Can’t make directory, fails to build previews/proxies
Posted by Carla Vidal on January 15, 2013 at 11:32 amHi everyone,
I am having the same problem with different clips. I can’t see a common setting between them, it just says that fails.
Thank you for your help

Check that under media search paths and make sure you have read/write to that directory.

How can I check those permissions? I see everything normal in media search path… what kind of information would you need?
Thank you 🙂

January 16, 2013 at 10:20 pmPermissions are controlled by your OS. CatDV merely points and shows the path.
What tends to happen is that people define a drive that they only have read only permissions to and then of course CatDV can’t write to it.
You can google permissions checking for whichever OS you are on. On a Mac you can “get info” on the folder or drive to check that you have read/write.
