  Send to Compressor crashes

  Posted by Chris Torella on May 28, 2014 at 2:47 pm

  so i FCPX seems to crash any time i send to compressor

  i have a feeling my destinations layout might be the problem – can i trash that ? and where can i find it?

  i’ve look inside the fcp bundle but dont see any likely candidates?

  thanks

  No good reason to “Send to compressor”. It’s the slowest exporting method. Your best bet is to create the desired preset in Compressor and then add it to your “Shared destination” in FCP X. You can then export from FCP X directly.

  Anyway, Digital Rebellion’s Compressor Repair usually does the trick to fix Compressor-related issues (works with 4.1.1):

  If it doesn’t, the culprit should be somewhere in /YourUser/Library/Application Support/Compressor. You can delete everything in that folder and empty your trash (all settings and destinations will be lost).
