Compressor error: System Error = -9074 {Unknown Error: -9074}

My case has been opened for 2 months. I sent an email last week since I hadn't heard from them in the previous 2 weeks. I sent another yesterday since now it's 3 weeks since I've been ghosted. I mean, c'mon. I paid for AppleCare. Please Apple, don't turn into Dell.

It's working for me now, on an iMac Pro, after the updates.

I'm glad Apple finally fixed this issue. What really gnaws at me is that I paid for AppleCare. I have an open case that is almost 2 months old. No one, not even their engineers, could tell me what was happening. The last 2nd tier guy I spoke with told me the engineers "were aware of the title issue" and he would get back to me.

Then they ghosted me. Mind you I never got a "case closed" email. Instead, no one returns my calls or my emails. It's been over a month since they ghosted me. Now that the issue is resolved I can go back to my normal workflow. But I have certainly lost some confidence in AppleCare and Apple Support. This from a full time Mac user since January 1985!

I get it. It was a pain in the butt that happened right when I had a lot of stuff to do to get my files out to customers. And likely there was nothing more they could tell you. I used to be an Apple Premier Developer. For the thousands of dollars my company paid for that, my level of access wasn't much better. You submit a bug report, and then it goes into a black hole. Yes, as a developer I understand what happens next and that not everyone can or should have access to the bug-tracking database, but a little more notice would have been nice.

Glad it's working for you. I delivered my last DVD and BluRay last week to my clients for this event. It's nice to know it'll (hopefully) be working in tome for the next one.

This. I remember back in the day when Mac users would make fun of Windows for this kind of crap: Reboot your machine. Trash your preferences. Delete and reinstall the software. Just give up and stop using it in the way it was intended to be used.

Absurd.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), Build to Order

2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9

32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB

I wonder if this has anything to do with it? Never seen it before installing the Sh** that is Monterey.

Edit: I know it's third-party, but that's not the point...

I too am having this problem, seems everything worked till the end of October now hardly anything works. Ive tried all the suggestions in here and im lost

I have found a solution that you can try:.

1, you just need to rename the project (the simpler the better, no special symbols)

2, and then send it to compressor

3, run normally

I have this exact same issue with a 2013 Mac Pro. For me it seems to happen when I do a batch export and try to compress multiple projects at once.

Did you try using a Compressor setting in FCP rather than sending to Compressor?

That’s usually some analysis process that’s stuck somewhere. Try copying and pasting the contents of the project into a new project and see if that runs.

Good suggestion, I'll give that a try later today, as I've got to run out for a bit.

Will let you know soon if that works.

The dropped frame playback issue shouldn’t impact export unless your system or media drive is very full. That’s a different rabbit hole.
