Does Compressor 4 tell you how long the compression actually took?

I'm new to Compressor and compression in general.
When I "Submit" a video for compression in Compressor 4, it creates an entry in the History window that shows you when the video was submitted for compression.  It also gives an estimated time for completion while the video is being compressed (though it seems to me it fluctuates and can be wildly inaccurate).
I usually leave the computer while the compression is happening.  If it's done when I come back, I don't know how long the compression actually took.  I don't see anything in the entry in the History window that tells me that.  Is there any way to know when exactly the compression completed, or how long it took?
Thanks

Hi Jd, if you have SUBMITTED a job to a cluster (maintained by Qmaster) [not this computer], the transcode job pushed to Qmaster by compressor.app draws events and conditions in the various log in Qmaster. You can find these logs in your ~/library/application support/apple qmaster/logs for the cluster , theater vice  controller, the transcoder daemons and job controller. These contain the start , end and I believe ELAPSED times for each job . It doesn't accumulate by a BATCH .. I will stand corrected though.
Simply browse these logs this with console.app. U can ofcourse "go troppo" and write some shell, perl or apple script to develop some system management facility records for your clients accounting by doing this... Just parsing the text records...
Anyway I recall,his info u want for JOB COMPLETION (elapsed time) is there despite its coarse data. Sadly I have not found a way to detail the CPU, storage and I/o .. Seems too much to do for my needs.
As u state, the SHARE MONITOR.app is for viewing dynamic job. It's a bit hit and miss when using over a cluster. Since mountain lion, it seems to jam up a,lots and magically ,come back to Liffey after many internal messages (see logs) that it failed on socket x n y ..... Sounds like its in need of some stability and robustness additions.
I've also found for very long and numerous multipass segmented transcodes that share monitor gets over whelmed.... Especially when the share monitor.app UI is utilised to "Expand all"... It gets super busy collecting traffic from Qmaster ..if u are using a cluster.

  • TS4009 I upgraded my Icloud storage yesterday by 10GB, but one day later realize I did not need to do so.  The apple advice is to cancel within 15 days for a refund, but does not tell you how to do so.  Anyone know how to contact apple for this purpose?

    You would have to contact Apple in order to do that. Just use this link to ask Apple for a refund: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • HT201328 My carrier did not tell me how long the recommended wait period was, so how long should I wait

    I recently got my carrier to unlock my phone but when they told me that they submitted the information to Apple they did not tell me how long to wait before trying to reset it.  how long should it take?

    Wait until they notify you that the unlock process has completed.

    You can authorise your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store drop-down menu :

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • Can someone pls. Tell me how long it would take to have the iPad up and running from removing the plastic on the box?

    Can someone pls. Tell me how long it would take to have the iPad up and running from removing the plastic on the box?

    Upon applying for Telstra contract, salesman filled out all details & I was approved immed.  He grabbed a new iPad 2 from the store's stock, all plastic wrapped, a white 32 gb.  He then asked me if I needed to go and do some shopping as he had mucked something up and had to redo application.  Everything had been completed and approved on screen, so I wasn't sure why he had asked me to come back in half an hour.  I did so, and upon arriving back he was standing at the desk, iPad in hand together with receipt and box, no evidence of shrink wrap.  As I already had bought a red cover, he basically grabbed that and slipped the iPad straight into it, without really asking me, and said, all ready to go.  Was a bit surprised but accepted that.  Did not see it being unwrapped, sim inserted or anything.  Thought it to be odd, and without any further advice, was handed bag, box and receipt.  Got home, thought it looked a bit fingerprinty, then wondered why it was basically set up ready to go.  He knew I was a gadget freak, owning 25 wifi related devices, but had never bought apple products so he said I'd have no problems.  There was virtually no set up to go through except for asking if I had an apple ID which I didn't so I created that and away I went.  I was looking through the settings a bit later and noticed the ITunes said to sync back with WILLS-MSI when it was available.  WILLS is the name of the store.  There was a 32 gb white iPad 2 as a display model and now I am seriously wondering if he has taken that off the shelf and given to me.  I have never in my life bought a display model and never would.  From my description do you think I may be right? ( even the silver back looked 'not quite new').
    OPINIONS appreciated, is there anyway of checking to see if a reset has been done as I am not at all happy & will be going straight to store manager on opening of store.

