About the Settings Tab
The Settings tab allows you to manage your settings. In conjunction with the Inspector
window, the Settings tab also provides details of all the settings and provides easy access
to common transcoding controls.
You use the Settings tab (together with the Inspector window) to create, modify, or delete
settings, as well as create group folders for multiple settings. You can also create Droplets
from the Settings tab.
The Settings tab contains a list of the existing settings and the necessary buttons to add,
remove, or duplicate a setting and create groups and Droplets.

Settings Tab Buttons
The following buttons are located along the top of the Settings tab.
• Create a New Setting Group: Click to create a folder where you can group existing
settings. Use this button as a way to organize your settings into some sort of logical
order, keeping the Settings tab easy to navigate. Once settings have been created, you
can assign a whole group of settings to a source media file (by dragging it onto the
source file in the Batch window) or you can create a Droplet containing multiple settings.
See Creating Groups of Settings for more information.
