If the “AI Edit“ button is greyed out or the processing fails halfway through, it is usually due to the clip’s length, a browser conflict, an account limit, or a file issue. Please follow these troubleshooting steps in order.
1. Check Browser Compatibility (Most Common) #
On the web, AI Edit runs inside your browser, so an outdated or restricted browser stops the AI from running. On a phone, use the Eklipse app instead of a mobile browser — tap Create, then AI Edit. See How to upload a video to AI Edit.
- Supported Browsers: On desktop or laptop, we strongly recommend Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Mobile browsers have limitations, so on a phone the app is the better route.
- Hardware Acceleration: Ensure “Hardware Acceleration” is turned ON in your browser settings.
- Extensions: Ad-blockers or heavy privacy extensions (like Ghostery) can block the AI editor. Try disabling them or using Incognito Mode.
2. The “Greyed Out” Button: Account & File Issues #
If you cannot click the button at all, check the following:
- Clip Length (Check This First): AI Edit works on clips between 15 seconds and 3 minutes. A clip shorter or longer than that leaves the button greyed out, or the automatic edits get skipped. Trim or extend the clip into that range and try again.
- Export Cooldown: Without Premium, there is a short cooldown after each AI Edit export before you can generate the next one. Premium removes it and allows up to 3 AI Edit clips every 5 minutes.
- Incompatible File:
- Format: Must be MP4.
- Size: Must be under 1GB for manual uploads.
- Type: The AI works best on raw gameplay. Uploading highly edited montages may confuse the AI detection.
- Source VOD Removed: If you are trying to edit a clip from a stream, ensure the original VOD is still public on Twitch/YouTube. If the VOD was deleted or sub-locked, Eklipse cannot access it.
3. Processing Errors (Stuck or Failed) #
If the process starts but freezes or fails:
- Connection Timeout: A momentary dip in internet speed can kill the upload. Ensure a stable connection.
- The “10-Minute” Rule: If processing takes longer than 10 minutes, the session has likely timed out. Refresh the page and try again.
- Internal Error: Rarely, our servers might be busy. Wait 5 minutes and try again.
