VLC is not working on my mac

I’ve read previous old posts regarding this problem and see it’s recommended that I should reinstall vlc, but should I uninstall it first or can I just go ahead and install it again as if it’s the first time? If I have to uninstall first, will I lose all videos etc?

You can just download VLC from the VideoLAN site. When you install it, the Finder will pop a dialog where you choose replace and overwrite the previous version.


The current VideoLAN download button for macOS offers a selector, but if you are on Intel, just clicking the Download button gets you what you need.

Thank you, but I've tried dragging and dropping but that results in individual photos and videos displayed separately, not as a continuous mp4 video. It's a slideshow I'm trying to export and I can't understand why it just won't work this time when it always has in the past. Sorry if I'm being dense here - I really am not very technically minded, as you can tell!