  • HT4515 How do you adjust how long the iphone rings for before going to voicemail?

    How do you adjust how long the iphone rings for before going to voicemail? Mine diverts after only a couple of rings.

    I believe you do that through your phone service provider.  I wonder if you have unheard messages in your voice mailbox.  I think some carriers use that mechanism - diversion to voicemail faster if the recipient has unheard messages.
    I do not believe you can change this directly on your iPhone.

  • Does Compressor make FCP re-render the sequence?

    It seems that when we have a sequence with lots of filters, it takes compressor a longer time to compress than when we have no filters. (same length of video)
    Does compressor make FCP re-render the sequence? It takes SO long sometimes... even with a quad core.
    I would think it would just use the render files. Or are they not good enough?
    In order to save time, we have even exported the movie, then compressed it. It took 1/4 of the time.
    Is this normal?
    Thanks

    You are correct. When you create a QT movie (self contained or reference) you have to create the media that is either contained or referenced. If anything requires rendering, then FCP will use the seqeunce settings to determine the codec for any non-native media. So, if your sequence is DV and you have animation clips within, when you create the QT movie they will all be rendered into DV upon export.
    If, on the other hand, you export via compressor, the base layer will be handed off to compressor. Therefore, if you have any animation files (for example) they will be handed off to Compressor natively and not via the sequence settings.
    The downside is that FCP is locked up for the duration of the encoding process.

  • HT201342 They don't tell you how to set up Outlook 2011

    The new iCloud instruction page only tells you how to set up Outlook 2007 and 2010---but not 2011.
    I tried doing it myself under the "Accounts" tab where all of my other email addresses are located. I set it up as an IMAP account with the following info:
    Incoming server: imap.mail.icloud.com
    SMTP server: (it is greyed out so I can't type in it, but the following is pre-filled in) smtp.mail.me.com
    I can't check the box to "set up automatically" becuase it is also greyed out.
    How am I supposed to set up my iCloud account on Outlook 2011?
    Thanks!

  • Which view would give info about how long the backup took

    Hello,
    Which view in rman or the target database to tell how long the backup took? Thank you.

    Hi,
    I suggest checking the data dictionary view v$BACKUP_SET ( START_TIME,COMPLETION_TIME,ELAPSED_SECONDS ).

  • Can I see how long the longest entry has been in the sticky table ?

    Hi,
    I have a customer who has a possible issue with the sticky inactivity timeout on the CSS. At the moment we are using no timeout, just relying on the CSS to purge the entries.
    However, is it possible to see how long the longest entry has been in the sticky table. I can see the 'elapsed time' with the 'show sticky' command but this only shows 100 entries per time and not in time order ?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Michael,
    You can use the command "show sticky-table" with L3 or L4 options, depending on what you have configured, then add ip addressing to the command, to focus down to where the oldest sticky entries are likely to be, but theres no other way. If your problem is having too many entries, configure a sticky timeout, as the default of 0 will keep then forever, or until overwritten due to the table being full. If the problem is sticky entries timing out too early, you can use the timeout parameter to increase their life, but the sticky table is limited to 32k entries.

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

    The AOL signon capabilities are good and you'll find useful stuff in those links.
    If you're after something quick in SQL try this:
    SELECT last_logon_date, user_name
    FROM fnd_user
    WHERE trunc(last_logon_date) < trunc(sysdate) - 90;
    That will get you everyone who hasn't logged in for 90 days.

    I did a test on mine.
    My 4th generation model running 4.3.1 last 10 days on and in sleep mode.
    At the end of 10 days I got the 20% low battery warning.
    I would try a RESET on yours.
    Hold down the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
    It will reset and restart itself in a few minutes.
    See if that helps.
