How do I recover deleted videos from an SD card on Mac?

I was importing all the videos from the SD card of my camera to Final Cut. My friend said he wanted the SD card, so he unplugged it without waiting for the videos to upload completely. He also deleted all the videos from the SD card. How can I recover the videos that didn't get transferred to Final Cut?

To recover deleted videos from the SD card on Mac, you'll need a tool like iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac.

 Warning: To reduce the chance of your videos becoming unrecoverable, you should avoid saving data to the SD card immediately. If new data has overwritten the videos you want to restore, it's unlikely you can get them back.

This SD card recovery software can retrieve deleted videos of various formats, such as AVI, FLA, FLV, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, WMV, AMV, ANM, ASF, ASX, AVS, F4V, HDMOV, MOI, MPV2, and more. It supports restoring data from SD cards of any brand like SanDisk, Transcend, Toshiba, Kingston, Lexar, PNY, SP, etc.

Up until now, iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac is fully compatible with all macOS versions from Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan to macOS 14 Sonoma running on Intel-based, T2, M1, and M2 Macs. This data recovery tool is designed with usability in mind. It's easy to use and provides multiple filters to help you find the files you want to restore easily.
