Premiere Pro is SUPER glitchy...

Premiere Pro (CC, v12) started being so glitchy today that I can't even use it.

As you can see in the video below, I drop the clip into the space to create a timeline...nothing happens...it seems to create a timeline, but it's seemingly invisibile until I hit the spacebar to play it (which I don't do in the video).  When I hit space, t'll play but I can't click on anything in the timeline.

I also can't click any of the tabs at the top.  (Audio, Color, etc)

Is there any solution to this?  I have things I need to get edited!!

    If that doesn't work, try updating or rolling back your video driver directly from the card manufacturer's site.

    Well...it seems to have remedied itself.  For now, at least.  I didn't do anything else, nothing updated or got rolled back...nothing changed that I know of, but everything seems to be back to normal.  So...yea...I'm not going to question it too much and hope it lasts.  lol

    Thanks for everyone's assistance!

    It also seemed to work for me if I deleted the large files in the project.

    So, it seems to not have worked after all.  Whether I open a project or create a new one, the timeline doesn't show up, I can't click on "audio, color", etc at the top, scrubbing doesn't work right, waveforms aren't loading...it's totally useless now and I have no idea why.  Video here:

    I even went as far as completely uninstalling it and reinstalling it.

    I don't know what to do now.  Any other ideas?  I haven't updated my graphics driver in quite a while so I highly doubt rolling that back will change anything.

    Try updating it.

    That was the first thing I looked at.  Says it's up to date.  I just completely uninstalled, then reinstalled Premiere Pro, anyway and it's still screwed up.

    The reset might have done it.  Thanks!
