  Compressor 3

  Posted by Sanjay Chalisey on June 5, 2007 at 8:07 am

  Hi All,

  I have just installed Final Cut Studio 2 (upgrade) and now I’m encountering problems using Compressor 3.

  In short, each time I submit a job(with either a preset or a setting of my own) the following message appears:

  ‘Failed: 3 x INVOKING…’

  I have no idea what this means and haven’t a clue as to a solution!

  Would appreciate any help.

  Thanks very much in advance.

  Sounds like an install problem… might try trashing the plist for Compressor… if this fails, I’d reinstall it.

  If you did a clean install of the upgrade, I’ll wager this goes away too… (i.e. it’s not happening here after a totally clean install of OS et all…)

  Any luck? I’m getting the same error.

  I will try to re-install…

  I’ve been advised to do a complete reinstall.

  So, trying this now – so fustrating!

  I re-installed FCS2, but it didn’t help.

  Interestingly, if I create a new user account, Comp3 works fine for that user.

  So – you would think I must have a corrupt preference file or soemthing right? I trashed everything I could find in my User folder – preferences, custom presets, etc… but nothing helped.

  Apple Pro Apps Support is looking into it and says they will get back to me by Monday.

  Luckily, I have Squeeze to fall back on – but the workflow isn’t as smooth.

  David or sanjchal,

  Any success?

  I also have the said issue with Compressor 3 and Batch Monitor? Everything I submitted failed.

  I used FCS 2 upgrade and didn’t opt for a ‘clean-install’.

  I deleted Compressor 3 and Apple QMaster and now I want to re-install these items

  Sorry – no success as of yet.

  I’m still waiting on an answer from Apple Pro Video Support.

  I’m 99% sure a clean OS install and a clean FCP6 install would do it – but who has time for that, right?

  Luckily, I have Squeeze, which I’m using in the meantime…
