Export media path on windows doesn't work, only frame

jpolen

Description

This is my first time using compass, I've heard awesome things about for plugins suite. But for some reason the plugin is working correctly for export frames, but not the actual media. Not for quick export or regular Ctrl+M export nor Media Encoder.

Expected Behavior

Path doesn't change for export media, only works with frames.

Actual Behavior

Should work for both.

Possible Fix

Not sure, this is my first time installing on windows 11.

Context

How has this bug affected you? What were you trying to accomplish?

Your Environment

Extension name and version: Compass 1.2.1
Host application name and version: Premiere Pro 26.0.1
Operating System and version: Windows 11 / 64.0 GB RAM / 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12650H (2.30 GHz)

I see you have Premiere Composer panel open.
There is an issue related to API. Both Premiere composer and Compass listen to the same API event. However, due to API bug/limitation, whenever you open Premiere Composer, it breaks Compass listener, therefore Compass stops working correctly.
To fix it:

close Premiere Composer panel and restart Premiere
test Compass

I will write this week to Mister Horse team (I have about 5 reports about this issue, so it is time to look for a workaround).

That's definitely it. Thanks a lot for the quick and amazing support. I'll be buying Excalibur by the end of the week. Your plugins are ridiculously amazing and I don't understand how these functions are not native to Premiere Pro.
