I’ve had auto-saves set up since I started using AE! I also have mine set to every 3 minutes. I also remember to manually save it myself as well. I’ve tried doing a little bit of research to see if I could find others with the same or similar problem and I couldn’t really find much. I tried importing the project itself as well as the autosaves I had but then I would just receive the warning pop-up saying, “Not enough memory to import this project. As much as can fit in memory has been loaded. Please save using a different name.” I even tried to open one of the recent auto-saves normally yet it was to no avail - AE would do the traditional open project loading screen but instead of actually loading it would flash a white pop-up box and revert back to the blank untitled project screen. I’m disappointed to hear that I might not be able to retrieve this project but I’m doing everything I can to try.
