Create an iTunes Store package
1. In Compressor, choose File > New iTunes Store Package.
An iTunes Store package job appears in the batch area. (The batch area can contain
only one iTunes Store package job at a time.)
2. To add the primary video of your submission, do one of the following:
• Drag a video file from the Finder onto the Feature row.
• Click Set on the right side of the Feature row and select a video file from the dialog
that appears, then click Open.
An output row containing the selected video file is added to the job.
3. To modify video or audio properties of the primary video, select the video in the batch
area, open the Video or Audio inspector, then adjust the property values.
You can pick a frame size up to 4K (4096 x 2304 pixels). For more information about
the available video and audio properties, see QuickTime Movie settings in Compressor.
4. To add supplemental files, do one of the following:
• Drag a file from the Finder onto the Subtitles, Closed Captions, or Alternative
Audio row.
• Click Add on the right side of the corresponding row, select a file from the dialog
that appears, then click Open.
Important: Subtitle files must have the .itt or .srt filename extension, and closed-
caption files must have the .scc filename extension.
You can add multiple files in each category (for example, to include subtitles or closed
captions for multiple languages). Shift-click or Command-click to select multiple files.
A supplemental file row is created for each file you add.
5. To add a short preview video, do one of the following:
• Drag a video file from the Finder onto the Previews row.
• Click Add on the right side of the Previews row, select a video file from the dialog
that appears, then click Open.
Compressor adds a row containing the selected video file to the job.
