I will work on a video. Any kind, no particular setting, vertical or horizontal. Different resolutions, some with titles, some without. Some with plugin effects, some without. Regardless of length, number of cuts, or colour grading. Video from iPhones, some from DJI drones. Raw, D-log, V-Log, audio or no audio, when it comes time to send to the compressor, it looks like it will process. However, the blue progress line never shows up, and at some point, between two and five minutes, the project in Compressor disappears. Sometimes, it leaves orphaned bits in the destination folder, and sometimes, nothing.
In some cases, it exports a couple of times, but when I edit something, again, it's not the same thing, just a cut here or there or shortened a clip; in one case, I just fixed a spelling mistake, and it stops exporting.
Sometimes, I close FCPX and Compressor, reopen them, and try again. Sometimes, the old project reappears in Compressor, and the progress line completes, but no file is rendered, and then the new file works. Sometimes, nothing happens. Then I have to restart MAC Studio, and it works.
I have uninstalled Compressor and reinstalled it. It works a few times until the same thing happens.
I do not want to reinstall FCPX because, as you likely know, that is a nightmare.
Compressor did this a few years ago, but a couple of updates corrected the course. I spoke to Apple, and they said to uninstall and reinstall. It's sort of reminiscent of the Microshaft years.
Anyway, I am baffled. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. I have been using Sonoma 14.5 on an M1 Ultra Mac Studio since Late 2022. I am saving onto the internal HD which has plenty of room.
