quicktimes won’t render to drive – Error compiling movie / unable to create or open output file
If I try rendering a quicktime out of Adobe Encoder, Premiere, or AE, The render fails – Error Compiling movie, Unable to create or open output file.
This problem only happens when rendering to the specific drive (G) and only .mov files.
I can render a .avi file to the drive, or a .mov to a different drive.
This just started happening after I installed an additional drive (E) to my system (previously I had no problem rendering to this drive).I’ve checked my permissions and everything is checked. I can write to or transfer a .mov file to this drive (G) with no problem.
It has plenty of space, so that’s not the problem either.The problem is rendering .mov files from Adobe products to this drive
(G). -

Hi Bart,
Try setting the export file destination to the root directory of the drive once, meaning G:/exportname.mov
Thanks

Nope, same failure…

I’m having the same issue. Writes on all drives, except a specific drive. Di you resolve the issue?

Nope, I’m swamped with a project and haven’t gotten it resolved.
Just writing .mov test renders to the drive that will allow it for now.
Let me know if you figure it out.

It seems there is a issue with latest Quicktime. Read on the other forum that installing older version works. Try this one https://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime731forwindows.html . Uninstall the current quicktime and install the older one. Worked for me.
