I've been using C4D for a couple years now and I've never experienced this problem. I don't know what I inadvertently clicked on to change something, but whenever I try to render a still image I get this error message...

"files cannot be written - please check output paths"

It looks like its trying to render a full movie, but that's not what I want to do.

When I have gotten that error I usually had a wrong save path in the render settings file that doesn't exists. Most of the time some random letter was added to a folder name.


Hope that helps

Greg

will do...and I'm sure I'll be embarrassed by how simple the solution that was staring right at me the whole time.

You were right Greg. I had a similiar problem and in my case all I had to do was to go to the save tab in render settings. I found the path I wanted to save my file to and it seems as if the problem was that C4D would automatically populate the project name as the destination folder. See example :

/Volumes/G-DRIVE/Jae Mac "She Wanna" Video/After Effects/C4D/project file


all i had to do was erase that "project file" and it rendered fine!

File...../Volumes/G-DRIVE/Jae Mac "She Wanna" Video/After Effects/C4D

Obviously it has to render to a folder not a file... duh..

Hope that helps anyone
