IMF package required fields
A valid IMF package must include valid values for package name and content title, an
audio language must be selected, and Multichannel Audio Description fields are required.
You must also select a location for the output. These and additional fields can be found
in the IMF Package inspector. If you don’t know the correct information, you can enter
placeholder text.
Build IMF packages using Compressor
There are a number of steps required to successfully create, configure, and build a simple
IMF (Interoperable Master Format) package using Compressor. Before you begin, make
sure you have all the components you need, including video files and audio files, and
make sure each component is in the correct format for inclusion in the package.
Create an IMF package
1. In Compressor, choose File > New IMF Package.
An IMF package job appears in the batch area. (The batch area can contain only one IMF
package job at a time.)
