Adding Actions
You use the Actions pane in the Inspector window to set post-transcoding options for
your output media file, such as sending an email, adding metadata to QuickTime files,
or transferring the transcoded file to a streaming web server or to DVD Studio Pro.
To add an email notification to your setting:
1 Open the Settings tab of the Presets window.
2 Select the setting in the Settings table that you want to modify. (Or select a setting
already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)
3 Click the Actions tab in the Inspector.
4 Select the “Email Notification to” checkbox and enter the relevant email address in the
accompanying field.
Note: To enable this email feature, you must first enter an email address and outgoing
mail server in Compressor Preferences. (Choose Compressor > Preferences.)
To add an AppleScript to your setting:
1 Open the Settings tab of the Presets window.
2 Select the setting in the Settings table that you want to modify. (Or select a setting
already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)
3 Click the Actions tab in the Inspector.
