Where are you trying to write your animation frames?

Hi, i also added the image folder to the sequencer, after that i want to make from it a movie file.
with those options:
Output: -H.264
Encoding:-Quicktime and Codec: H.264

then hit Animation and its says that 'Could not open the file for writing'.

If this help:

Sounds like a permissions problem

I stumbled upon a similar problem and realized it just happened if I tried to render something I had already rendered. Deleting the previous render movie solved the problem for me.

I'm not sure what the real problem is, but my best guess is something related to file permissions. Just a blind-shot.
