Overwrite file command not adhered to.

When I send any file to the queue from Pr or AE after I specifically told the programme the file needs to be replaced, Media Encoder does not respect that decision and adds "_1" behind the chosen file name for a newly created video file.

How can I tell Media Encoder to stop doing this?

Same here, extremly annoying.

I just encountered this bug as well. Turning off the increment option results in the export failing. I'm on a Mac using Premiere Pro 24.5.0.

There's an option in the AME prefs under General > Output called "Increment output file name if file with same name exists." Uncheck this and you should be good.

Hi David. When I use this option, ME usually fail to render. Might be a windows permition thing, is there a way to force it to always overwrite the prev version?

Hi David, sorry to take so much time to reply, got a busy end of week.

Anyway, out of spite, I changed my entire D ownership to my specific user just to see if that is a windowns permission or something. Still the same error unfortunately. Also tried another drive with that permission thinghy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6thv2JXFkKE&t=190s&ab_channel=SandeepSingh) and even did specifically on the damm file, still no change.

I'm out of ideas, hopefully you guys can thign of something.

Cheers

Sorry this is still happening, I don't have many more ideas. Have you tried uninstalling (while trashing preferences) and reinstalling Premiere and AME?
