Premiere Elements 2022 for Mac "Unable to save data to folder " when trying to export video.

[LievenDPM]

Help! Recently purchased Premiere elements 2022 for Mac. Installed correctly and everything works fine until I try to export video. This message is shown every time I try to export. What is the problem?

Did you read the last sentence of the error message?

DO you have full permissions set?

[LievenDPM]

Hi John, thanks for your response. Yes, the program has permission to all the folders on my Mac. Could it be that it has something to do with the fact that I am on an older mac. Here are the specs:

Recently upgraded with ssd hard drive.

I don't have a Mac so can't be sure of this, but on other forums for other products there were reports that a recent iOS update changed some folder permission settings that caused trouble for users.   If it were me, I would double check the permissions or try a different target folder for your exports.  It may also be just the "Workflows" folder listed in the error message.  Video editor software uses temporary files for processing and that may be where they are.    

If nothing else works, start an online chat session with Adobe techs at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

Any solutions to this issue? I am on MacOS 15.3.1 (24D70) and get this error with Adobe Premiere Elements 2024 20240321.

Thanks!

Luckily I could sell my Adobe product - I contacted Adobe support 10 times or more often, but they were not willing to help. Their support sucks and I am happy not to use any Adobe products anymore.

I could finally solve the issue. Adobe support sent me instructions which folders need write access. The trick was, that it wasn't enough to give the write access to the parent folder but for each subfolder separately. After that the export worked.
