Videos Blur When Paused

Videos Blur When Paused

Why do uploaded videos blur themselves when paused?  Sometimes it's helpful to pause a video to take a closer look at what is being shown, but with the blurry image it's impossible.

 

See the videos in the following thread as an example:

By blurring, do you mean darkening a few shades?

That's it exactly.  Darkened and blurry.  Can't read anything.

Mine was dark, but not blurry:

BTW, I thought the cut and paste thing was fixed versus having to upload.

Interesting, it might help @Jaime_Lee diagnose if she knew what browsers & OS we're using.

 

I'm running Chrome on Windows 7.

Windows 10 and Edge browser.

I just tested Chrome on Windows 10 and the image is just as blurry.  It must be OS specific, not browser specific.

Windrows 7 Professional & IE11

Totally agree.  Also don't like how the videos start off using a lower resolution (fuzzy) and then switch to a higher resolution part way through playing.  Makes it hard to tell what's going on.  Wish you could just pick the playback quality/speed (like YouTube.)

Okay, this is really interesting.  Chrome gives an option to choose the video quality but Edge (Windows 10) does not.  Here is a screenshot from Chrome:

I just tried Firefox 59.0.1, Chrome 65.0.3325.181 and IE 11 on my Windows 7 PC. 

 

FF & Chrome were dimmed & blurry when paused, IE was just dimmed.

 

All had the video quality options.

 

All were low resolution / blurry for the first few seconds.
