Q: Compressor doesn't recognise updates to FCPX project
When I recently sent an FCPX project to Compressor, I noticed it needed some refinement after it had done its job.
I went back to FCPX and rejigged a few of the clips and sent it on to Compressor again. It spat out the exact same result as the first time - i.e.
none of my edits stuck.
After a few more tries and the same result, I thought to majorly move a few clips around but, Compressor would still revert to the initial version.
Back in FCPX I cleared all the renders, restarted the program and the computer, and guess what - still the same, now infuriating, result.
In frustration, I had to let FCPX do the output work itself. It recognised every little nuance I had changed, but I find it gives a somewhat inferior result to
Compressor, which produces a much smoother video than I can get out of FCPX natively. But that's another question.
Any ideas?
Thanks, in anticipation
