Fix download and export issues

If a download fails, won't start, or gives you a broken file, this is the checklist.


1. "Download failed" toast

Most common cause: the presigned download link that was just generated couldn't be reached. Try again:

  • Click the Download button a second time — each click generates a fresh link.

  • Check your browser isn't blocking pop-ups or downloads (look for a small icon near the address bar).

  • Disable aggressive extensions (ad blockers, privacy tools) that may intercept storage URLs.

  • Try a different browser once, to rule out extensions. If it still fails after three retries, contact support.


2. Download starts but the file is corrupted or won't play

  • Try a different player — QuickTime, VLC, and modern browsers all play our output correctly.

  • Check the file size on disk. A truncated file means the download was interrupted mid-stream — delete it, then download again.

  • Still broken after re-downloading? The render may have failed silently. Contact support with the dub link.


Each download URL is valid for 1 hour. If you right-clicked to copy-link and come back the next day, that copied link will fail.

  • Click the Download button fresh in the app — it generates a new link every time.

  • Your files never expire on our side; only the temporary link does.


4. SRT generation failed

On the SRT card, if generation finishes with a "Failed" state:

  • Check that the dub is fully completed and the audio renders are intact. If the dub had audio issues, the SRT depends on the same data and may fail.

  • Click Generate again to retry.


5. Wrong file content

If you expected the Lip-Synced video but got the regular one, or the download saved in the wrong language:

  • The Download tab has separate buttons for each variant (regular video vs. lip-synced, per target language). Double-check you clicked the right one.

  • If Lip-Sync was never run on this language, the Lip-Synced Video button won't appear at all — run Lip-Sync from the Lip-Sync tab first.
