Unsaved screen recording

Hi! So one of my screen recordings didn't save properly when I clicked Stop, it didn't appear on the desktop. Do you know how to recover it? I am using QuickTime. I searched in the Autosave location and tried to restart my Mac and also used StellarDataRecovery but not deep scan but didn't find it. Any ideas?

Hi ladybug119,


We'll be glad to provide some information. If the screen recording wasn't saved, there isn't a way to recover it. We'd recommend double checking your ending the recording properly as outlined in How to record the screen on your Mac - Apple Support for future reference.


  1. "To stop recording, click the Stop button  in the menu bar, or press Command-Control-Esc (Escape)."


Cheers.
