projected edited itself while i slept.?!
I finished a project of mine in after effects 7, exported it to DVD and sent it over to the boss to double check. He decides that he wants a few easy changes to take place. (This was a day ago) So, today I open up the project and to my horror, a massive nested comp has moved itself, AND resized itself in some bizzaro way that I cannot seem to fix. The background behind the comp is brown. So there is this giant “L” shape of space that is now there because the images have resized and moved themselves up and to the right in the composition.
I say “wow that is freaky weird,” and try to resize it, BUT I CANT!!?? No matter what I do I cannot resize the image widthwise. It keeps showing that i have stretched the image, but it wont stay that way.
To make matters worse, I have effect layers that are now all over the place, and not matching up with the new resized layer.
What could have happened? Gremlins?

I should revise this.
Basically, the comp that was 100% x 100% on the scale no longer fits in the comp window, even though 6 hours ago, it fit perfect. (Note FULL quality is on)

(sorry i cant seem to edit the post)
I found out the problem. Somehow trapcode shine was altering the anchorpoint and making everything crazy.

Let this be a lesson to you. A typical AE file usually doesn’t exceed a few MB. Save a revision every morning when you open the project. If you really got effed back there, you would have lost a lot of work.
