About the Actions Pane
You use the Actions pane in the Inspector to set options related to transcode
completion notification emails and post-transcoding AppleScript options.
The Actions pane contains the following items:
 Email Notification to: If you want to be notified when a particular transcoding job has
been completed, select this box and enter the appropriate email address in the text
field. (You can only enter one email address.) This is useful if you are transcoding an
especially large source media file that may take many hours to complete. Rather than
continuously checking to see if the transcoding is finished, you just wait until you
receive an email.
Note: To enable this email feature, you must first enter an email address and outgoing
mail server in Compressor Preferences. (Choose Compressor > Preferences.)
 Execute AppleScript on output: Select this box to activate a chosen AppleScript. Even if
you have chosen an AppleScript, it will not run unless you have selected this box.
 Choose button: Click this button to select an existing AppleScript that you want to
assign to the output file. Adding an AppleScript is a useful way of applying post-
transcoding actions to your job, such as adding metadata to QuickTime files or
adding interactive QuickTime elements.
