How do I recover an iMovie video after deleting iMovie accidentally?

Hi all,


I had a file from an old iPhone on my iMovie app and then accidentally deleted the app itself. How do I recover the video?


It's not on any backup so I'll need to find it on my Mac.


Thanks

The file itself should still be on the hard drive.

If you know the name of the file try using Spotlight to find it.


Click the magnifying glass icon top right corner of your screen type in the name of the file.


Mac Basics: Spotlight helps you find what you're looking for


If you can't locate it by file name, try an iMovie format such as DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV and M4V
