Question

Cannot migrate settings in Beta After Effects

No matter what my permissions settings on the folders, I constantly get this "An error occurred migrating the settings files. Check the permissions of the After Effects preferences folder."

 

I have checked them OVER and OVER. What is going on?

Hi @jackthegiantkiller, thanks for reporting this. What OS are you using and does this only happen in Beta builds?

 

Thanks for any further information you can provide,

Sorry for the issue. There was a code change checked into some shared code that caused this issue in AE. Latest version of AE beta has that fixed.
