Whole playback screen glitches when I add 2 or more videos

I am having an issue that I am not sure is a one off. Can't find anything on it. I have been having this happen for almost a month, when I am editing a single video clip the program works fine, but the minute I add any other video/image file to the timeline the whole program starts acting funny. I cant drag the marker on the timeline (it drags, but visually stays the same and only visually refreshes to where it's supposed to be when I click a button like file) same thing with zooming out, pressing play, manipulating clips in any way, basically everything stops visually working in the app. This may or may not make sense, it is such a weird issue I have no clue what to do about it. Hope someone else is experiencing this and can help

Hi there!

Sorry to hear that. Would you mind sharing your system details (OS, CPU, RAM, GPU)? Which device is used to capture media files that you're editing?

 

Let us know.

Thanks,

Kartika

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:
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/workspaces.html

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.

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Handbrake to convert to constant frame rate:

Here is a tutorial:

Shutter Encoder may also be used to convert to Constant Frame Rate:
