Compressor in App Store

I saw that Compressor is now available in the app store...with a new colored logo. I am just curious if anyone knows if there has been any updates to this since the last release? Or is it just that you can now purchase it without the whole studio?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse Korosi

Why they ask me get a compressor from App Store to export video from final cut since I use mavericks

How can I export video from final cut can't do again since I have got maverick

What happens when you have the project active in the timeline and press the Share button?

I can't find my serial number for the new Compressor that I got from the app store

ive been trying to export a final cut file to a .mov. i keep getting a codec error and recently got compressor however when i try to export using compressor it asks for a serial number that i dont have because the app store never gave me one.

Compressor 4 does not give a serial number, it only runs on Mac's that are "authorized" for your iTunes/App Store account.
If it's asking for a s/n, sounds like you're launching an old, unregistered Compressor 3.5 version. Launch from the Applications menu, not from the Dock.

I've got a Mac Book Pro 17" 2008 with FCS 2. Compressor 3 only gives me MOV-1 which are no use so I've bought Compressor 4 from the App store: it says the graphic card is not compatible. Can I install a new card on my mbp? If so which is best? Thanks John

I've got a 17" Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard and Final Cut Studio 2 . Compressor 3 is only giving MOV-1 which are no use to me. So I've bought Compressor 4 from the App store which it says isn't compatible with the graphics card on my 2008 mbp. Can I
Install a new graphics card on my computer if so which one? If not can I solve the MOV-1 problem ?
Thanks in anticipation

HT4722 Hi do I buy a second licence of Compressor on the app store so I can share processing. Want to use the same itunes account.

Hi do I buy a second licence of Compressor on the app store so I can share processing. Want to use the same itunes account.

If you're referring to distributed processing on multiple computers and if they're yours, you don't need another license. Just sign in with your account info and download C4 to the other computer.
If that is not what ypu're referring to, please give a more complete description and perhaps someone can steer you in the right direction.
Good luck.

There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20). This sign pops up then I trying to update my compressor. Something wrong with App Store or with my mac?

Sign out of the App Store and sign back in. Try to update again.

How do I reinstall Compressor 4 from the App store?

I am at my wits end with C4. I think it's a piece of junk and will not work. I am now trying to reinstall it to see if that helps but I can't see how to do it since it came from the App store. Please help!

Hi Andy, yep you can remove MAC app store apps as described in this thread. (maybe not need to though) Yes you just ALSO manually go and remove these files/objects as well which pretty much does what a formal uninstaller would do... Yes... You COULD just manuall remove/delete these compress.app objects first...
/Applications/Compressor.app
~/Library/Application Support/Compressor (this is where all your customised destination and settings are maintained)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.help
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Compressor.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Compressor
oh and while your there you ought to get rid of ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster too!
Yeah you could do that and then you COULD go back to the MAC APP store and install it again (no purchase btw).
yes you could do all that and still end up with Compressor not working like you want.
BUT I WOULDN'T do it as a first response to locate and identify what is causing the issues your are experiencing.. fix those first......
I'd propose that you might look at a less drastic approach. Recently there has been some over xmas / new year activity on this Compressor forum that has identified failures and non functioning stuff in Compressor and Qmaster. THese issues are most likley limited to the particular workflow and environment.
Thus I'd propose you might begin simply by isolating and identifying the non functioning bits of compressor.app and your workflow and setup to those on this forum. Chances are that you will have it working sonner than later.
I'd further propose to you that if you looked throiugh ALL the items in the package contenntof /Applications/Comressor.app that you would NOT FIND ANY ITEM that has been modified recently that was not from a software update. In short, a reinstallation implies tha the .APP and relevant items have been corrupted somehow and need to be reinstated/fresh from an installation.
I'd also reckon that if you can post what particulaly doesn't work with Compressor.ap V4 and Qmaster V4 (if you use clusters) that someone or group on this firum can likely help ya out.
Yes its likley that ripping out Compressor.app V4 adn its associated structures I have identified above will likley let you initially use it. HOevere it is more than likley some state residual state information or some workflow item (a crook bit of source... who knows??) will likely lead you back to the situation you are in now.
AS been posted many times by various compressor.app V4 users on tis forum, you ought to look initially at the logs in:
~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster/Logs
/var/logs (via console.app)
There are some very 3rd party good tools for doing a lot of the "cleanout FCP SUITE stuff.apps". Chances are at this stage you dont need to go that route..
ANother positive reason for this approach is that you will gain an insight into Compress.app + Qmaster + Motion +FCPX marriage. You'll probbaly also turn soemthign up that is helpful to the rest of us. This happens a great deal me think!
Check out the logs above and also itemise what the issues actually are.
You could also search (trawl) this forum and also that at COW for compressor related issues. Choose wisey what you review as there is a lot if uinformed workarounds out there too..
Post your results so it may help others.

Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'.

Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'. I followed suggestions from the apple site to clear various library files - mainly relating to Qmaster but this didn't make any difference, an iwonder igf perhaps this is the reason for the compressor 4 programme not working. Thanks

You need to export a self-contained video from FCP 6. Import the self-contain video into Compressor 4.

Removing pirated mac app store apps

Ok, so here's the situation. Pretty sure my son or one of his friends installed a cracked version of fcp x motion and compressor onto my computer. I'm fairly certain, because I found the instructions in my downloads folder on how to do this. Here's the snag...I have a license for it! I just hadn't installed it yet. Now, my app store says that FCP Motion and comp are installed despite having deleted them, i've removed every possible trace that i can think of for the stuff, mac app store support, application support and prefs, but for some reason, my mac app store will not recognize that it's gone. I want to wipe this crap clean so i can use my legitimate licenses and have the stuff update the way it's supposed to be.
Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone may offer.

I just want to point this out. Illegally downloaded software is routinely laced with back door access to your computer, key loggers and other malware. I hate to say it, but I'd back up anything that can't be reinstalled from your original disks and erase the drive, then reinstall the OS and everything from scratch.

IDVD is not on my system and I cannot download it from the App store. How Do I burn my home movies to DVD?

iDVD is not in my macBook pro and I need an iDVD or a good program to burn my home movies on DVD with menus. I cannot download iDVD or any other professional programs like DVD Studioor ... from App store. Please help me how do I burn my short films to DVD? Also please tell me any other free programs alternate it for burn DVD with putting menus.

Hi
iDVD is not or never been free !
there are up-dates but still You need the original iDVD v. 7.x.x to use them.
Best of program - not sold by Apple any more but on Amazon or e-bay in boxed versions of iLife 11
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

App Store Doesn't See Installed App

Hi Everyone,
I have the following hardware - iMac 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 8 GB Ram.
This computer is over three years old, so this summer, I reformatted the hard drive, then installed Mountain Lion - I am running OS X 10.8.2
I reinstalled all of my apps but have noticed the following problems. Any programs that I installed via the App Store, do not update themselves. In fact, they don't show as installed.
For example, I purchased Final Cut Pro X and Compressor 4. For the last two updates, FCPro X doesn't auto update. For today, I saw that FCPro 10.0.7 was out. I went to the App Store and clicked on updates, but it didn't show FCPro needing updating.
So, I went to Purchases, scrolled down, and saw that both Final Cut Pro X and Compressor 4 had "Install" highlighted - vs update. This happened a couple months ago when I had to update both of these programs.
I am going ahead and reinstalling FCProX, but would rather have a fix that just installs the updates.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Marlo

I just tried that and got the message that "I don't have the appropriate permissions"
Some additional information ...
Before I reformatted my hard drive, I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then, before I upgraded the computer, I used MacWorld's technique of creating an install disc with an external USB drive.
I booted off of that drive, formatted and installed Mountain Lion.
In addition, when I go to the App Store, under Purchases, Mountain Lion's bar shows "Install" And even though I just reinstalled FCPro X and it now shows the current version of 10.0.7, it also shows "Install"
Any ideas? I'm thinking about just installing Mountain Lion again and see if that clears up the problem.

