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.

So every time I go to add a video clip to my Adobe Express video project the page crashes and says Reload Page. It happens when I delete a clip or adjust the length, basically when I do anything. Even opening the app or website, it glitches and reloads constantly, one after the other. I have plenty of memory left, I have a powerful laptop which never has an issue processing and this happened a while back. It took days to get sorted out and I cannot do my work while I wait for this crap to be sorted! Please hurry and help us out. It might be just another bug report to you guys but to us users, its life or death for our work.

Hi @Cameron, Thanks for flagging this! We’re aware of an ongoing issue affecting Adobe Express, and our team is currently investigating it. This could be behind the crashes and repeated “Reload Page” messages you’re experiencing when working with video.

Facing the same issue since this morning. I've already tried all the standard troubleshooting steps from my end, but it appears to be related to the export/download infrastructure. Kindly investigate and resolve the issue as soon as possible #Adobe
