In this guide, we will make you aware of the directory wherein the QuickTime Player stores its unsaved videos. This built-in multimedia software in the Apple ecosystem is without a shadow of a doubt among the best in the business. Whether it’s for screen, movie, or audio recording, it carries out all these tasks with ease.
Likewise, it even gives you the option to export your file in 4K. And recently, I was busy doing just that but for some reason, it wasn’t able to get the job done. So after waiting for eternity, I finally decided to stop the processing and retry with the steps. However, this resulted in the file being missing from its intended location.
Since the video was still unprocessed, it wasn’t present in the location where all the other saved recordings are stored. So I did further digging and eventually managed to get hold of the directory where the QuickTime Player stores its unsaved videos. And in this guide, we will make you aware of just that. Follow along.
