KineMaster Export Failed: 'An Error Occurred While Exporting'
Workaround available Android, iOS Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
KineMaster export errors usually come from low storage, a resolution above what your phone can handle, or clips the phone can't decode. Reboot, free storage, close other apps, then export at a lower resolution or bitrate and re-encode problem clips.
Most likely fix: Reboot the phone and export again.
Symptoms
Export stops with 'An error occurred while exporting', 'Error exporting' or 'Problem exporting', freezes near the end (often around 99%), or produces a file with black frames or no sound.
Why it happens
- Not enough free internal storage
- Export resolution or frame rate above the device's capability
- Screen recordings or clips from other devices the phone can't decode
- Another app (screen recorder, YouTube, picture-in-picture) using the video hardware
- Phone locked or app sent to background during export
- Outdated app version
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Reboot the phone and export again
- Back out to the KineMaster project list so the project is saved
- Restart the phone
- Open only KineMaster and export again
2. Free internal storage
- Android: Settings > Storage; iPhone: Settings > General > iPhone Storage
- Delete or move large videos and unused apps
- In KineMaster, remove unused downloaded assets from My Assets
3. Export at a lower resolution or bitrate
- In the export screen pick a lower resolution (e.g. 1080p instead of 1440p/4K)
- Lower the bitrate slider or frame rate and export again
4. Keep the phone unlocked and close other apps
- Close screen recorders, YouTube and any picture-in-picture video
- Don't lock the screen or switch apps until the export finishes
5. Re-encode problem clips
- Find the clip where the export stops (screen recordings or files from other cameras are common culprits)
- Select the clip and use KineMaster's transcode/re-encode option, or re-encode it in KineMaster as a separate project
- Replace the original clip with the re-encoded version and export
6. Update KineMaster and contact support
- Install the latest version from Google Play or the App Store
- If it still fails, email KineMaster support with where the export stops, screenshots of the error and the .kine project file
