How to Fix Clipchamp Export Failing or Omitting Text
Question details
The user needs to resolve an issue where Clipchamp fails to export videos properly, specifically omitting lines of text in the final output despite appearing correctly in the editor.
- Product
- Microsoft Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Exporting a video project containing text overlays in the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Observed behavior
- The exported video is missing different lines of text each time, or the export fails entirely without displaying any error message.
Before proceeding with the solutions, ensure that your Microsoft Edge browser is updated to the latest version and verify that your internet connection is stable.
Clear Browser Cache and Try a Different Browser
Clearing the cache can resolve temporary rendering glitches in Microsoft Edge, while testing in another browser isolates browser-specific issues.
Clipchamp relies heavily on your browser's caching and memory capabilities to render text and effects during export. A corrupted cache or a specific browser conflict can cause text omissions without triggering an error message.
Open Microsoft Edge settings by clicking the three-dot menu, navigate to 'Privacy, search, and services', and click 'Choose what to clear' under the 'Clear browsing data' section. Select 'Cached images and files' and click 'Clear now'.
Restart Microsoft Edge, reopen your Clipchamp project, and attempt to export the video again to see if the text renders correctly.
If the issue persists in Edge, open Google Chrome (which is officially supported by Clipchamp), log into your account, and try exporting the project from there.
Create a Minimal Test Project
Creating a simplified project helps determine if the original project file is corrupted or if specific media elements are causing the failure.
Contact Official Support with Project Details
Escalating the issue to Microsoft Support with proper documentation is the best step if browser troubleshooting fails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Clipchamp export fail without showing an error message?
Export failures without error messages often occur due to browser cache conflicts, insufficient system RAM during the rendering process, or silent background crashes in the browser. Clearing the cache or switching to another supported Chromium browser usually resolves this.
Which browsers are officially supported by Clipchamp for exporting?
Clipchamp is officially supported on the latest desktop versions of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Using unsupported or outdated browsers can lead to missing text, out-of-sync audio, or failed exports.
How can I prevent text from disappearing in my video exports?
To prevent missing text, ensure your text elements do not overlap improperly on the timeline, avoid applying too many heavy visual effects simultaneously, and regularly clear your browser's cache before initiating a large export.
