Modify an applied setting’s properties
After you apply a setting to a source file, you can modify its properties in the inspector.
1. In Compressor, select the output row of a job in the batch area.
The properties of the selected setting are displayed in the inspector. If the inspector is
not visible, click the Inspector button
in the upper-right corner of the Compressor
window.
2. To view general, video, or audio properties, click General, Video, or Audio in
the inspector.
3. To modify a property, adjust its control in the inspector.
To learn more about a setting’s properties, see Formats and settings in Compressor.
The type of setting you modify determines whether or not the setting will be saved:
• If you modify the properties of a custom setting, the changes are saved automatically.
• If you modify the properties of a built-in setting, the changes are not saved.
In this case, if you want to save your changes, you can create a custom setting. See
Create custom settings in Compressor.
Create custom settings in Compressor
You can create your own custom settings, either based on an existing built-in or custom
setting, or from scratch. You can also create groups of settings, rename a custom setting,
or delete a custom setting.
