How can I edit video on an iPad

Good Afternoon schmoy,

We see that you're having an issue with editing a video on your iPad that was taken on your iPhone. We'd like to see how we can help with this.

To get a better understanding of what you're experiencing, could you answer the following questions?

• Are you able to edit the video on your iPhone?
• How are you transferring the video from your iPhone to iPad?
• Which application are you using to try to edit the video?
• If you have a Mac, are you able to edit the video on the Mac or do you get the same message?

If you're using a third party app, we'd recommend checking to make sure the app is up to date. In addition to that, check to see what the supported file types are to make sure the file that you're trying to edit can be used. If this is a third party app that you're attempting to use, can you edit the video in the Photos app on your iPad? For help with checking that out, take a look at this resource:

How to edit videos on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac

Since you've taken a look at the resource regarding using HEIF or HEVC media, have you been able to determine which file type is appearing on your iPad? Also, have you checked the settings on your iPhone to see which type of file the video is being captured in? If you need assistance with this, take a look at the section labeled "Capturing this media" here:

Using HEIF or HEVC media on Apple devices

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Have a great day!
