video timeline

I was just hoping somebody could help me I am new to premiere pro I was using imovie and then final cut previously and I was just wondering is there a way to have nore than just the thumbnail displayed in the video section on the timeline.  Its verry frustrating all I can seem to view on the timeline is the thumbnail which is making editing so much longer for me 😞

Please post a screenshot of your timeline.

Exactly what do you want to see on the timeline?

Can you see the video in the Program Monitor?

If not:

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.

Are you talking about showing a filmstrip view on the clips in your timeline? If so, you can do this by clicking the hamburger menu on your Timeline's tab and choosing "Continuous Video Thumbnails" in the bottom half of the list.
