Failed to Load the File Since It's Corrupted Insta360? How to Fix

Why Does Insta360 Say 'Failed to Load the File Since It's Corrupted'

This is a common error when you are trying to open your Insta360 video clips in the Insta360 Studio app on your Windows or Mac computer.

What causes this file to be unable to open on your Insta360? Check the following reasons:

• Insta360 video recording interruption. When an Insta360 camera shuts down without warning during recording, maybe because the power died or heat built up too much, files might stay incomplete. Running out of space on the memory card causes similar issues. Because of this, the software won't open those clips properly.
• Low-speed or low-quality memory card. Heavy usage without regular cleanups can cause corrupted sections on the card, and using low-quality memory cards might quietly ruin your Insta360 footage over time.
• Unsupported or outdated software. Older versions of Insta360 Studio might show this message. The issue appears sometimes when the video is actually fine. Compatibility gaps often cause confusion like this.
• Storage or file system issues. Insta360 video clips might fail to load if saved on a drive that has glitches or uses an unsupported file system.

Let's start with some basic check tips to quickly resolve the Insta360 photo or video won't load problem.

Basic Checks to Fix Failed to Load the File Since It's Corrupted Insta360

Start with the basics before trying complex fixes. Often, videos from an Insta360 camera won't open due to minor errors during transfer or playback. Fixing how you bring the file into your device might solve the problem right away.

1️⃣Bring Video Back into Insta360 Studio

It might not be the file itself - just how it got into the program. Start fresh by deleting the clip in Insta360 Studio and closing everything.

2️⃣Copy Photos & Videos to Local Drive Before Use

Starting from an SD card might lead to glitches when reading data. Moving every Insta360 photo and video onto local storage is the first thing.

3️⃣Use a Different Media Player or Editor

Try opening the clip in something different - VLC, maybe, or an editing suite. Also, make sure the Insta360 Studio is updated to the latest version.
