Note: When submitting larger batches (for example, nine source media files with three
settings assigned to each), there is about a 10-second delay after submitting the batch
when nothing happens. Be patient. Compressor is preparing the large batch before it
can be properly submitted for processing. If you are transcoding a large batch, you should
turn off the screen saver application on your computer. This will improve the speed of
your transcode because resources are not being diverted to the screen saver.
Once the batch has been submitted, a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears
in the batch.
Click the warning
symbol to see an
explanation about
why it is there.
These warning symbols are used by Compressor whenever an issue exists with a batch.
You can place the pointer over the symbol to see a tooltip defining why it is there, or you
can click the symbol to open a dialog about it.
In the above case, since the batch has been submitted, this warning is to let you know
that a file with that name now exists at that destination, and that if you submit again,
that file will be overwritten.
You can bypass the submit dialog when submitting a batch. The submitted batch
automatically uses the settings from the previously submitted batch.
To submit a batch using previous settings
Do one of the following:
µ
Choose File > Submit with Previous Settings.
µ
Click the “Submit with Previous Settings” item in the Batch window toolbar (if present).
See About the Batch Window for more information about using the Batch window.
