Movie capture issue

Hello.

I’m trying to render an animation of the sequence I’ve setup.

I managed to output one but afterwards I was trying to hide and un hide different objects to create a view different animations from. I did this by creating levels and adding the different geometry to those levels.
Within the sequencer I added track visibility to the sequence which successfully swapped the different geometry from view. However now when I try to capture a movie, upon clicking the button it just registers Read only output directory… and will not render the file.

Sorted it with a work around for the problem if anyone else comes across it.

The folder structure we use, syncs with google drive. I was able to output one animation to the designated folder, but couldn’t output another. This was the case even with specifying a new folder to export to.
However by removing the filepath from the export options and leaving it blank, I was able to output another file again, it just dropped into a folder within the windows folders.
Not sure if this is to do with google drive backup and sync or not.

Yes, I was able to confirm that for some reason any folder synced with Google Drive won’t let you output a render from the capture movie setting. Using render queue seems to work just fine
