Unable to Download Video - Download Error

I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue when trying to download video projects in Adobe Express. While I can successfully download static posts (images, graphics, etc.), videos that include footage from the Adobe Express media library consistently fail to download.

The error message simply says “Download Failed” without further details.

I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Switching browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
  • Using incognito mode
  • Clearing cache and cookies
  • Restarting my device
  • Signing out and back into Adobe Express

None of these have resolved the issue. 

Is anyone else facing this? Any suggestions or updates from the Adobe team would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@KariAnn24142792e312,

 

Welcome to the Adobe Express community! We’re sorry to hear about this. Thanks for trying the steps. Did you try duplicating the project to see if that helps? Could you please share the file URL via private message with edit rights so I can investigate further?

 

Regards,

Tarun

On my end, it started working again without me changing anything, which was strange. A couple of things that might help on your side are checking that everything is up to date, including your browser and Windows or macOS

Hi @defaultcjp51qwxmlln

 

It looks like something in your network configuration is blocking access to one or more Adobe services. This could be caused by firewalls, ad-blockers, or network proxies.

 

If you’re using a managed or enterprise network, please check with your network administrator to ensure Adobe services are allowed through your connection.

 

Can you please follow the guidelines under the following link and see if this resolves the issue?

Hi there, I have come across the same issue getting the "Download Failed" prompt when exporting to MP4. I've tried the common troubleshooting steps as the OP.  It seems to be a common problem from this thread.

 

Is there a known solution to resolve this issue?

Hi @wesleyw16271947,

 

We’re sorry you’re having trouble exporting your video. 😔 To help us investigate, could you please share your project privately with edit access and include your Adobe ID? You can send it via a private message in the Adobe Express community. This will allow our team to look into the issue more closely.

Thank you for your help and patience!
