Compressor Does Not Work!

I have FCS2 and have upgraded everything. When I attempt to open Compressor it gets stuck at the opening pane. Before I upgraded it, it would get past that but all I saw was the top bar.
I have read several other posts and have done everything in the article that everyone refers to but it doesn't fix the problem.
I have a project to export in FCS2 and I am under a deadline. Can someone help?

I must admit guys and gals that I have also sufferred from Compressor and Motion not working at all. I have been on every thread, and followed instructions that I have seen many times on this forum, all to no avail. FCS2 has many problems, not with each application but with the way they integrate together.
I have tried talking to Apple, and even the business development manager for video products europe, and all I get is ignored. They just think the problem will go away, so if anyone from Apple is monitoring this thread, you hav ereally let us down.
Decided in the end to delete the whole lot and purchase Adobe Premier Pro, great product easy to install and works really well with all its little ad ons.
Its a shame as FCS2 is an amazing piece of software, but it was released to early before the bugs were sorted out....oh well never mind ( I do have FCS2 on my Intel Desktop and it works great, its just teh MacBook Pro)

  • Sending to compressor does not work

    Hi
    I have only installed FCpro about a week ago. It worked fine but for lack of space I had left out DVD pro and Soundtrack pro. Having made more space thanks to timemachine I the installed these as well. I applied some of the upgrades from the support site (most said that this computer doesn't need them, some worked) and eventually also found the upgrades via software update to get to FCpro 6.0.2. And somewhere here this problem came up: I am in FCpro and export to compressor. Compressor appears in the menu bar but does nothing. Neither does it do anything when I try to feed it a .mov-file. Through "window" I can open the windows but they do nothing. Somewhere i Read a mile long list of steps to repair compressor but it sounded slightly hairraising to me Maybe there is a simpler way to brings back in line...
    Most grateful for any advice,
    best regards,
    Yo

    Don't think this is your problem, but...
    You need to have only one browser tab open, in order to be able to send a file to compressor from within fcp. So don't have any bins open as tabs or windows, just the main browser window, select your sequence and then control click...

    thx in advance

    Ok,forgot Color,but and about final cut 6 ? why does not work?

    i was looking the systen requirements on fcp page
    Minimum Requirements to Install All Final Cut Studio Applications
    Final Cut Pro 6
    Macintosh 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5 = OK

  • I need H.264 / mp4. Compressor does not deliver for JW FLV Player

    Alright,
    I've been fighting this all day now. Why does QuickTime Conversion in Final Cut Pro have a way to convert to H.264 but Compressor does not? It only has "H.264 for Apple Devices". Why only for Apple devices? I don't get it.
    I'm exporting for the web. I'm using the JW FLV Media Player
    http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
    There is no Video ONLY Audio with files converted with Compressors MPEG-4 when viewed on the PC or a Web browser. MPEG-4 makes it Apple MPEG4 Decompressor which is not compatible on everything.
    I need a universal format for the web. The MP4 QT Export feature in FCP works great but there are no presets like in Compressor.
    Apple and Adobe will soon no longer be supporting FLV so I need another solution.

    Yes! Exactly, Thank you.
    Because compressor makes it Apple MPEG4 Decompressor. So anyone not using a Mac can't view the video. The H.264 presets in Compressor are worthless. They have pre-configured settings compressed so freakin' high your video looks like a swamp.
    Mov. files do not work well with JW Player because they do not buffer for Windows users and unless you are using a Mac, the compatibility is terrible for PC guys.
    For me, the best solution for JW Player is to use the QuickTime Export in Final Cut as follows:
    In Final Cut Pro ::
    1. Choose File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion.
    2. For format choose MPEG-4.
    3. Windows Shows. Choose MP4 for file format.
    4. Video format choose H.264.
    5. Data rate to 800 kbps.
    6. Adjust Image Size.
    7. AAC for Audio format/128kbps/stereo/44.1/best.
    8. Stream No.
    If anyone has a better solution for JW Player, please reply. But so far this is the best working and highest quality setting for JW Player... while still having a small file too.
    Thanks!

  • After installing lion, my screen saver does not work

    I installed lion, now my screen saver does not work.  I have tried all the hot corners, nothing. Dashboard and mission control work fine but cannot start screen saver.

  • Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

    I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
    1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
    2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
    My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
    Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
    Ron

    I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
    The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
    My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

  • For what reason on my tablet with OS Android 4.1 does not work flash on the sites?

    Hi! I recently bought a Google Nexus 7 tablet with Android 4.1 operating system and on my tablet does not work flash sites. Why adobe does not release a new version of flash for android 4.1? Why it was necessary to buy a company Macromedia, if adobe does not want to develop web technology? I think against Adobe can sue for violation of antitrust

  • My flash player does not work on my tablet.

    My flash player does not work on my tablet

    Your tablet uses Android OS.
    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

  • Dynamic image does not work in the template builder plug-in (Apex-BI Intgr)

    Hi all, I posted this problem in the BI Publisher topic but nobody responded maybe this is because mods thought this is an Apex-BI integration issue.
    If I'm in the wrong place, please do warn me.
    The documentation says:
    Direct Insertion
    Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
    ...This works obviously
    URL Reference
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{'http://image location'}
    For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
    ...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}
    Element Reference from XML File
    1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
    2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
    url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
    where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
    ...This, however, does not work.
    I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
    select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
    the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
    But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
    I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
    Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
    Regards
    PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1

    Hi Oeren,
    your steps seem basically to be correct. I have a tutorial how to do this here (in german)
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/de/community/apex/tipps/pdf-dyn-images/index.html
    when you see the URL corrently as long as you have it as a plain text field, the XML tag and the
    referencing seem to be OK.
    Here are two thought - the issue might be one of these ...
    How did you insert the dummy image into the word document - did you do it via "insert" or
    via "link to file". "Link to File" does not work - you must choose the simple "insert".
    Another one: Does your BI Server have a connection to the internet - is the proxy server correctly set ..?
    Does this help ..?
    Regards

It's a little different for events that come through Microsoft Exchange, you tap the event to bring up bubble and click the 'Details' button, and then press 'Decline' to remove the event.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • "HP laserjet professional utility" does not work in osx 10 (Yosemite)

    All the major functions of this printer work fine in Yosemite, but not the "HP laserjet professional utility"The driver shown in System Preferences/Printer for my Laserjet P1606dn is version 6.9 (I am unable to knowif this is the version provided by the latest HP printer update, which was installed via the App Store.) I note this exact issue was raised for OSX7 in November 2014, but for a diiferent model printer.  My printer is on my local wifi network, and that earlier case seemed to invove a direct USB connection. The solution offered in that thread, 4694464,may not be applicable now, so I seek advice In the panel for my 1606dn within System Preferences/Printer offers a button to launch the "HP Professional Utility", but when clicked an app launches called the "HP Professional Utility" but then nothing.  I am trying to access the printer controls that will keep it from turning itself off when idle, and the documentation says the "HP Professional Utility" will allow that change. Please advise 

    Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.
    I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day!

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips.

The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?
