Compressor 4.1 now incorporates the batch monitor status within its interface. Sure, that’s fine, I guess… But if you use a droplet, its status will not show up in Compressor.
So how does one check a droplet’s status? Turns out, Share Monitor is still present, just not easily accessible. You can find it in the following path (you’ll need to occasionally right click → Show Package Contents):
(/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/PlugIns/Compressor/CompressorKit.bundle/Contents/EmbeddedApps/)
Open it up and either make an alias on your desktop or keep it in your dock. Done!

THANK YOU for this!
This is exactly what I needed. Why did Apple have to tuck this away so deep?
Why, to increase the satisfaction of the user when he/she finally figures it out! Of course!
Thank you! My blood pressure thanks you! My remaining follicles thank you! My cat thanks you!
Work also for FCP 7.0.3 with Compressor 4.1.3. Thanks.
What about for group or cluster transcoding not using a droplet?
Thanks!
Share Monitor displays queued batches for jobs submitted from droplets and from Compressor itself.
Super helpful! This info is good for Compressor 4.2.2 as well. Why do they move/hide important tools???
