80 Chapter 6 Creating Jobs and Submitting Batches
 Open the Settings tab of the Presets window and drag one or more settings or
setting groups to the intended source media file in the Batch table. This method is
most useful when you want to quickly apply multiple settings to a source media file,
producing a variety of output file formats. When dragging a setting group, all
settings in the group are automatically applied to the source.
In the Setting column, the setting number changes from 0 entries to the number of
settings you have just added. Once you add at least one setting, a disclosure triangle
appears to the left of the source media filename. Click this to view or hide setting
details for the job.
Note: Once all of your source media files in the Batch table have at least one setting
associated with them, the Submit button becomes active.
You have now created a job that is ready for transcoding. If you want to preview it first
to ensure that you are satisfied with the results, see Chapter 16, “Using the Preview
Window,” on page 209.
Click the disclosure
triangles to show or hide
the setting information.
