Pre Pro Scratch disk write protected or unavailable????

[Thomas Trudzinski]

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:

Try this first before wrecking your brain on other methods if you are on a Mac.

Hold down the option key, click the Premiere Pro icon and let the program start until the menu comes up. This will delete the preference files. It should work like a charm after.

I was having the same issue on a Mac, CS6. Cleaning the media cache and restarting PP worked.

I had the same problem and removing the / that was in the file name corrected the problem.

Thanks

I just created this account so I could say thank you to Thomas Trudzinski for the hold down option trick.

I had the same problem after installing snow leopard on my mac powerbook. right click on the folder and select “get info”. go to the bottom and click the lock to unlock “sharing & permissions”. click the + sign, then when you see the different users pop up, select your log in user name and click “select”. this will allow you to do whatever with your folder. I noticed that when put snow leopard on my comp, it created a separate user log in and I think this is where the problem happened. But Im ok with that cause when people ask to use my computer I dont need them being able to access my personal files or websites where my passwords are stored anyway! hope this helps!

Just wanted to add my voice to the ‘hold option key when opening premiere’ solution to ditch the prefs.

Running CS5 on OSX Mountain Lion and it worked a charm.

Cheers folks!

I had the same problem.

But it was because the scratch disc was full. Try making some space.

I can confirm that removing “/” characters in the projet file name fixes this issue.
