The issue where videos play for only one minute is almost certainly due to the "Optimize iPhone Storage" setting, which keeps a short preview on your phone while the full-resolution video remains stuck in the cloud, unable to download due to a poor connection or Low Power Mode.
To force the full video to load, ensure you are on strong Wi-Fi with Low Power Mode turned off, then tap "Edit" on the video to trigger a download from the server. Regarding the "AMP" file, this is likely a misinterpretation of an .AAE file (which stores edit data but isn't a video) or a sign of corruption caused by running out of storage while filming; to verify if the footage is safe, check the video on iCloud.com—if it cuts off there as well, the original recording was corrupted and is likely permanently lost.
