Hello,

I'm using iCloud photo library to sync and backup my images and videos to iCloud. Now when I record a video on the phone and watch it later on the iPad (optimze storage activated). I only get the crappy 720p version. To get the full version I can touch the "edit" button and iOS downlods the full version which then can be accessed until ios decides to ditch the file. So far so good - besides that Apple should integrate an option in which resolution the user wants to stream their own content.

Now I have some clips shot in cinema mode. When I tap edit, it loads the complete video and while I'm in the edit mode I can watch the full resolution. As soon as I leave the edit mode it swtiches back to the 720p crappy look. It doesnt make a differnce if cinema mode (in edit) is turned on or off. This really sucks because you basically cannot watch the video streamed from iCloud.
