Exporting/importing compressor settings

I have a number of render settings in FCP which I would like to share with another FCP user who has a separate license and machine. Is the a way to export/import these to another copy of FCP?
Pedro

You write of 'FCP render settings,' yet you've posted this in the Compressor forum so I'll go ahead an assume that you meant Compressor presets that you've created (the stuff in the User folder of the Settings window).
If that is correct, those presets are found in /Users/pedroparamo/Library/Application Support/Compressor, for instance. They'll be .setting files, or in the case of grouped presets, those folders that are not aliases (aka they do not have the little arrow in the corner).
If you need just one setting, select it in the Settings window and drag it to your desktop. That'll make a copy of the choosen setting.
Make sure you compress/archive what you're sending, then attach to an email.
Or did you mean something related to FCP?

Export/Import Router Settings

I have just purchased a new WRT300N router and would like to export/import all my settings from my WRT54G.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished??
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Not sure if you can import it to the new router. I never tried this one.
You may try saving the backed up file configuration. You can do this by:
1. If your wrt54g has a config management option under adminisration tab. Try it there. Under the config management, click on back up and save it in your drive. [dont change the file name].
2. Open the wrt300n setup page. Go to administration, click on restore configuration and browse for the backed up file. not sure if this works, I never heard of importing settings from a different versions/router.

Sharing 60 min video, high res and export to compressor settings

I have 60 minute dance concert video shot HD on memory card. Footage is 1920x1020. I tried to share using quicktime and file summary says 8gb..it takes 2 hours to "share" as h.264.....last 2 attempts it says file to large to save . To share as pro res (default) the file summary says 60 gb....should I get 32 gb flash or try to cut the footage into 2 projects, share separate and then try to merge during compressor? If I get past this hurdle I have more questions to improve DVD quality......

Do not alter your sequence settings. Leave the as they are.
On File>Export>Quicktime Movie or File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion you'll have lots of options.
One of them is indeed h264. Of which in the other post is said that it s supported with windows.
You could export as h264, then rename the clip from Clipname.mov to Clipname.flv
Then flashplayer (installed on most computers) can play it.
If you really want to go to .wmv you'll need [Flip4Mac WMV Studio|http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/wmv-studio.htm] (or Studio Pro or Studio Pro HD)

Importing compressor settings

Where is the Compressor folder for custom settings located on OSX? I'm trying to import settings from another computer, not sure where to put them. I'm running Compressor 3.5 on Mountain Lion. Thanks in advance.

Go the Finder's Menu... Go... Hold the option key down/Library...
Library... Application Support... Compressor... Settings.

Why can't I 'Export Using Compressor Settings' in FCPX?

It keeps telling me I have to buy Compressor, which I did from the App Store.

Can you run Compressor from your applicaitons folder on the dock bar? Just trying to make sure you really got it installed after the download or maybe it had been aborted before completing the installation. It will run as a stand alone app if installed ok. After you confirm that you can look for other potential problems.

How to change export video size settings?

I just upgraded from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.
I am trying to export my 1080P content as a 720P file, something that was very easy on the basic iMovie setup.
I noticed when I tried to export to Vimeo I was given options for file quality and video size.
Where do I find those options if I am doing an export to a file as opposed a direct Vimeo upload (i.e. Quicktime)?
Please don't tell me I have to buy Compressor for this...
Thank you!

Share>Export Using Compressor Settings>Apple>Apple Devices>HD for Apple Devices (10mbps)
This will give 1280x720 HD
I don't think you need Compressor as the Compressor Settings are included in FCP X . . . I hope!

Custom Compressor Settings Missing

Under Share>Export Using Compressor Settings none of my custom settings are there. They appear fine in Compressor itself. Any idea how I can fix this? I've tried exporting, then deleting them and reimporting - nothing. Thanks.

I don't know the cause but it ids definitely worth trashing the FCP X preferences with

I can't export to compressor with FCPX send to compressor button.

I installed FCPX, Motion 4, and Compressor 4. When I try the "send to compressor" button, nothing happens. I can open compressor 4, I can "export using compressor settings" but I can't send a file to compressor to render. What I really want to do is render a new clip from part of my timeline. FCPX seems to only let me export (share) the entire timeline. Any insight into my problem would be apreciated.
Thanks

There are a lot of features I would like to request, how about being able to rename a duplicate project. Anyway, thanks for the answer. I still can't send even a full project into compressor using the send to compressor button. I did find I can use the export using compressor settings, then using the advanced menu I get a send to compressor button that does actually send my project to compressor. I can then select an in and out point and render a small sellection from my timeline.

