Repair corrupted or unplayable videos 05:14 Wrap up 🗑️ Step 1: Check Trash or Recycle Bin Before you use any recovery tools, try this: On Mac: Deleted SD card files often end up in the Trash. Reconnect the SD card and check the Trash folder. On Windows: Files usually don’t show up in the Recycle Bin after deletion from external storage. Skip ahead to recovery software if nothing appears. This method lets you recover videos from your SD card without software if the files are still there. 🛠 Step 2: Recover Deleted Videos from an SD Card with Disk Drill If the Trash or Recycle Bin comes up empty, it’s time to use Disk Drill, a professional-grade data recovery tool built to handle the specific way cameras write video files to SD cards. 🔹 Why most recovery tools fail: Cameras like GoPro, DJI, Canon, Insta360, and even Tesla dashcams record videos in fragmented file structures. Traditional recovery software might recover the file name or header but not the correct order of data blocks — leading to corrupted or unplayable videos. 🔹 What sets Disk Drill apart: Disk Drill includes a unique feature called Advanced Camera Recovery (ACR), which intelligently reconstructs fragmented video footage by analyzing the internal recording structure of over 150+ camera models. This feature isn’t just a generic scan — it’s tailor-made to recognize how action cameras and drones save files. 📌 Follow these steps to recover video files from any SD card: 1. Download and install the latest version of Disk Drill for your operating system (macOS or Windows). https://www.cleverfiles.com/download.... On macOS, drag Disk Drill to your Applications folder and grant it Full Disk Access in System Settings → Privacy & Security. On Windows, run the installer and launch the program with administrator privileges for full drive access. 2. Connect your SD card directly to your computer using a built-in card reader or a reliable USB SD card adapter. 3. Open Disk Drill. On the main screen, you’ll see a list of all detected drives and devices. Find your SD card in the list. It may appear as a generic removable drive or with its specific brand/model name. 4. Stay on the main tab, click "Search for lost data" and opt for Universal scan, if you are dealing with a corrupted memory card. 5. From the left-hand sidebar, choose “Advanced Camera Recovery” if you need to recover deleted videos or a formatted SD card. Select camera model if applicable, and click the "Search for lost data" button. 6. Once the scan is complete, click on the “Videos” category in the results pane to filter out all non-video files. 7. Check the boxes next to the video files you want to restore. Click the “Recover” button in the bottom right corner to proceed. 8. When prompted, select a different destination drive for saving your recovered files. Do not save back to the same SD card. 🔧 Step 3: Repair Corrupted or Unplayable Videos Recovered videos not playing?
