Finder disable automatic preview

When I select a .m4v file in Finder, the audio track automatically starts playing. Is there a way to disable this?

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS High Sierra (10.13), 4GHz Intel i7, 32GB RAM, 3TB Fusion

  • Open any Finder window other than All My Files, and pull down the “View” menu, choosing “View Options”
  • Uncheck the box next to “Show icon preview”, then to apply this to change to all folders click the “Use as Defaults” button
