One computer, export to Compressor, need to work on FCP while compressing

Is there a way to use compressor and not to lock up use of FCP?
David

Although Shane is right about "not selfcontained" there are reasons to export selfcontained. If you think you ever might want to go back to this file, I strongly recommend making it selfcontained. A reference qt, points to the original media files and any material that is already rendered. If you try and access this file after you have deleted any of the media or renders, you will have serious problems.

Compressor 2 not working in FCP 5

I'm having a problem with Compressor 2 and FCP 5.
For the past several months, I had FCP 5 and Compressor 2 working on
my 800ghz G4 Titanium powerbook. No problems.
However, I needed to go back to FCP 4.5 for compatibility issues with other
machines at work.
Long story short, I couldn't get 4.5's compressor working, and when I Reloaded FCP 5 again, compressor is just whited out when I try to export
from the timeline. Even when I try to load the compressor program by itself, it won't open,
although it shows up in the applications.
I've removed preferences and plists, but nothing is helping.
Any input would be appreciated.

How did you know I had DVDSP2 on my system?
I didn't.
Is the problem I related somehow linked to DVDSP2 being there?
I don't know. However, a good place to start is to de-install anything that is related to Compressor and this note from Apple is the only official document that lists all of the Compressor related files. True, it's for Compressor 1.X, but Compressor 2 is similar and this should give you a start on cleaning up your system.

It´s not possible to use compressor when exporting to compressor 4.0.7 from FCP 10.1

It is not possible to work with Compressor 4.0.7 from a Project send fro FCPx 10.1
I did not upgrade compressor to the last because it does not give the possibilities of version 4.0.7
Any suggestions?Thanks

Yes. Export a master file from FCP and bring that exported file into Compressor's source file well.

FCP to Compressor (can I still work in FCP will export is happening)?

This may be a dumb question. Usually I export from FCP to a master ProRes, THEN bring the ProRes into Compressor to make various formats. And I know I can continue working in FCP while this is happening.
I want to short circuit that process on this job, go straight out of FCP to Compressor. Which works fine. I'm wondering, once I've started the batch process in Compressor, can I be working with FCP while it is exporting THROUGH Compressor?
Or am I going to crash the whole process?
All ears,
Ben

Please excuse typo in question:
FCP to Compressor (can I still work in FCP WHILE export is happening)?
S'cuse me.

Help wanted - step by step process on how to use two ipods on one computer

I'm just in the process of getting an ipod (waiting on delivery!) and want to know how it is possible to have two ipods using the same computer but synchronizing differently. I don't want to risk losing my partners music (he'll be very upset!) and I don't want to end up with his music on my ipod. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a step by step guide or tell me where the best place to look for the answer is. Is it possible somehow to have two different libraries on one computer? Is that how it works?

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two as Chris has already described above is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Check to see if your Mac supports Mavericks (assuming that's what you're trying to install since you're in the Mavericks forum).
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

Can I install elements on more than one computer

Can I install Elements on more than one computer or do I need to be a separate one for each laptop, pc and ipad?

NEW & IMPROVED! Export Via Compressor

I just noticed that Export via Compressor no longer ties up FCP! Once you submit your batch, you're free to go back into FCP, close that project and open another and work.
Sweetness.
I'm on 5.1.4, not sure when this was implemented.

EDIT, FALSE ALARM.
I just realized after I posted the topic that I had added a surround sound group to my batch before submitting it. When I looked at the monitor, it was working on the surround sound group. Once it hit the stuff off the timeline, it grabbed FCP again, so, false alarm.

2 ipod minis, one computer

My husband and I each have an ipod mini and only one computer, do we both need to download the software that comes with them or does only one of us need to download the cd?

You only need one iteration of the Updater software and iTunes on the PC.

Buying Aperture 3 App, can it be loaded onto more than one computer?

Thinking about getting the Aperture 3 app for my computer and was wondering if the app can be loaded to more than one computer; or do I need to buy the boxed version from the store?

From the App Store FAQ, "..Apps from the Mac App Store may be used on any Macs that you own or control for your personal use."
You would need to log into the App Store on each Mac using the same Apple ID that was used to originally purchase the Aperture from the App Store.

Is it possible to render previews on one computer while working on the project on another?

Hi!
Even with CS5 and a cuda card I still need to render a lot since I'm using lossless image sequences as my intermediate forms.
Would it be possible to take advantage of having multiple computers while working with Premiere? Maybe one computer could be dedicated just for preview rendering while the other one could be used for regular editing simultaneously? Is there anything on the market that does this?
I welcome any discussion on the subject!
Thanks!

About the only thing you can do with Premiere is export out a sequence in the background while you continue working, then bring that back into Premiere and lay it down above the original sequence.
Of course, if you wish to continue working on the same sequence, this won't work.
Background rendering would be a very welcome addition to Premiere. Hell even Encore can do that.

Need advice on multiple iPods on one computer

I have found the article on running more than one iPod on a computer. The directions seem simple. I just wanted to post my situation and ask an additional question.
My wife's laptop recently died but we were able to save the hard drive. So her iTunes library should still be there in tact (everything else is). With the current state of the ecomony we are trying to save money and have her "share" my laptop. Is there a way to copy over her library from that hard drive without screwing up my library?
In looking at the instructions for running multiple iPods on one computer, option 3 seems like the best method for the time being. I also have an HP Smart Media Server that has an iTunes system for sharing but I have not had the time to explore that in much depth and have not found much in the documentation that comes with the server. I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have.

Yes, if you are both on your laptop with one windows user login, method 3 can work.....but it can also be really confusing.
You will both have to train yourselves to ALWAYS do the itunes shift-start before opening itunes, every time. Your ITL file is on the laptop and hers is on the salvaged hard drive. I assume you put it in an enclosure and it's connected via USB?
You might also need to check the preferences every time.
For instance if you want your new additions to go to the laptops's hard drive. She wants her podcasts to go to the salvaged drive. You'd have to change your preferences every time using method 3.
You might want to get he media server going before too much longer! And switch to Method 1 with a shared folder on the server.

I bought TVshows on one computer and i need them on another help!

I had around 10 TV shows bought on iTunes but then my computer stoped working. Now i cant get to it on that computer so now i need to get to them on this one but i cant figure it out thanks in advance!

imho the best solution for that:
Set iTunes Preferences Burning to "DATA CD/DVD" & burn your videos onto such a disk.
A DATA CD/DVD is also a perfect backup.
But any other kind storage may be used for transferring videos/audio tracks as well: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93366
