When you see "Stabilizing" during export, CapCut is processing video stabilization to reduce camera shake and make your footage smoother. This is a normal step, but the duration can vary depending on your project, clip length, and settings.
If you notice that stabilization seems stuck or takes unusually long, try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Check Which Clips Have Stabilization Enabled
Review all clips on your timeline and ensure stabilization is only applied where necessary. Overusing stabilization, especially on multiple or long clips, can significantly increase export time.
- If you are using compound clips, remove them before troubleshooting, as they may interfere with stabilization processing.
2. Use Stabilization on Shorter Clips
Stabilization works more efficiently on shorter video segments. Applying it to long clips can drastically increase processing time and may even make the export feel stuck.
3. Simplify Your Timeline
Reducing the number of stabilized clips or splitting long clips into smaller parts can help speed up stabilization.
- Consider applying stabilization only to the most shaky segments rather than every clip.
4. Check System Resources
Stabilization is resource-intensive. Make sure your device has enough available RAM and CPU power, and close unnecessary apps to improve performance.
5. Retry Export
After adjusting the above settings, try exporting your project again. Shorter clips, fewer stabilized segments, and simplified timelines usually result in faster and smoother stabilization.
