6 Creating Jobs
and Submitting Batches
A job consists of a source media file with at least one
setting and destination assigned to it. You create jobs by
adding presets to your source media files in the Batch
table of the Batch window.
Compressor gives you a number of different options for assigning settings and
destinations and submitting and resubmitting batches.
Note: See “About the Settings Tab” on page 62 and “About the Destinations Tab” on
page 224 for more information about creating presets in these windows.
See the following sections for assigning settings and destinations and
submitting batches:
