Chapter 2 Compressor workows 15
Manual batch processing workow
If none of the precongured batch settings work for your transcode but you want to use the settings
and destinations that come with Compressor, you can manually build and process your batch. The
following workow shows you an easy way to manually build and process a batch in Compressor,
summarizing each stage in the process and providing links to the instructions you’ll need.
Stage 1: Manually import source media les
You’ll need to manually import each source media le into Compressor, either by dragging les
into the batch or by clicking the Add File button. After you import les, you’ll see that new jobs
are created for each source le you added to the batch.
Each source
file creates
a job in the
batch.
Target area (empty
in this case) of a job
For more information, see Importing overview on page 17.
Stage 2: Assign settings and destinations
You’ll need to assign at least one setting and destination to each source media le job before
you can submit the batch for processing. You can also add multiple settings to the same job
to transcode multiple versions of the media le. Each setting-destination pair is known in
Compressor as a target.
For instructions on how to assign settings and destinations, see Assign settings to source
media on page 32 and Destinations overview on page 137.
Stage 3: Submit your batch for processing
When each media le has at least one setting and destination associated with it, you can submit
your batch for processing. For more information, see Submit a batch on page 147.
You can view the progress of your transcode in Share Monitor. This is a good way to monitor
when your batch has nished transcoding and if any problems occurred during the transcoding
process. For more information about Share Monitor, see Share Monitor Help.
