Thanks Tom! I will definitely use this process. I still can’t figure out the problem I’m having with not being able to submit by batch in Compressor.

Are you able to save it out as a QT movie file, then drag that to DVDPS? DVDPS-WHAT IS THAT? DO
YOU MEA, EXPORT OUT OF FCP AS A QT THEN DRAG IT INTO COMPRESSOR? IF SO, YES

Will it export to any flavor of QT w/o problems? – YES. DIRECTLY OUT OF FCP

Is it HD content in the edit? – NO 720×486 ASPECT RATION

Is there a codec in your video that Compressor may not recognize? I’M NOT SURE. I USED COMPRESSOR
WITH MPEG 2 HIGH QUALITY BEFORE, AND IT WORKED.

Can you export through Compressor using another preset? – NO. I CAN GO THRU THE WHOLE PROCESS
OF EXPORTING THRU COMPRESSOR, BUT IT WILL NOT LET ME SUBMIT THE BACTCH. THAT’S
WHEN I GET THE, “UNABLE TO CONNECT TO BACKGROUND PROCESS” WINDOW.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN. “BACKGROUND PROCESS”?

I ALSO REINSTALLED COMPRESSOR FROM MY FCP DISK AND FCP PROGRAM. STILL NO GOOD! COULD THERE BE A PROBLEM IN MY PREFERENCES? IF SO, APON REINSTALLING, WOULDN’T THAT FIX IT? I’M AT A LOSS?

I’m trying to exportingout of FCP 4.5 thru Compressor 1.2 a MPEG-2 120min High Quality Encode video & AIFF Stereo 16Bit 44.1kHz audio file. I’ve actually used my Compressor sometime before for something similar and I was successful. Now I’m having problems?

Thanks for the help. I tried it, but it only works for vers. 3.

I figured it out. It did have to do with the clip positioning & duration in the timeline.

Thanks for the reply Stuart,

No, I don’t want the still images to change but they are. My film strip has 4 frames to it. I’ve applied an offset filter so it will continuously loop. So, in my setup, I’m basically reusing those frames over & over to give all 100 stills a frame.Think of the effect I’m going for like, your standing looking down a set of railroad tracks. A train passes by next to you and in each window (frame) is a still picture, You see that window (frame) & the still picture until it disappears in the far distance. But what’s happening is, before that (frame) picture disappears, another picture replaces it in that window (frame). I want that original picture to say viewing until in fades out. It might be something to do with my time line and offsetting the placement of the clips, but I’m not sure and how I could go about it.

Right now I have 4 clips stacked directly on top of each other creating 1 stack. (Each clip in the stack is assigned to it’s own frame in the film strip clip I created). Each clip is the same length and each stack is butted up to one another. (the head of next stack or 4 clips is at the tail of the current ones playing.) So I have approximately 25 stacks butted head to tail that spreads out to about 2min 5sec length. Know what I mean? It’s when the time line indicator comes to the next stack of clips that the picture changes in the frame window but the frames haven’t completed their entire pass. It’s like the speed that my film strip needs to run faster so the picture (frame) will be out of view before the nest stack of pictures come to view. Thing is, the film strip & the pictures in the frames are not independent at that point.

Thanks Michael! I actually found out that I needed to upgrade my memory. So after upgrading that, the Media Composer starts to open, but just as it does, I get a message stating: “bus error” in thread “Main Thread” at address Oxbfffe740. Then it quits out. Is this refferring to my systems Bus Speed? My G4 is running a Bus Speed of 167 MHz.

I found that my system needed more memory, but now after adding the required memory, I won’t open an gives me a: “bus error” in thread “Main Thread” at address Oxbfffe740. Is this referring to my systems bus speed? My G4’s Bus Speed is 167MHz.

Thanks for the help,

Found my problem…. not enough memory. I solved that issue, but now I get this “bus error” in thread “Main Thread” at address Oxbfffe740 box that won’t allow me to open the software?
