Most, but not all clips are freezing in playback of a sequence

Hi, I'm pretty new with Premier, hopefully I can explain this well enough. Also attached a clip so you can see it for yourself.


I've made a couple videos before without this issue. One this one project I'm working on all of a sudden my clips are freezing on playback. This is from the timeline, not after an export. I haven't tried exporting it yet because it's not done.

 

But the first two clips in the sequence will play, the rest all freeze on the first frame. Each clip is about 5 seconds (it's a drone montage), and in playback you'll just get five seconds of the first frame before it moves to the next clip, you'll get five seconds of it's first frame, and so on and so on. No transitisions have been added between the clips.

 

I've tried rendering, it does nothing. I've tried Googled suggestions of resetting my layout, that did nothing either. Clip is attached of my issue.

 

HELP. And thanks.

    Correct answer RedBengal

    PROBLEM SOLVED.   The hard drive was just too full.  It was roughly 2/3rds full, which has never been enough to just lock up an editor for me before, but this time it was. Premier handled everything fine once I got down to about half full.

    Hi @RedBengal - For the media that you are having issues with can you right click and select Modify > Interpret footage then post a screenshot.

    Here's the screen shot. I have a little bit of an update. After posting this I noticed I needed to run an update. I did, and that fixed it. But now the problem has somewhat returned. It's not as many shots, but it's a group of five or so at the end of the sequence.
