If you upgrade from Compressor 1.x to Compressor 2, the old presets from Compressor 1.x may still be available in Compressor 2 within the Custom folder in the Presets window. However, these settings do not work with Compressor 2.
Even though you can select and apply these older "inherited" settings to a job in the Compressor 2 Batch window, they will produce undesirable results. You should avoid using these settings and remove them instead. To remove them:
- Quit Compressor if it's open.
- Open ~/Library/Application Support/
Note: The tilde (~) refers to your Home folder. For more information, see "Mac OS X: Using Your Home Directory." - Drag the Compressor folder to the Trash.
The next time you open Compressor 2, only the new Apple optimized settings will appear in the Preset window (these are stored in a new folder at the above location). Any custom settings you create in Compressor will also be stored in this folder.
