Updating the situation:
I’d like to do the following: for the first 15 minutes, I want to play the video normally and then either not show the rest or display a frozen image instead.
I occasionally encounter corrupted videos that only show certain parts and not the entire content.
I was wondering if I could replicate such a situation based on my selection. However, I would also like the option to view the entire video normally if I choose to do so through an alternative method
No because it wouldn’t be a video anymore. You would need to create your own file format and application to read that thing.
Also why? It seems like a very limited use case and I don’t know any scenario where I would need that. No one encrypts videos except for those (idiots) who distribute movies in the theaters or on Blu-ray.

The closest I’ve seen is those videos where they have to censor it and send you to Patreon for the full version.
Have 2 files? The encrypted full version, and the 15min version with a frozen image tacked on at the end of the video for X amount of time.
