bullet Chapter Nine: Time

There is an error in the T_Remap.aep project in Chapter nine: Time.
When you open this project there will be a missing
piece of footage named "closeup 2_09.mov". The movie is,
in fact on the CD, it is simply named differently so AE can't locate it without your help!

To resolve this, please open up the project and double-click
the missing "Close_up_09.mov" in the Project window. Locate the "MeDance.mov" file from the Training>Source Movies>
Angie Movies>MacDonna folder. Double-click this file to
select it (or hit the Import button) to replace the missing footage.
Finally, re-save the project to fix the problem.
