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.

    When I download a video to make captions, it is stuck at 17% and nothing happens. Tried in app, in browser, both mobile and desktop. Cleaned cashe, reloaded my devices, removed and installed back the app. Tried different videos, even those that were captioned successfully a few days ago. Nothing. 17% and all is stuck. Help!!!

    作成した動画のダウンロードが出来ません。アプリ版、ブラウザ版いずれも25秒の動画をダウンロードするのに動画の準備中から電波状況の良いところで30分以上放置してもゲージが5%から進みませんでした。アプリの再起動、端末の再起動を行っても状況は変わりませんでした。

    Title: Adobe Express Download/Export Stuck at 5% on Mobile and Desktop

    Issue:
    I am unable to download/export my Adobe Express project. The download process gets stuck at 5% and never completes.

    Product: Adobe Express

    Platforms tested:

    • Android mobile app

    • Desktop web browser

    What I tried:

    • Restarted the Adobe Express app

    • Restarted the device

    • Logged out and logged back in

    • Tried downloading a single page

    • Tried different devices

    • Tried different browsers

    • Cleared cache

    • Tested with a simple/single-page design

    The issue still occurs and the download remains stuck at 5%.

    Expected result:
    The design should export/download successfully as PNG/JPG/PDF.

    Actual result:
    Export remains stuck at 5% and does not complete.

    This is affecting my work because I cannot download completed designs from Adobe Express.

    Please investigate this export/download issue and provide a fix or workaround.

    I can’t export or translate PDF files to Adobe Express… is this part of this issue? Everything was working fine until September 16.
