Learn how to reset your preferences at launch to fix issues that might be affecting Premiere Pro.

Before you begin

Back up your preferences before resetting them manually, as some of your customized preferences, like keyboard shortcuts, workspaces, and style settings, will be affected by your actions.

Launch Premiere Pro and hold down any modifier key, such as Command, Option, Shift (macOS), or Ctrl, Alt, or Shift (Windows).

If you've opened the Reset options dialog by holding down any modifier key, select the relevant options, press the Continue button to perform the specified actions, and resume the launch process.

Depending on the keyboard modifier (or modifiers) used, the options will be pre-selected in the dialog:

  • Opt or Alt: Reset app preferences
  • Shift: Reset plugin loading cache
  • Opt or Alt + Shift: Reset app preferences and reset plugin loading cache
  • Cmd or Ctrl + 3: Disable third-party video plugins

Select OK to confirm the specific options selected in the previous dialog.

Result

The next time Premiere Pro is manually restarted, the selected options in the Reset options dialog will be processed.
