OMG!!! i've been working on this project for a while and after doing both, render view and timeslider to play the animation, maya 2013 decided it was ok to just freeze up and crash!!! GRRRR i'm sooo angry!! why can't the maya programmers get things right? *sigh* would be nice if at least maya automatically saved your last work or something... geezz

1. Yes it can auto save your work every x minutes. There is an incremental save feature.
2. Even when it crashes it tries to save your work. In Windows you can find it in the temp folder.
