Assuming you have a good image - it should be recognised as encrypted in any of the usual applications (ufs-explorer or r-studio) or even DE, all are platform agnostic. You'll need the password though.

I also never used Mac. But are we talking about the boot disk of this Mac or just an external disk?
Anyway, if I understand the way in the video correctly, it cannot encrypt already existing data and will wipe the whole partition/disk before it will be encrypted and mounted. Then and only then it is ready to receive data. If this video-tutorial was followed carelessly and clicked through ...data is gone and you have an empty image.

Can you give more details:
-Which MacOS version exactly? Sierra...Catalina vXX?
-Is it only one partition or three?
Example for three
Code:
Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1              40          409639   200.0 MiB   EF00  EFI System Partition
   2          409640      1953262983   931.2 GiB   AF05 
   3      1953262984      1953525127   128.0 MiB   AB00  Booter

-MBR or GUID?
-HFS+ encrypted or APFS encrypted?

Maybe this helps: https://support.apple.com/guide/securit ... ee0835/web
Also possible that the encryption is bound to that specific Mac-device, but that's only a guess...

If it's an external WD myboo HDD with filevault enable, you need to use orignial USB/SATA bridge that was on the drive. If you connect SATA directly, it won't work.
