matrox mini max settings gone in Compressor
by Jason Brown on Nov 6, 2009 at 4:10:39 am

I guess the subject says it all...but I was having problems with compressor...I trashed pref's, now my matrox mxo2 mini with max settings are gone from compressor. How do I get them back? Do I have to uninstall and re-install the drivers?

That would probably be the quickest/easiest solution James. In future you might also want to look at making a backup of your Compressor prefs (indeed, for all of your ProApps) ... Jon Chappell's excellent and free Preference Manager app is well worth checking out. Under the app's Advanced tab you can set it to backup/restore not just Compressor's Preferences but also it's Settings and Destinations. Its a gem of an app and deserves a much higher price!

I'm using that app...but I didn't make a backup of them...it's a new machine that I'm trying to get setup.

I'll just uninstall and reinstall (then backup!)

cool ... but just make sure you check that your "Settings" and "Destinations" options are ticked as by default they are not.

Good info.

BTW, can I share these with other Compressor users? Does it have to be the exact same compressor version?

Here's a good question.

Using a MXO2 at work (MacPro) and a MXO2 Mini with my laptop...the drivers are different.

I used Preference Manager to restore settings to the Compressor on my MBP...but they came FROM my MacPro with MXO2.

All the settings came back and look fine. Compressor seems to be working. Will they work? Or should I reinstall the driver?

no worries Jason, the Matrox MAX presets for Compressor are the same regardless of unit ... there are multiple flavors of MXO2 hardware but there is only one flavor of MAX.
