Why won't iMovie play clips or previously made movies on Mac?

iMovie will open but when you add clips the movie won’t play and neither will movies I have make in the past. Help!

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?
