Q: Compressor 3.5.3 Quickcluster still only uses 20%CPU. What gives?
I'm using Final Cut Studio 7. Compressor 3.5.3. First i couldn't get clusters to work at all. So i uninstalled and reinstalled FCS7 and the Clusters seem to -set up- just fine. But when i submit a batch, Compressor STILL only uses about 20% of the CPU. What Gives? it would do that without a cluster anyway. It bugs me that Final Cut 7 only uses about 20% when rendering footage as well. I've thought about upgrading, but the reviews for fcpX and Compressor 4 have not been great.
Advice:
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I downloaded the trial of fcpX and bought the new motion and compressor apps. Problem pretty much solved. :]
