  • AE Presets – How to change to Read/Write

    Posted by Martin Gardiner on June 13, 2017 at 4:31 pm

    Hi

    I’m unable to save new AE Presets, I keep getting the error
    ‘could not create the file’
    I found a solution on CCow, but don’t know how to change the preference (can’t find it in preferences)
    How do I…
    Convert the ‘Preset’ folder to Read & Write?

    To change permissions on a Mac:

    Applications > After Effects – rt. click the Presets folder (or CMD – I). In the Info window that appears unlock “Sharing and Permissions” by clicking on the padlock icon in the bottom right corner, enter your password, and then click on the user account you would like to change and select “Read & Write.”
