Known issue 9/17: AI features, video tools and exports stalling or not completing

We're aware of an issue affecting several features in Adobe Express. If you're running into any of these, you're not alone and it's not something on your end:

  • Auto captions stalling partway (a lot of you are seeing it stick around 17%)
  • Clip Maker getting stuck while analyzing your video, then showing an "Unable to show status" error
  • Comic Creator not generating
  • Animated Video Maker not generating
  • Downloads and exports (PDF, PNG, MP4s, and others) hanging partway or not finishing
  • Remove Background may also be impacted

These all trace back to the same underlying service issue, which is why they're happening together. The team is already on it and working on a fix, and there's nothing to troubleshoot on your side.

If you're hitting this right now:

  • No need to restart the job or retry the download over and over, it won't push through until the fix lands
  • Best bet is to give it a bit and come back to it later - you can also subscribe to the status.adobe.com page to get updates on when the outage is resolved. 

I'll update this thread as soon as it's cleared, thank you for your patience while the team works on this.

    Would just about be tolerable for a free web service, not something I am paying premium membership for.

    There's not even any side fix to send to one of the full fat programs to finish and export.

    Sort it out!

    This is super frustrating. I cant get a MP4 to download past 90%.

    This problem is making me miss a VERY important deadline with a client, so I expect you guys to compensate me for this with a lifetime of free adobe subscription. It’s totally unforgivable to spend so much time making a presentation and then in the end, you can’t export it. And it’s not the first time I have experienced not being able to export files.

    Can’t you see - we can’t rely on your services if they are not working on / off all the time. 

    You chat AI assistant does not work either. So all in all a very lackluster service at this time.

    Same problem here. Yesterday I had problems downloading reels in mp4-format. Today everything was working fine until 1 hour ago. Now the download stops at 90%

    Like many people here, working on a project with deadline! Please fix this asap?

    I was having the same issue and had to go to the Adobe Caption link and bring it back into Express to fine tune them.
