Leopard conflict with Compressor?	Can't Post

Has anyone else had any problems with this? Because now, any time I try to submit the file to be compressed, it says "Unable to connect to background process." I've deleted and reinstalled it and still keep getting the same error message. Any words on this?

Well I discovered what the problem is. Apparantly there was an update for Final Cut last year that I knew nothing about. A "crossgrade" to version 5.1 that was good for both Power PC and Intel based macs. I'm pissed because now I can't use Compressor and Apple should take care of this issue immediately. Does anyone have a copy of this they can send me to borrow just to update? I'd send it right back.

I have a copy, but unfortunately it would be against the license agreement to send to you (different keys etc). The upgrade you speak of was widely mentioned on many technical forums, and was a great deal. for 200 bucks I crossgraded FCP 4.5 to 5.1, and in the process they traded my academic copy for a full retail copy that I recently upgraded to FCS2. You might want to make a trip to the apple store and buy the upgrade to get to FCS2, the smoothcam feature and the new motion make it worth the dough. At this point, I would think it would be your only option besides downgrading from leopard back to tiger would be an upgrade. This is part of the reason I do not like to be the first to update to the new OS. It typically takes a few months to work out the bugs, and this sounds like one of them.
