How to repair a corrupted video file that will not play

Video File Repair is for clips that will not play or that abort mid-file. Copy the original, import, pick Auto / Quick / Deep / Smart, optionally attach a healthy same-camera file, then Start Diagnosis. This is not AI Video Quality Repair. Download keeps the job on disk.

• The player errors out, or the timeline dies halfway
• The container looks intact but the index is gone
• You still have a copy you can import — this is not disk forensics

• Recover a formatted drive or a zero-byte file
• Invent frames that were never written
• Replace quality repair, denoise, or upscale once the file already plays

1. Copy the damaged file. Never overwrite the only original.
2. Import it, start with Auto, attach a reference if you have one
3. If it plays, enhance next. If not, try Deep/Smart or keep the copy for another tool
