Lifesaver!!!! I was about to go in panic mode. I shot a wedding and only saw the pictures I took and not the videos. My videos were in the exact folder you stated! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Wow! Thank you. I thought my SD card didn't work anymore, so I just bought a new one and had the same problem. With your video I finally understand how I can easily find them. Thanks again!
This happened out of no where for me. Thank you for the video. I had been uploading our videos to my MacBook Pro for years the same way, then all of a sudden after this most recent updated this issue began to happen. Usually all the photos and videos were in the same folder. Then all of a sudden only photos were visible, but I could see and watch the videos from my camera. Thank you for the work around, I didn't want to refilm.
Oh my stars! I have a Sony Rex 5 from 2011 and I couldn't find the videos. I thought what are the odds I'll be able to find something on TH-cam and THERE YOU WERE! In 2024, helping me with a 2011 problem. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
THANK YOU!!! All of the videos I found before yours only talked about Macs not recognizing the SD card at all (which was not my problem). Your solution saved me so much time and heartache.
Ohhh myyyyyyy gooodnesssssss!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! It worked!!!!! I was freaking out this morning! Looking for hours and couldn't get my files to open. You are a life saver for sure man. Appreciate it!
@@command0z I found mine, which are .mp4 files, in a folder marked "M4ROOT." So the path was PRIVATE>M4ROOT>CLIP and my footage was in there. Hope this helps!
Hi folks! This did not work, BUT I found the solution. On Windows I right clicked on, not the folder, but the main storage of the SD card. (ex. Memory (F:) ). Properties -> Tools -> Fail check and click control. Now I did this and the files were magically appearing under PRIVATE > M4ROOT > CLIP I might have some translations wrong here, my OS is in Swedish. Hope this saves your files ❤
You are a lifesaver I have been reading articles for hours and watching useless videos. Thank you. One question, why do SD cards do this? Why can't the damn videos be with the pictures.?
hey Adam, its been a really tough day... my flight has been delayed 3 hours... I'm sitting here in the airport trying to download my footage... like wtf its not downloading and I'm having a horrible day. but then I found your video and you fixed everything. my flight is still delayed but you did me the biggest solid... like damn
Thank you for making the video. Really simple walkthrough steps. I recommend for any new mac users to buy a SD to USB-C adapter off Amazon - worked a treat.
The one time I decide not to be nosy in the “private” folder of a borrowed SD card… only to realize that’s where my videos are 😭 This helped, thankyou!!
Thank you so much! Clear and straight to the point. Does anybody know if I can put this folder next to the photo folder? In order not to do this procedure every time? thank you :) and thank you again for this lifesaver explanation
Do you have a recommendation to find the video files on your iPhone? when I connect the SD to Lightning adapter (iPhone 12 pro) I can see all the photos just not the videos. Thoughts? Thanks
Omg!!!!!!! What a blessing you are!!!!!!! Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. I was losing my mind. I have Sony ZV E 10 with a Sigma 16 mm lens and a Peter McKinnon VnD filter. I thought it was a pretty nice setup. I don't know what I'm doing I'm a complete novice. I have a channel and I'm trying to make it look like the movies or something or like all these fancy people. Lol. I feel something and then I can't find it oh my God. This was a very short video you did but I'm sure you helped so many many people. 🎉
Thank you so much! My friend changed a setting on my camera and switched it to AVCHD instead of MP4 and I was struggling to figure out where these files were.
Hello Adam, unfortunately it doesn't work in my case. I have a Sony Alpha 7 III and I work with a MacBook Pro. Do you have other possible solutions? Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much for your video, i almost format my SD card out of anger. After a long day shoot, spending my energy and sweat, i was so frustrated for not being able to find my video in my sd card
Be sure you can view those videos with the camera you took them with, in playback. If not, they could be gone, or you'll need to find another tutorial to help recover them. Mine I could only play back with the camera. This helped me find them with my laptop.
thanks! forgot how to do it - so watched twice over a 3 week period! glad i could re watch and find thevideo again - why does the videos save this way now/is here a way to get the back to the main section and to record in mp4
hello! when i open the final folder which contain the MTS files, but I can't seem to play them, they just seem like an empty file. I import my sd card to my phone, do you have any solutions to this?

Lifesaver. I thought my day of filming today had been a complete waste of time. Subscribed sir!
Thank you! My "missing" videos weren't in exactly this spot, but thanks to your video, I was able to find them.
Where did you find your missing footage? I am dealing with the same issue.

Thank Sony for this brilliant idea... However, I guess that this is a way to compress videos (and thus save space)

I’m experiencing the same problem. I followed the steps but then the Stream folder is empty. What to do? Pls help
Same with me, I really need these vids to make edits!

Saved the day!! THANK YOU
This helped me!! Thank you!
You are a GENIUS THANK YOU ☺️
mine was under a separate weird folder called "CLIP" but i found them! thank you! thought i was crazy!
Great short explanation, but i think this is only required on MacOS. On Windows the AVCHD folder is just accessable like an normal folder.
Accessible folders on PC, but still hidden down that chain he showed. I never would have found them!
Thank you for getting straight to it! it worked!
thank you! I was clicking on everything to try to find them lil videos D:
Perfect! Saved the day!
Thank you so helpful!!!
Brilliant! you are a legend!!!!
Is there anyway I can change this to start showing regular? I am trying to download on my phone and can’t find them
Thank you! this was a lifesaver.
thank you adam,, really helpful.
You literally just made my dayyyyy! I literally was gonna have a whole meltdown because I thought my footage was lost😭💕🫶🏾
