Why Can’t I Edit iPhone Videos?

For several months now (due to updates?) video editing on my iPhone XS Max has become extremely limited or nonexistent. Sometimes I can trim and save a video, but then when I attempt any more edits, they can’t be saved. What’s going on Apple? I saw this issue in much earlier questions, but with no solutions.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Transfer first the video to a macOS or Windows OS computer.

Then try to edit the video from the computer, which is usually more convenient.

If you have a macOS computer use iMovie, see: iMovie - Apple

If you have a Windows OS computer, I am sure you have / know third party app you can use.
