DJI Drone Footage Will NOT Render in Timline

Question

I tried searching this already so forgive me if it is a recurring topic. I shoot aerial footage with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro in 4k at 24fps. I have worked with this footage for years and now all of a sudden it won't play back in my timeline even AFTER it shows that it's been rendered (Green bar). What is happening??? I've restarted my computer, tried different premiere projects. Changed the playback resolution. Nothing is working. I have a very fast M2 Pro Macbook Pro so hardware is not an issue and I have plenty of space on my internal SSD.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
