Hi Tony,

your Video is H264 compressed; changing to some other container (like
AVI) alone does not help.
I use plain ImageJ, not Fiji, so I don't know whether File>Import>Movie
(FFMPEG) can do it, but I think it should. If you don't have it use the
update site. See
   https://imagej.net/Video

If not, you can convert it to uncompressed AVI, e.g.

ffmpeg -i 'IMG_2472.MOV' -pix_fmt nv12 -f avi -vcodec rawvideo IMG_2472.avi

The uncompressed movie file can be read by plain ImageJ, but it will be
about two orders of magnitude lager than the H264-compressed version.
