"Strange Situation" error in AE CC 2014 (Just upgraded) caused me to lose an entire day of effects work. Very angry, and I want answers. Have to deliver tomorrow. (Error 939524096)

Here is my file. Seems to be corrupted. No Auto Save was made eventhough AE is configured to save one. Seemed to happen in the middle of things, while I was switching between Premiere CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014 (Dynamic Linking). Was working perfectly fine until randomly the program crashed and Dynamic Link in Premiere lost access to the upwards of FIFTY COMPOSITIONS I had worked on.

I don't mean to be cruel here, but you lost a client because you didn't have a efficient and safe workflow set up. I never do anything without saving files in versions about every 10 to 20 minutes. If your files are getting corrupted every time you save them then you got to analyze your project and figure out what you are doing that is causing the corruption. Work for 10 or 15 minutes, save the file, open the file, save it as a different version then start again when you're having problems. Here's the most important part of business advice I can give you. As soon as you have any indication that there may be something wrong, contact your client. Don't make excuses, don't blame the software, take full responsibility and just explain that you need more time or something in the project needs to change. I have never had a client refuse to give me some leeway or refuse to make adjustments to the project that would allow it to be completed on time.