App Store Issues After Mavericks Update

Hi. I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks yesterday.
When I run the App Store app, it shows that IMovie is available for an update. When I click the update button, I get a message saying my IMac (bought in late 2007) doesn't have the video card requirements for the new version of IMovie. The problem is that every time I run the App Store app, it still lists IMovie as an update. Is there a way to prevent it for continuing to list IMovie as an update?
I also own IWork '09. After I updgraded to Mavericks yesterday, I was able to download the new Pages, Numbers and Keynote for free. Apparently, the download also slightly updated the versions from IWork '09. Today, I ran the App Store app again, and it redownloaded the updated '09 versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. I have no idea why it downloaded them all again. Is there any way to stop it from doing it again?
Thanks.

I had this issue on 3 different macs when upgrading to Mavericks.
I resolved it by deleting the Compressor app and the "Compressor" and "Apple Qmaster" folders from Library\Application Support\, emptying the trash, rebooting the computer and reinstalling from the App Store.
Unfortunately this did delete all of my encoding presets and qmaster cluster/settings but the app is up and running again.
Also Get Info on the Compressor app after reinstalling and disable App Nap.
Good luck!

Lion won't even begin downloading from app store?!?!

I purchased it in the app store and it immediately debited my account for the cost (of course).
When I click on install I simply get "0 bytes of 3.74 GB - Less than a minute remaining" AND IT NEVER CHANGES.
After a while I get red letters next to the INSTALL icon that simply states "An error has occurred" (Really? Derrr...) and the icon disappears from my launch bar.
If I click INSTALL again, the red message stays there, the Lion icon in the launcher just sits at "waiting..."
So now support simply states "well, you'll have to keep trying or take it into a service center". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
It's been OVER 12 hours of absolutely NOTHING for $30.
Has anyone had this issue? How can it be fixed? I've waited patiently for Lion since the Keynote and now I can't even get it to download!
Remember that line Steve said in the Keynote... we've all heard it before... "it JUST WORKS"... I cry foul, FOUL!
I'm a NEW Apple owner. Not such a great first impression I have to say.
Help?

Hi Thanks for the update. Apple say my speed is fine I have ADSL and have downloaded FCP 10 , motion, compressor all without any issues.
For me to drive to a store is about 80k and then likely I would have to leave it with them, so 4 trips and a BIG disruption for me. There has to be an easier solution to this, after all its just a download file!!
I have plugged in the Ethernet cable as well.
PS I am in New Zealand South Island Central Otago Apple stores are not that common :-(

Can't sign in on App store or iTunes

Just updated Mavericks and now I can't sign in to App Store or iTunes. I know it's the correct password; same one I used to sign in here.
Also, software update won't update Compressor for me. I tried trashing the app (as advised by Apple support) but App Store still shows it as something I need to buy.
Ideas?

Downloading Logic Pro 9 from Mac App Store

What exactly will I be getting from the Logic Pro package available on the mac app store? How exactly does it differ from the full studio version (everything minus MainStage ?)
I am following David Nahmani's Logic Pro 9 book ... does the mac app store version contain have all the jam packs and loops (if not, how does one download/access the extra content?)
I was ready to go through Nahmani's book, but couldn't even access the "Trip Hop" loops in chapter one in the version I have...thinking about getting the mac app store version if it's all inclusive.
Thanks

The Appstore version of Logic Pro is the same as that in the Studio version, but you do need to download all the Additional Content from within Logic (see the Logic Pro menu).
The Studio package included MainStage, Soundtrack Pro (now discontinued), Waveburner (discontinued), Compressor (now available separately on the Appstore), plus a bunch of other bits and pieces.
The Nahamani book includes some 'extra' Appleloops to cater for those without the full set of JamPacks

Hmm.... so you already have the "Logic Studio" version, with all the content installed????
