When dragging video files into timeline is plays as sound only

I have tried to add in a video clip to my main timeline but it doesnt drop above my main timeline as a video clip. It drops it UNDER my main timeline and is a sound only file.... How do I fix this?


I have made a 50 second screen capture to actually show the issue as I am sure the explanation will cause more questions, lol. Thanks in advance.

I looked at the video, though it’s hard to see on the loom site, but it looks like an audio only clip. Do you have audio only editing switched on?
