Hey Peter!

You are not crazy! (I know this is a couple months old by now, but….)

I as well am having that problem, and since all these peeps are shouting “noob” at you, I wanted to let you know that its not the noobism thats causing all this, cause I am not new to FCP, been using it professionally for 6 years, and I just ran into this problem

Every time I save, to any drive, regardless of permissions, or file overwrites, even when I try to save to Desktop, change the name all that…. I get “Operation Not Allowed” from FCP 7, same when it tries to Autosave….

For me the problem arose when I chose to pause my After Effects render and do some editing in FCP, after that things went whacky. I figure for my problem a reboot will fix it, but I was afraid of losing all the work I did!

Long story short, you are not crazy and your temporary solution worked wonders, thanks!! Keep working, and don’t listen to this “need more practice” bull crap, cause the best practice you can get is this real world experience, and that comes through the online edit.

words…
