After exporting a video in CapCut, some users notice that the file does not appear in their gallery or media library. This issue usually happens when the video is saved successfully, but the device cannot immediately detect or display the file. The problem can be caused by storage permissions, gallery refresh delays, or incorrect save locations. Below are common reasons and solutions for different platforms.
