From the PT 2021.6 Read Me...

“Error launching video engine” reported with non-admin accounts. (UME-1631)
An “Error launching video engine” message may be encountered when enabling the Video Engine (Setup > Playback Engine) with
non-admin accounts after installing Pro Tools. If you encounter this message, switch to an administrator account, launch Pro Tools, and
enable the Video Engine, then switch back to the non-admin account.

Minimum operating system certified as compatible with Protools 2021.6 is MacOS 10.14.6. The latest version of Protools certified for your OS 10.12.6 was Protools 2019.10. Now Protools may work on systems outside of these certified versions, but you do so at your own risk as they have not been tested.
