Using Droplets

241

If a Droplet window is open, you can drag your source media files directly to the Source
Files table and submit them for transcoding.

To transcode source media files using an open Droplet:

1

Double-click the Droplet icon to open it.

2

Using the Finder, locate the source media files and drag them into the Droplet’s Source
Files table.

3

Modify your Droplet settings as necessary, then click Submit.

Each source media file is processed according to the existing setting or group of
settings contained within the Droplet. For example, if you submitted two source media
files to a Droplet containing three settings, Compressor would create six different
output media files.

4

Open the Batch Monitor if you want to view the processing status of your source
media files.

See the Batch Monitor User Manual for more information.
