iCloud Photos Not Syncing Video Edits Across Devices

I recently ran into an issue with iCloud Photos on my MacBook and iPhone, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows a fix.

I’ve been editing a batch of videos (over 200) in iCloud Photos on my MacBook, mainly 'Copy Edits' adjustments like saturation across multiple videos to save time. Everything seems fine on the MacBook—edits are applied and saved, and iCloud Photos says it’s fully synced.

However, when I check on my iPhone or icloud.com/photos/, none of those video edits are syncing. The videos are there, but they still have the original settings, as if I never made any changes.

Are video edits not supposed to sync via iCloud Photos, or is this some kind of bug? Any advice or workarounds would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
