So I was working in Final Cut, and went to export using Compressor and I had a kernel panic, and following a few restarts had the same result. I wound up exporting using Quicktime without issue, but need to find out what went wrong. Can anyone decipher the panic log?

Hi there -

What version of OS X are you using?

Have you seen this article about troubleshooting Compressor?

Hope that helps.

I'm searching around Apple's Discussions for some help for you - if I find anything I'll post back. In the meantime perhaps one of the other Mac addicts here can decipher that log.

Thank you so much for getting back to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will go over those troubleshooting tips very very carefully!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a Mac addict, nor am I an OS X kernel guy but the above line tells me the problem might be a video driver related issue. Do you have an Nvidia GeForce graphics adapter? Have you installed the latest OS X video drivers for your adapter?

Peace...
