Choppy video playback on videos shot on iPhone X

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro. I noticed that with any video shot on my iPhone X, the playback is very choppy in the "Photos" app. At first I thought it was because they were shot in 4K, but I have videos shot in 4K from my old iPhone 6s and they play back fine. Any idea why this happens or if it's possible to fix? I know this is an old machine but it's still pretty powerful.. has 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 and 16 GB of RAM. Full system specs below.

If you export the original video file to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player is it still choppy?
