Create and use droplets
You can save one or more settings or a destination as a standalone application called a droplet.
Using the droplet, you can easily transcode les by dragging them to the droplet icon in
the Finder.
Create a droplet
1 In the Settings tab, select one or more settings, setting groups, or a destination that you want to
save as a droplet.
Note: You can Shift-click or Command-click to add multiple settings or setting groups.
If you selected more than one setting, a destination that contains two or more settings, or a
group of settings, every setting in your selection will be included in the droplet. For example, if
you submit two source media les to a Droplet containing three settings, Compressor creates six
dierent output media les.
2 Choose Save as Droplet from the Action pop-up menu .
3 In the window that appears, do the following:
•
Enter a name for the droplet in the Save As eld.
•
Specify a location for the droplet using the Where pop-up menu.
•
In the Location pop-up menu, choose where you want the droplet to save transcoded les.
4 Click Save.
Your newly created droplet appears as an icon in the location you chose in the Where menu.
