Your path looks fine but that filename is still bad.

 

Can you please try your export frame again, but this time, choose your desktop, with the filename 01

Your path should be C:\Users\dawoo\Desktop

Let me move this to the Premiere Pro forum for you, which is the appropriate forum for your question.

The Using the Community forum is for help in using the Adobe Support Community forums, not for help with specific programs. Product questions should be posted in the associated product community.

What's the path? That's hidden by the dialog box telling you it's an invalid path. My guess is that it's an invalid path.. Maybe just output to your desktop or the root of an internal drive and see how it goes.

Looks like you have invalid characters in your filename. Rename it. Don't use special characters.

Whatever character that is is invalid. Remove it and look for any more like it.

My brother, I did try deleting the invalid filename, but it didn't work so I am going to write the invalid characters on here.   transformers-the-basics-on-the-g1-cartoon_LqD2ibzQ_mGDV.00_00_00.Still001

That is just the filename, the invalid characters could be anywhere in the entire file path.

Can you take a screenshot of the entire path you are trying to save to? Basically, your previous screenshot, but without the error message. The path is covered by the error.

It's the complete direction to where you're saving the file. In your case, is the one that starts with D:/ under the error message. Post it here so everybody can see if there's something wrong with it. Also, check your disk space, make sure you have enough space to save your file, and if your path leads to an external disk, check if it's well connected.

(On other note, you should be a little more patient waiting for an answer, people here are trying to help you, but they too have things to do and they're not checking the forum 24/7, if and when they can and have something to add, they'll do it).

@Mohammad Dawood. , the answers you seek are contained within your own screenshot. I told you exactly where the path is but you have not provided the info. Here is a screenshot. As you can see , the error message is covering the path. Can you bring up that screen again so we can see the entire file path? Without the error message?

Yes, you can change both the path and the file name by clicking on their respective boxes, choose a simple name for the file, just basic letters (a-z) and/or numbers, and make sure to pick an existing disk folder for the path.
