I am getting numerous glitches in video that I am trying to edit

Question

I keep video files on an external HDD.Something happened (I guess with Windows) and the index on the disk was corrupted. Several folders disappeared from the index, but recovery software found the files, which I offloaded so that I could work on them.If I play the video file on the PC with Media Player Classic, it plays without issues, but when I try and edit it in Premiere, it has numerous single frame glitches - either a green screen or a random frame from another part of the video.Has anyone else encountered this and, if so, how did you resolve it.The files are MP4, 1080P, 50fps.Thanks in advance.

Hi All,I have no idea how or why, but I seem to have sorted it.I downloaded a free copy of CapCut, opened each video file and immediately exported it (same resolution and frame rate), opened it in Premiere Pro and bingo, playing without glitches.Thanks for your suggestions.

Will the clips play in any other software? I’m not super familiar with Windows disk index but is it possible they’re still corrupted?

Since these are MP4s they’re also getting cached before playback. Might be a good idea to delete your media cache and let it rebuild; hold down the shift key when you start Premiere and select that option.
