why doesn"t airdrop work from macbook to ipad

When I try to send a video from my macbook to my ipad it says "failed to save item. Save to icloud instead?" I don't understand why I cant just share videos easily like I've done in the past. They are videos that I have saved from Final Cut pro.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
