Problems editing iphone videos on ipad.

After installing ios version 18.1.1 on both iphone and ipad, when I want to edit a video on the ipad taken with the iphone, the response is that the video is unsupported and therefore cannot be edited. Prior to this update I didn’t have this problem.

iPad, iPadOS 18

Hmm. I just tried it. I took a video on my phone. I tied transferring by AirDrop and with an iCloud sync, and in both cases I could edit the video on my iPad. I adjusted shadows and highlights, and I cut out the first few seconds-- it seemed to work OK for me. The extension on the file is ".mov," which seems normal.


Any idea what could be the difference?


Have you tried a forced re-start?

I’ve been having this problem too. Just done yet another update and it’s still not fixed. Why aren’t Apple responding to this issue? 😡 I’m recording on IPhone 13 and trying to edit on iPad 10. It will edit on my iPhone fine. I’m sharing the file through iCloud. Videos recorded on my iPad can be edited on my iPad.
