Adding Job Actions
You can use job actions to automate your transcoding workflow. For example, you can
automatically upload output media files to web streaming sites such as YouTube, burn
DVDs and Blu-ray discs, trigger Automator workflows, transfer output media files to iTunes,
open output media files in other applications, and create web reference movies. Job
actions are integral to the functioning of batch templates.
For more information about batch templates, see Quick and Easy Compressor Workflow:
Batch Template Method.
