Thanks for coming to my rescue, good Lady Jessica, I haven't yet upgraded to Yosemite, so I'm on OS 10.9.5, and I believe I'm running the latest version of Compressor (4.1.3). I can't speak for the rest of frameworks, but I'm eager to get going on this, so feel free to email me directly.
Again, thanks!
