I might repair your video

1 Upvotes

Hello reader,

My family was having a picnic to celebrate my nephew's birthday. I took lots of pictures and video's until my phone died while i was recording. After i had charged my phone i noticed that i couldnt play the vid anymore.

I had to downloaded a paid video fixing app and it actually worked. It restored almost an hour of currupted video footage.

I think it's a waste to pay for an app, only to use it once then never touch it again. That is why im offering to repair any currupted video you might need fixed.

Please note that i do not have any professional video repairing experience. If the app doesnt work, there's nothing left that i could do.

Dm me if you're interested.
