To modify a setting already assigned to a source media file in the Batch table:
1
Open the Batch window.

Do one of the following:
 Select the setting in the Batch table that you want to modify and choose Window >
Inspector to open the Inspector window.
 Double-click the setting in the Batch table that you want to modify.
The setting appears in the Inspector window with “Batch selection” in the Name field.
Don’t worry about damaging the original setting. This is a temporary copy of the
setting you selected, and not the setting itself. So you can make temporary
modifications to the setting for just this one batch submission.
See “
” on page 65 for more information.

 Encoder pane: Change the output format and video and audio codecs and their

 Click the Save As button at the bottom of the Inspector window and enter a name to
create a new setting containing the modifications you made in Step 3. The new
