iOS 18 video playback frustrating need slider like iOS 17

Hope anyone can help! In the new iOS 18 photo app when I’m playing back a video I can start using the slider but then if I stop and pause it, the slider doesn’t seem to be working and I can’t go to the spot on the video that I want. I loved iOS 17 where you could see the whole video below and slide along if you wanted to take a screenshot of a frame. Can anyone help me get it back to the way iOS 17 is or is there a trick to getting iOS 18 video playback Easier using the slider if I want to slide it and stop and take a screenshot? Hope I’m explaining it right! Just very frustrating and there must be a trick!

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

It seems to depend on the format of the video. The slider is working well for my older videos in the HEVC format, but not for my most recent videos, taken with iOS 18 in the 3D format, or even for the edited videos, saved in the format H.264.


I cannot move the slider to a certain frame in any of the 3D videos, or in any of my edited videos saved in the format H.264.
