Hi guys,

When I import media in the the project folder it seems to break the entire program, it bugs out and everything doesn't update when i move things e.g. when I drag the timeline to look at the edit it movie the footage but not the bar.

A 1 second fix is clip the file option and it refreshes everything but once i got to move things again it breaks, Everything works before i import media once imported it breaks, I've tried different files as well.

I've tried installing the old premiere pro as well and i couldn't open the project file due to it being a newer version

I have the exact same problem, I can't work at all.
Every time I try to import a media the software act weird and its unworkable.

Try delete cache, create new sequence, updated version of premiere to 24.3, updated card driver, playing with different option in preference. 
Nothing seem to work, every single time I import something the software break.

This sounds like the issue that I'm having now several years later. It's very difficult to describe but when adding or removing something from the project bin the program becomes unusable. Undoing the action that broke it, either putting the item back in the bin or taking it out, instantly fixes premiere and it works like normal. Obviously, you can't edit anything like this though and it makes the entire program basically unusable. I've tried a whole bunch of different fixes including using previous versions that didn't have this issue before but the issue carried over so it's likely a PC problem but I have no idea what.

What surprisingly worked for me was closing the "Project" window/opening another one over it.

Screenshot while it was broken:

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

I fixed it by creating a new project and Copy and psate the sequence into the new one, it allowed me to import the media and countinue with my work.
