Q: Apple Compressor 4.13 plug-ins Missing!

I have Compressor 4.13 and FCPX 10.1.4 and I was trying to export a video in MXF through Compressor, but although the Setting for the different frame rates/sizes of MXF appear on Compressor, when I select a Compressor Setting, on the tools box it says "Missing Compressor Plug-In". All the other plug ins work, except the MXF. I reinstalled the Pro Video Formats 2.0, rebooted the computer and nothing. Any help on how can I make MXF export work out of Compressor?

    YOu should see it as a group in the Custom section. It loads in the user library, so it's user specific.

    Thanks for the info but it didn't help me. I already see it as a group in the Custom section.

    There's a MXF group then inside it shows different settings for different sizes and frame rates BUT for each set there's an error sign with the message: Missing Compressor Plug-In. See photo attached.

    JJust to confirm the user you're logged into is the one that installed the updated.

     

    GO into ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings and see if there are any MXF settings there.

    Yes they are. The settings are their. The settings appear in Compressor. The settings are not missing, but the plug in that is called by the setting.

    The problem is that whenI choose a MXF setting I want (any MXF setting) it seems the plug in is missing - see the image on the last post. I just reinstalled the error still there.
