A bride in Tampa wanted her entire wedding video edited in 48 hours

She sent me the raw footage on a Friday morning and needed the full 90 minute film by Sunday night for a family event. I had to pull two all-nighters and used Adobe Premiere the whole time, but the final export failed three times because her files were corrupted. Has anyone else had a client drop a massive rush job with bad source material?

Corrupted files are the worst part.

See it everywhere now. People treat their own important stuff like junk mail, then act shocked when it falls apart. Shows a real lack of care.

Oh man, patricia_hill60 is so right about corrupted files. I had a client send me a whole wedding on a busted hard drive once. Half the clips were just green screen and the audio crackled like crazy. Spent more time trying to fix their messed up files than actually editing, and they still complained the final cut was "glitchy." Some people just have no idea what they're handing over.
