Black screen after time remapping - please, help!

I have about 40 files from car DVR. And I need make a long movie to show my trip in short time and make an accent of viewers to some moments. So I need to raise speed to 1000%, but in some moments reduce it to 50%. First, I put all videos to my timeline, and after it I make "clip from sequence" - it's, I think, best way to edit long video. After this, I set my time remapping keys, and lift line to 1000%. And from this moment my video playing only till certain point. After this point - black screen. If I reduce speed to, for example, 200% - everything is OK. What I'm doing wrong?

By the way, if it's important, I have strong machine - 3950X, 64RAM, all SSD, 2080Ti.

Well I had same problem and it wasted alot of my time BUT!  I TOOK my videos I wanted to time remap and used adobe media encoder and ysing those file I didnt have my videos suddenly going black. I did this with a .gif file tooand that also worked. I googled "why does clip disapear in time remapping premier pro" and found that the file incompatibility was the problem. It fixed everything for me, EVERYTHING.

I'm guessing that the source clips have a variable frame rate which Premiere has problems with...

Use media info to check to see if your source clips have a variable frame rate

If they do, use handbrake to convert to a constant frame rate.

Thank you, but I arleady checked this. There is same bitrate, same resolution, same file format etc. And... CBR. All files has been recorded in 4 hours on one device, one SD-card, no one setting has been changed while recording. Now I resolved this promlem trough render all files from timeline to one .mp4 file, after this I use this file like  like source and have no promblems. Of course, it was longer, but effective :))

I work around to try for now would be to do a render and replace. Then apply the speed ramping to the clip.
