character Animations importing

When I import character animations from iClone into my existing Unreal Engine project using the iClone Auto Setup plugin, Unreal Engine crashes and displays the following error message before closing. (Project size 130GB)

Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting…

However, if I perform the same import in a new Unreal Engine project, it works without any issues.

My graphics card is an NVIDIA RTX 5090 (32 GB VRAM). PC RAM 64 GB

Why is this happening only in my existing project, and how can I fix it?

Perhaps something here will help:
