P: Render Video... not working after macOS 10.15 Catalina upgrade

The "Render Video..." function no longer works after upgrading to Catalina on my 2019 Macbook Pro. More specifically, using the Render Video... function results in a spinning "busy" cursor and causes Photoshop to lock up. The only way I can get out of it is to Force Quit Photoshop. I've never had any trouble with this function until the Catalina update.

So far I have reinstalled both Photoshop and Media Encoder, and neither has fixed the problem.

    When I want to render a video (mp4) in photoshop is doesn't seem to work after updated to macOS catalina.

    After file > export > render video, I cannot select the option "Adobe media encoder" but only "photoshop image sequence". This results in multiple saved .psd files (each frame of my video). Is there a workaround for this problem?

    Thank you Daniel! Problem solved!!!

    For the English version, go to  (Mac) System Preferences > Security & Privacy (Privacy Tab) > Full Disk Access > enable Photoshop.

    Hi Michael,
    i had the same problem and fixed it.
    Go to "settings" -> "security" -> "hard disk access"(don't know if this is the exakt term as i'm running a german version. In the german version it says ("Festplattenvollzugriff") and give photoshop access to your hard disk.
    greetings
