Adobe Premiere elements 15 File name invalid

I have elements 15 and am trying to export my video in 1080 at 60fps which I know it was shot in with my gopro. When I try to export it I have to go to custom settings to change the framerate to 60fps. When I do this and save my changes and hit the save button it tells me that my file name is invalid. I tried many different options for file names, even the default one, and still nothing worked. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it. Thanks

Correct answer Peru Bob

Your file name has a question mark in it.  That is not allowed.

Oh no I can change it and when I do change it to “youtube” for example it still gives me this error message. I dont need to change the name though. The defeault one as you see is just fine but im just trying to save it and its not letting me.

So are you saying that you can't change the name "Copy of MP4" to a custom name?

If so, what name are you trying to give it?

Are you saying that the name of the video you're outputting is showing as invalid or that the name of the custom output preset is invalid?

In either case, what name are you giving the file? You may be including an invalid character.

Im not sure which it is talking about but the file name it says in invalid. I just left it as the default after a while of messing with different names.
