Is it possible to create a screen saver from
a .mov (movie) clip?

The xscreensaver screensaver will play a movie or a playlist of several movies as the screensaver.  The xscreensaver FAQ has a entry on this at https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#mpeg

The command I use in my own personal ~/.xscreensaver config file looks like this.  It plays randomly selected videos from a M3U playlist:

    "Play Movies"  mpv --really-quiet --no-audio --fs              \
                    --loop=inf --no-stop-screensaver          \
                    --shuffle --wid=$XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW  \
                    /raidarray/Videos/xscreensaver.m3u       \n\

The RPM for the MPV video player has to be installed.  MPV will play most types of movie files, including *.mov files.  My m3u playlist contains a collection of the Apple NASA ISS and drone flyover *.mov videos.
