Upgraded to Mavericks and the Dynamaic Link between Adobe After Effects & Premiere will not work.
Hey,
I got bought a 2008 Mac Pro, which was running on Mavericks, then I updated my 2010 Macbook Pro to Mavericks so I could use Migration assistant. I use Adobe CS5. Now, the Dynamic Link between After Effects and Premiere Pro doesn’t work. Individually I can use either program, but when when I try click “edit original” in my Premiere timeline to go to After Effects it will bring up After Effects, but not load the file or freeze then just close the program. I don’t think this a Migration Assistant issue, because it’s an issue on both my computers.
For awhile After Effects would give me this error message when trying to use the Dynamic Link – “Unable to execute script at line 36. After Effects error: Can’t overwite file “/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/Adobe After Effects 10.0-x64 Prefs”. It hasn’t shown that error message in a few days. Couldn’t figure it out.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Mac OS has incorrectly set the permissions for some files.
When you upgrade a Mac OS (as opposed to installing the new version fresh), Mac OS will _often_ set permissions of folders and files incorrectly.
You’ll see this problem in programs like After Effects in the form of error messages saying that a file can’t be written, overwritten, or renamed.
To fix this in the case of After Effects, go to the preferences folder and set the _entire_ preferences folder ( /Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/ ) and all of its contents to be writable, not read-only.

Todd,
I am also running into linking issues PR & AE CS6 OS 10.9.1.
I’ve looked into Library/Preferences, but don’t see an Adobe folder.
I sure would appreciate a bit more guidance.Thanks,

Todd,
I did finally find the correct Library (user, not the HD). Ultimately, went back to basics and repaired permissions, and all seems to be OK.
Sometimes it’s the simple things:-)
Thanks,
Jim

I’m still having issues giving the proper permissions to my AE after upgrade to Maverick. Every post tells you to go to this directory which doesn’t exist on my machine. Users, Name/library/preferences/Adobe After Effects. On Maverick 10.9.2, I don’t have a library folder in the Users folder. Please help!!
