The Bad news: The hard drive dragged A LOT of my files down with it--not all of them, but too many for me to not wanna curl up in a ball and die (all the red files are what's missing)
The Consolation news????: In 2016, I lost like a third of a video to my editor crashing. Ever since that day, I have religiously exported my projects. Any time I make significant progress on a video, I make a partially edited copy of it. As such, I know for a fact that most of my editing work is saved, albeit with some possible generational loss. This is actually something I did for my MUSHA video a few years back. The project crashed and corrupted at the 4:30 mark, but I exported everything the day prior, so I gladly took the somewhat degraded quality if it meant not remaking everything from scratch. I still don't know how tf I had the patience to make that video with an outdated computer using CyberLink PowerDirector 13. This should at least be less painful than that.
The thought that's currently making me wanna die is retrieving all the original sources again because it's the kind of ungodly tedium that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. It will get made though. I will finish this thing, but it will not be any time soon though. I'm gonna need a creative palette cleanser for a while.
