Hey there,

I am having issues with Compressor, so I made a screen recording to show the problem I am having. Any Help will be much Appreciated!

Here is the Link to the video: YouTube - I am Having Problems with Apple Compressor, Please I need Help. Thank you.

I hope I am not violating any DVINFO Forum Rules by posting a link to my youtube video that is illustrating my problem.

Thank you,

You can always try the free tool FCS Remover (google it) to remove Compressor completely and do a reinstall... They also have a free tool called Compressor Repair, which I don't have experience with.
Maybe you could try one of those solutions if you can't get it working...

You could try rendering your full res file as a self-contained MOV, then bringing that into Compressor and exporting it using the H.264 AppleTV setting, then upload that to YouTube manually. I do that once a week, no problem.

I've found that the fields in the Job Action field are quite particular.
I keep it extremely simple, one word or stream of words (no spaces) then log in to Youtube account and tag and rename it.
I don't know why you didn't get an error message before submitting - i do, if i enter any spaces or special characters (, ' : ; ).

Kind of annoying to have to do it twice . . . but that's compressor for you- you gotta go with the flow.

Let me know if this helps.
