Work with jobs
Overview
When you add a source le to Compressor and apply settings or destinations, you create a
transcoding job. Jobs are displayed in the batch area of the Compressor window. When you
select a job in the batch area, its properties are shown in the Job inspector. In the Job inspector,
you can:
•
View or modify job properties, including metadata tags
•
Add or modify a job action to be performed after transcoding
The properties that appear in the Job inspector vary depending on the type of source le in the
job. See Standard media job properties on page 55, Image sequence job properties on page 56,
and Surround sound job properties on page 57. In addition, each job action has a set of unique
properties. See Job action properties on page 59.
View and modify job properties
