QuickTime Player - Can't Make Video Recording

I'm on a 2019 iMac with Monterey 12.7.1 and can no longer make a video recording on QuickTime Player—from either the built-in camera or an external USB cam (both options used to work just fine). It will show the live video input for a few seconds and then appears to bog down and get stuck, and it cannot make an actual recording.

This iMac is a stinker in general, mostly due to the abysmal 1TB Fusion Drive I believe (which has 770GB free currently), but it should be able to make these recordings and has done so in the recent past. Appreciate any help or suggestions!

Here are the specs of this machine:

Model Name: iMac

Model Identifier: iMac19,2

Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Core i5

Processor Speed: 3 GHz

Number of Processors: 1

Total Number of Cores: 6

L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

L3 Cache: 9 MB

Memory: 16 GB

iMac (2017 – 2020)
