i know the immediate reaction would "well its probably too high resolution for your system," however other apps like iina can play back the file just fine.

what i'm missing though, is quicktime's ability to zoom in on these large videos to 'pixel peep' at 1:1 resolution during playback (doing some large scale projection visuals and just want to be able to review my renders easily).

only thing i can think of is that these are coming out of blender, and maybe blender's built in ffmpeg uses some sort of encode settings that quicktime doesn't like. i've tried quicktime's transcode functionality, which generates smooth playback, but it only goes up to 4k (these are 8-12k renders). ultimately i have to go to hap or notch format for the final outputs, but they definitely aren't supported in quicktime at all.

i was just curious if anyone else has encountered a similar issue and know of any good workarounds?

thanks!
