Thank you so much for prompt reply. I figure out that import file direct from folder to source doesn't save in project. If i import first to project and to source the only it works smoothly without problem. Can you fix this issues please?


Cannot be fixed: it's by design.

Need to import the file first before being able to do anything to that file, e.g. set in/outpoints.

Most common issue is not source patching the tracks.

aource patching is not issue here, if i import video to source and drag immediately without selecting in and out it will drag to timeline, but as soon as i select in and out then clips cannot be drag. 
i re install the premiere pro but atill didn't work.

I am not seeing this on windows: try resetting prefs.

Import project into a new one.

Trash custom workspace and make a new one.
