6. At the bottom of the batch area, click the Start Batch button.
The existing package is updated to include the new or changed elements from the
new batch.
Note: You can’t remove elements from a package after it has been created. If you
want to remove an element from an existing package, you must create a new package
from scratch. For example, if you created a package with French, German, and Italian
subtitles but want to modify the package to include only French and Italian subtitles,
you must delete the old package from your disk, then build a new package with all
desired elements included.
Work with video with burned-in text in Compressor
If your feature video contains text already rendered into the video (sometimes called
burned-in or baked-in titles), it’s important to identify the language and intent of those
titles before submitting your package to the iTunes Store.
In general, you should avoid using burned-in text, which can confuse viewers when the text
doesn’t match the language they’re expecting (other than opening titles or ending credits).
Furthermore, burned-in titles can conflict with subtitles or closed-caption text added to
the video during playback. If both text elements appear at the same time and in the same
place on the screen, the titles may overlap, and neither will be legible.
However, burned-in text is sometimes unavoidable. For example, traditional subtitles
might already be burned into your video. Or you might need to include forced narratives,
onscreen text that identifies a scene’s location or time (“Brooklyn, 1959” or “Later that
night…”). Or you might require translation dialog that doesn’t match the primary language
used in a film (known as foreign dialog translation).
In these cases, you must identify the text as subtitles or forced narratives and then specify
the language and country.
Set the language and country of burned-in text
1. In the Compressor batch area, select the Feature row item.
2. In the Job inspector, scroll down to Feature Video Properties, then deselect Textless.
3. For burned-in subtitles, choose a Language option and then a Country option in the
“Burned subtitles” area.
4. For burned-in forced narratives, choose a Language option and then a Country option in
the “Burned forced narratives” area.
Set the India Health Warning
If your project contains health warning text as required by Indian law, you must indicate
that the warning is present in your iTunes Store package.
1. In the Compressor batch area, select the Feature row item.
2. In the Job inspector, scroll down to Feature Video Properties, then deselect Textless.
3. Select the “India health warning” checkbox.
