You booted from the DW disk, correct? It could be a serious problem if DW couldn’t fix it. I don’t know if cloning would clone the problem or not, so you might want to play it safe & start from scratch.

What I would do is to format a firewire drive, then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your system drive to that. Re-boot from the FW drive, then format your internal system drive, and use CCC to clone the contents of the FW drive back. Re-boot from your internal drive.
That will take a couple of hours (at least!), but it will be faster than reinstalling both your OS & all of your applications, plus setting up your email, finding your browser links, etc. If you clone your drive with CCC, all of this stuff will already be set up.
BTW, it’s a good idea to use CCC on a regular basis for system backups.

Did the beta include a black & white version of the animation? That could be a ‘hi-con’ to be used as an alpha matte.

It doesn’t really replace Shake, but it allows you some of the functionallity of Shake inside of FCP & Motion, so you might not need to send as many shots to Shake.
For simple to intermediate comps, it works quite well. For more complex shots, you’re better off in Shake.
And to make scratch comps in FCP so that I can work out timing before sending shots to Shake, it just rocks.

There’s no tongue in cheek emoticon. Perhaps I should’ve used the winky one? 😉

[Shane Ross] “HD can be 720p 23.98, 29.97, 59.94 or 1080i or 1080p 23.98, 29.97 and 59.94. There is NO standard. Standards mean ONE SETTING….not multiple options.”
That was my point. I was trying to be tongue in cheek. Let’s not even start on codecs, or I really will bleed from the ears.

When I’m in the market for drives I check out these sites:

https://www.tomshardware.com/
https://xlr8yourmac.com/And I shop around a bit, but I tend to buy my drives from either:

https://www.newegg.com/My current favorite place for SATA enclosures is https://www.pc-pitstop.com/

[Shane Ross] “There is no such thing as STANDARD in HD.”
Not true! There are many ‘standard’ forms of HD! Kind of like linux distributions. It’s enough to make you bleed from your ears.

Typically, a clicking sound from your hard drive means it’s very dead. The clicking is usually the sound of the read/write head in the drive banging on the platter & gouging the surface where your data used to reside.
You should plan on replacing this drive. You should not plan on ever recovering any data from this drive.
OTOH, if this is an external drive with a fan, it might only be that the fan’s clicking and your cable is loose.
