AI-powered data recovery and 4K/8K video restoration tool.
Recover Corrupted 8K Drone Footage
This workflow is for drone pilots, production teams, and inspectors when an SD card is formatted, clips disappear, or 8K footage becomes unreadable. Effective video recovery must preserve the source media, locate fragmented files, and rebuild playable clips.
Start by stopping use of the card, connect it through a reliable reader, scan it from a separate computer, then save recovered footage to another drive. A good outcome restores complete, playable clips without overwriting data needed for another attempt.

More about validating restored clips
A successful scan is not the finish line. Validate each restored clip before reusing or formatting the card, especially when footage supports paid work, inspections, or evidence.
- Save recovered files to a different physical drive, never the source SD card.
- Test playback near the start, middle, and end at native 8K resolution.
- Check duration, frame continuity, audio sync, and metadata against flight logs or proxies.
