78 Chapter 6 Creating Jobs and Submitting Batches
Assigning Settings to Source Media Files
You need to create a job (add a setting to the source media file) before your source
media file can be successfully submitted for transcoding.
To create a job:
1 Open the Batch window.
2 Enter a name for the batch in the Batch Name field. (Or Compressor will name the
batch after the first source file in the batch list you create in Step 3.)
3 Add source media files to the Batch table.
See “ Adding Source Media Files to a Batch ” on page 58 for more information.
4 Once you have at least one source media file and at least one available setting, do one
of the following to assign the setting:
 Click the Setting pop-up icon for a media file, then choose a setting from the menu
that appears. If you select a setting group, you can choose a specific setting or
choose All if you want to assign all the settings to the source media file.
