    [Rocco Richardson] “however, I am unable to see any custom compressor presets I have created in compressor.”

    You can click the share button above the timeline, or open the “destinations” preferences tab, and choose “add destination” Then, in the choices you’ll see, double click on “compressor settings”‘ You’ll see all your settings and can then add them to the destinations list. After that they’ll show up in the sharing pop up menu. 🙂

    thanks for the reply.

    I am able to navigate through all of that, and know how to do it. What my issue is, the custom settings vs. the apple presets that appear when you click on compressor settings within share in FCPX 10.0.6 I have custom settings that I have created in Compressor, that will not show up in the custom settings folder in FCPX. Apple setttings lists 10 groups, Custom Settings lists 0.

    OK that’s weird… All mine showed up after the update… Is it possible you have 2 versions of compressor installed or something?

    I don’t have Compressor 4, but if I put my custom Compressor 3.5.3 .setting files into

    Users/Alex/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings/

    I can use them in custom Compressor destinations,

    This problem is still happening for me even after all suggestions. I have FCPX 10.0.6 and Compressor 4.0.5 and I have looked in library/application settings/compressor/settings and all my custom presets are there. I see them in Compressor. I have tried installing FCPX and Compressor from scratch on a different machine, and NO ISSUES, HOWEVER, when trying to uninstall and REinstall on the first machine, still the same issue. How can you COMPLETELY remove FCPX and Compressor as if it was NEVER on your system? I have used FCS remover and it does not seem to work either, since when I reinstall, my previous settings have come back!

    My issue is this:

    I Fixed the issue. I went back into FCS remover and this time checked BOTH Compressor 4 AND Compressor 3, I guess for whatever reason some settings were still lingering from that. But after uninstalling completely and reinstalling, I can now see the Custom Settings in the Destinations under share for FCPX.

    Hi I’ve the same problem with FCPX 10.1 and Compressor 5.1.

    Is there any way of getting my custom settings to show without uninstalling and re-installing?
