Set a custom location’s filename format
When you add a setting to a job, Compressor automatically
assigns an output filename based on the filename format provided
in the Location inspector. You can change the filename that
Compressor assigns at any time. You can also modify the
filename format that’s used for locations you’ve created. Then,
each time you use the custom location, your custom filename
format will be used for the output file’s name.
Note: You cannot modify any part of a built-in location; however,
you can duplicate a built-in location and set its filename format as
you choose. See the previous task for instructions on creating a
custom location.
1. In the Locations pane on the left side of the Compressor
window, select a location.
If the Locations pane is hidden, press Shift-Command-2.
2. If necessary, click the Inspector button to reveal the
Location inspector.
The “Filename format” field in the Location inspector displays
naming tokens that determine the output filename.
