I just switched back to 10 because of all the bugs 11 has. I’ll still keep it and try it out with the latest update, but it was way too buggy for me and a lot of other people to use.

Ugh, I see. Yes, it is an eSata drive. How regretful. I’ll just have to be mindful of that in the future. Thanks for all the information.

Ugh, it’s been a (relatively minor) nightmare. Luckily-LUCKILY-I still had most of the footage that I lost either still on my cameras or backed up on another hard drive. Getting $150, 2 TB hard drives is pretty expensive for me, but I went ahead and got one today to use as a back up, along with the advice of the forum to get Cobian backup software, and an external enclosure so the hard drive can run via USB 3.0.

But I already spent $350 getting a previously crashed hard drive restored, only to not get back the two projects from there that I wanted. I’m going to get this one recovered for probably the same price. The extra time to back everything up, along with the price of new hard drives, isn’t going to be easy for me, since I’m still not making enough to pay for it all, but it’s worth it.

And I just realized that I should get the data recovery software anyways-I have another project that likely is recoverable, the last one that I shot, that I need to get.

I have another question about this whole issue since it’s happened twice now. Before both hard drives crashed, I think I must have removed them improperly-I started getting “Recycle bin is corrupted” errors, along with my computer seeing a different name for the hard drives. I have a few hard drives I use in this enclosure, and sometimes will switch them out to work on other projects. 99% of the time this hasn’t been a problem, but I noticed these crashes happen right after I could tell something was wrong after I switched out hard drives while my computer was running.

I turn the enclosure off first each time, take out the hard drive, put the new one in, turn it on, and enable it. But when I turned off the enclosure yesterday before turning my computer off, my computer took a long time to shut down, like a minute or so. I figured that turning off the hard drive must have caused some driver to be loaded that caused shutting down to take longer. And sure enough, next time I tried to use it, I couldn’t access anything, the recycle bin was corrupted and giving me prompts to delete it, I started my computer, and it deleted everything upon start up. I don’t know of an option like with my camera or a USB stick to safely remove the hard drive-I just turn it off and swap them out.

Should I just turn off my computer and then the enclosure each time I switch hard drives?

Thanks. I’m trying Paragon and Cobius to see which I prefer. But I installed Paragon, and…I can’t find the program anywhere on my computer. Cobian is working well so far, but I just wonder if I’ll need more hard drives and a new configuration to do this relatively conveniently.

Dave, the thing about the solutions you mention is that 32 GB isn’t nearly big enough for some of my projects, and I want to backup my projects right away and not when they’re completed.

Edit: Ok, I got Cobian Backup working. So, now the question is, since I only have one hard drive connected in an external enclosure at a time, instead of backing everything up to my computer’s data drive, and then back out onto another hard drive, is there a configuration I should be using that’s easier? I guess I could connect another hard drive via a USB cable, but that’s not nearly as fast as the eSata cable connecting my current enclosure. I guess I need some kind of array of (expensive) hard drives?

Thanks, Sam. Do you know of a program that will convert my footage to mpeg (or anything else suitable, for that matter)? I’m having trouble finding anything through internet searches.

It’s about time. I’ll have time to try it next week.

I haven’t used motion tracking, but you could use the cookie cutter or masking and keyframe an animation of it. It will take a little while because you’ll have to examine your keyframes every few frames, depending on how fast the object is moving.

What are your render settings? Those may be making all the difference. And what are you viewing the rendered video in?

I used the one that came with my cameras, ImageMixer. If you have that, it probably is combining them, but it may be doing it in a folder that you need to find. What’s your transfer software?
