      AaronA,

      This is gamer footage, so it was probably acquired via screen capture program. The output is likely an odd size and variable frame rate. Take the footage into Media Encoder and export it as GoPro Cineform as 1920 x 1080 30 fps and reimport the footage. My opinion is that it will be much easier to playback and edit with. Please try it.

      Thanks,
      Kevin

        Hey, I know this is a couple years later but I just wanted to say this was the solution for me. I had the same UI glitches as the OP and I was also taking a screen capture (through Windows gaming capture, I assume that's what the OP was using as well). I use screen captures all the time but this one was of a weird aspect ratio and of a program that's a little laggy. I brought it into Media Encoder and exported it as YouTube 1080p. Worked great. Thanks for the solution.

          I understand the issue, It is not always Adobe at fault, it can also because of drivers or OS issues.

          Have you tried resetting the preferences of premiere pro if not then try as follow -

          • Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while launching Premiere Pro. You can release the Alt key or Option key when the splash screen appears.

          I am unable to understand the glitch your facing. Can you please make a short video using screen recorder and explain the issue

          "then move them into the data box" - Do you mean you import into the project and then drag it to timeline? and when you add the 5th video, premiere pro becomes unresponsive.

          Also, let us know what format & codec your working within premiere pro?

          Hi,

          It happened to me once on my jpeg photos and videos. And in my cases, I encountered few damaged files. For importing issue, my PR once crashed while importing bunch of folder/files. and it's due to my previous OS updates.
