iPhone 12 Pro messaging videos with blue / turquoise / cyan video

My partner has a new iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 14.1. Sometimes when she sends videos recorded on the new iPhone 12 Pro via Messages, the recipients get video that is just a solid blue / turquoise / cyan (adding colors to help searchers!) color rather than the actual video content. Audio comes through just fine. It's actual videos (attempting to be) sent, not links to iCloud videos. Might be with bigger videos -- the ones where it's happened have been larger (1:20 or longer). I just used her iPhone 12 Pro to send a video recorded on her old phone, and that transmitted fine.


So, bottom line: looks like longer videos recorded on iPhone 12 Pro sent via messages get video replaced with a solid turquoise image.


Any thoughts?

No it still turns blue with a 4 sec video with HDR turn on. If i turn HDR off and take a new 4 sec video it works.


All the other settings dont matter 4K 1080p.


only fix so far is HDR OFF. If only i cant turn off hdr after the video is recorded in HDR it would be great while i wait for the fix

My wife and I both got iPhone 12s at the same time (hers through Xfinity Mobile, mine through Verizon). So far, mine has not done this but hers has. Carrier is likely insignificant, I would guess. We both utilize iCloud for photo/video overflow, however she has probably 5x the number of photos and videos that I have. We share our iCloud storage.


Sharing via iCloud link is her workaround at the moment.

My wife and I both have iPhone 12 pro phones and are having issues with some videos. Some are fine and others have the issue of the blue/teal video with only audio. In the past a reboot seemed to get the video to come through but the most recent incident (a few moments ago) a reboot would not solve the issue and no matter what the video will not come through properly. The odd thing is, she sent the exact same video to her mother who has a iPhone XR and it worked just fine for her.
