video is automatically shortened when inserting a file

Hi guys, does anyone know a solution to the following problem:
When inserting a file into the project in Premiere, the video is automatically shortened a bit and starts virtually in the middle of the video. The start is cut away strangely.

Thanks in advance!

Double click the file to open it in the source monitor and make sure there's no in point in the middle of it.

First of all, thank you very much for the quick reply!
What exactly is meant by in point in the middle?
Thanks in advance!

These are In and Out points, they mark the part of the clip that you want to use in your timeline. If you have them set by mistake, right click on the video in the source monitor and Clear In and Out.

In and Out points (or markers) are the most useful basic things in video editing, I would suggest you watch some quick YouTube tutorials for beginners before you dive into Premiere so you know your way around the software.

Actually as of I set no points in this regard. Attached is a screenshot of my timeline. Is there anything that stands out?

Did you check for an inpoint and outpoint in the source monitor?
