Encode failed because the file can't be overwritten error? Please help!

[420drew]

So this new Premiere update has me seriously stressed out! I seriously need help. You apparently can't save over an old version of a video anymore. Is anyone else having this problem?

In premiere pro, I always export via media encoder, but the new version, adds a number at the end of the filename, despite if you select yes in Premiere when it asks if you want to replace the file.

I unchecked the option in Media Encoder to add a number if the file has the same name and now Media Encoder won't work at all.

It gives me an error saying it couldn't overwrite the file. In the 14 years of using this software, I have never had this problem. Ever. Media encoder used to ask you if you wanted to replace a file or it would just overwrite it if you selected replace in premiere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have to turn in a few videos for a client today.

Had the same issue myself. Try rolling back to version 22.2. for premiere and media encoder that's what worked for me.

Try updating to 22.5 It should be fixed.
