Okay, now I am in DESPERATE need of help.

After wrestling with th= e puppet tool yesterday to get some barely acceptable character animation c= ompleted, I set a render up late last night. On doing so I got this error f= rom AE
http://www.influxx.com/public/AE%20error-puppet%20too= l.png

This morning when I check the render, NONE of my puppet = tool animation is playing. The keyframes are still in the timeline, and whe= n 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 t= he animation if at all. If I am to start again can the puppet tool be trust= ed? What is the cause of the error, am I likely to get the same problem fur= ther down the line.

thanks
adam
