Premiere Pro requires access to the following folders: Public

[Ivo Cimmino]

When I open PPro I get this message followed by the note:

"Grant access to this application in security & privacy preferences, located in system Preferences".

The problem is when I go to privacy settings I don't even see PPro, I only see Media Encoder. So I cannot allow access.

I am working on MacOS Sonoma 14.0

Premiere Pro V25.0

I did see another post with the same question, but no valid answer.

I have already tried to uninstall PPro, and restart computer, with no luck.

Thanks

I've read several times that one of the upgrades to iOS made folders private.   So in the Apple system, you need to find the folder being used and give it open access. 

Someone more familiar with Apple may need to add more.

Hi @Ivo Cimmino -  Mac computers have strict controls over application access to folders. To import media from those folders, you need to grant permission or click ‘Allow.’ The screenshot below likely shows what you encountered.

To resolve this, click the Apple icon in the menu bar, select System Settings, then navigate to Privacy & Security > Files and Folders. Here, you can enable access for Premiere Pro to access your folders.

Thanks @jamieclarke , but as I have explained in my post, the problem is that when I go to Privacy & Security > Files and Folders, PPro is not there for me to grant access. All I see is "Adobe ME". See attached image.

Hi @Ivo Cimmino - That is a weird one.  Does Premiere Pro show up in the Full Disk Access section?  Can you try adding it if it is not there.  Let us know if that helps your issue.

Hi Jamieclarke. No PPro was not in the full disk access. I have added it. Now it shows as in the attached image, but still causes the same message when I open premiere.

Hi @Ivo Cimmino - Can you screenshot the message you are receiving and post it here.

Hi @Ivo Cimmino - That is a different issue.  Are there files you are trying to access in the public folder?  Can you try navigating to your Username > Public and then right click on "Public" then select get info. at the bottom there is a sharing and permission section make sure that you have read/write access with your username for that folder.  

Also, here is an article to help you as well Control access to your Public folder on Mac

Let us know if that helps

Hi @jamieclarke , Sorry to bother you but I am having the same exact issue,  Ive been trying to figure out what you told Ivo to do but Im stuck at 'Username' Do you mean my name at the top left on the System Preferences main window? Thank You!

Hi @karll9404581 - Double click your macintosh hard drive and then go to the folder Users > <Username> > Public

The link to apple support document can be helpful as well.

Up & running, Thank you so much for clearing that up!! 

[Ivo Cimmino]

@jamieclarkeThat worked !

For some reason I only had read access to that folder, I have changed it to Read/Write, and that did the trick.

Thank you very much for your help.
