Video Processing Takes Too Long

What to do when AI video generation is slow or stuck in ACE AI Spark.

Home › Help Center › Troubleshooting › Video Processing Takes Too Long

AI video generation is resource-intensive and can take several minutes. Here's what's normal and when to take action.

5-second video

Typically 2–5 minutes

8-second video

Typically 5–10 minutes

Multi-scene video

10–30 minutes depending on complexity

Check Progress

Go to Flow and look at the progress bar on your video. If it shows a percentage, the video is still processing.

Wait It Out

Video generation involves multiple stages (scene generation, rendering, audio). Each stage takes time. Refreshing the page won't speed it up.

If Stuck Beyond Expected Time

If a video shows no progress for more than 30 minutes, it may have encountered an error. Try generating a new video with a slightly different prompt.

Warning: Do not close your browser tab while a video is processing. While the generation happens server-side, you need the tab open to receive the completion notification.
