I am at the point in a problem where I can't save a project file.  This project file is only 30 seconds long and after multiple attempts to save it, I got curious and looked at the file and this puppy is 1.8 GB in size.  For 30 seconds?   Is this normal?   I have 28GB of ram and a fairly good graphics card, and trying to save this file back out of CT8 after mods, is absolutely impossible.  It chokes, locks and crashes the software

Any feedback would be appreciated.
