Click Save.

Your newly created Droplet appears as an icon at whatever location you selected. You
are now ready to use it for transcoding.

Checking Droplet Settings and AppleScript Options

The Show at Launch checkbox at the bottom of the Droplet window determines
whether or not a Droplet window opens when a batch is dragged to a Droplet icon. If it
is selected, the Droplet window opens when you drag a batch to the Droplet icon, and
you can view the Droplet settings.

If this checkbox is not selected, double-click the Droplet icon to open its window and
see the settings.

See “

About the Droplet Window

” on page 236 for more information about

Droplet settings.

You can see a list of AppleScript dictionary options that can be used with a Droplet by
dragging the Droplet icon over the Script Editor located in /Applications/AppleScript.
