What Causes This Error?

There are a few reasons why you’d get the Clipchamp “We can’t export your video” error. These include:

Let’s take a look at a few fixes to try when this happens.

The “Clipchamp Can’t Export Video” Fix When Things Aren’t Going Right

If you’re stuck with an export error message and don’t know what to do, we’ve assembled a few troubleshooting tips below:

Try the Obvious Fixes First

Let’s start simple. Before doing anything else, save your project and restart Clipchamp. If you can, reboot your computer too to discount any erratic behavior caused by memory leaks and the like. It’s also a good idea to ensure that Windows and Clipchamp are fully updated. It’s also crucial to ensure that wherever you’re exporting the video to, online or offline, has enough space to accommodate the file.

Try the Web Version

A good way to check if the export error is related to the app itself is to try exporting the project using the online version of Clipchamp. Simply enter your Microsoft Account login details in your browser and try exporting your file. If it works, you know that your desktop app was the problem. If this fails, be sure to check your internet connection before attempting further troubleshooting.

Check Your Media

Sometimes a file that you’ve been working on has been deleted from Clipchamp, often by accident. It’s important to check your video project slowly and ensure there are no gaps in the video or sound files. If there are, be sure to reupload the clips to the app. You can also try using smaller video files if possible.

Disable Hardware Acceleration

If you’re solely using Clipchamp on a web browser, especially a Chromium one like Chrome and Edge, then the browser’s hardware acceleration could be causing errors in exporting. To disable these:

Step 1. Open up the “More” menu (three dots) in the top-right corner and click “Settings.”

Step 2. Choose “System” on the sidebar and uncheck “Use graphics acceleration when available” in the main window.

To disable in Edge:

Step 1. Open up the “More” menu in the top-right and click “Settings.”

Step 2. Navigate to “System and performance” in the sidebar, and click the “Graphics acceleration” button.

Step 3. Uncheck “Use graphics acceleration when available” and restart the browser.

Clipchamp also comes with its own hardware acceleration you can disable:

Step 1. Click your profile icon and choose “Settings.”

Step 2. Navigate to the “Export” tab in the sidebar.

Step 3. Drag the “Hardware Acceleration” slider to “Off” and reload the tab.
