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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have not run into any issues with compressor that I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I can clearly setup the export so that it will always be the same each time I need to export something. I have all my preferences set up and ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be kinda difficult manage all the settings because they can be a bit cumbersom and first to get to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that this kind of application does actually exist because it would be really hard to work with heavy document files without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that there are not enough options for transporting the file. Since I work with really professional footage it is really important for me to have many many more options and they are not available sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
