I use Windows Photos to trim video clips of my son playing baseball for him to post on social media. It's worked fine until this season. Now it will not let me save the edited files. This is my workflow:
My wife records the clips on her phone, a Pixel 5A (MP4 files). I copy those files to my unRAID server. From there I open them with Windows Photos, choose Edit > Trim, trim the clip, then click Save As. Here is the error I get:
Funny thing is when you go to save the edited file you are already saving it as a copy! I've tried all of the suggestions I've seen elsewhere on the web but no luck. The files are not protected. I made sure I have permission for full control of the files. I can trim them on the phone but it's just easier to do it on the computer. Any ideas? I've tried other software too, but Windows Photos was just so easy to use for this purpose. Part of me thinks Windows broke it on purpose to make you use their new Clipchamp app, but it requires you to sign in and I'm holding out as long as I can on stuff like that.
