Premiere v26.5 not opening Excalibur

zzz

Is anyone else having trouble with Premiere 26.5? My shortcut doesn't seem to launch Excalibur. I can still access it through 'Windows/Extensions/Excalibur Settings' but not any other way. I tried a full reinstall, and it didn't work. Thoughts? Help?

PS (Sir Ivan, I love you. Thank you for all you've done for us!)

Hail and well met, Sir

(thank you!)

make sure you have granted macOS permissions to Premiere Pro:

If you’ve already granted permissions, try to reset permissions (sometimes macOS doesn't have them right):

give permissions to Premiere Pro (accessibility & input monitoring), skip if permissions already granted
untick Premiere Pro in permissions
restart computer
tick Premiere Pro back in permissions
launch Premiere Pro and test

Finally, if nothing above will help, let’s turn to some black magic.

This will reset All permissions for Premiere 2026 on your machine, so you will need to give other permissions again (access desktop, documents folder):

open terminal
paste and press enter (password confirmation is required):
sudo tccutil reset All com.adobe.PremierePro.26
restart computer manually
open Premiere Pro and test (give permissions if prompted)

Full terminal reset did the trick!
Once again, his majesty saves the day!
