  • Unable to save Custom Preset in approp AE folder due to “You don’t currently have permission to access this folder”

    Posted by Tom Daigon on October 2, 2012 at 8:49 pm

    I created a custom Twitch preset and attempted to save it in the AE CS6 Presets folder when Windows 7 told me “You don’t currently have permission to access this folder”.
    I am Administrator for machine.How to I circumvent this block?

    You might need to right-click on AE in the start menu and select “Run as Administrator”.

    Even if you are the admin you still need to run the app in admin mode. Right click on AE and select Run as Administrator. This should solve your problem.
