HeyGen Video Stuck on Processing

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Tell queued from processing

   Copy steps
   1. Open the video in My Videos.
   2. Queued means it is waiting for a slot; it has not failed.
   3. Wait for active jobs to finish or cancel ones you do not need.
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Check the status page

   Copy steps
   1. Open status.heygen.com.
   2. If an incident covers rendering, wait; otherwise the problem is specific to your job.
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Cancel and resubmit

   Copy steps
   1. Cancel the job.
   2. Replace smart quotes and em dashes with plain characters and split segments over about 200 words.
   3. Submit one replacement at a time; several at once add to the queue.
   4. HeyGen says canceled or failed generations are not charged.
   Did this fix it? Yes No

4. 4. Contact support with details

   Copy steps
   1. Email support or use the chat bubble.
   2. Include video ID, status shown, how long it has run, and whether you already resubmitted.
   Did this fix it? Yes No
