Netflix Video Playback issue on MacBook Air 2020/ Safari macOS Big Sur.

is anyone else experiencing stuttering video on Netflix with films and shows encoded in Dolby Vision, or Netflix originals? is it due to the fact that 4K Ultra HD support for macOS Big Sur is still in development? is there any way to fix this? I've been tweaking with my Mac since I got it and I'm happy with its picture quality, but the constant flicker and stuttering is driving me mad.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Video playback problems in Safari, macOS Big Sur After installing macOS Big Sur I have video playback problems in Safari (YouTube for example) - it seems like it is not a video, but slide-show or something. I tried to change resolution settings from 1080p to Auto, or even to 480, but it does not get better - the speed and "smoothness" is terrible. I also can not find the Adobe Flash Player any more on my system, and I can not download it and install because of its EOL - https://www.adobe.com/ru/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html About my Mac: - MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 20150), macOS Big Sur 11.2.2, Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 Mb, 50 Gb free of 128 GB HD. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

fcpx playback fuzzy Hi folks; I just got a 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro all maxed out except storage (went with 2TB), and I am using FCPX for video editing. Most everything seems to be working fine; most of my PFS and MVFX plugins work, and those that don't seem to work in Rosetta mode. My issue is that my playback is somewhat fuzzy in the browser when viewing my footage. All shot in 4K, and all looks great when paused, but during playback it's soft. NOT using any proxy clips! The saved (shared) video looks perfect as well, so I know nothing is wrong with the software or the computer, and it must be a setting that I can't find. Anyone have any idea what I need to change so that I'm seeing best quality playback when editing? Thanks in advance!
