Similar issue… huge client, we have many many hours of HD footage with numerous high-res gfx etc. Working on project for months with no issues, yesterday it froze during a SAVE; lost an hour of work no biggie. Went to re-open and it says the file is corrupt. Went to open a Recovery in the Auto-Save (I auto-save every 5 min, 20 versions) and the Auto-Save Folder is over 70 gigs big!!!! Each back-up file is 3-4 gigs in size and takes 20+ minutes to load project; once project is loaded I get the Mac Spinning Wheel of Death when I try to click anywhere in the project window and it will not re-save to a new location without freezing (24 gigs of ram). My only solution thus far is to take 20 minutes to open a recovery file, and COPY everything in my sequence and PASTE it into a New Project, New Sequence, in a completely New Location. Only allowing me to copy 1 sequence at a time but I’ve recovered a small amount of my work.
