Maybe a dumb question, but how do I rewrap the files? That seems like the best option for my situation.

Unfortunately the FW port on the deck fried a long time ago. $1500 to replace the FW card wasn’t worth it while the IO HD was working. I’ll try the utility you suggested–thanks!

Alright. I’ve made some progress. Compressor is looking for QT Components in the ~/library/ directory but they exist only in the /system/library/. I copied the entire folder over and Compressor launches without issue.
Not sure the root of the issue, but at least I’ve taken a step forward.
Thanks for the help Jeremy.

Compressor 4.1 has never opened. I used FCPX/Compressor to cut 4 x 30 minute shows last summer.
When you say, wipe it all, do you mean all the pro apps or reinstall OS as well?

Still not working, but after reading Apple’s upgrade recommendations, I think I complied with them at the time.
I tried Compressor Repair and also FCS remover–though I wasn’t exactly sure which components to remove from FCS. I still have DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack Pro, and QMaster installed from FCS. From what I read, Compressor 4.1 has QMaster baked-in and doesn’t associate with separate program as in prior versions.

Thanks for the link. I screwed that up. I previously had FCS on this computer, but removed it AFTER installing FCPX in late 2012–can’t remember which program I used to uninstall. There must be a stray file(s) that are in conflict? What would you suggest at this point–keeping in mind that I can install FCS on a separate computer and don’t need to keep a legacy version on this MP. In other words, what’s the best way to make way for a clean install of the pro apps?

Thanks for the advice – is it necessary to tidy-up the render folder if I’ve already done many renders? My performance, as you might have assumed from my OP, is miserable.

In one instance, it seems like if a compound clip is retimed, it cannot be broken apart – even if the timing is set back to 100%. Still trying to figure out the others. But, by that logic, once a compound clip is “locked” perhaps it cannot be “unlocked.”
-
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. I’ve tried slipping it to it’s limit towards heads and tails. When I open the compound clip in the timeline editor, it’s all the way to the left. No matter what I do to the last clip, the gray area remains 1 frame longer than sequence.
-
OK. Now this is interesting. You’re right. The compound clips that cannot be broken apart have a component that extends 1 frame beyond the gray area. With compound clips that break apart OK, all components are confined to the gray area. However, when I try to trim the “offending” clip to bring it within bounds, the gray area constricts as well. So, regardless of what I do, we’re still 1 frame too long.
Two questions:
First, how the heck did these clips get out of whack to begin with? From my perspective, when I create a compound clip, all components of it are, by definition, within the bounds of the compound clip, right? At that point, I cannot adjust individual components without expanding the clip.
Second, any thoughts on how to remedy these clips without rebuilding them?
