Batch name field
Enter a name in this field to help you distinguish one batch from another once you
have submitted several of them. Name your batch so that you can easily view its
progress in the Batch Monitor, and recall it from the History drawer if you want to
resubmit it. The default batch name is the name of the first source file in the batch. You
can easily edit the name by double-clicking it.
Adding Source Media Files to a Batch
You need to import the source media files into the Batch table in the Batch window
before you can add any transcoding settings to them. Once they are imported into the
Batch table, the source media files become part of the batch to be submitted.
To add source media files to a batch:
1 Open Compressor.
The Batch window opens with an empty Batch table and Batch Name field.
2 Enter a new name in the Batch Name field.
