I recently updated to ios 18.1.1. Unfortunately some of my videos in my camera roll (the ones I made with my phone) went dark. Neither turning autobrightness down nor turning auto HDR off helped (as I was looking for solutions, these are the best I could find). How can I solve the issue without reset every one of these videos?

I’ve also had exactly the same problem. Updated to iOS 18.1.1 last week and any videos I’ve taken since the update change to a darker version when I open them in camera roll. All previous videos before the iOS update are unaffected. Using an iPhone 12 with the normal camera app. All my new videos look so dark - and I have no idea how to fix this! Any ideas do share.
To add to my comment, interestingly, when I go to upload one of these videos to my instagram, for example, the darkness goes away and it looks normal. Could it be something to do with whether HD or 4K is on when filming?
HD can cause issues and so can having screen brightness too high. If your scene is recorded dark, but you brighten your screen, the dark scene may appear normal.
Many viewing devices and apps don’t support HDR. When distributing your finished product it’s always safest to not do HDR.
What format are you recording in? Apple ProRes, or what exactly? Do you use the native Apple Camera app or a third party app?
Just the original apple camera.
