Q: Permissions Problem(Fairly Urgent)
Alright, I will try not to get ranty here as I am under heavy frustration right now.
I just finished editing a 30 minute film that I've been working on for the past 8 months, and I'm sending it off to be mastered. I've decided to go with uncompressed for the output, so I had to buy a new external SSD. (Obviously won't just be used for that) So I went through the routine to export it to my brand new drive, and here's what I got:
Apparently I wasn't allowed to share it yet, but I was like whatever I'll do what it says which was to turn on permissions in the file. I went to the file and went to permissions and saw this:
My apologies for how small it is, but if you look under sharing and permissions in the window on the left, you'll see that read and write is on for me (grant benson), which makes no sense, since I obviously still can't save my film to that drive. Also, on a side note, it's not just the drive, I'm not allowed to do this for any other place on my computer for some reason either, it's really confusing, but the drive is the thing I'm worried about.
This frustrates me a lot, since now I have nothing to help me solve the problem. I've looked around quite a bit here, but haven't really found a whole lot to work with, I've tried looking at "Repair Disk Permissions," but there were no error messages. I'm really delayed in getting this film done, and especially to my friend who will be mastering it, so help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
I'm running FCP 10.2.1
