Creating and Changing Destinations

You can also manually edit this field by doing any of the following:

 Drag the file identifiers to rearrange their order.
 Click on either side of the file identifiers to type additional text.
 Use the Delete key on your keyboard to remove any of the file identifiers.

The Sample From Defined Template field in the Inspector window shows a sample of
the output filename with its chosen file identifiers. The default file identifier
combination is “Source Media Name–Setting Name.”

Note: Avoid customizing your filename templates with anything beginning with a
period ( . ). The resulting file will only be visible via the command line and not visible
using the Mac OS X Finder.
