Group Processing doesn't work
For the life of me, I can't get group processing to work in Compressor.
The setup:
Main machine:
- 5K iMac 2019 (Intel)
- Compressor 4.7
- OS 14.2.1
- Ethernet connection
Remote node
- Mac mini M2
- Compressor 4.7
- OS 14.2.1
- Ethernet connection
- Running 1 or 2 instances of Compressor. Changing this doesn't affect the problem.
I'm trying to transcode completed ProRes files that live on an external drive connected to the iMac. FCP is not part of the equation.
On the iMac, "Enable Automatic File Sharing" in Compressor results in an error message that I must enable file sharing. I have done so, for the entire volume and all folders within, but the error persists. When I deselect Automatic file sharing, and mount the iMac's external drive on the remote machine (mini), the job will process, but no work is sent to the mini. In other words, the processing remains local on the iMac.
It seems that no combination of automatic or manual settings is working. Could it be an issue mixing Intel and Apple silicon machines? Any thoughts? Thanks?
