Compressor error: System Error = -9074 {Unknown Error: -9074}

Went to an older post... but didn't help 😓


With Compressor 4.11 on MBP M1 Max, and a Motion 5.11 .motn file, I get the same failure...


Very embarrassing while trying to get a project completed 😱

In Compressor, go to the application menu, to Settings, to Advance, to Reset Queue.

You'll run this twice. The first time to "Cancel Jobs". The second time to "Repair Compressor".

Then reboot your computer, see if that helps.


You can also create a custom preset in Compressor, and in FCP make it a custom export preset, save some time in the future.
