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

Report · Oct 05, 2023

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
