Save early and save often
Lesson learned: If a program offers you the opportunity to autosave your work for you, if only you’d take the briefest of breaks to first save your work and give it a file name, do it.
Don’t, as I did, work for four hours on a video project, thinking that Final Cut Pro is saving your work for you and then try to export to a .flv file, only to have FCP freeze up, requiring a force quit.
This situation cost me hours of work yesterday and forced me to reconstruct my video project in 20 minutes — if only it could go that fast the first time around!
Seriously, a lot of newspaper people hate video because it’s a training-intensive time-sink. Well, it can be, especially if you’re dumb and fail to save early and often.
