Final Cut Pro, Compressor 3 issue [videos not encoding]
 

Hey Guys,

I can't seem to get this fixed so that compressor 3 works right.
What ever jobs i send to compressor they just end up never getting processed and it just seems to sit there in qmaster.

I use a mac book pro and 4 gig ram

hope someone can see your thread in that election Jungle

Yea not the best time to post as everyone is on one for sure! :helpme

Are you on the latest version of compressor? If not try updating it..may fix you problem.

Bump for Greg.

Yup Latest version and sadly it does not fix it.

I'd try the apple board

Greg,

I will have my IT guy hit you up when he gets in.....he works on this all day....
what is your IM on AIM or SKYPE?

Personally I find Compressor to be very very slow .. it has taken me in the past approx 16:1 compression time. I was compressing XDCAM footage to dvd. a 90 min movie took approx 18 - 20 hours

What format are you exporting too ?

when we compress to flash it takes 4 hours for 60 minutes give or take
WMV does it in half the time of the clip size

Are you trying to use qmaster on a single machine? It is really meant for cluster computing and can create more overhead than needed. I would just submit the jobn to the local machine instead of the cluster you created.

Use another program for compression....I forgot what the name is...Peace

Can we do wok on mac and compress in Canopus on PC?

Not a problem . I cut on Mac (.mov) .. and compress to fvl on Sorrenson (pc)

as long as your PC compressor can handle mov's or Mpegs, your good to go
