I tried to render an animation but I keep getting this error, also tried to export frame but got the other error.

when googling the error I came about a thread where choosing a video format solved the issue instead of Auto.

but I went through all formats and same error on each

I think in your case it's more probably because CC doesn't have the rights (by default) to create a file under the protected 'Program files' folder.

You should either change the output directory, or start CC with admin rights if you really need to export to this folder.

Thanks! that was the issue
much appreciated
