I have a batch that will not finish and I cannot delete it. After much frustration, I deleted the entire program and re-installed it. The batch is still there!

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 3 GHz 8-Core with 32 GB Ram
I need to batch convert multiple image sequences (tiff) to prores. The problem is this: when I import image sequences, the frame rate is set 29.97 by default, but I need it to be 25 (they come from a video shot at 25fps). Changing the frame rate of every image sequence, one by one, is too time-consuming. How can I change it on all my sequences at once?

I've set up an Automator to batch rename files. The renaming works fine. The problem arises when it renames a file which doesn't contain it's extension (a common MacOS practice). Is there some way to make sure it preserves the filetype? For instance, this works fine:
Original:
Output:
And this results in an error:
Original:
Output (file type has been replaced with generic "document" type)

I've been running across a bit of a problem with Mavericks of late. Just re-installed it on my MBP too!
If I choose Login Window or let the screen turn off/lock, the wifi disconnects while on AC power.
I really don't want that to happen as I sometimes need to connect to it remotely to check on the status of a photoshop process, data transfer, etc.
It seems that Outlook 2011 Reminders switch the active screen (when using multiple spaces in OSX which I always do) when they pop. This seems to happen whether I have the reminders set to appear on all desktops or just the first desktop. This is hugely annoying when I am in a fullscreen app (e.g. parallels) and suddenly I'm warped over to the first screen again. I'm talking about spaces functionality in OSX, not multiple monitors. This feature. OS X Mavericks: Work in multiple spaces
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I just got a new AppleTV for Christmas. I started saving my movies to my computer/iTunes. Tried Casino Royale with RipIt and it turned out great. However since then I've tried Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (the extended edition) several different times and I just haven't gotten it to work.
Tried it with RipIt and it flat out didn't work. Didn't even result in a playable format. Tried Handbrake and the audio drops out completely 3/4 of the way through side A of the movie. Tried ripping it via MakeMKV then converting it to an AppleTV friendly format through Handbrake and the video turned out horrible. Then I tried ripping it via Mac The Ripper and then compressing via Handbrake it and once again the audio drops out completely. Is there any other way to get the extended edition of Lord of the Rings into iTunes with good video quality and not having the audio dropout problems?
I bought FCPX and Compressor because all my Kool-aid drinking Mac friends said you have to have this to edit (former Avid user). Learning as I go and I am very impressed with the FCPX software from where I came from.
However, I don't see anyway to make chaptered menus in Compressor 4? Really??? I know DVDs are not the future but they are sure the present right now. What they currently use to get a project off the timeline and into a chaptered DVD that I can duplicate and hand to people.....

I just got a base level mac pro. When I run compressor, it fills up the library in the ssd drive and crashes the machine when it runs out of disk space. Is there a solution for this?

Having just upgraded the FCP suite to the latest (4.1.2 for Compressor) I've run into a bug that has been affecting other users in earlier versions, e.g.: Compressor 4.1.1 crashes when trying to create custom setting from scratch..Basically I run Compressor, and choose the "New Setting..." option under the lower left drop-down menu.
I get a spinning beach ball, then the app crashes.I've tried a full reinstall of the app after deleting it and it's associated preferences and app support files. I've also logged in under a clean new user account and the same thing happens, so it must be some issue on a system level.
The only workaround I've found from another thread is to duplicate an existing setting and modify it from there. But clearly it would be better if it didn't crash. For those who might be interested in the details, here is the crash log:
Process: Compressor [710]
Path: /Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/Compressor
Identifier: com.apple.Compressor
Version: 4.1.2 (249189)

Am I able to copy the Compressor App (part of the final cut pro suite) to another Computer with a legitimate serial? It's only on one computer at present but I'd like to transfer it to another computer as it only has DVD Studio Pro and FCP - no compressor.
Can I just copy the Icon onto a HD and past it onto the other computer or will I have to copy all the files associated with it too?
Running 4.1.3 with FCPX and Send to Compressor has all of the distributed processing groups greyed out in the selection drop down. I can only run compressor on This Computer.
If I export the file from FCPX and then drop that into Compressor from the finder it works fine. Is there a reason it is not working when directly connected?
I have deleted and reinstalled both apps but get the same results.

