Videos in Timeline Changing Colour

Certain videos are turning a light green/purple in my timeline (I've attached a picture). I have m4v and mp4 files doing this, but my avi file is fine. I've tried changing Mercuri Playback Settings, turning it off and on again and clearing my disk cache but it had no effect. Thanks!

    Try resetting the preferences:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/Premiere-Pro/FAQ-How-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-Premiere-Pro/td-p/...

    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:

    Also,

    Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot the properties of your media in tree view:
    https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

    If the file is variable frame rate, which although Adobe says it will support, many users are having issues with VFR.

    Use Hand brake to convert to constant frame rate:
