Wait... you mean ALL the work you've done with this project so far is GONE? Painting light sabres, layering stars in and out, color correcting, removing yitter, and a lot of other things in the past 2 or 3 years I can't even remember, all for nothing?

Well I didn't paint any lightsabers. I tried to bring back the stars for the opening shot. Color correcting was all about trying to tweak it from the histogram functions in avisynth. I don't know what yitter is. All I was doing (and had to do about ten times over and over again) was edit in the non-CGI shots, mix HD/GOUT elements when possible, try to get the avisynth automatic color correction function working, collecting audio, making my own mix, and of course try and export the project so I could see how I was doing (this I never could get to not fail during the encoding process). It was lame, but yes all that is gone. Any one attempt never took any more than a few weeks before I hit an insurmountable wall.

Again, an edit like this only takes a few weeks. It was running into territory where I didn't know what i was doing that was the problem (ie manual color correction, trying to correct a couple lightsaber shots). I will try again when new source material presents itself.
