Woho!
Yes, I finally managed to get everything working again!
For those of you who did not know of this my computer broke down in the middle of March. Luckily for me I'd had a back-up done three days prior to that, so I didn't lose any files, but I did realize that maybe I'd have to give up on a few things (vidding included)
Things looked a bit better just after Easter because then I bought myself a new computer (which I absolutely love atm becuase it's got a battery that sometimes seem to last forever) and I was able to download both a new version of Photoshop and Vegas Pro 12.0, with some help from some very lovely people around YouTube
A new problem soon occurred, however, because I realized that the codecs I had used earlier did not work for Vegas Pro 12.0 and so I was unable to import any .AVI files, which meant that I could work on... basically nothing
So the quest to find suitable codecs started and I tried multiple of them, but since I've also been working fulltime as a teacher since Easter I haven't really had the time to complete this search UNTIL TODAY, nearly a month later while I'm on a short break and I checked in on the Sony Vegas Forum to see if anyone else had found a solution to this. And lo' and behold; someone had!
So now I'm able to work with all of my videos again, both old and new projects, and I'm so, so happy! :D
(oh yeah, and this video in question... I don't even know...)

I had intended to finish this video and put it up yesterday - but I had quite a bit of work stuff to finish up, so... a day late, but I got it done!
This is for StarkQueens OCtober prompt list. Yesterdays prompt was star crossed and I decided to vid Ari and Stone from by book The Merging.
SPOILER ALERT
This is an actual book, that is going to be (self)published very soon. The video does not cover the entire story of the first novel (it is a duology), but if you dont want to be spoiled at all, maybe do not read through the full story description below :)
STORY
After an event called the Merging happens, causing two worlds (Earth and another) to become one, the world ends up in a state of chaos. Run by the ruthless GODCA regime, anyone who voices support of the beasts brought over to Earth from the other world is locked up in a Recreation Center forever. Ari is desperate to find her missing father and manages to use various underground networks in London to find information about his whereabouts. One evening, she runs into Stone, whom she realizes is a Draco - a member of the rebels.
When Ari goes to Amsterdam, she finds herself hunted by GODCA - and saved by the Dracos. She is brought to their underground headquarters and confronted by Stone once more. After spending some time with the rebels, she manages to get a place on a team going to the surface. As they leave, Stone runs into the room and tells her to run.
After their mission ends up exploding a neighborhood in Frankfurt, Ari is saved by a Blacktail dragon. It brings her to Paris and the last known adress of her fathers. Instead she finds an operative of the Dracos. She is later caught by GODCA and brought to a Recreation Center. GODCA interrogates her on the whereabouts of her father and the Dracos, then tortures her when she claims to not know.
Meanwhile, Stone and the Dracos plan a heist to free all of GODCAs captives across the world. Stone is a member of the team that rescues Ari and brings her back down below. She is conflicted regarding her feelings towards the Dracos and Stone in particular - and then watches through a hacked camera as Stone collapses.
Characters:
Arianna Ari - Tatiana Maslany
Alastair Stone - Benedict Cumberbatch
Weston (leader of the Dracos) - Richard Armitage
