Why you preview before you pay
Broken videos are unpredictable. One MOV or MP4 may recover cleanly, another may only recover part of the footage, and another may have no usable media left. That is why Rescue My Video starts with a watermarked preview. You see your own repaired video first, then decide whether the clean export is worth $20.
The watermark keeps the trial fair. You can scrub the beginning, middle, and end, listen for audio sync, and check any damaged sections before purchase. If the preview does not save what matters, stop there.

What the $20 license includes
The license is lifetime ownership, not a subscription. It unlocks clean export after a successful preview and gives you the guided Mac repair workflow: automatic repair first, sample-assisted repair when needed, local processing, clear warnings, and simple export.
Rescue My Video is honest about limits. It can rebuild files where recoverable media data still exists, but it cannot recreate footage that was never recorded, overwritten, encrypted, replaced by a cloud placeholder, or removed from the file. Preview makes that clear before you pay.

Why one price works better
You probably have one file, one stressful problem, and one clear question: can this recording be saved? Subscription plans, repair credits, usage tiers, and surprise export fees get in the way. The $20 lifetime price keeps the decision simple: preview free, pay once, export clean.
Upload repair sites can get expensive for large or private files. Repair shops can help with severe storage damage, but they usually cost more and require handing over the footage. Rescue My Video is for the recoverable middle: real video data, local reconstruction, preview first, simple unlock.

What to check before clicking buy
Before purchasing, open the preview and inspect it as if it were the final export. Check the opening seconds because many failed recordings have damaged headers near the start. Scrub the middle because timing problems often appear after several minutes. Watch the ending because files interrupted during finalization can have rough sections near the stop point. Listen to speech or distinct sounds to confirm audio sync. If the repaired preview contains the moment you care about, unlock the clean export.
If the preview is close but not good enough, try the advanced healthy sample workflow before buying. A short matching sample from the same camera, phone, Photo Booth setup, dashcam, drone, or screen recording app may improve reconstruction when the damaged file lacks enough structure. The app explains what to choose in plain language.
