View videos in actual size in Photos App

I have a number of Standard definition videos in the Library of my Photos App. Given that they are 720 X 576 pixels, they obviously look blurred when viewed in the default full-screen mode on my iPad. How can I view it in actual size?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

iOS 18.2 viewing videos vs photos in photo library When viewing the new photo library in iOS 18 in dark or black background mode there is no way to tell a photo from a video. In white background you can barely see the tiny grey play button at the bottom of each video but it does not exist when viewing with black background. That is a terrible oversight. When trying to show others a video you have to blind them with the bright white background as you scroll through the library to find a video. I never use that mode to view photo library.

How do I turn off the filmstrip preview in Photos on iPhone 15? I have an iPhone 15 running iOS 18.2.1. When using Apple Photos there is now a "filmstrip" of very tiny photo thumbnails that covers the bottom of each picture. How can I turn off this feature?! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

IOS 18 photos App video scrubbing is ruined Now that I’ve updated the photos application I am unable to scrub videos nearly as effectively especially frame by frame. The video is shrunk down. You can’t zoom and scrub properly. You can hardly see where you are in the video with the tiny white bar at the bottom. Seems like such a step backwards. Apple please fix this.

Use Split View to open Photos in a smaller window :
