Can't drag Video to Timeline: Adobe Premiere Troubleshooting

If you can't upload video to Premiere, but the audio comes in fine, try one of these fixes!

My recording setup (btw some of these are Amazon affiliate links):
Camera: iPhone 11
Recording software: Quicktime
Editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects

You can also try to check the A1 and V1 on the LEFT side of the Lock Icon. If the A1 is highlighted, just click it and try to drag the Video again. You can now put videos.

It looks like when you click the A1, audios will only be allowed to be dragged on the timeline and vice versa. Hope it helps! ♥

Thanks Anne! I tried everything for a half hour, and was getting desperate. I found your video, and your solution worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Loved the way you displayed different solutions, short and sweet!... there were other videos, but super long winded explanations!

Thank you. I couldn’t figure it out. Selecting new sequence from clip worked. It was driving me crazy.

YOU MADE MY DAY!!! I was pulling my hair out! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

Just to the point, no rubbish. Keep up the good work ;)

Thank you! Four years later and I still needed to find you. Surely Adobe should have fixed this by now? You're an angel!

Two days before my project deadline, been trying to fix for 30 minutes was near to throwing my laptop out the window. This fixed the issue, THANK YOU SO much!!

[tinaleeofficial]

was about to cry because I simply couldn't figure it out. THANK YOU so much for hits!

[ScendoraStudios]

Such an easy fix! Such a perfect title for the video! Short and sweet! Thank you!

[PhantomSavage]

God I'm such an idiot. I always forget about the video layer toggles sometimes being off. Thank you.

I went through each of the methods you gave in the video and the LAST one worked. I'm still scratching my head as to why this happened all of a sudden. I've been working on this project for a week. I wasn't even able to drag the videos I already HAD in the timeline back into the timeline again. The one thing I did this morning was to sort my assets, trying to put them in alphabetic order. I must have checked something. At any rate, thank you for the suggestions and the answer that worked for me! I'll be able to complete my Illustrator tutorial now!

Thank you so much. I'm here trying to work on college projects and I was about to cry and scream. This saved me so much time.

[jorgemartin]

Thank you, your solution worked great for me. I think the error happens when the first sequence was created from an image and then add a video in that timeline.

thank you very much ma'am for your help, the issue had been troubling my mind so much and I am reliever to have found a solution. thanks to the creator, and you.

[mayuribangar]

After wasting 30 minutes watching videos on a similar solution, finally got the way. Many thanks to you!

[camilogonzalez]

You meeee, the clear in and out was the trick. Turning channels on & off wasn't working. Thank you very much!!

[christowndotcom]

The last tip of making a new sequence then copying in to the main sequence worked for me! Thanks! I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro V 14 for Windows

Thanks. I have been dragging all videos into project for months now. This changed my life.
