Compressor 4.1: Opens to a gray window

Compressor may open to a completely gray window.

To address this issue, remove the Compressor Layouts folder. The next time you open Compressor, it will create a new Layouts folder, and the Compressor window will work as expected.

Follow these steps for OS X Mavericks:

  1. In the Finder, hold down the Option key and then choose Library from the Go menu.

  2. In the Library folder that opens, go to Application Support > Compressor.

  3. Drag the Layouts folder from the Compressor folder to the Trash.
