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

Running FCP 11.0, Sequoia 15.1.1, Compressor 4.6 on M4 Mac Mini.


First time this has happened for me. I see an old thread on this that states the issues was fixed with OS 10.6.2. Apparently, it's back...

I also seem to be having this issue, I have tried it with several different projects that previously exported fine as well as a new project that im trying to get exported and all end up with the 9074 unknown error code. I uninstalled Compressor and reinstalled it, I updated my Macbook to Sequoia, I updated FCPX to the newest version but all seem to be irrelevant and the issue persists. after pulling my hair out I've found that it WILL export things so long as I don't have titles in them. which is a really big problem, but may narrow this down. I am only using essential titles with fonts I downloaded from a free font site. hopefully this helps someone figure it out.

Compressor 4.6? Is this a typo? The current version is 4.9.


Under what circumstances does this occur? Are you using Send to Compressor to compress a FCP project? Or compressing an exported video file?

If the former, try creating in FCP a destination using "Compressor settings". Does that also cause problems?

Yes, I think you're right Luis. I'll see if this occurs in the next project. There could also be an issue with something in the content or titling (which was the problem a couple years ago in another thread). Thanks for taking the time to respond here.
