Q: Compressor 4.1.3 crashes when using Watermark

When using preset for You Tube, I have attempted to add a Watermark and Compressor crashes every time. I can use any other effect with no problems. Any suggestions?

iMac, Yosemite

YYes, sorry. I thought I'd reported that a while ago, but I see the message never appeared. It seems to be an OS problem as the application works correctly in 10.9.5. Hopefully there will be a Compressor update to address this.

Did anyone manage to resolve this issue? I just installed Compressor 4.1.3 today and I'm having the same problem. When I choose watermark, Compressor crashes.

No, this has not been resolved. My fix was to use the watermark feature in Final Cut Pro X. You can google this feature on YouTube and it works well. I now only use Compressor to compress my videos. Hope this helps. Very frustrating to have an app and it not work as intended.

thanks. yeah, it's a drag. I don't use FCP so I really needed Compressor to watermark my video uploads.

It's surprising that this hasn't yet been fixed in an update.

Both You Tube and Vimeo can add logos after uploading.

QuickTime Pro can do this as well although it's kind of a fiddly process.
