Lesson learned: Backup as you go.
My hard drive fell on the ground two days ago, and I started to get a bunch of after effects error messsages that *basically* meant that the file they were trying to read was bad. So now I'm copying that stuff from the potentially damaged drive to Boris, and making notes of the oensthat windows can't access. Hopefully I didn't actually lose anything, it doesn't seem to be consistant about which files were damaged. The bad thing is that its' going to take another forty five minutes (which means an hour and a half, likely) to copy these files over.
Also, flipbook doesn't seem to give you the option of *naming* the frames you're exporting. So while everything else is named with names that describe which scene, character, and stage of the process it is, there's nothing on the flipbook exports. :/
This really, really sucks.
I think I'm going to find the study guide online, and try to do some of the stuff there. D:
Edit: Screw it, I'm going to school, and this can copy while I try to study for a couple of hours. I'm going to fail this test. *sigh*
I finished compositing last night, but I couldn't export it because of the bad files (I think) so... I hope to tweak a few things in the camera move department, shave some time off here, give it there, adjust the colours of the background trees so they give a little depth, uhmmm...
(sweet, now it says 5 hours.)
I'm going to go and grab some food. Why did my hard drive have toget all buggy now??
