Issue - Unchecking the settings option for "Increment output file name if file with same name exists." causes the render to fail.
Adobe Media Encoder version number - Version 24.6.1 (Build 2)
Operating system - Sonoma 14.6.1
Steps to reproduce -
- Open settings > General and deselect "Increment output file name if file with same name exists."
- Render V1 of the video file to destination folder.
- (Optional) Make video edits.
- Export video with matching file name to same destination folder.
Expected result - The file in the destination folder should be overwritten to prevent the buildup of multiple versions in destination folder.
Actual result - The render itself fails to excecute, see attached error log.
