What happens when a TrimProof export fails or is cancelled
Learn how TrimProof protects the source, withholds unverified output, cleans partial work, and reports recovery details.
Direct answer
A failed or cancelled export is not delivered. TrimProof leaves the source untouched, keeps incomplete work away from the final path, removes its partial output when possible, and reports local recovery guidance without uploading the media.
When this guide applies
- A cancelled export may have written some data.
- Verification failed after writing.
- The source, destination, permission, or free-space state changed.
Step-by-step review
Check for delivered status
Only explicit successful delivery means the final path passed verification.
Read the failure phase
Use preflight, planning, writing, verification, delivery, or cancellation context.
Check source and destination
Confirm an unchanged source and a new writable destination with enough space.
Keep diagnostics local
Review the structured local record without sharing the source video.
Correct and retry
Reopen the source when needed, review the safe range, and use a fresh destination.
How macOS works here
Partial output is not a result
Work-in-progress uses a hidden name and is never promoted after cancellation or failed verification.
Rollback is identity-bound
Cleanup targets the partial artifact created by the current run.
Failure details remain local
The documented boundary has no media upload, analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party crash SDK.
Risks and actions to avoid
Do not use incomplete output
Only the verified final destination is intended for use.
Do not overwrite around a collision
Choose a new destination while diagnosing.
Review before retrying
If the source changed, reopen it and recalculate the safe range.
What the Omuuz product can—and cannot—do
What it can do
TrimProof can cancel active work, withhold failed output, clean its own partial artifact, preserve the source, and record local diagnostics.
What it cannot do
It cannot recover a deleted source, repair unsupported media, guarantee cleanup after external filesystem failure, or send diagnostics automatically.
