Compressor – Making Compressor Multiprocessor Aware

update

By default, Compressor doesn’t use all your processors when compressing. To speed it up, you need to configure Apple Qmaster in System Preferences.

Use System Preferences to create a Virtual Cluster and set the number of instances equal to 50% of your processors – if you have four processors, set the number of instances to 2.

Then, when you submit files you select Virtual Cluster, and not “This Computer.”

This screen shot shows where to configure the Virtual Cluster – however the numbers in your pull-down menu will vary depending upon how many processors you have in your system.

After that, it’s automatic.
