Apple's shitty consumer-level authoring software bit me another several times, but my little video, now nearing the last stages of production, has definitely crossed the threshold of "good enough": it's as smooth and as shiny a turd as my tools and my skill sets (among which I include a certain gift for desperate improvisation in a crunch) can between them devise, which is fortunate since I learned on Friday that my masters expect it tomorrow morning and not on Wednesday, as I'd previously understood.
