Apple Photos will not play video clips

I have a number of video clips in Photos, such as "clip56.mov". When I try to play them, I get the message: "Photos cannot play this video because it uses an unsupported format." I tried to export them but then got a message "Export complete with Errors. 0 files have been exported to : videos. This export operation failed to create a file for the photo identified below. clip56.mov unknown error (1,012)"

I do not remember having this problem before. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

I don't know about Apple Photos but .mov files usually play in Apple Quicktime. Try putting Apple Quicktime on your system if you don't already have it and use it to open the .mov clips.
