I am able to import media to a new project, but unable to add new media to that same project. I follow the same process, and select the new clips to import, but nothing happens.

I'm importing from my GoPro Hero7 Black.

I would appreciate any suggestions on troubleshooting. I just updated the software to 19.6.3016.0.

Here's my dxdiag.txt

Thanks!

At first glance it sound like maybe something's wrong with that specific project.

What happens if you use Save As and try again? If that doesn't work, reopen the project, click on the timeline and type Ctrl+A to select all content. Then create a new project and paste the old project's content on the timeline and save that. Are you now able to import new media clips?

Hi Optodata, as always, thanks for coming to my assistance. I just realized the problem - I'm trying to import from my GoPro, not my computer.

I THOUGHT that's what I did with the original files, but I must have imported from my pc. I just imported another file to this project and it worked.