My iPad works while it's plugged in, however when I take it off the charger, power it down then try to power on let's say an hour later, it will not turn on unless connected to the charger. When I power it off it has over 50% battery life.

2. If i set automatic fps near original 29.97 fps, converted footage to ProRes playbacks stutters (especially if you pay attention to the part of footage, where child is going toward a house wall).

I can't seem to find any info on how to set up an email notification when a render is complete.
My Compressor is on a computer that is used by many people so I don't want to have an applescript create an email via apple mail as that would mean my emails would be available on that machine.
I seem to remember on version 3 this being available but I can not even find the settings in compressor 4.1.2. How this can be done?

If I should change it, what choice do I choose in the retiming panel? 30@29.97? 29.97@30?

I'm transitioning from FCP 7 and a Sony DV camera to FCP X and a Canon HD camera. I shot video of a dance performance in HD 1920 x 1080, 59.94P. I imported the AVCHD clips into FCP X with the copy media option. One clip is 1:26:57 (1 hr, 26 min ...) and the other is 1:21:43 long
When I used FCP 7 I created sub-clips for each dance before laying them down on the timeline. In this FCP X project I created compound clips off of the longer of the two AVCHD clips (the performance up to intermission), created a project named DVD 1 and moved the compound clips to the timeline and added titles.
If I follow my old workflow, the next step would be to send to Compressor and then import into DVD Studio Pro but I want to burn a simple DVD to check out how the titles look but when I try to send the project to Compressor the "Send to Compressor" and "Share" menu items are grayed out. If I select the original 1:26:57 AVCHD the options are also grayed out but if I select the slightly shorter 1:21:43 clip they are not. If I select any of the compound clips the option are also grayed out.

why I can't export my FCP 6 sequence using Compressor 3.0.5.
I have an hour-long 1080p Pro Res 422 sequence that I am trying to export using Compressor 3. Whether I export using the 'Pro Res 422' preset or the 'H.264' preset, transcoding commences but then stops abruptly 15 to 20 minutes later with an error message saying 'Quicktime Error: -50.'
For what it's worth, I have an early-2008 dual quad-core Mac Pro desktop with 6 GB of RAM and two ATI Radeon 5770 graphics cards. I am currently running OS X 10.6.8. The media (including Motion graphics) and project file are on an external drive connected via Firewire 800.
how to properly export this sequence at the highest quality without getting the error message

export from fcp 7 to compressor 3.5 took over 30 hrs. sequence was 95 min. 1920x1080 60i pro res 422. i did use the sharpen filter on the entire sequence. export was using the youtube setting (h.264) w/ same source size. i'm using a 2x2.8 ghz quad core intel xeon mac pro w/10 gb ram 4 x1tb hard drives. source files are on external fw 800 drive and i export internally to my hard drive. 30 hrs is ridiculous. i also tried first exporting sequence as a prores 422 same setting file. that took 20 hrs and then exporting that using the youtube setting which took another 15 hrs for a total of 35 hrs. what can i do to speed this up?

I can no longer add or delete any contacts in Contacts. I am running Mavericks, 10.9.3 and I have an IPhone 5 which is up to date on its software. I have tried having iCloud syncing on and off and still cannot add or delete contacts on my MacBook Pro (brand new; with Retina display). I have looked for a preference file and cannot even find one that seems to be for Contacts. I can remove contacts from my iPhone, and I can sync it with my laptop, but the contacts I deleted on the phone are not deleted on the laptop. When syncing, which I have tried doing both wired and wireless, it takes forever to finish, it if it does at all. I usually let it set at working on step 5 for about 5 minutes before I just click the round "X" and dismiss the sync box.