Custom Compressor settings not showing in Final Cut Pro X?

I have FInal Cut Pro X and Compressor 4.1. I've made a few custom settings in Compressor and can even see them in Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings but they don't show up when I click on 'Export using Compressor Settings' in Final Cut Pro X.

Do you see them in the Custom follder in the Compressor Settings pane?
How about here in the FCPX Destination Preferences?

Final cut pro warning dialogue on sharing with compressor settings keeps disappearin

Every time I try to 'export with compressor settings' a warning dialogue that keeps appearing for a fraction of a second and then disappears. Seems to be part of the sharing montitor - but can't see it long enough to see what it is. Didn't happen when I was running the trial version but now that I'm using the full version I can't seem to export anything - I assume because of this dialogue.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to cure it?

Actually I think its in the pref's files. All I did was create a second account to log into my computer and relaunched Finalcut there. Because the working and project files are on an external drive it works fine.
A little unhandy as I can't get into my mail while in my dummy account - but it works. So I'm wondering which prefs files to delete to find out if that's the problem.

Import, Export and Preset settings from TimeMachine

I'd like to recover only my Import, Export and Preset settings of Aperture 3.0 from my backup disk using TimeMachine. Can someone pls guide me on what files to look for and where to find them? (I just reformatted my MBP and hence this query).
Thanks in advance.

You will find the setting in your User Library in the folder
Your Home Directory > Library > Application Support > Aperture
Everything with "preset" in its name might be interesting to you.
Reveal the User Library by going to the Finder main menu bar, select "Go" and hold down the "option" key, until you see the Library in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the Library Finder window navigate to the "Application Support" folder, then "Aperture".
Drag the Aperture folder to the Finder Sidebar for easy access, then open Time Machine.
Go back in Time to the time you want to restore from, then restore the "Aperture Folder" to your Desktop and copy the files you need to your Library.

FCPX Export Compressor Settings QT Error -2045 and more...

I have a 56 minute FCPX project that won't export. I've tried standard h264 and using Compressor settings for HD 720 for YouTube / Video.
Most recent error is QuickTime Error -2045 - can't find this error documented anywhere.
My console log last recorded for FCP this error:

Now prior to this last (4th attempt) at exporting I was getting this error:

I found a decoder online but perhaps it's 32bit... however, this is just the last time; prior I was getting the no decoder error
1) What is -2045 error
2) What is the proper decoder to use for XVID
3) I do get a warning that there is missing media, effects, titles or generators - and I can see the inspector tell me that these are related to motionVFX Project 543 (see error above) but I can't find any instance of these effects not implemented. So, how can you quickly find any missing media (redzone) or other in a FCPX project without scrolling or playing through it. If something is missing I would expect that I should be able to quickly have my playhead jump to the missing media segment within my project. But I can't figure out how.
4) I need to deliver this project and can't get a suitable export and I'm on deadline, so any thoughts are appreciated. My ideal output is a file to load to Vimeo; secondly a good quality Quicktime movie would be nice. The file is about 50GB (my guess) I need less than 5GB and 720p HD
Thanks

From Crash Analyzer:
-2045 (QuickTime)
This error occurs when a file fails to write properly.
Suggested Actions
* If you were saving to a network drive, try saving to a local drive instead.
* If this occurs when exporting from Final Cut Pro, it can sometimes be caused by rogue plugins. Use Plugin Manager to disable third-party codecs for Final Cut Pro.

I would also recommend converting your Xvid files to ProRes before bringing them into FCPX.

Image "Squeezed" when export to compressor and import to DSP

I've Edited and created many 4:3 movies and not had problems creating DVDs. This is my first HiDef footage that I captured in FCP as DV.
Looks good in letterbox in Final Cut. I exported to compressor in order to later create DVD in DSP. I made sure I exported using the 16:9 option with compressor. When previewing in DSP, the image looks "squished".
Am I not exporting it properly for what I need to do? Is there a setting in DSP that I need to change in order to create a 16:9 DVD?
Thanks in advance

First, you should bring your footage to DVD SP as 16:9 anamorphic, not letterboxed.
Setting preferences for a 16:9 project:
Open DVD studio pro.
If a project is open just close it.
In DVD SP preferences choose "Project" and make sure DVD Standard is set to 'SD DVD'.
Click apply.
Open the "General" tab and in the SD DVD Menus, Tracks and Slideshows dropdown choose '16:9 Letterbox'.
Click apply then the OK button.
You are now ready to create a new 16:9 project.
Import your footage and get to work.
