I found the problem. I was not saving the file properly. The file must be saved with prproj suffix attached. I found this on a YouTube video and it fixed the problem.

When you "import" files in Premiere, it doesn't copy or transcode those files "into" the project the way, say, Avid imports files. Premiere just "imports" clips into the project file that link back to wherever those files are being imported from. So if you eject the hard drive those original video files are stored on, or if you rename them or move them into a different folder, Premiere loses the link and you have to tell it where those original files are. Mount the hard drive again and then hit "Locate" and find those files.
