Compressor not working right with FC...

[bfsound]

I finished up project and im putting it on the web and id like to burn dvds as well.

When i export using compressor, compressor opens fine and i make a DVD export and a web export and when i click submit i keep getting "unable to connect to background process" errors. I tried rebooting both apps, the computer and in compressor resetting "the background process" And nothing works!

Whats going on?

I have same issue. I Binged the problem and found one item on it that involves a lot of trashing installation files and re-installing fcp. Ugh.

damn

i thought the install went good... guess something had to be currupt

drop your compressor plist.It is in your preferences folder on your mac.That might help

Trashing the .plist is a good thought. Compressor in FCS2 has a known issue with background processing, and often the easy fix is to launch Compressor on its own and go to Compressor>Reset Background Processing.

That said, I've never been a fan of using Compressor within FCP. It's slow, it's clunky, and it's often buggy. Export a self-contained FCP movie at current project settings, then use Compressor as a standalone app to compress your files.

Again awesome advice from C2V :thumbsup:

Im using studio 5.1 and never had issues using compressor on my osx 10.4 mdd, but on my leopard G5 its giving me issues. so ill try what you suggested and report back.
