What’s with “Operation not allowed” when saving or exporting

[Peter Corbett]

I’ve actually switched back to CS5 (Mac) Carl because of the rendering speed of Mercury and other suite integation reasons. But I still dabble in FCP.

I know this is an older thread, don’t know if anyone’s had this problem since or if anyone found a fix: all of a sudden today (in FCP 7.3) I get “operation not allowed” when trying to use the insert edit button. have no idea why. tried quitting and re-opening. i can drag the clip onto the timeline from the viewer but can not perform the simple F9 insert edit.
anyone? thanks

I’ve been a FCP editor for the last 6 years and i just had the same “Operation Not Allowed” when saving message for the first time.

Hmm I have been using FCP for years now but only today I start to get this “operation not allowed ” message. Which is very nerve wreaking. Anyway I am happy that more people down the line Did respond with a useful solution.
