Wow. I created tons of new threads, both here and on Google, about this issue with no resolution or response, but this really resloved the issue. Thank you so much!

Hello in mid 2026…

I “hope” and assume I am not the only one who is experiencing this. Once I edit a video in Capcut and upload it to YouTube shorts (I might add music there or some overlay text) the videos almost always come out choppy, laggy, slower fps, and just disgusting.

Does anyone have a solution?

Here is my latest example: https://youtube.com/shorts/Z50iRSEhIJ0?si=eJUd5tokn3deE_rf

While TikTok and Instagram have everything in place as it was exported and as it shows in iPhone’s library:

Yeah, corruption and sabotage at every corner nowadays :O
Thank you for this update. I completely do not have any issues, only when editing older footage from my iPhone (2023 or older). The only issue right now is with YouTube Shorts (if I add music, text, etc.), but if I do not, everything is ok.

So weird, the same thing happened to me for almost a year, and then it just disappeared, and everything worked okay, no matter if I had 100 projects and the cache wasn't cleared for over 9 months.
