Repair All GoPro Video Corruption Scenarios

From sudden shutdowns to SD card errors, Repairit covers every major cause of GoPro video corruption and helps you repair your footage with ease.

Power Loss During Recording

SD Card Errors

Interrupted or Failed Recordings

Split or Fragmented Videos

Corrupted Metadata or File Headers

Damage After Extreme Conditions

Power Loss During Recording

SD Card Errors

Interrupted or Failed Recordings

Power Loss During Recording

Sudden power-off, low battery, or abrupt shutdown while recording can lead to incomplete or unplayable MP4/MOV files.

SD Card Errors

Using a memory card without proper formatting or across multiple devices can cause file system corruption and make your videos unreadable.

Interrupted or Failed Recordings

Shooting with a full or slow-speed SD card can cause the GoPro to stop recording midway, resulting in broken or corrupted files.

Split or Fragmented Videos

Long recordings are often divided into multiple clips, and improper merging or damage to any segment can break playback.

Corrupted Metadata or File Headers

If the GoPro crashes during save or write, the video’s internal structure (like timecode, codec info) may get corrupted, making it unrecognizable to media players.

Damage After Extreme Conditions

Shooting in rain, snow, underwater, or with physical shock (like a crash or fall) can disrupt the writing process and damage the video file.

Tips to Boost Your GoPro Video Repair Success Rate

Choose GoPro-Specific Tool

Tools like Repairit that understand GoPro formats and gyro data offer a much higher success rate than general purpose repair tools.

Avoid Sudden Interruptions

Sudden shutdowns like removing the battery or SD card while recording are a common cause of corruption. Let the camera finish saving before powering off.

Use Quality Reader

Low-quality or unstable USB readers can cause file transfer errors. Use a trusted reader to avoid further damage when copying files.

Stop Recording Immediately

If a video gets corrupted, don't record anything else—new data might overwrite the damaged file and make recovery impossible.

Copy Files First

Always duplicate your corrupted videos to your computer first. This keeps the original intact in case something goes wrong during repair.

Check File Size

If the video file seems unusually small, it might not contain enough data to recover. Larger, partially recorded files usually have a better chance.

Real GoPro Video Repair Stories

Don Catalano

It Works!
I had a really corrupted GoPro file that VLC could not fix. This fixed it right away. I had to used the Advanced option and show it a sample file (another GoPro mp4 that I knew was good) and a few minutes later I had the fixed video file. Lifesaver. Also important - You can pay for it once instead of a subscription model. Other vendors should do the same.

Repaired GoPro Time-lapse Footage with Surprising Ease. We had a power failure with our gopro (time-lapse video). Repairing the video was incredibly easy. All Repairit needed was a sample of a properly wrapped video from the gorpo and it was able to repair the video without any quality or footage loss.

Jakub Čáp

Worked perfectly on small-sized GoPro files! I had a few corrupted GoPro clips, and to my surprise, the tool handled files under 100MB flawlessly. One of them was super important, and it got fixed in seconds. I later tried a larger 1GB+ file with similar settings — a bit more tricky, but I understand heavy files can be complex. Still, for quick fixes and smaller clips, this tool delivered exactly what I needed. Strange, but true — it saved my day!

Answers to Questions About GoPro Video Repair

1 What specific types of damage to GoPro videos caused by unexpected issues can Repairit fix?

Repairit can repair various common damage scenarios to GoPro videos such as failure to play, failure to import, corrupted visuals, or no audio caused by interrupted recording, battery depletion, memory card removal, or sudden system errors. It also has a high success rate in fixing files that show errors like "file corrupted" or "unrecognizable."

2 After repairing GoPro videos, can metadata (such as shooting time and GPS information) be preserved?

Repairit strives to preserve the original metadata including shooting time, resolution, frame rate, and more while repairing the video content. However, for severely damaged files, some metadata may not be fully recoverable. It is recommended to back up important files in advance.

3 Does Repairit support repairing GoPro videos shot with special parameters (such as high frame rate slow motion or HDR)?

Repairit supports mainstream shooting parameters used by GoPro, including various resolutions, frame rates, and encoding modes such as high frame rate slow motion and HDR. For rare or custom configurations, users are advised to try the free repair option first and contact technical support if compatibility issues arise.

4 When using Repairit’s “Advanced Repair” function that requires a reference file, what kind of GoPro video should be selected as the reference?

It is recommended to select a complete and normal video recorded with the same GoPro model, resolution, frame rate, and encoding mode (e.g., 4K 60fps HEVC) as the damaged video. This helps improve the accuracy and final quality of the advanced repair.
