SO I THOUGHT MY GREIFS WERE OVER. LOGOCAL RIGHT??!?? NOPE

So on top of graphic design, I also work in Final Cut Pro to create videos. My current project 'Awoken' has taken the entirety of this school year to produce. It's a lyric-style music video that uses the words and visuals to drive the narrative. I shot over 4 hours worth of film for it!

I enter the Mac Lab today and SEVERAL things have been deleted. I'm missing fully-rendered clips, transitions, overlaps and ALL of my audio edits. IT'S ALL GONE. Some jack-rabbit logged into my Editor and fricked around in my project files and deleted EVERYTHING. There's no getting that back either. No recovery, just POOF. That's two whole months worth of editing, just... GONE. DELETED. And worst of it is that I have a deadline to meet for a 10 thousand dollar portfolio scholarship. This video is supposed to be the icing on the cake and because of this setback I might not be completed or able to submit it at all. Someone pray for whomever fricked around in my files because as soon as I get his name, there will be murder.

ANOTHER GRIEVANCE ENTERS THE FREY. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC.

** Update! **
HOLY BALLS. THIS S AMAZING. So what I didn't know was that Final Cut makes periodic backups and saves them within the program as ENTIRLY SEPERATE PROJECT FILES. You know what this means?!!? MY VIDEO IS STILL INTACT. SUCK IT GRIEFER, I HAVE A PURE BACKUP!!!
