Viewing VR Videos

I have a mid-2011 iMac running 10.13.6. I have a VR Video I'm trying to watch using QuickTime. When I am looking straight ahead everything is fine. But when I look in any other direction it becomes distorted, totally out of perspective. Is there some other application to use for viewing VR Videos??

Thanks in advance for any thoughts -

Screen recordings poor quality import on iMovie I've been trying to edit some screen recordings I have taken on my Macbook on iMovie. Yet when I import the screen recordings into iMovie the quality and resolution is worse and all fuzzy. If I just open the screen recordings through quick-player the quality is perfect, exactly how it was recorded. But as soon as it's imported into iMovie it loses that quality. Does anyone know why this is or how to fix it? It would be greatly appreciated. The first photo is the one played through quick player. The other has been exported through iMovie at 4k resolution but still is blurry. It loses quality as soon as its imported into iMovie. It doesn't look too bad on here but when its a whole screen and you want the best quality, it is very annoying.

Virtual Display brightness changes dynamically I've been using the Mac Virtual Display feature for hours and hours and I noticed that the brightness of the virtual screen changes slightly. If I look at a bright white page (a blank webpage for example) in the middle of my virtual monitor, and I look at it dead on centered with my AVP, brightness lowers a tad. If I move my head a bit up, so the white page is now at the bottom edge of my AVP, the whole virtual monitor gets much brighter. I would love to turn this automatic feature off and control this myself. Is there a setting for this somewhere?
