Hi,
So I started recording an important PhotoBooth video but I wanted the screen off so I turned the brightness all the way down. Then when I was done recording after about an hour and a half, I pressed brightness up but it didn't seemed maybe the screen had gone to sleep, so I did what I usually do which is to just press a button to wake the screen up that I think is not an important button. But I was dumb and pressed the 'down' button. So the down button I guess automatically starts playing the first video in the library of videos.
This is probably a convenient keyboard shortcut if you know it's a keyboard shortcut and press it on purpose, but in this case, it erased the video I had been recording and started playing the first video in my library.

So could someone explain why in this scenario PhotoBooth doesn't save the video first before going to the first video when I press down? I know I should have been more careful but I wasn't.

Thanks.
