Lightning transfer cable

[mhuilker]

So I tried to use the SD transfer lightning cable that I use on my iPhone on the iPad. It imported the video and works great on the iPhone but doesn't work on the iPad. Can somebody help?

Are the videos in .mov or .mp4 format? The iPad has trouble with one of those. I'll have to double check which one.

Looks like .mp4 files are that ones that give the problem.

.mov

it may be the same reason why you can't use the litchi screen record option on the iPad but you can on an iPhone, something to do with video system and file resolution.

Emm, Strange - I don't have any problem with screen recording on iPad (iPad pro 9,7", iOS 10.3) using Litchi.

Doubt the cable actually has anything to do with it. You would be getting a different error if the cable wasn't working. Have you tried to transfer the files to a PC or laptop?

I've transferred from sd card to laptop and PC but didn't use the cable. I've been using this cable with my iPhones for over a year never an issue but just bought the iPad mini and this error keeps coming up. I even airdropped the video from my phone to the iPad and it still didn't work. So I ruled the cable out

Put the video in the cloud and it now plays on the iPad but only through the cloud

That warning suggests that your version of imovie doesn't like the format. Try Using VLC - it's free, works on everything & plays all formats.
