Playing the movie I made in iMovie on my mac

I made a movie with iMovie, on my Mac, to upload to utube eventually. It exported to my desktop but when I try to play it, the message says no preview & to open mk video. When I try to do that, nothing thing happens. How can I play the video?

iMac 24″, macOS 11.5

iMovie won't import videos Hello, I have Mac OS 11.5.2 Big Sur, with the most updated iMovie, I am using a late 2013 MacBook Pro laptop. I made a couple movies using my iPhone and iPad, and am trying to edit the videos and thought of iMovie, since thats really all I have, and iMovie won't let me import the videos. I tried bringing in other movies from other sources, and it doesn't seem to want to work at all, with any video type. Am I missing something? Thank.s

Why Did Apple Create iMovie When There is no Way to Add Video? I am using Ventura on my MacBook Air. I opened up iMovie. Under libraries I can see Photos. I dragged a movie clip from Photos to the Time line and it only shows a still image when I play it. But the music track below it plays. Is iMovie not editing video? What am I missing?
