How to Repair Multiple Damaged Videos and Photos in One Batch
If dozens or hundreds of videos and photos may be damaged, do not repair everything blindly. First identify which files actually fail to open, preview, or play, then batch the damaged items by media type. This avoids wasting time processing healthy files and makes it easier to verify the results consistently.
An identify and repair corrupted photos and videos in a large library from Reddit discussion shows the practical problem: once a library contains thousands of media files, checking each item manually becomes the bottleneck.
Separate the Files Before Batch Repair
Group Files by What Is Actually Wrong
- Healthy files: files that open or play normally do not need repair.
- Damaged videos: group clips that freeze, stop, show black frames, or refuse to play.
- Damaged photos: group images that will not open, show gray blocks, distortion, or incomplete data.
- Missing files: if the file itself is gone, use a data-recovery workflow rather than file repair.

- Step 1
Add the damaged files in groups. Load multiple videos into Video Repair or multiple images into Photo Repair.

Batch processing saves time, but it does not remove the need to verify important files. A completed batch can still contain items that were too incomplete or severely damaged to restore fully.
