Are you still having the issue? Let us know.

I am moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for now.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

      Is Illustrator still open when switching back to AE? Just wondering if somehow it has the file locked.

          Are you running on Sonoma/MacOS 14? There seems to be something up with permissions to files for some users with the new OS.
