Thanks Craig,
Seems I misread the problem but am not out of the woods yet. The error I described was the result of sourcing from a write-protected client drive… and I had the default target set to source… so that won’t work. Now that I’m wise to that (changed the default target) I’m still wrestling with something I encountered originally but never mentioned in my post.
When I try to apply a setting (drag & drop ProRes 422 preset) to the selected list of Canon MVI Qts (h.264) in my batch window (about 175) there is a really long delay where the cursor has a green plus sign and is thinking/processing. I’m waiting on it now because the setting has not “taken” and I can’t start the batch. At this point it’s been over 15 minutes and the green plus cursor is now a spinning beach ball… why is it taking this long? Just not used to these delays, any reason to think that Compressor 4 would do a better job?
Thanks in advance
Paul
