How to Fix Clipchamp Auto Captions Showing No Results
Question details
Clipchamp completes the auto-captioning process but fails to display any captions for the uploaded audio or video files.
- Product
- Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- Windows, Web
- Scenario
- Attempting to generate auto-captions for Zoom recordings or Audacity audio files in Hebrew or English.
- Observed behavior
- The processing finishes successfully, but no text or captions are visible on the video screen or within the editing timeline.
Ensure your internet connection is stable and that your video or audio file format is fully supported by Clipchamp before generating captions.
Verify File Format and Re-upload the Media
Basic troubleshooting steps can resolve temporary processing glitches preventing auto-captions from generating.
Sometimes the auto-caption engine fails silently if the audio codec is unsupported or if the server experiences a temporary timeout.
Confirm that your uploaded file is in a supported format, such as MP4, MOV, or WEBM. If it is an audio-only file, ensure it is a standard format like MP3.
Trim your video or upload a much shorter clip (under 1 minute) with clear spoken audio. Click the 'Captions' tab on the right panel and select 'Turn on auto-captions' to verify if the feature works on a smaller scale.
Delete the problematic media from your timeline and media library. Refresh the web page or restart the Windows app, then import the file again and retry the caption generation.
Contact Clipchamp Support
If captions still fail to appear for supported languages, the issue may be a known bug requiring backend investigation by Microsoft support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my Clipchamp captions processing but not showing any text?
This usually happens due to unrecognized audio codecs, unsupported file formats, heavy background noise, or temporary server glitches. Testing a shorter clip with clear audio often helps identify if the file is the root cause.
Does Clipchamp support auto-captions for Hebrew audio?
Yes, Hebrew is listed as a supported language for Clipchamp auto-captions. However, users occasionally report known bugs where the captions process successfully but fail to render on the timeline.
What should I do if auto-captions fail in the Clipchamp Windows app?
Try accessing Clipchamp through a supported web browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. If the web version also fails to display captions, it is highly recommended to reach out to Clipchamp support for a technical resolution.
