File Couldnt be open for writing: /filepath ( 3 :: 0 )

Question

Hi using a mac. Just updated it to Sonoma 14.0.

After I updated it, i connected my HDD formatted in Extended Journaled.

My after effects project files were opening through after effects v23.6.

I am unable to save changed i make to these files since this error is appearing -

File Couldnt be open for writing: /filepath ( 3 :: 0 )

The only way i am able to use the save feature on after effects is to 'save as' the file on my desktop.

this is not sustainable for me as i barely have any space on my system disk and hence need help with the issue.

I have around 4 TB space on my HDD where i want to save.

This is across all after effects files on my HDD and not file specific issue.

I have checked the entire path's permissions and everything is read and write. I have checked the application after effects and its permissions are also read and write.

I have shut down and turned on my computer.

I have checked name extension and it ends it .aep so that's fine

I have no idea what to do. Please help me because i have a project going on and i will not be able to deliver it if this issue persists

Perhaps you need to change the names of the paths you store, especially those like “V's WD” that are very likely to cause system read and write problems, and please try to ensure that the names of the stored paths are short and standardized.
