Assign destinations
When you assign settings to your targets, the default destination is automatically also assigned.
You can set the default destination in Compressor preferences. (Choose Compressor >
Preferences.) The default destination can be one of those supplied with Compressor or a custom
destination you create. For details about working with destinations, see
on page 140.
You can replace the default destination with any other destination, or even manually choose a
location to save the output file. There are a number of ways to assign a destination to a source
file. As with assigning settings, different methods have different advantages.
Assign a destination by dragging
1
In the Settings and Destinations window, click the Destinations tab.
2
Select a destination and drag it to the target in the Batch window.
Drag the destination
to a job with a target
in the Batch window.
Select a destination
to apply to the target.
The destination part of the target updates to show the new destination.
Note: When you assign a destination by dragging, you can assign it only to a single job.
Additionally, you cannot create a temporary destination using this method.
Using the dragging method, you can also create a new target (with an empty setting) by
dragging the destination to an empty part of the job.
