Premiere Pro: Troubles viewing and editing my sequence

[SaraFrancisR]

When I select a sequence to edit in Premiere, it doesn't show up (view below).

If somehow I do manage to get it to appear after three minutes of random clicking, I cannot move the playhead to edit it, even though the video above shows I am scrubbing through it.

My premiere is up to date as well as my computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and using an older version of Premiere. I am working off of Dell Laptop with windows 10.

Please help! This has been happening for about a week now.

I've done that, but still nothing. In order for it to appear, I click the "window" tab 4 times but even still the playhead does not move and I am unable to edit the sequence.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
