Hi, anamay21,


You might try making a duplicate of the screen recording clip and re-rendering it to H.264, Mp4/AAC with the free download, Handbrake. Do that even if the codec already is indicated to be Mp4/AAC. Re-rendering can cure many issues.


You can get Handbrake here:


https://handbrake.fr/


A simple way to do it is to open Handbrake and do a File/Open Source. Navigate to your video and choose it as the source from the resulting screen. Then do File/Start Encoding. Wait a couple of minutes for the conversion to complete. Then save and import the converted clip into iMovie. See if it displays any more clearly.


Also, you might try simply exporting the unclear movie from iMovie and see if the exported movie displays more clearly.
