Apple Photos slideshow - video not playing

I've made a 10-minute slideshow with about 120 photos and three videos. All the videos play in their album, but in the slideshow only two of them play as the show runs; one doesn't. Why not? It's less than a minute long. Can't seem to find the answer.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Hello ViajeroContento,


This page here can provide assistance for issues with the Photos app on your Mac: Get help with the Photos app on your Mac - Apple Support


Make sure that your software is up to date
Photos is part of the Mac operating system. You can avoid or fix many issues by running the most up-to-date version of macOS. Learn more about updating the software on your Mac.


If you're having other issues with Photos
If you're experiencing other issues—like missing or blank photo thumbnails, unexpected behavior, or if Photos won’t open—try to see if it's an issue with your library by following these steps.
Create a new Photos library and see if your issues persist:

1. Quit Photos.
2. Press and hold the Option key while you open Photos.
3. In the dialog that appears, click Create New.
4. Give your new library a name, then click OK. Note whether Photos opens successfully with this new library.

To return to your main Photos library, quit Photos. Then open it again while holding the Option key, select your main library, and click Choose Library.
Alternatively, you can open Photos in another user account on your Mac and note whether Photos opens successfully.
If Photos opens with the new library, or in a different user account, it might mean that there's an issue with your library. Follow the steps to use the Photos library repair tool on your main Photos library.


Cheers.
