PP Freezes when importing files, always at same spot (approx 60% done). Already reinstalled 2x

I have the most recent version (did updates after this bug started and still not fixed) of PP for MacBook Pro and up until today it's worked great. Now, EVERY time I try to upload media files it freezes at approx 60% completed and will never go forward. I have to cancel every time, and this has become incredibly frustrating. I have uninstalled and reinstalled PP 2 x, and have restarted MacBook many times, all to no avail. Memory is at 40% available (average) and I have 200GB of free storage. ANY HELP is much appreciated!!
