v4.11

Features Removed without Warning

Blu-ray and DVD burning removed without notification in the release notes, can’t easily downgrade to a prior version that supports it. Removing features without notification is not okay, Apple. Be better. Have also encountered a number of window rendering bugs on Sequoia 15.6 that require a restart of the application. My trust and faith in Apple as a company that supports professionals is rapidly fading.

v4.9

Does the trick!

Fast and close to all the options! Would be good to have a mp4 output to I don’t need to change the prefix after export cut otherwise perfect!

v4.8

Good, but needs more options.

Fine piece of software, but just like everything Apple creates, they dumb it down for you and never give you quite enough of the control that you want.

The Robabob

v4.8

Does the job but slowly and crashes if the batch files are too large

The new iPhone records 4k at 60fps by default which means a 1hr video is 30Gb in size. I have 20 recordings, of presentations done by myself and 5 other students, recorded for our studies in 4k that have to be submitted for assessment. To compress down these recordings to anything usable/storable/uploadable has literally taken days with multiple crashes requiring restarting, re-adding the batches and only processing one file at a time. There is no way to cue batches to process one at a time either or any notification that a batch has finished or failed or not responding/frozen and restart required. It would be handy to have an approximate file size calculator for the outputted file when choosing the format type before sending the batch. When a compression does finish however the outputted files work great!

Best of the Best !!

Can't imagine my life without Compressor. Basically you can send your export to compressor and carry on working on other timelines. This sums up my feedback :)
