Gifs won't play

2021 iMac silicon Monterey

I was using the Command-Y to-play them but now when I try it––or when I press the space bar––they open in Preview as the multiple images.

Why, all of a sudden, will MacOS preview / finder not play mp4 files? I've read other threads and none of them make sense to me. They're talking about codec issues and VLC being the answer; I couldn't disagree more. The mp4 files that are not playing for me were rendered on the same system. If my Mac can "encode" the mp4 it should be able to "decode" the file. This has been an issue for me for the last several months and I've not found any logical solutions. I've been rendering and playing mp4 files on this same Mac. Now, when you try to play (spacebar) the mp4 file from Finder, it opens the 1st frame of the video and that's it; none of the play, search, FF or RW buttons work. What's the problem?

Black video clips - FInal cut pro 11 problem Hello, I have a serious problem with Final cut pro 11. After updating to the new version of Final Cut Pro 11 and updating the project library, my media (which is fine) appears black on the timeline, and relinking videos doesn’t work. Reinstalling Final Cut Pro 11 or changing the folder where the videos are located doesn’t help either. The video files are stored on a disk in their usual folder, and there has never been an issue before this update. This is a big problem because the only way to fix individual clips is to select them and choose "Transcode Media." While this restores the clip and makes it work on the timeline again, it creates unnecessarily large data files. How can I fix the project if this problem ( I am using MacBook Pro M1 Max and Sequoia 15.1 update) Here is a picture: Thank you for any help.

They should open in Quick Look, not Preview.

Try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally.

Just to add, they will open in Preview if you db-click on them.
