Red missing title frames after sending project from FCPX

Hi!

I am on a MacBook Pro M2 max with the lates MacOS and application updates. I have not installed new plugins since last time this workflow worked (I have used these titles before without problems).

Yesterday I sent a fully functioning (without any red frames) project with several third party titles from FCPX to Compressor via the "send to Compressor" option under the File menu. In Compressor, i see that the playback monitor shows red "missing title" (big letter T) wherever I have placed these third party titles. Exporting also gives me these red frames.

In the timeline in FCPx there are no red frames and all plugins/titles show normally. It does not matter if I "render all" in the timeline before sending to Compressor. I have exported Compressor presets to FCPX and using these presets when exporting the project in FCPX works fine. Also rendering a master file which is imported to Compressor works fine.

I have enabled access for Compressor to all harddisk files.

Please help! :)

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.1

I don't know what to say except that I never found any advantages with Send to Compressor.

I find that it is slower than either of the alternatives - Export with Compressor Settings, or just the regular Export File from FCP.

It seems that you are not alone with this problem. There may be bugs in FCP 11 and/or Compressor 4.9 that cause Send to Compressor to not work reliably.
