iPad unable to edit videos taken with iPhone 12

Hi, I just got an iPad for the sole purpose of editing videos taken with my iPhone 12. The very first video I tried to edit resulted in this message: “Unable to Edit Video. This video cannot be edited because it is unsupported.” The Photos settings on both of my devices are set to “Optimize Storage.” Any advice?
