years later another suggestion for disgruntled googlers…
yeah AE just crapped out on me, no luck with re-importing project file.
then i thought that the machine basically saves another file anytime i hit ctrl+s, and that that doesn’t necessarily have to be on the same spot on the disk… threw a recovery software at the frigger, searching for deleted and lost files. voilà , got a previous version of the project a couple of hours old…
also i find it interesting that it’s allways crapware makers like adobe who don’t enable automatic backups by default. probaly to give their programs an air of stability.
oh why can’t all be avid?
