The ZV-E10 is built for vlogging on a small battery, and a take that runs the battery flat — or a card pulled too early — leaves the clip unfinished: an .RSV file or an .MP4 that won't open.

The ZV-E10 and ZV-E10 II record XAVC S in the same structure as Sony's other bodies, which is what the recovery reads.
Sony writes video, audio and timing metadata in a fixed repeating pattern, and the codec settings travel inside that metadata. footage.repair walks that pattern frame by frame and writes a fresh index, so audio stays in sync even on recordings several hours long. No reference clip is needed, and nothing is re-encoded — you get back exactly what the camera recorded.
Copy the whole card to your computer first and work from the copy. Don't format the card or record over it until you've checked that the recovered file plays.
The preview is always free. During early access, full recovery is free for every file size too. If the recovered file doesn't play, email me at brian@footage.repair.
