If you're on Windows, try running After Effects as administrator (right-click After Effects icon and select Run as administrator).

Let us know the outcome.


Thanks,

Hi there, can you follow these instructions for your OS to see if your permissions are incorrectly set? https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/preferences-folder-read-only-error.html

Thanks for the info - I will recheck the permissions and see if that is the issue.
I did try that before but it didn't work.
