Method 2: The Offload and Re-download Dance

This one's a bit more involved, but it's still pretty straightforward. First, you're gonna offload the video. Go to the video in the Photos app, tap the share button (that's the little square with an arrow pointing up), then tap 'Duplicate'. This makes a copy of the video.

Next, delete the original wonky video. Don't worry, you've got the copy safe and sound. Then, go to the iCloud website, log in with your Apple ID, and find the video in your iCloud Photos. Tap the download button, and voila! Your video should be back, all shiny and new.

Method 3: The iTunes Sync (Yes, iTunes)

I know, I know, iTunes isn't everyone's favorite, but it can still be useful. First, connect your iPhone to your computer. Open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically), then click on your iPhone at the top. Go to the 'Movies' or 'TV Shows' tab (depending on what type of video you're trying to fix), then sync your video. It's like giving your video a little iTunes spa day.
