Synthesia Video Stuck Generating

Share
Ongoing Web Updated November 13, 2026Based on 2 user reportsHow we research

Quick answer

Videos pass six stages (Moderating, Queued, Preparing, Rendering, Assembling, Finalizing). A long wait is usually manual moderation review; do not regenerate, which lengthens the wait.

Most likely fix: Wait and do not regenerate

How to fix it

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

  1. 1. Wait and do not regenerate

    1. Repeated generation hinders the process and increases wait times
    2. Leave the video as it is

  2. 2. Contact support after 24 hours

    2. Clear the browser cache and use the latest Chrome or Edge with one tab open
