  • FCP Freezing up when sending to Compressor

    Posted by Bobby Holbrook ii on April 7, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    Hey Guys,
    I”m exporting a DVCPRO HD 16/9 sequence w/TC reader to compressor and using the fastest 90min. encode (B/C it’s just for offline).
    I “send to compressor” and the rainbow wheel in FCP starts spinning and even though compressor will let me set my source for the assets, when I submit it, compressor freezes up too. WHAT’s the Deal?
    I’ve been using FCP since Ver.2 and have never had this much trouble with the program. Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks

    Bobby,

    I’ve had this so many times and despite all the “solutions” i’ve heard of nothing has really fixed this for me. So, I export the clip as a self-contained, same as source, QT out of FCP, then take the QT to Compressor.

    This may not be the correct answer as such, but at least you’ll get the job finished.
