Why are my videos not playing?

[AC Question]

For some reason I can not play any of my videos that I took with my phone. When I go to the gallery and look at the images and videos as a whole, they show up, but once I select it to play, the first image in the gallery pops up. I have tried selecting the first image and swiping until I get to the video I want and it just goes right back to my first image. Anyone know what the issue could be or how to fix it?
