Access Denied is the message when I try to render. I checked the permissions on all folders and the program and I made it so all have access to read and write, so that can’t be the problem. In the past adjusting the sequence settings and A/V settings and then creating a new sequence and copying and pasting the timeline contents onto the new sequence has rectified rendering issues, but this time I am at a loss. Any ideas? It’s FCP 6 on the same Quad Intel Power Mac I’ve been using for this project for 2 years. Another issue is that FCP won’t launch on the Root User, but I’m less concerned about that at the moment.
