how to import movies to iPad using SD card

a theoretically simple task. In practice, either the iPad does not see the SD cards or does not see the videos recorded on them. It only sees photos and videos taken by a camera that have not been processed by editing programs. Every movie processed in the editing program is invisible. The same films imported by air droplets are visible and work approx.

How to format an SD card, how to record movies and is it even possible to import movies via the SD card and then edit them with iMovie?

I will be grateful for your help

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

Hi there dawid163,

It sounds like you're asking how to import edited photos or videos from your SD card to your iPad. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance.

"Apple camera adapters can import multiple types of media files from your digital camera or SD card. If the format isn't compatible with iOS, you won’t be able to view them on your device, but can import them to your computer later. Apple camera adapters can import only content that was captured by digital cameras. You might not be able to import content that was renamed, edited, or copied to the digital camera or SD card."

With that said, it's normal for edited content not to be imported. Have a look at this support article to learn more:

We hope this provides some clarity.

Cheers.
