Stellar Repair for Video is intended to fix some of the problems commonly found in video files. In this respect, the tool can repair issues with frames, video sliders, sound and graphical movement.
The program’s interface makes it easy to use by any kind of user, thanks to its wizard-style and on-screen instructions. Thus, you are taken through a series of simple steps, such as picking the files, repairing possible issues, previewing the fixed videos and saving them to a new file. Luckily, processing multiple files as a single operation is supported; however, it is a pity that drag-and-drop operations are not.
Good news is that the repair process is carried out without your intervention: all you have to do is wait. In this regard, the tool can fix various issues, such as flickering, shuttering, choppy and blurry videos. Similarly, it repairs defective soundtracks. It works well with various definitions, up to 4K. While repairing is happening, you can simply pause the processing and resume it later. Unfortunately, there are times when the progress bar seems stuck. Finally, once the video is fixed, you can preview it. Then, if you are satisfied with the results, you can save it to a new file, without modifying the source.
All in all, Stellar Video Repair does a great job repairing corrupted video files; no wonder it is generally acknowledged as the best tool of its kind. Luckily, there is a trial version, which has the only limitation of not allowing you to save the repaired file. The product is available from the developer’s site in various licenses: Standard, Premium and Technician.
