My Quicktime loads movie but doesn;t play in Monteray 12.5, only still frame

This movie is created with Quicktime, a screen recording. But Quicktime cant play its own move. But VCL can play it. Not good.

Hi kaffeburk,

Welcome to the Apple community.


I'm no expert in this area.

Just wondering in which format you exported / or saved / the screen-recording created with Quicktime.


Eg: Seems on saving a screen recording, the format is .mov, the format that plays in Quicktime.


However it seems QuickTime can export movies to other file formats and resolutions

ie: for sharing, for use on websites, or maybe for use in other apps / devices.


The VLC app can play a whole variety of movie file formats.
