Set custom destination in Compressor?

For reasons I don't understand, Compressor's prefs don't let you set a specific location as the destination for batches other than the built in ones (Source, Desktop, etc).
Does anyone know a way to set a custom location?
For bonus points, why does selecting "Source" mean putting the file at the root of the device it came from. I would think it more logical to have it go to the directory it came from.

Probably do better posting this in the compressor forum.

  • Can't set new destination file location

    Ever since I have had the system, compressor has just sent the compressed files to the Mac hard drive. I have two other drives and I want to send files to them and not clog up my system drive. I have tried to set this in preferences but after doing so I get: cannot submit batch, destination is invalid or write protected.
    After reading posts here I have been into presets: destinations and there it shows the drive under custom but says it is an unreachable path.
    I would appreciate help to solve this, thank you.

    Pete:
    Look in the nbext turotial linked the title Destinations and you0ll find how to create a custom destination.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/aiff_convertercompressor.html
    The tutorial is about creating AIFF custom presets, but the destination oart is the same for any encoding format you choose.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can only submit task to Custom destination. Caused by moved Users folder?

    I recently installed my Final Cut Studio 2 on a new Mac Pro. We've installed the system with multiple users.
    Everything works fine except Compressor. We were not able to submit any rendering tasks. After checking the batch monitor I noticed some errors being thrown. It looked like a permissions problem.
    After creating a Custom Destination that points explicitly to some folder in the user's home folder, and using that as the default target destination, compressor submits without problems.
    Is it possible that the problem is caused by moving the Users home folder to another disk? The system disk is 128Gb SSD. I didn't want my data files to be on that system disk, so I moved them to a RAID.
    Any idea on how I can solve this?

    If the RAID is connected directly to your workstation, you should be able to Ignore Ownership on that volume. (Look in the info window in the Finder)
    It is recommended to use an external drive/RAID for scratch disks and exporting destinations.

  • Widescreen Format custom preset in Compressor 4?

    I used to do HD (16X9) format only, but ever since I saw other views, especially really cool looking cinematic music videos carrying the widescreen format I've been wanting to apply that to my videos. Currently my only known solution to this is simply making an image that fits exactly on my frame with two black bars to letter box my 16X9 videos in FCPX. I tried making a custom preset in Compressor 4 with the dimension of the video set to 1920X800 which is exactly 2.40X1 in aspect ratio. I also turned the pixel aspect ratio to sqauare but the results still looked weird. The video was simply squished down with a large black bar at the top and the dimension of the video was still 1920*1080.
    Enough with the rubbish (I'm not good at explaining things). Does anyone know how to formuate a custom preset in Compressor 4 so that when I export from FCPX using Compressor presets the file would be natively 1920*800 and that the excess pixels are trimmed away automatically? Or is there an option in FCPX itself that allows me to set the aspect ratio of my video to widescreen in the first place?
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to export a clip with a black JPEG file from MPEG Steamclip at 1920*800 24fp, but when I put it in my timeline in FCPX the video option window droped down saying that the format is not recognised and forced me to use the presets the came with it. Any other solution?
    Thanks

  • Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination.

    Simple. Basic Question.
    Trying to use Compressor to change the codec on my flip cam to make it more compatible with FCP X.
    I have dragged a source and destination into the batch. But it keeps giving me the error "Each target assigned to a job must have a setting and destination." I saw others had this same issue and the solution I saw was to set a destination for the video AND audio. How do you assign for BOTH? I thought it was just a drag and drop method into batch ... 

    You didn't say what your settings were. But tif it's not one of the DVD presets, you shouldn't ordinarily be faced with separate audio and video streams with the majority of presets. Here's an example of a batch with one source file, multiple targets and multiple destinations. Only the DVD Preset has separate audio and video…and those do require that destinations be specified. If the destination is not specified, it defaults to Source.
    Good luck.

  • Issue in setting custom identity service for soa 11.1.1.4

    Hello,
    I am facing issue in setting custom identity service for soa 11.1.1.4
    It is not picking up the implemented UserManager (in custom IDM) implemented via ServiceProvider and IdentityStoreService.
    This is configured in jps-config.xml
    The same setup was working in soa 11.1.1.2
    I believe there is a change done in JpsProvider in bpm-service.jar to authenticate via default login context from oracle.security.jps.internal.jaas.module.authentication.JpsUserAuthenticationLoginModule
    If my uderstanding is correct,
    Please guide me in implementing custom identity store and services for bpm services for soa 11.1.1.4
    Tried various work arounds but no luck.
    Thanks

  • How to set custom font family in qml label in black berry 10 os

    how to set custom font family in label text  qml in black berry 10 OS

    AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
    We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
    You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
    FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
    Hope this answers your question.
    Cheers,

  • How to set custom master page for sharepoint application page ?

    Hello,
    I need to apply custom master page for the custom application page I created for login purpose.
    Can anyone please let me know how to apply master page for custom application page ?
    Note : I need to set custom master page for application page at web application level.
    thanks,
    Dipti Chhatrapati

    Hi Dipti,
    You can use the same reference as ASP.NET
    Example
    "<%@ Page Language="C#" masterpagefile="../_catalogs/masterpage/minimal.master" title="teste" inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" meta:webpartpageexpansion="full"
    meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document" %>"
    You can use SharePoint Designer 2010
    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573 to make the reference from you aspx page to you custom masterpage.
    When you are editing a aspx page you can go to ribbon "Style" and attach the custom Masterpage.

  • How to set custom size of Close Button e.g. 32x32  of Title Window in Flex 4

    How to set custom size of Close Button e.g. 32x32 of Title Window in Flex 4?

    Hi
    Here is the code of the Button in the skin class of spark title window.
    <s:Button id="closeButton" skinClass="spark.skins.spark.TitleWindowCloseButtonSkin"
                              width="15" height="15" right="7" top="7" />
    So first change the default height and width from 15 to 32. Then in the Button Skin class i.e. spark.skins.spark.TitleWindowCloseButtonSkin change paths to modify the cross symbol.
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
    I am trying to set the "destination" attribute for the itemNode in the metadata.xml.This is the URI to which the user must be taken on clicking that node.

  • Adding a custom "destination"

    I want to add my own type of destination as an option within the Crystal Reports Server.  Right now when I schedule a report the destination options are Default, Unmanaged Disk, FTP, Email (SMTP) and Inbox.
    We are creating a custom web portal for people to view the reports.  We already have a ton of reports published and scheduled in Crystal Reports Server.  Right now they go to disk and then we have processes for distribution.  I want to write then directly to the database.
    Any Ideas would be GREAT!  I have been google'n for hours.

    As far as I know - it is not currently possible to add your own custom destination.  What you can do instead is to schedule the report, retrieve the generated instance, and then save that instance wherever you want.  However, you will need to create the code to store the instance in the database, etc..

  • Business Object Schedule Service - Custom Destination

    We are trying to explore Business object scheduling server thru .NET SDK. But we need a custom destination option, at present we have ftp, smtp etc. What we need is a web service as a destination that will get invoked and will also have access to underlying report data.
    First of all is it possible to build a custom destination plugin using .NET ? If so then would appreciate if you could point us to a rite code example.
    Thanks

    There is currently no option for custom destinations.
    You will have to use one of the defined ones and then use that output for your application.
