Microsoft Photos Fails to Save Trimmed Video

Hello,

I am attempting to use Microsoft Photos to trim some videos. I set the sliders to the portion of video I want, and I click "Save As." The video file name shows up in the folder I selected to save it in, and it starts to show an increasing file size, while
the Photos app shows a progress bar over the video. But about 20% of the way thru, it just stops. The partially-completed file disappears from the folder, and Photos goes back to the editing screen with the sliders and no progress bar. It does not give any
error message or indication that anything went wrong.

I have tried restarting my computer.

I have tried Troubleshoot, Repair, and Reset.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software.

I have checked for updates for both the Photos app and Windows.

I have checked for old registry keys.

I have changed permissions on my WindowsApp folder.

It has worked a few times, but now it will not complete saving the trimmed file.

These videos are about 45-50 minutes long, and approximately 2 Gb.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Error saving a trimmed portion of a video using Microsoft Photo

Hi Juan,

Thanks a lot for your response, but unfortunately I had already seen this post and it didn't solve my problem.

I can do the whole process without any issue, but the problem I have is when I save the trimmed video, I go to the folder where the file was saved and the file shows with 0 KBs.

Anyone else know what could be causing this error?
