Try another fileGood news — your file isn't damaged. No charge.
There's nothing to repair. If it still looks broken, the issue may be the player, codec, or viewer on your device rather than the file itself.
We couldn't recover this one.
The file is too damaged to rebuild, so there is nothing to preview and no charge.
Have another clip from the same device?
A healthy video recorded on the same device — ideally the same settings — gives the repair engine a template to rebuild from. It can unlock repairs that fail on their own.
Unrepaired files are kept encrypted for up to 30 days, then deleted.
FileFix can't fix that kind of file yet.

Why MOV files stop opening
MOV is Apple's QuickTime video format — it's what iPhones, Macs, and many pro cameras record. MOV and MP4 are close cousins; they store footage the same way and share the same weak point. Each file keeps a small block of structural information that tells a player where the footage is and how long it runs. If that block is damaged or was never written — usually because a recording or transfer was interrupted — the file stops opening, even though the footage inside is often perfectly intact.
QuickTime, Photos, or your editor throws an error or shows a black screen, and it looks like the video is gone. Usually it isn't. FileFix reads the footage that's present, rebuilds the structural information, and produces a playable MP4. You see a free watermarked preview and the exact recovered length before deciding to pay.
As with any repair, we can't rebuild footage that was never captured. A genuinely empty file has nothing to work with, and we tell you that rather than charging you.
