This is Reason #1 that you NEVER ever ever take down a video on YouTube, no matter the issue (unless it's a legal problem). Always just private it while you prepare the alt copy! Preservation starts with continuity.

I KNEW IT. I totally thought I had hallucinated that video because I could never find it again. Sorry you lost the project files, as a digital artist I know the pain all too well.

I still remember watching it; it was a really interesting video. It's not much, but it'll still exist in the memory of those who saw it.

Idk if you're famous enough to have a YouTube rep, but they can recover videos from their backups if you're important enough. Also, I MIGHT have a copy. I sometimes download the channels of people I like enough to support. I just checked my server and it's not on there, but I've got a few external hard drives with archived content I still can search. Don't get your hopes up though.

Wow. That sucks... Im so sorry that happened. Losing that much work would break me. Although now im a little curious, is there anything left over? Like the script or anything?

Ouch, I can only imagine what that must feel like. I've lost work but nothing extensive.

Rip, just found your channel. Looking forward to what you put out going forward, you’ll blow up if you could upload more. Still, great stuff. Keep it up!

Is the problem that don't even have a copy of the finished video with the audio issue, or that you only have that but not the separate audio tracks? If it's the latter, there are some great programs like Ultimate Vocal Remover (free) and DaVinci Resolve’s Voice Isolation/Music Remixer FX (paid version only) which might be able to de-mix the audio enough to let you make the repair.

Paper Will
Like 4 years ago I released an hour-long video called "VR Romance Games", had to take it down for an audio issue, and then realized I'd lost the project files.
I think about that video, I'd estimate, 3-4 times a week.
PSA: Back up your stuff, y'all.
