How to Fix Clipchamp Audio Cutting Out After Pausing a Recording
Question details
The user is experiencing an issue where audio stops recording in the latter part of a Clipchamp screen recording after pausing and resuming, despite the Bluetooth device remaining connected.
- Product
- Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Pausing and resuming a screen recording session in Clipchamp while using a Bluetooth microphone or headset.
- Observed behavior
- The audio cuts out and stops recording completely after the pause, even though the Bluetooth microphone is still actively connected to the device.
Before proceeding, ensure your Bluetooth headset has sufficient battery, is set as the default recording device in your system settings, and is placed close to your computer to prevent connection drops.
Verify Microphone Selection and Restart Clipchamp
Ensure that the correct microphone is selected within the application and restart it to clear any temporary glitches causing the audio drop.
Sometimes, the audio input source switches or drops momentarily when a recording is paused. Verifying the input selection and restarting the app can reset the audio capture module.
Open your system settings or a basic app like Voice Recorder to test your Bluetooth microphone and confirm it is successfully capturing audio.
Inside the Clipchamp editor, check the microphone dropdown menu before starting your recording to ensure your specific Bluetooth device is selected, rather than a default or disabled input.
Completely close the Clipchamp desktop app or refresh your browser tab if using the web version, then relaunch the application and attempt a test recording.
Update the Software and Test Alternative Hardware
Check for software updates that may contain bug fixes for audio capture, and test a different microphone to isolate the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Bluetooth mic disconnect when I pause a recording in Clipchamp?
Some Bluetooth headsets enter a power-saving standby mode when audio stops being actively transmitted. When you pause the recording, the mic may temporarily sleep and fail to wake up quickly enough when you resume, causing the audio to cut out.
How can I recover the lost audio from my Clipchamp video?
Unfortunately, if the audio was not captured during the recording phase due to a microphone dropout, it cannot be recovered from the file. You will need to re-record that specific segment or add a separate voiceover track.
Does clearing the browser cache help if I use the web version of Clipchamp?
Yes. If you are using Clipchamp in a web browser like Chrome or Edge, clearing your browser's cache and cookies can resolve permission conflicts and playback glitches that might be interfering with your microphone access during pauses.
