Q: Trying to Save YouTube Password in Compressor Presets

Is it possible to have Compressor 4 save my YouTube password in a preset?  Compressor will save the username, it will save other metadata such as titles, but it will not keep the password.

 

If I 'Share' to YouTube straight from FCP X, the username and password are retained.  My typical process is to 'Send to Compressor' and I have to paste in the password each time.

Afraid this can't be done in Compressor the way it can be in FCP.

 

This has come up before and in previous versions it wouldn't retain the pw – regardless of whether it was a custom setting or a droplet. I just retested it in 4.2 and there hasn't been any change.

 

BTW, it doesn't matter whether one uses Send to Compressor or whether one imports a stand alone video.

 

I suggest using Compressor Feedback.
