Clips app deletes Clips. How can I access the data in iCloud but not iCloud drive?

[james948]

I have a few projects in the clips app on iOS that are no longer there. I'm certain I didn't accidentally delete them. I've checked and there seem to be a lot of video files showing up in iCloud storage under the clips app but for whatever reason they're not made available through iCloud drive.

Is there any way of accessing these files?

I can't work out how at all.

Has ANYone found a way to resolve this? I tried over a year ago but no dice!
old precious videos need to be recovered! and it's taking 30 gigs from my icloud!

Useless. I tried contacting apple. They've all disappeared from iCloud. I downloaded what I could but i have no way of getting video out of the files.

I did it!
I gave it another go right after I wrote the last message.
First question; do you have the iCloud data downloaded to your mac? If not do that by using the apple data request on appleid.apple.com

Lmk. Then I can tell you how I did it.
In a rush right now.
