I have looked on the internet, apple support, and wikipedia. I cannot find a history of Compressor releases anywhere, but I do not have the program in my earlier version of FCP. My os is 10.3.9. Panther. Is there a version of compressor that will run on 10.3.9? If I upgrade higher it will wipe out 20K of equipment and software.

thx

I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but it is truly time to update this software.

Hey that is super helpful. Yeah, Angie, I noticed that as some of the layers in the 45 layer comp were popping off and on erratically (behind another element) on some frames, i went through and set all the disks to Z -1 above the black background. But it wasn’t enough. Some elements were still popping off occasionally, so I carefully pushed each problem layer from a Z position of -1 to -1.1 to fix the problem.

Then as I did this adjustment, another object would be pop off, even though it’s position had nothing to do with the object that I just adjusted by a tenth. Then I adjusted the next object on the popoff, perhaps to Z 1.2. Once that object reappeared, another one would disappear, so i tweaked the next and the next. Finally after several of these adjustments, all the objects were appearing properly. Mind you this is just on one frame of a 6 second comp. The behavior of the program’s 3d function on complex comps is somewhat irrational, but luckily it’s not so bad that one can’t come up with a workaround.

thx

I think I’ve worked out the answer. For me the solution is to use scale instead of zoom if I want to maintain stacking order.

Oh no, you may be misunderstanding me, my FCP is SD. I do not have HD capability.
