Photo booth videos are saving as corrupted/blank files.

If I record a video on my mac photo booth that surpasses 3 or 4 minutes it saves as an empty video. 0:00 seconds and I'm unable to play it. This began happening after I updated to MacOS Monterey. I have put my computer into safe mode, changed, users, restarted, deleted photobooth library and made a new one etc. Any help would be great. I've attached a photo as an example.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

Hi! Has anyone found a solution yet? This happened to me today when I recorded something on my PhotoBooth on my new 2021 Macbook Pro (running on Monterey OS). Really urgent for me to recover this .MOV file as right now it's not even playing and any free website converter I upload it to, it just says "error". Please help Apple!
