Why cant i export to compressor?
Im using FCP 5.1 and Compressor 2.0, editing DVCPROHD 1080 30p footage. When i select my sequence and click file> export the compressor option is the only option grayed out, and i cant select it. Am i doing something wrong?

With FCP open i select my sequence in the browser window. Then i click file> export> and “using compressor” is the only setting that isnt available.
I am running this on a new 2 ghz dual core intel iMac with 2gb RAM and 500 GB hard drive (of which i have about 400 gigs of space left). Could this be a glitch?

Can you export a ref file and use Compressor separately? If Compressor runs separately but not inside FCP trash FCP prefs and retry. If it still doesn’t run then I would be suspicious of the Compressor install.
Also try to run permissions from Disk Utility.

I can use compressor seperately and it works, although it seems very slow, but im not sure if this is abnormal. Can u explain in more detail how to trash FCP prefs and how to run permissions from disk utility?

To trash prefs use this little gem.

As for Disk Utility go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
Select your drive and click on the button that says “Repair Permissions”Hope this helps-
