    I am trying to export my fcp timeline into Compressor but when I get it in there and choose the settings and destination it gives me a red flag and says that the “source/destination you have specified does not have read write access”. My source/destination is a Western Digital 500 gb external HD which I use for all my videos and fcp projects. I checked all of its settings to make sure everything is set to read and write, and it is. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

    cant help too much with the read/write aspects, but i never export from FCP via Compressor.

    it’s a lot simpler to export a QuickTime Movie from FCP,
    use “Current Settings”,
    then bring that into compressor.

    then Compressor can do it;s thing, and not tie up FCP for hours.

    another thing might be if your sequence, or possibly tour destination has the / character in it’s name.
    that can confuse things in a Mac.
