Good afternoon GrumpyOldGuy27,

Have you tried editing the exposure / brightness settings on the video on your iPad? It might make the hockey pictures easier to see.

Update, when I turn off my HDR setting on my iPhone 13 and take a new video, (1080 30)the videos show fine on the 6th gen iPad. How do I get the iPad to view the HDR videos?

Hello GrumpyOldGuy27,

Are you seeing this issue with any other videos on your iPad? We ask because we want to make sure there is not an issue with the display or Photos app on your iPad.

If not, you may want to try to AirDrop the video again after restarting both devices to make sure there was not an issue with the transfer.

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

If you still have questions, reach out to Apple Support directly, as this may require closer guidance: Get Support

Cheers!

I too am having the same problem. I Air dropped hdr videos for my iPhone 13 to my 6th gen iPad both using iOS 16.2. . Videos start out looking normal for about 1 sec, then become overexposed. The previews look normal as well. When I try to edit them I get the Unable to Edit Video, because it is unsupported dialogue as well. If I send this video file from the iPad to a third device, my iPhone 12, it looks normal again.

Thanks for getting back with us, GrumpyOldGuy27.

Since the issues only occurred with videos taken in that specific environment with lots of brightness, it's likely that the hardware is just fine. These articles might offer some helpful tips of shooting videos with your iOS and iPadOS devices:
