  • Compressor filenames coming out weird

    Posted by Nicholas Montgomery on April 29, 2010 at 6:54 pm

    Lately whenever I send an FCP movie file through Compressor, it comes out with about a dozen extra “points”.

    That is, ThisMovie.mov goes through Compressor (regardless of codec settings chosen) and comes out as ThisMovie……………..mov

    Not a serious problem, just a little irritating and wondering if anybody knows about it.

    Trashed prefs, still prevails.

    Just fix the file naming scheme in your Destination pane. Somehow it accidentally got messed up.

    In the Destination pane, it always appears normal. It’s only after submitting it to export that it adds the extra points.
