Why am I getting this instead of my video in Premiere

Using Adobe Premiere Elements 2019.

Why, when I export a video, do I see this screen instead of the video I just exported to 1280x720?  It just sits there still as the indicator at the bottom moves across the screen as though it is playing something.

This is that Premiere shows if it can't find the clip that you imported into the project.   For example, if you renamed the clip or moved it to a different directory after you created the project, this is what you'd see.

OK, makes sense because I have been moving the files around (not copying) but there is a right arrow at the extreme right of that image and if I click on that, the video that I want, plays.  Strange.

No matter, though, just strange.
