Q: Create Clip Proxy FAIL

Hi All,

I am getting the following error when clips are ingested into FCS:

ERROR: EREQERROR Encountered error using Compressor: <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.

After doing some snooping around I have found out the following:

1) This error only occurs if the admin account (which fcsvr is associated with) is not logged in.

2) I went through the steps here and made sure FCS was connected to the local user acccount (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3282)

3) Even though FCS shows the error, Compressor does successfully create a proxy video file, but it is not associated with the FCS database

PLEASE HELP!! I haven not been able to find an answer for this anywhere.

    #1 is the cause, if you're using the default setup of rendering with This Computer.

    This is documented in the setup guide in the section *About the This Computer Cluster*:
    "Because the This Computer cluster operates using the name of the current user that is logged in, it cannot be used until a user logs in."

    The solution provided there is to use a custom QuickCluster, though I think I may have sometimes still not had things work completely without logging in, so you may have to test it.

    A managed render Qmaster cluster on a dedicated computer is the best solution if you have the hardware to support it.

    I'm already using a QuickCluster and have followed that section of the setup guide to the letter.
