  • Compressor fails with error -120

    Posted by Tom Step on January 29, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    I’m making a stream file from a qt file (exported from fcp) and Compressor fails with Status: Failed: QuickTime error -120. File plays fine in QTPro and FCP. Tried to change output folders, no help. Made new custom setting from apple sets, still no go. Used a file that worked previously, now does not work… Any ideas?

    Also is there a depository of QT errors for FCS?

    Hi Tom

    Did you ever get an answer to this problem? I too out of the blue am getting error -120, even for projects that worked fine just the day before. It looks like anything I put through compressor is basically failing 🙁

    Thanks in advance,
    Dorit

    I think I ultimately chucked the preferences and restarted the computer. It’s been a while so I don’t remember, but I’ll keep this info handy,

    Many thanks,

    Dorit
