Nexrender: aerender Error write permissions

[JamesBotterill]

right now when I'm attempting to render I get this error, first it was because it's writing to a tmp dir but I specified a dir which should have all the permissions and I get the same issue.

aerender Error: After Effects error: Error in output for render queue item 1, output module 1. Can not create a file in directory {insert dir here}. Try checking write permissions.

could you please show your job json, and your full output log

The json is as follows

{
    "template": {
        "src": "file:///users/user/desktop/video/test.aep",
        "composition": "comp 1"
    },
    "assets": [
        {
            "src": "https://somesite.com/image1.png ",
            "type": "image",
            "layerName": "image.png"
        }
    ],
    "actions":{
        "postrender": [
            {
                "module": "@nexrender/action-encode",
                "preset": "mp4",
                "output": "encoded.mp4"
            },
            {
                "module": "@nexrender/action-copy",
                "input": "encoded.mp4",
                "output": "/Users/user/nexrender/video.mp4"
            }
        ]
    }
}

The output is as follows:

Well seems like after effects binary can't create a file in the directory. Have you tried removing that nexrender folder, and then launching the command without sudo?

[JamesBotterill]

I've attempted to launch without the sudo and everything seems to work correct.

Thanks,
