No "This Computer" cluster in Compressor

Hi there

I've had this problem for a while and never really had time to look into it but after the recent MacBreak Studio highlighted some cool Compressor stuff I thought I'd throw it out to the smart people.

My Compressor is not displaying a "This Computer" cluster in the Submit dialog box. It WILL display network clusters and when I turn my machine into a Controller it recognises that, and works fine, but not the computer on it's own. When I set my QMaster preferences to 'Services Only' and disconnect from a network, the Cluster drop down is empty. Clicking OK brings up a:

"Unable to submit to a queue. Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct."

message and goes no further.

I've tried to re-install Compressor (going through the delete every file protocol) and nothing has worked. It started some time ago after a particularly nasty Compressor crash. At the time I was using Final 5.14 and Compressor 2. Since then I've upgraded my system to Leopard, Final Cut 6.01 and Compressor 3. Still nowt.

Have see nothing similar to this on a forum or on the net at all. could just use it as a Network Controller but the fact that something is wrong bothers me.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks 🙂

I have a similar problem, but for me it's quite urgent!

I'm trying to export some sequences from FCP 6.0.1 using "Export using Compressor". Previously it has worked, but since upgrading to Leopard, all I get when I hit the "Submit" button is a message that says:

"Unable to submit to queue.

Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct"

Please help - these need to be uploaded to the client yesterday! (as usual!)

Many Thanks,
