How to Fix KineMaster Export Error
Error while exporting a video is very frustrating, especially after you spent hours editing your video. Some KineMaster users face this problem, when they try to export their video an error pops up saying “an error occurred while exporting please try again, codec init failed”. The error can appear immediately while exporting your video or after some time has passed. In this article we will tell you some solutions and you can try them to resolve your problem.

Fix: Codec Init Failed
Here are a few suggested approaches you can attempt to resolve this problem.
Clear Background Running Apps
In most cases this is the main reason why this error occurs. Any of the apps running in the background might be using your phone’s video decoder, and that’s why this error occurs. Video decoder of a phone is a hardware component or a software algorithm responsible for decoding video files. Clearing background running apps is simple. Open the app switcher, swipe away the apps you’re not using, and your phone will feel lighter and perform better.
Export video in lower resolution
Try exporting your video in lower resolution, there’s a possibility that your mobile isn’t capable of handling the export of a high-resolution video.
Restart KineMaster App
If you’re still facing the exporting issue, try restarting the kinemaster app. Maybe the problem is in the application itself. After restarting the application if there was a problem then it will be removed.
Restart Your Phone
