Screen recording lost due to low battery shutdown.

I was screen recording on my Mac when its battery died and it turned off. Is there a way I can recover the recording?

MacBook Pro 13″

If it was not saved and did not show itself when you booted the Mac....you can reasonably assume it is gone.


If you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on battery only.
