Unable to save recorded session

Hello,

Ever since I updated the newer version I’m unable to save recording. Below is the error:

2026-10-02 21:11:29: Failed to close the screen recorder.
2026-10-02 21:11:29: Could not open recorded video: C:\Program Files\ATOMI\ActivePresenter.CachedProjects\Untitled_tempdir\video_20261002_19-19-52.mp4
2026-10-02 21:11:29: Failed to add the recorded video to the project.
2026-10-02 21:11:29: Failed to import the system-audio recording.
2026-10-02 21:11:30: Failed to close the screen recorder.

Can you help me fix.

Hi Arvind,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble you’re having.

Please try resetting ActivePresenter’s preferences:

  1. Open ActivePresenter and go to ActivePresenter > Preferences.
  2. Click Restore Defaults and confirm.
  3. Restart ActivePresenter and try to record again.

If the error still appears, please send us the ActivePresenter log file so we can investigate further: go to Preferences > Miscellaneous, click the View Log button, and send the ActivePresenter.log file to support@atomisystems.com.

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Thanh

Hi Arvind,

Thank you for your patience.

We have checked your log file. The error may be caused by the long recording time. We will work on a fix in the next version.

In the meantime, please keep each recording under 1 hour.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Thanh
