I managed to somehow find the original Adobe C4 files on a 10 year old computer and put it on my new rig on CC and get back the entire original timeline complete.

It was like fraking magic.

There were many files but the last one ended at 5-9-12. The day my late wife came home and told me she had stage 4 cancer. Now I can truly finish this in glorious 2K which was the height of tech back then.

Working on new effects and finishing this once and for all.
