Hi Steve-
Yea, I tried re-installing everything,importing into a new AEP, I cached the prefs., uninstalled all plugins, re-installed them again…I am at a loss. I thought it was wierd when my back-up files were damaged too, but I think that the entire working directory was some how damaged in “the great crash of 2005” instead of just the AE file I was working…which is why my other file got damaged. ALthough it is weird that only the AE files were affected.
Have you ever used a recovery program on an After Effects file though? I heard that they aren’t recovered properly due to the format.
I will try the Adobe forums, thanks for that…hopefully they can help.
Any other suggestions…toss ’em at me!
Thanks!
