Hi there! So whenever i film videos on photobooth, i feel like im playing roulette with whether or not they'll corrupt. I can't tell if they're going to turn out with a grey screen or be completely fine until i finish recording. It just happens randomly. This is what it looks like:
Please help! i have some really important videos and i dont know how to get them back.

If the videos you made are corrupt, I don't think you can get them back - but try this:
Go to your Pictures folder, and locate the "Photo Booth Library".
Control-click, and choose "Show Package Contents".
Inside, you will see a folder named "Pictures" that will have your pictures and videos made with Photo Booth.
COPY (don't move) the files elsewhere on your drive, and see if they open.
For the future, I can give you a simple advice: instead of PhotoBooth, which is unreliable, record using Quicktime Player. I think that PhotoBooth is just languishing there. At some point in time, the novelty wore out, and it is not really of much use today.
