Queue & Generation
Once you hit the generate button, VidRush takes over. Your video enters a cloud-based processing queue where the AI writes the script, generates narration, sources visuals, applies your theme, and assembles everything into a finished video.
What to expect
Processing time: Most videos complete within 60 minutes. During peak usage periods, when many creators are generating at the same time, processing can take up to 5 hours. In rare cases with very high demand, it may take as long as 7–8 hours.
You can close your browser. Generation runs entirely in the cloud. Close the tab, shut down your computer, go do something else. Your video will be waiting in Projects when it’s done.
Checking your video’s status
Open the Projects section in the left sidebar to see all your videos. Each project shows its current state:
- Queued - Waiting to start processing. Normal during busy periods.
- Processing - Actively being generated.
- Editing - Complete and waiting for you in the editor.
- Failed - Something went wrong. Check the error message and try again, or contact support through the Crisp chat widget with your Video ID.
If your video seems stuck
Occasionally a video may appear stuck in “Queued” or “Processing” for longer than expected. Before reaching out to support:
- Refresh the page. The status display sometimes lags behind actual progress.
- Allow up to 5 hours during peak periods before assuming something is wrong. Delays in this range are expected when demand is high.
- If the video still hasn’t completed after 8 hours, open a support ticket through the Crisp chat widget and include your Video ID.

Credits and generation
Credits are deducted when the video completes, not when it enters the queue. If a generation fails due to a system error, you won’t be charged. See Credits & Billing for how deductions work.
