 Duplicate button: (Remains dimmed until there is at least one destination that you
have added to the table.) Copies exactly whatever destination is selected. Using this
option allows you to create a new destination from a pre-existing destination which
you can then adjust according to your needs, rather than creating a new destination
from scratch.
 Remove ( – ): (Remains dimmed until there is at least one destination that you have
added to the table.) Removes a selected destination from the Destinations table
immediately. You are not asked for confirmation, so be sure you want to remove the
destination before clicking this button.
About the Destinations Inspector
When you double-click or select a destination in the Destinations tab, the Inspector
window opens. It contains the following items:
 Name: Use this field to modify the name of the destination preset.
 Template: Use this pop-up menu to add file identifiers to your output media file. You
can manually edit this field. Selecting any of the following file identifiers adds it to
your output media filename:
 Date: Date the file was transcoded in the YYYY-MM-DD format
 Setting Name: Name of the setting used for the transcoding job
 Source Media Name: Source media filename without its extension
 Source Media Extension: Extension of the source media file
 Sample From Defined Template: Displays a sample of what the output filename will
look like with any file identifiers you have added. You cannot edit the Sample line,
but it changes dynamically based on the file identifiers you add or delete.
 Path: Displays the path to the destination folder.
