with Apple Qmaster.
To submit Shake batches with Apple Qmaster
1 Open Compressor and choose Apple Qmaster > Create Rendering Jobs.

2 Enter a name for the batch in the “Batch name” field. (This is the name that appears in
Share Monitor after you submit the batch.)
3 Do one of the following:
• Drag the Shake (.shk) file to the Batch table (the middle area of the Apple Qmaster
window).
• Choose Shake from the pop-up menu, then click the Add (+) button to add a job.
4 In the dialog that appears, do the following:
a In the Script field, enter the location of the Shake file if it isn’t already shown. (If you
dragged the file to the window, the file location is already there.)
Note: The Shake field shows the default location of Shake on your computer. If it is not
correct, be sure to update it.
b If you wish, edit the available values and settings to customize the command. For more
