Camtasia Recording Recovery | How to Retrieve Videos with Ease

Video Loss Situation

"Here is the thing. I was using Camtasia to edit a video that was supposed to upload to YouTube. All things were perfectly done until my computer suddenly turned blue! At first, I didn't sense the problem because I rememberred the recording file was saved before the BSOD. However, when I turned on the computer, I couldn't find the video anymore. Then it's clear to me that I've lost a piece of screen recording which was saved as .camrec. Can anybody tell me how to get my video back?"
