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?

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 anyone recommend a good external monitor for this camera at a resonable price?
