"Compressor for the win"
What do you like best about Compressor?

I love how easily this software is compatible with Final Cut and Apple Motion and the process of integration. AS far as user friendly goes this software has it all. The importing of files and the arrangement make it very easy navigate and get the correct compression and export settings that will work with any sofware or device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

I wish there was more of a way to customize the outputs within the compressor setting when using with Final Cut. You are tied to the same settings that are avaialble in your final cut settings. This makes it slightly more difficult in the long run but still manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compressor works"
What do you like best about Compressor?

I like that the newest version of compressor works so well with option and final cut. It makes it so much easier to be able to save the videos straight out of the software into various formats if desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

The one thing that's a drawback that I see is when the videos are saved at times it doesn't compress down as far as I would like. The older versions of final cut would automatically compress the videos into smaller sizes. But what you give up for file size you save in render speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compressor does the job"
What do you like best about Compressor?

Since getting into video editing it has always been an issue being able to quickly exporting and saving complex videos in a variety of formats. With compressor I am able to choose a cvariety of formats for one video if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

The fact that there are times the compressor bogs down when I am exporting a large file gets irritating. This only happens once in a great while but when it does happen it is really time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Necessary for any Video Editor"
What do you like best about Compressor?

I love the fact that Compressor helps make video files far more manageable in size. Final Cut Pro will export a far larger file. This gets it down to the right size. Plus, it has a ton of options for how to export the file. Whenever I make a ceremony video for a wedding client, Compressor makes it far easier to deliver the video to the client, especially with the longer weddings. And when I back up the footage and projects for the weddings, I'm able to do so without using as much space for the final exported video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

I don't like that sometimes Compressor fails without much reason during an export. It doesn't happen a lot but it does happen and it is frustrating when it happens on a 2 hour export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works great, quite limited in features.."
What do you like best about Compressor?

I like how easy it is to navigate and find the settings you're looking for, the built-in settings are excellent, and It's handy for stuff like changing formats (like ProRes 444 to H.264 or others). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

It feels limited in features and settings for its price, and it tends to lag from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compressor The tool that can help transform your video"
What do you like best about Compressor?

I love Compressor because it can help translate your video into a needed format for your final product.This is very helpful, especially if the final product needs to be a particular file type or size. Compressor can take your final file and translate it for you in a quick and easy process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

I wish there were a quick user guide to help show all of the features compressor can help. I feel confident in my skills; however, I am sure there is way more to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compressor is the secret tool in the background"
What do you like best about Compressor?

The ability to run a compression algorithm to batches of files is the most helpful feature of Compressor. Prior to using to Compressor I was compression files individually and that is a tedious and time consuming process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compressor?

I have not run into any issues with compressor that I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
