same file as original, but says file type does not match

[im0gen]

The premiere file I'm editing on was created on a different device but the original clips were copied from the one I'm now trying to use. The and MP3 and some .MOV files can be located:

However, when I try to locate some of the .MOV and .MTS files it does not let me use the clip, saying that they are not the same file type, even though they are the same video copied from another.

I successfully located the same files onto another device last night, which was not the same one used to create the premiere file, but when I tried to do it on this laptop after purchasing a subscription for Premiere, it does not work so I am slightly confused. I hope this makes sense. Is there any way I can resolve this issue & use these clips?

In your last example, note it says the the file-type "audio/video" of the original is not matched by the file-type of the found clip ... "video" ... so it's not seeing the attached (we hope) audio file on the located media.

Somehow, it's not seeing the clips in the folder structure they're in, as-copied, as perhaps "completely" as it did the originals.
