Hi All

I have been shooting 4K 30fps on my iphone 8 plus for a few weeks now and use icloud photo library. When i access my videos on my 2015 macbook the 4k ones have clearly been compressed heavily and playback very low resolution. If i drag the file to my desktop its usual;y around 10mb (the original should be around 90mb) so I know its being compressed.

If i export the video within the photos app and make sure unmodified original is selection it plays back full quality and file size.

Any suggestions? Ideally i would like my 4K full sizes files in HEVC format to playback full res within the photos app as this is where i view all my media.
