Using my old capture card to capture clips at 15fps and exporting the video at 30fps...

Having the sheer amount of editing essentials I have collected over the past 9 years, thinking of all of the money I spent so I could produce a half-way decent video, the countless hours planing, the post production time, the editing time, making the final product from a lump of nearly uncompressed files........

Then realizing who I am.

Oh god...after 3 mo. of working on a video I opened up my trusty Vegas...and nothing was there.
My husband deleted EVERYTHING. He said it was an accident, but I still have my doubts. He's lucky he's still breathing. I still think I should have broken his legs though. At the very least his ever-lovin' deleting fingers.

About several weeks ago, massive external hard drive crash and I lost all my video files I'd collected over the years. Avisynth scripts, gone. pictures, video, AMV's, school assignments, my checking account all down the drain.

So now I have to redo a lot of work for MEP tracks. :/

Oh, and while working on my Gateway track, I accidentally got ONE file offline. I re-linked that one file, only to have all the other ones go offline and they wouldn't go back online even after I had re-linked them several times.

That's awful!! I can't imagine having to worry about other people ruining my work on top of worrying about ME/my computer ruining it!!

Actually I can. About 10 years ago my father - who was messing around with my computer for some reason - went and reformatted the hard drive after something in the OS got screwed up beyond what he thought was salvaging. I lost years of work: irreplaceable writing, artwork, correspondence, pictures, college papers - you name it. I was so beyond upset that I never even yelled or screamed or threw furniture through windows.

Nothing like coming home and hearing "Oh, yeah, Lauren? You're computer got messed up so I had to reformat it" to turn your thoughts to patricide. To this day I suspect that's why he doesn't let me work on his computers - he thinks I'll find some excuse to reformat HIS hard drive.

In a way...the deleted project was a blessing in disguise. I think the final outcome was lots better than the original. It ended up being happy fun times and people seemed to like it. Of course, I'll never tell him that. EVER..cause I'm evil that way.
