How to adjust wallpaper resolution on my MacBook running Sonoma?

Just upgraded to Sonoma on my 2023 Macbook and am trying to use the wallpapers. Some of the Landscape wallpapers do not fit my screen properly. It seems to be too high of a resolution as I am only able to see a portion of the picture. There doesn't seem to be any controls to fit the picture to the screen. I am trying to use the Scotland ones. I also did a bit of digging and found that those wallpapers are .mov files rather than a picture file like jpg or png. Can you even change the resolution of .mov files?

I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Sonoma 14.2.1, ie all the latest updates and have the exact same issue. Why did you remove the "fit to screen", etc options that I have read about in all prior versions? Its quite ridiculous that the images you supply in the Wallpaper screen zoom into a single corner of the image by default and have zero options for correcting.

Why is it that old features that work and users like, are removed when you make updates? stop the insanity and restore the functions users want and soon. this thread goes back to last fall and you've not corrected something that was a functioning feature in prior OS. Why? I don't want to know. I really want you to fix it.
