Choppy video in QT10.5, plays fine in QT10.3

I transferred a video H.264 codec from macbook air using 10.3 to one using 10.5. The video plays perfectly smoothly on the former, and very choppy on the latter. Can anyone help resolve this? Thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

iMovie and quick time plays choppy video How to fix my iMovie to edit video? I have an MP4 file that I transferred from my pc via USB. The video plays normal on the pc it’s in 1080p.

Final cut pro x - how to export an mp4 video with 192kbps audio quaity I need to export a video file at 1920x720 in mp4 format and the audio line must be at 192kbps. when i try that on fcpx, using h.264 codec, it automatically uses AAC at 48kbps…the only way I found to get the setting I need was using one of Apple’s compression codec but then they are not compatible with browser nor windows machines (even if played on quicktime for windows). In my mac it plays perfectly but everywhere else it plays just the sound, video is black. Is there another way to set the file to be exported with the characteristics I need?

4k video will not render on timeline early 2011 MBP MacOS 10.13.6 High Sierra FCPX 10.4.6 Hello, I have used fcp often to edit 1080p video. The rendered clips (Prores 422 LT) run flawlessly on my older computer. I would now like to edit some 4k video. I've created a 4k project file, but when I import 4k video to the timeline, no white dots appear above the video to indicate the clip is being rendered. If I make any change to the clip (color correction, frame size, transform, opacity.... anything) the white dots appear and the clip gets rendered to Prores 422 LT. If I import 1080p clips to the same timeline, the white dots appear and the clip gets rendered. Any idea what may be causing this? How can I troubleshoot this and find a solution?
