  • Compressor 3 Issue

    Posted by Mark Maness on June 21, 2007 at 4:20 pm

    I’ve noticed an issue with Compressor 3 that I’m not sure if its my system or a bug in the software.

    I have fully installed Apple Qmaster with the render node installed. If I use Compressor 3 and compress using my four instances (setup in System Preferences), I’ve noticed that sometimes my final output is messed up. Meaning that sometimes my video (and this only applies to the video) is either slowed down or it blinks in and out like some of the frames of video weren’t rendered.

    Has anybody seen this, yet?

    IU’ve notcied sometimes if the computer is workibng on something else in the backgorund it can cause glitches in the render. Be sure that no other backgorund process are eating up tons of resoruces while compressor is running

    Since wer’e on the topic has anyone else gotten the bug where compressor freezes at like 98% completion and never moves?

    Yes, I have seen this, too. But, my favorite is the render past 100%. I have had projects that render to 135%. Sounds strange, doesn’t it.

    It’s nice to know that Compressor gives us a 135%!
