  • AE Beta 17.5.1 Won’t Save

    Posted by Mose Bergmann on November 15, 2020 at 1:11 am

    Working on a straightforward graphics project in AE Beta, trying to save before a render and the program just won’t save. Like the menu options are all available and it when I click on ‘save’ or ‘save as’ there’s a response, but it just won’t create a save file. It’s a new project and I suspect that some permissions may have been messed up and my AE beta can’t write a new save file, but I am unsure how to fix that. I also have imported a separate .ae file into this project, that may be a compounding factor but not sure.

    I reset the read and write permissions thru finder but hasn’t changed any save abilities yet. Unsure of how to proceed, I don’t want to have to lose this project.

    Is your auto-save having the same problems?

    Yes. Eventually I ended up using a kill command in Terminal with the PID #, and that created a crash save file which works after updating to latest AE beta. Resolved!
