Does FM crash on Large files on a regular basis?

[Bill Swallow]

14MB isn't huge but the embedded content might be the culprit.
Embedded media can become corrupt, particularly when saving down/up
and sharing files (black hole of WTF). My advice is to get your
embedded items out of there and import by reference. You'll be loading
a lot less into memory.
