Q: Video clips judder after importing to iPhoto

Hi all. My 4k video clips play fine on my iPhone 6s. When I import them into iPhoto, the videos shake and judder, almost as if frames are missing. When I import them into iPhoto in a different user account, they play fine. Does anyone have an answer as to why this is occuring. Thank you for any help that is offered.

    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

    Thank you very much Old Toad. As an addendum, after I posted my question, I imported some of the files into FCP, and the clips all played and burned normally, which is ultimately what I'm looking for. Obviously a problem with iPhoto. Anyway, here is the results from Etrecheck. Thanks again for your help.

    You have a large number of adware installed.  A simple, quick and safe way to remove adware and malware is to download and use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Macs. It's was developed by one of the most respected and top contributors in these forums and recommended by nearly all of the top contributors here.

     

    If you would prefer to do it manually follow these instructions from theSafeMac.com site (author of Malwarebytes): Adware Removal Guide

     

    You also have ClamX antivirus installed.  It's not needed as there are no viruses for Macs.  AV software can and has been documented as closing down Macs.  Uninstall it according to the developer's instructions.

     

    Where is the Photos library located?  If it's on your external HD how is that drive formatted and connected to the Mac?

     

    Also export the original video out of the library to the Desktop and check to see how it plays there with Quicktime Player.  Any difference from Photos?

    Thank you Old Toad. For the life of me, I embarrassingly cannot fathom why I didn't think of extracting the file myself. Anyway, It played well using Quicktime from the desktop, so something must be up with iPhoto. I'm planning on updating the OS anyway, but thank you for taking the time out to help me.
