Repair Many Videos at Once: the Batch Workbench

One broken video is bad enough. A folder of them — from a card that started failing, or a shoot that got corrupted on export — is a whole different problem.

That’s what the batch workbench is for.

Add a whole batch

On the home screen, drag in as many files as you like — or select several in the file dialog. Every file lands in the same list, each with its name, size, status and format.

Need to add more later? Use Add More in the bottom bar; the new files join the queue without disturbing the ones already there.

Repair them as a queue

Press Repair. BeeBackX processes the files one after another, updating each file’s status as it goes. You don’t have to keep watching — the window is background-friendly, so you can work on something else and check back.

While a batch is running you can stop it at any time with Stop. Finished files stay in the list; files that didn’t run keep their “to repair” status.

Two tabs, two views

The list has two tabs at the top:

• Unrepaired (N) — files still waiting
• Repaired results — everything that came back successfully

Each repaired file keeps its full metadata row, so you can tell at a glance which jobs went through.

Save everything with one click

The workflow ends with Save All. Pick a destination folder and BeeBackX exports every repaired result there in one go — no clicking through each file.

You can also delete selectively: Delete All clears the whole list, or remove single files with the trash button on each row.

A few habits that save time

• Repair in batches the same day you notice the problem, before anything else writes to that card.
• Save to a different drive than the originals — two copies are the point.
• Review a preview of one file early in the batch; if it looks right, the rest usually will too.

Batch mode turns “a weekend of panic” into “start the queue, make coffee, come back done.”
