          At a minimum to help, the other users around here would need to know your exact OS/version, Speedgrade version, and what preset ...

              Hi there,

               

              That means the folder you are trying to save the look has only permissions for Read Only.

              If you are using Windows 8, try to create a new Custom Tab in the Look Browser, and save you look in a Custom Folder, instead of the installation folder.

               

              Thanks,

              Fran

                  Did you try to save in a custom tab?

                      Hi,

                       

                      Use the plus icon on the right side of the Look Browser to create a new tab, and then navigate with the path tree to your custom folder.

                       

                      I also recommen you to have a look at this small tutorial:

                        Hi,

                        I am getting the same problem even after setting up my custom folder. Actually the default Look presets which are already there in Adobe Speedgrade are working fine.But when i am using the Looks which i have bought newly ( Adobe CC Speedlooks Complete Bundle Big, Clean, Matrix ) are not working ( Error : the look could not be saved because the current folder is read-only ), when i  open in Adobe Premiere (Direct link to Speedgrade) it is showing nothing, if i use the default Looks it is working fine in Adobe Premiere also. i think the problem is with Adobe CC Speedlooks Complete Bundle . Because of this error i am unable to move forward. It is very very urgent for me. So plz let me know the solution for this bug asap.

                         

                        i am working on Windows 7, Updated Adobe Creative Cloud versions.

                          Sankoor,

                           

                          I've two possible fixes ... first, as noted in other threads, make sure that Speedgrade is set to run in "Administrator Mode" by right-clicking the icon for it on your desktop, then making sure that the shield-icon/thingie is showing next to "Run as administrator".

                           

                          Next, if that doesn't do it ... you can always use the Windows "explorer" (the built-in file-manager app) to navigate to the folder where your presets live, do a ctrl-a to select all, then right-click and click on "Properties" at the bottom of that box, then see to it that "read only" is NOT checked, then apply. That should take read-only off those files and get you going, though some folks pale at making such a change. I do this sort of thing quite a bit ...

                              Sankoor,

                               

                              Have your found the folders on your hard-drive for Adobe programs, where Speedgrade's and PrPro's "native" LUT's/looks live? When you see the contents of those two folders, the names of the contents look just like on the list for them in Speedgrade's LUT pop-up dialog thingie.

                               

                              If you find those on the hard drive (not through the programs themselves) then try copying one of your custom ones to that folder, and see if you can then use that one properly ...

                                sometimes you can never get rid of read only in Win 7 and 8 despite taking full ownership of folder....

                                 

                                the solution is to run speedgrade as admin and all works fine
