How to Fix Clipchamp Video Import Stuck at 0 Percent
Question details
The user is unable to process a small MOV video in Clipchamp, as the import gets permanently stuck at 0 percent despite restarting the device and application.
- Product
- Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Importing a media file (MOV format) into the Clipchamp video editor for processing and editing.
- Observed behavior
- The video processing freezes at 0 percent and fails to progress, even though larger video files import without any issues.
Verify that your internet connection is stable, as Clipchamp heavily relies on web-based services. Additionally, try playing the problematic MOV file in a standard media player to ensure the file itself is not corrupted.
Switch Networks and Disable Active Proxies
Since Clipchamp processes videos using cloud services, network restrictions or active proxy servers can block the necessary connections, causing imports to freeze.
Network stability is crucial for Clipchamp. Even if your internet seems fine, specific network configurations or security protocols might interfere with the application's backend communication.
Disconnect from your current Wi-Fi network and connect to a different network, such as a mobile hotspot, to rule out local network restrictions.
Press the Windows key, type 'Proxy settings', and press Enter to open the system network configuration window.
Under the 'Manual proxy setup' section, toggle the switch to 'Off'. Ensure that 'Automatically detect settings' is enabled.
If you are running a VPN client, pause or disconnect it temporarily to prevent it from routing or blocking Clipchamp's web traffic.
Restart the Clipchamp application and attempt to import the small MOV video again to see if it moves past 0 percent.
Flush DNS and Reset Network Components
Clearing the DNS cache and resetting network adapters can resolve underlying connectivity glitches that prevent Clipchamp from communicating with its processing servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Clipchamp get stuck at 0 percent during video import?
Clipchamp relies on web-based processing to handle media files. A drop in network connectivity, active proxy servers, or VPN interference can block communication with its servers, causing the import process to freeze entirely at 0 percent.
Can a corrupted video file cause the import process to fail?
Yes, if the source video file (such as your MOV or MP4) is corrupted, incomplete, or contains unsupported codecs, Clipchamp will fail to process it. Always try playing the video in a local media player like VLC to confirm it is fully functional before importing.
Does the file size affect whether a video gets stuck in Clipchamp?
While larger files naturally take longer to process and upload, small files can also fail to import if there is an abrupt network interruption. File size alone is rarely the cause of a permanent 0 percent freeze; it is usually tied to network routing or file integrity issues.
