Fix a GoPro video that won't play.
GoPro footage that won't open is often recoverable when the footage was written and the file is a supported video format. Upload the file and we'll rebuild what we can — free preview first, pay only if it worked.

Failure-mode explanation
GoPros are built to be thrown into the action, which is exactly why their footage gets corrupted more than most. The battery pops out on a hard landing. The card fills mid-clip. The camera overheats and shuts down. In each case the GoPro captures footage but never finishes writing the file — so the small structural block a player needs to open the video is missing.
The result is familiar to anyone with a GoPro: a file that shows the right size but won't play, opens as a black screen, or throws an error. GoPro's own tools sometimes help, but they can be slow and don't let you confirm the fix before committing.
GoPros record standard MP4 with common video, which is squarely in filefix's wheelhouse. We read the captured footage, rebuild the missing structure, and produce a file that plays. You watch a free watermarked preview and see exactly how much footage came back before paying anything.
Two honest limits: if the camera cut out so early that little footage was written, there may be too little to rebuild. And a 0-byte file has nothing inside to recover. In either case, we tell you and don't charge.
