AE CS4 lost compositions…
an artist was working on a project in CS4, claims to have saved everything…opened the project the next morning…the compositions he was working on disappeared from the project.
1) has this happened to anyone else?
2) is there anyway to recover the lost work? (does AE save backups of projects like FCP or AVID?)Mac OSX Leopard

> does AE save backups of projects
Yes, if you have auto-save turned on.
Also, have you updated past After Effects 9.0.0 yet? After Effects 9.0.1 fixed a bug that prevented some information from being saved. It’s really important that people update to take advantage of the bug fixes that have been released for After Effects CS4.

Hey,
I was having a similar problem with AE CS4 in regards to auto-saving… It seemed that the problem was that when I was clicking Ctrl+S it was saving into the last Auto-Save file as opposed to the original AEP. When I opened up my original project the next day (which I thought I had saved), I was missing work because it wasn’t the most recent project file. Can’t remember CS3 ever having this problem… unless it’s a problem with my auto-save prefs. Any ideas?

Yes. Update. In my previous post on this thread I said that the updates fixed a bug in saving projects. This is the bug that I was talking about.
