see/watch the video(s); see/watch the clip(s)
I'm a Cantonese speaker so I understand what it means. "片" must be moving pictures like movie, tv shows, and it usually means short clips or parts of the entire video. It doesn't mean static pictures, however.

Comments: 睇片 vs 睇試片 vs 試相
Although "睇片" may mean "watching a movie", it is more common to say "睇戲" (watching a movie) in Cantonese.
I believe that the character "片" in "睇片" more relates to short clips or videos that are viewed over the Internet using a mobile phone or a PC.
Moreover, film directors may also say 睇片 to mean "watching a preview" (睇試片).
"試相" means "seeing a photograph" in Cantonese. In Cantonese, a photograph is usually called "相" instead of 片.
