How to recover deleted videos from Panasonic Lumix FZ2500 camera

-

Where did it go!!??

13 August 2018. Discovered footage missing.

Shot on 11 August 2018, the files are missing in the SD card.

Footage from 9 to 10 Aug is still there.

On 11 Aug, I actually used some of the footage to edit.

Now I want to edit the rest, but they are gone!

Did I delete them accidentally?

Digging the web for help, I found this...

Let's try.

Panasonic SD Card File Recovery Software


It says.

Unrestorable footage (typical example):
- Any footage (*1) deleted using "CARD FORMAT" with AVCCAM equipment.
*1: Except for footage recorded in DV mode with AG-HMC80 series , and in SDXC memory card formatted with AG-AF100 series AVCCAM camera recorder.
There are cases in which footage cannot be restored even with this software.
For proper use, please carefully read the operating instructions of the software prior to use. The Operating instructions are included with the software.
The restored card has to be repaired with "AVCCAM restorer" (provided separately) once to be available as an AVCHD compatible card. Please refer to page-8 on the operating instructions for the details and procedure.
If you use this software on the computer which is connected to the AG-AF100 series by USB cable, please update
AG-AF100 series: Ver 1.14 or higher
SD Card File Recovery : Ver 1.1 or higher

 


An Error Occurred




So, I guess this recovery software is only for AVCCAM format.

My recording is in MP4.

Recuva

System Requirements: Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista and XP. Including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, but not RT tablet editions.

So I have to use my Windows laptop.

Done it. Didn't work.

Looks like MP4 isn't in the list recovery options.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer.

Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name.
