Video editor crashing every time you try to export
Video export uses a lot of power and something is stopping it. Restart your computer, close all other programs, and try exporting a shorter clip or at lower resolution. This fixes most export crashes.
Video export is hard work for your computer. It turns video frames into a file that plays on any device. Crashes happen when something interrupts that process. The most common reasons are other programs competing for memory, your hard drive running out of space, or the export settings being too demanding.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Not closing other apps before exporting
- Trying to export at 4K or very high quality on an older computer
- Not checking if the destination drive has enough free space
- Not restarting the editor or computer before trying export again
- Trying to export to a network drive or slow USB drive
Signs you need professional help
- If you've restarted your computer, closed all other apps, freed up disk space, and lowered the export quality, and the editor still crashes, contact the video editor's support team.
