4. In the settings window that appears, select one or more settings or destinations,
choose a save location from the pop-up menu, then click OK.
The output instructions that you specified appear in the job. If you chose multiple
settings or a destination with multiple outputs, each output appears in a separate row. If
you chose a destination, its job action appears in the upper-right corner of the job area.
5. To change the name of a file to be output, double-click its name in the Filename column,
then enter a new name.
Note: If you see an alert icon
to the left of the filename, the filename assigned to that
output row has already been used. Click the alert icon to view a description of the error.
See Errors & Warnings window.
Add and remove transcode settings
If you want to transcode a source file to multiple formats, you can add additional
transcoding instructions to a job. You do this by adding one or more output rows.
You can also remove output rows.
In Compressor, do one of the following:
• Add an output row: On the right side of the Setting/Location/Filename row of the job
area, click Add, and in the window that appears, select one or more transcode settings,
choose a location, then click OK.
• Remove an output row: Position the pointer over the output row that you want to
remove, then click Remove (at the right end of the row).
Change the name of a file to be output
When you apply a setting to source file, Compressor assigns a default name to the
output file: the source filename appended with the extension of the format used during
transcoding (.mov or .mp4, for example). If you want, you can change that default name.
• In the Filename column of an output row, double-click the name of a file, then enter a
new name.
Note: If you see an alert icon
to the left of the filename, the filename assigned to that
output row has already been used. Click the alert icon to view a description of the error.
See Errors & Warnings window.
Transcode a batch
After you’ve configured the jobs in your batch using the tasks above, you can transcode
the batch.
• In Compressor, click the Start Batch button in the lower-right corner of the batch area
and, if necessary, follow the instructions to complete the transcoding process.
