Create a custom setting by duplicating an
existing setting
To save a modified setting for future use, you must create a
custom setting. The easiest way to do this is to duplicate a built-in
setting and then modify its properties in the inspector.
1. In the Settings pane (press Shift-Command-1 if it’s hidden),
select the setting that you want to duplicate.
To reveal individual settings in a setting category, click the
disclosure triangle next to the category name.
2. Choose Duplicate from the Action pop-up menu at the
bottom of the pane.
A copy of the setting (appended with the word, “copy”)
appears in the Custom area of the Settings pane.
3. To modify the properties of your new custom setting, adjust
the controls in the General, Video, and Audio inspectors.
If the inspector is hidden, click the Inspector button in the
upper-right corner of the Compressor window.
For example, you can or
to the output file. To learn more a
setting’s properties, see .
