Hi stephs,
Welcome to Sony Community!
We're sorry to hear about this. Was there any change on the system that might cause this issue? Does this also happen when watching videos online (youtube) or using a disc?
Try to boot to safe mode and replicate the issue. If the video clip behaves on safe mode then this means that the cause oft his stripes aresoftware related issue.
Regards,
Jen
