I know buffering is used, but it implies that the video is getting downloaded still, but what about a video that's already downloaded and keeps pausing for some reason. What adjective would you use to qualify such a video?

    You can say the video doesn't play smoothly. I think "stutter" is also used sometimes.

You can use the adjective choppy.

Example of use in https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/play-video-smoothly-pc:

Watching choppy video playback is like sailing choppy waters: rough, frightening, and may lead to nausea.

You can use the adjective jerky. Example of use in this StackOverflow question:

The video plays but it's really jerky.
