macOS says the app can't be opened

Move VLPremiere Pro into Applications and open it from there. If macOS still blocks it, use Open Anyway in Privacy & Security.

1. Make sure you dragged VLPremiere Pro from the disk image into the Applications folder. Don't open it straight from the disk image window.
2. Open it from Applications.
3. If macOS still blocks it, open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to VLPremiere Pro.

Other things to check

• Your Mac has an Intel chip. VLPremiere Pro runs on Apple silicon only. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu: the chip name should start with M. See System requirements.
• Your macOS is older than macOS 14 Sonoma. Update macOS first.
• The download was interrupted. Delete the .dmg, download it again from Account › Downloads and compare its SHA-256 checksum with the one shown there.

If it still doesn't work: open a ticket in Account › Support and we'll help.
