CapCut PC Bug: Text layers visible in preview but missing on final export / upload?
​
Hey everyone, I’m running into an incredibly frustrating bug on CapCut PC and absolutely nothing is working to fix it.
I’m editing a ranking video, and at the very beginning of my first clip, I have separate text blocks for the numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) using a CapCut library font.
The Problem:
When I first open the project, those text blocks are completely missing from the preview window. After letting it sit for a bit or messing around with the timeline, they finally "wake up" and show up perfectly in the preview. However, when I export the video and upload it, those exact texts completely disappear from the final file. Other texts later in the video using the exact same font render perfectly fine.
What I’ve already tried (none of it worked):
Turning off hardware encoding and decoding in Performance settings.
Clearing CapCut’s local cache files.
Putting all the text blocks into a Compound Clip.
Modifying the export codec (tried H.264, MP4, changing bitrates).
The text box layers are not hidden, and there are no overlapping frames.
It seems like the background rendering engine is skipping these specific layers at the 0:00 mark before the font fully loads into the RAM, but forcing a compound clip didn't even bake it in.
Has anyone dealt with this specific font-loading / export glitch on PC? Any actual fixes that don't involve completely breaking my project workflow or changing my fonts? Thanks.
