  • Compressor 3.5 will not encode

    Posted by Ken Slater on February 12, 2015 at 10:20 pm

    Hi guys,
    Compressor 3.5 will not allow the final ‘submit’ to start encoding a standard ProRes (or any .mov) file to any of the formats listed. The submit button is grayed out and I have not been able to find any way to submit a video.

    I use Compressor every day and nothing has changed on my system. 12 core (pre trash can) OS 10.7.5.

    Thanks for any help.
    Ken

    Might be time to use this excellent tool from Digital rebellion

    I am running FCP 7 without trouble (so far) in Yosemite 10.10.2, after a clean install of both the OS and FCP 7 on a new hard drive (Mac Pro 2010). Tried to engage Compressor and it’s not even an option (grayed out). So I have tried the digital repair software and it’s requesting I re-install compressor and q master. Fine. But does that mean I have to do a new install of my complete FCP program (which, because it was a set of upgrades, means starting back at FCP 5). Or can I fine tune the re-install to just FCP 3.5 from the studio 2 discs.

    Also, I’m wondering if I made an error in installing the apple pro codecs update from the last year or so that I resisted in 10.6.8 but did once I’m moved to Yosemite. If so, how can I uninstall that update if that is the problem, or do I need to wipe the drive and start all over again.

    Thanks Michael
    The digitalrebelllion repair software did the trick and I didn’t even loose my dozen or so presets.
    Thanks again!!
