Video import problem

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with the software when I import my videos directly onto my timeline or into my project. The software considers them as audios... I've tried many things, but nothing works... I can't find a solution... Do you have any ideas for me? Does anyone else have the same problem?

What you didn't show was the spot that would show us the anwser ... the control header block to the far left of the sequence.

 

I'm betting you have a blue block for audio track A1, but no blue block for video track V1 ... so essentially, you are telling Premiere to only bring the audio to the sequence. 

 

You need to have both an audio and a video track set in what is called Source Targeting. Those far left blue blocks.

Thank you very much! That was exactly the problem! I don't know the software very well yet, so I hadn't paid attention to this detail! Thanks again for your help 🙏

We've all been there done that ... what hurts is when you do that three years from now, come on here and ask about weird stuff ... and then go ... oh ... oops ... sigh. Which will happen on that, or global fx mute, or ... myriad other things.

 

This is a complex and complicated app, with a bazillion possibilities to do things ... ergo that times X possibiities to miss a little detail, not quite comprehend all 50 implications of each step, and of course ... to simply brain freeze on something.
