Test:

  • added ProRes 422 to the destinations in FCP.
  • Did share to that destination
  • Works as expected. -output to file
  • THEN, Same project in FCP, use "send to Compressor".
  • Drag same ProRes422 onto the batch.
  • Get "missing plug in" a few seconds later before I do anything else like start batch
  • no idea how to figure out what plug in they are talking about
  • open another FCP Library and a simple, single clip project with no effects, etc.
  • Same results

Here is "shark bump" project which was second test. This snip I hope shows project properties you are looking for as well as media type (GoPro). I do not know of a plug in required for any of my media to work which is typically Gopro or iPhones. I only use plugins for effects sometimes.


as for why I'm trying ProRes 422 as output....I'm just looking for a good "master" to output before I archive the work. I welcome suggestions on that as I read a lot of various opinions yesterday. Point is, it's still broken in compressor.


Just tried something simple.....send to compressor and used the Apple HD . Same result


Just tried new Library with a single clip project from iPhone. Same results.


thanks

Open one of the GoPro clips in MediaInfo or Invisor and the same for an iPhone clip and see what it says in the applications about the frame rates. The iPhone video is probably variable frame rate. I don't know about whatever of the many GoPros you're using. I'd be interested to know if the frame rate is variable.


Try optimizing the media in FCP. If you want best quality output, the simplest thing is to export ProRes or ProRes HQ from FCP.
