Hi @joelv7609618

An MP4 is a video files. You place in image files. You open video files as video layers or add the video file in a video time line.

I no longer have 22.3 installed. I can drag and drop a MP4 onto a video Time line in PS 22.3.1  on my  windows 10 PC.  If it is a long MP4 it takes Photoshop a long time to add the video to the time line and render it so it is playable in the time line.
