Hi let me explain my problem in detail . I use a apple and a samsung device. I capture photos on my iphone load them PC then again load them into my samsing device to organise them as folders and give each image/video a sequence numbering based on the folder. All was well until a month back but now I have realised that when I try to edit a video to trim or any other sorts of edit in the gallery app it gives a warning "Can't edit video because is corrupt or not supported", I can assure that the video files are not corrupt as they are easily editable in my apple device and on my PC, even until a month back edits were possible on my samsung device but now as stated above it gives me that error.
NOTE:- The old imported files are still editable but all new files which I am loading into my samsung device newly have been giving this warnings. Even the same video file which was imported a month ago when now imported to my samsung device gives error.

Could it be the apple devices problem? Or a issue with the gallery app

You are most probably recording in HDR which is dolby vision in iphone. Samsung doesn't support dolby vision but uses an alternative called HDR10 which is co developed by samsung.

After checking the settings, I think I may have found the issue as you have said Yes iphone records in HDR format and as it doesn't get direct support here, So there is a option in iphone gallery app stating *when copying files to other devices check the format and to send the file or send original raw file*, even though it is set to check format and send the file the iphone is failing to change the compatability format and is sending the raw file. It is the iphone problem.

You can use the '3u' utility for windows to export the videos in mov format.
