After wrestling with the puppet tool yesterday to get some barely acceptable character animation completed, I set a render up late last night. On doing so I got this error from AE http://www.influxx.com/public/AE%20error-puppet%20tool.png This morning when I check the render, NONE of my puppet tool animation is playing. The keyframes are still in the timeline, and when they are selected the animation path is visible, only scaled about 1000%. So I lost almost a whole day of work on an already tight deadline (my last incremental save was before lunch OUCH!). What can I do to retrieve the animation if at all. If I am to start again can the puppet tool be trusted? What is the cause of the error, am I likely to get the same problem further down the line. thanks adam
