Premiere Pro Viewers Not Working

[Mickey5C05]

I've been learning how to edit on Premiere Pro (vers. 22.5) all day and had pretty much finished my first sequence when out of nowhere my Program monitor stopped showing me the sequence. Then the clips stopped playing in the Project viewer. I rendered everything in both spaces--but nothing changed. I worked with Final Cut Pro for over 20 years and even with the frustration in rendering that was a part of FCP, I've never had anything like this happen. I had just finished adding a title graphic and music when this happened. Could I have inadvertently clicked on something that made the clips unviewable?

I've looked through these pages and tried the suggested ":" Render in and out, but it did nothing. Do I really have to start a whole new sequence after hours of learning and editing?!

Help.

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.

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

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

Thank you! It looks like deleting the cache did it! I'll remember that in the future. Thanks again.
