  • Compressor Can’t Render

    Posted by Ken Bennett on December 19, 2017 at 5:18 pm

    Trying to get my 75 min video processed as MP4 through Compressor 4.3.2 but it no longer is working. It just hangs at “Waiting”. It never starts to render. Then it just shuts down.

    Can’t seem to get FCPX to render MOV or MP4 files either. It starts to process then after awhile the Mac with reboot. No files rendered.

    What the hell is going on? If I can’t process my projects for delivery…. Well, you know the rest of that story.

    Suggestions?

    Downloaded Compressor 4.4. Loaded same MOV file in the render an MP4. It did say Processing…. but looking deeper it still say Waiting… after 30 mins. So Compressor 4.4 does not work here.

    I have now tired several different file to render in Compressor 4.4. None of them will start to render out. These files ranges for 15 seconds to 75 minutes.

    So eitherCompressor 4.4 is toast from the start or there is something seriously wrong in Denmark.

    Any ideas? THX

    Try creating a new user and test Compressor.
