Bwahahaahaaa

I just accidentally deleted every single copy of the new version of my LOM vid from my computer. That means all the backup versions on other drives, too. And yes, I only noticed *after* I'd also emptied the 'recycled' folders. That's German thoroughness for you.

So it's back to square one.

The good news is I still have a badly rendered sketch of the first 63 seconds, from which I'll at least be able to reconstruct most of the editing decisions I'd made. But there was some tricky timing there, so it will be difficult.

Also, looking at that sketch, I notice that the 'visual hiccup' issues I had with Windows Movie Maker also occur in Premiere, apparently. Drat. Also: ghost frames galore. *sigh*

And I still have very little idea how to actually use Premiere. Setting up a new project in it will be... interesting, to say the least.

I have a version somewhere -- one that you posted as a beta draft, I believe (I am not entirely sober right now, and not entirely clear). Let me know if you need it and I'll upload.

Thanks, but the video has been recovered -

thanks to a data recovery program. I hadn't done very much on my computer since the Great Delete, so all the project files could be restored. Plus, as a side effect I've learned which files absolutely not to delete when working with Premiere. *g*

(Also, the version you have is the old WMM version - but thanks for the offer anyway! :-))
