Sample Media in Premiere 2023

Thank you.

I tried to uncheck the star.  Did not work.

Simple.

In the upper left corner, see the Favorites section, with the starred items? Click the stars to un-favorite them.

And of course you can skip the import via this page easily. Type a project Name, select a Location, make sure nothing is selected in the middle section of media nor any options on the upper right blue (selected/active).

Now click Create, you get a blank new project as before. And you can import folders as bins either through the Project panel/Import option or the MediaBrowser panel.
