You have no license directory which suggests your SketchUp install is missing read/write permissions.
You can fix this by running the SketchUp installer using Run as Administrator and choosing Repair when prompted.

Also remember that working on any program's files that reside away from your computer also risks losing data when saving - which is irretrievable.
Always work on a version of the file on your computer, saving it there as you work.
When that work is completed save a copy of the file over onto the 'remote' location.
Having your version on your computer is no harm and a useful safety net if you get problems with the remote copy getting made.
Making a remote copy of a file is far less likely to cause any issues, as the OS is very robust at doing this, whereas any ap saving remotely is more likely to have hiccups...
In your case the remote location is not accessible, but if it had been you have the ever present risk of a glitch in the file's data - potentially making it unusable...

I have just successfully installed Lib Fredo 6 and Animator as well as FFMpeg on the PC. The animator save function works perfectly on the PC. But not on the mac. On the one hand I am happy because the students work on PCs at school. On the other hand I prefer to work on the mac in my private life. My question to Fredo is whether he could take another look at it?
Thanks for all your help

If you want to get his attention you could ask directly in  this thread
Or use the @ feature so he is notified
@fredo6

Sharing more detail like the type of Mac, its OS and any ruby console errors

Writing 100s of images does take time so run it while you're cutting the grass.
Or if you've a friend/colleague with more grunt ask them to do it and still go cut the grass.

Did you try to click on the Preview Video button, to see if it generates the video?
