60FPS video wont play

I have shot some video in UHD 60 FPS and when I upload those files into my mac, the files play but all you see is a black screen and just the audio plays. I've done multiple different files and everytime I've filmed in 60FPS the files just wont play.

I shot files months ago in 60FPS using the same camera and those play just fine BUT I do remember having trouble with those in the first place but I was able to make them work. I just can not remember how. Hopefully you all have some insight on what this could be

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

Mac computers compatible with HDMI via adapter

The following Mac models support resolutions and refresh rates of up to 1080p at 60Hz, and 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz, over HDMI 1.4b when using the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter with macOS Sierra 10.12 or later:

iMac (2017 and later)
iMac Pro (2017)
MacBook (2015 and later)
MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018)
MacBook Pro (2016 and later)

The computers listed above also support 60Hz refresh rate over HDMI when used with a supported HDMI 2.0 display, HDMI Premium Certified cable, and a compatible third-party USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter.

If the HDMI display that's connected to your Mac starts up to the Apple logo but then goes dark, you might need to update your HDMI cable. To ensure compatibility, and to achieve 4K resolution, Apple recommends a cable that supports HDMI 2.0 or later, such as the Belkin Ultra High Speed 4K HDMI Cable.
