FCP not seeing custom compressor settings

I've done this before and I can't see why it's not working now! I have custom settings in compressor and I am trying to set Add Destination > Compressor Settings. I can see the CUSTOM disclosure and the built-in MXF ones but none of the custom ones I've set. There must be something obvious that I'm missing!


FCP 10.6.5, Compressor 4.6.5, MacOS 12.6.9

iMac (2017 – 2020)

Maybe this has to do with the version of Compressor being newer than that of FCP?

Compressor is up to date but FCP is now at 10.6.8.


I recommend that you make a zip of your existing FCP before updating.

Also, beware that libraries will need to be updated to work with 10.6.8, so make a backup as well or they won't then work in 10.6.5 if the need arises.
