I'm trying to insert a clip from a video in premiere pro and when I do it gives me either black and static or just black...what's wrong with it? what am I doing wrong?

Did you capture the clip from a camcorder? What format did you capture it in? Was it MPEG?

it's just a general AVI of Naruto. I've edited them before but now it's not working...I even tried putting the media into the same folder as the project thinking that would do something...nothing.
