Can't find an exported file

Hello to everyone. I exported a project from FCPX with Compressor. I do not remember about a destination I've took and after the export I can find the result . Compressor says, that can't show it, because the file was moved or whatever. I tried to find it myself with Find in Finder - nothing. I would have thought that the export was wrong, but Compressor says Successful.

Select the job in the Completed section, and look at the Inspector. The heading should say "Job" (not Batch or General), and list at the very beginning, just below the file name, is the path of where it originally wrote the file to. If you moved or deleted it, then you will have to dig through your system quite a bit to find it manually. Aside from Spotlight searches and manually digging, there's no other real option.
