.

Loading VST plugins...

Scanning for the following file types: *.dll

Scanning C:Program FilesSteinbergVstPlugins and sub-directories
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It may not be the same as mine but it indicates that after 'Write_on.AEX' it looks to load VST but what it doesn't say as part of the .dll is the codecs (dynamic link libraries are what contain the codec drivers). Thats where I had my problem.
If you search these forums and the Adobe forums you will find it is covered in detail.

What I did was open the control panel and disable the audio codecs, confirm PPro would open all the way and the while PPro was running go and re-enable the codecs. After that PPro would open normally everytime. Didn't make sense then, still doesn't make sense now; but nevertheless I blamed it on Bill Gates.

Baz is right, I don't and haven't got to the program project window. The program quits loading after the "write_on.aex" initializes.
You said "What I did was open the control panel and disable the audio codecs, confirm PPro would open all the way and the while PPro was running go and re-enable the codecs."
I don't know how to disable the audio codecs. When I go to "Sounds" there are Sound Playbacks, Sound Recording and Midi Playback controls. How does one disable the audio codec(s)? Do you go to the soundplayback Advanced Tab and select No Speakers? Or ???

In Windows XP

Control Panel (on the left switch to "classic view"

Then > Sound and audio Devices > hardware > Audio Codecs

Click properties > properties again

Select the Codec you want to disable > Properties > Do not use this codec

Control Panel (on the left switch to "classic view" OK!

Then > Sound and audio Devices > hardware > Audio Codecs I have eleven (11) codecs listed here. Should I disable all of them? They have "priority Codes assigned to them which I suspicion gives each a usage priority similar to a "boot up" priority. Perhaps I should just disable all of them?

Now that I am into this I recall about a year ago I had some conflicts with Total Recorder which screwed up my sound system. I believe I had to re-install it.............or something I just don't remember, to get my sound working properly again. I just never thought of a sound conflict as the culprit. I'll go give it a try and get back to all of you shortly. Thank you all!

Who would have thought! I had Total Recorder selected as my Microphone playback for "Speech" usage. I disabled it and the premiere Pro 2 boots up just fine. I had nothing in the literature that indicated such a problem might occur and I've spent a lot of hours cleaning up files, uninstalling, installing etc and thanks to you here and a few on the Canopus forum I feel fine again and my problem with the boot up is resolved. I truly want to thank all of you for giving an inept guy like myself a boost. Thanks a bunch.
One other question, why did Mr. Gates require practically every file be saved as a duplicate in the Documents and Settings folder?

I'm guessing it has to do with with backing up things easily without having to look for stuff all over the drive(s). All your important files in one place. That's a guess...

One last thing, I went into my audio codecs and selected the emulator codec once again. Now the program continues to boot up without any problem. I don't understand it but I don't care either. Thanks again!

Yes Phil... thats what I found as mentioned in my previous post...

"What I did was open the control panel and disable the audio codecs, confirm PPro would open all the way and the while PPro was running go and re-enable the codecs. After that PPro would open normally everytime. Didn't make sense then, still doesn't make sense now; but nevertheless I blamed it on Bill Gates."

See you have confirmed it wasn't something I did stupidly!

Hello, I am having the same problem. Premiere Pro was working fine on this computer. I opened a project I had stored on an external hard drive and it shut down. Since then I have not been able to get it to work for me. I have disabled all of the audio codec and it still shuts down on me. The external hard drive is not connected any longer. I have also deleted the prefs file and started the application holding the shift key. It shuts down when the Write_On.aex loads.

Does anyone have an idea of what I can try? I am out of town for 4 weeks and had planned to catch up on my editing. My software is at home...

thanks
