Videos larger than 11 MB fail to import + editor jitter

I’m unable to import video files larger than approximately 11 MB into my project. Smaller videos import normally, but larger files fail to import.  I also noticed some jitter/stuttering while working with video in the editor.  Expected behavior: Video files should import normally regardless of being slightly larger than 11 MB, and playback/editing should remain smooth.  This issue is reproducible with multiple video files.

Hi ​@hopeful_Wonderland271e!! 

This isn't expected behavior and the threshold is well below Adobe Express's supported video file size.

Could you share the following details so we can investigate further?

  • Device and OS
  • Browser and version
  • Video format/codec (e.g. MP4/H.264, MOV/HEVC)
  • Video resolution and file size
  • Whether the jitter happens with a simple project without video
  • Any error message shown during import

As a quick test, try importing the same video in Incognito/Private mode or a different browser. If possible, also try an H.264 MP4 version of the video to rule out a codec-related issue.

A screen recording showing the import failure and editor jitter would also be helpful.

Once we have these details, we can investigate this further.

Best!
