This has happened to two projects I'm working on. They are not very large or intricate projects, but once the project file size exceeds 560 kb, after effects is not longer able to open them. Crash occurs immedieatly on startup. Smaller project files can be opened, however even autosaves of these projects cannot open if it is over 560 kb.
I've tried reinstalling AE, rolling it back to a previous version, clearing the cache, changing the size of the cache, changing the location of the cache, and even recovering the project with disk drill. Nothing changes the state of the problem.
I'm running AE 25.2 but have also tried 25.1 and 25.0. I'm working in a Windows 10 environment with an AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor, 32 GB of Ram, and a NVIDIA 4080 Super.
I'd like to be able to open these projects again as they're almost ready for export. If they're corrupted, I'd like to recover them if possible. At the bare minimum, I'd like to make sure this doesn't happen again so I can actually use After Effects.
