Destinations list: This lists destination names and pathnames.
There are four default destinations in the Apple folder: Cluster Storage is a cluster’s scratch
storage location; Desktop is the user’s Desktop folder; Source is the folder from which the
source media file originated; and User’s Movies Folder is the Movies folder in the user’s home
folder.
Note: Cluster Storage applies only to installations of Compressor that have distributed
processing enabled.
•
Create a New Destination (+) button: To create a destination, click this button. A file-selection
dialog appears in which you can select a destination folder.
•
Duplicate Selected Destination button: Makes a copy of the selected destination, placing it in
the Custom folder. Using this option allows you to create a new destination from a preexisting
destination, which you can then adjust according to your needs, rather than creating a new
destination from scratch.
•
Delete Selected Destinations (–) button: Removes a selected custom destination from the
Destinations tab immediately. You are not asked for confirmation, so be sure you want to
remove the destination before clicking this button.
Note: You cannot remove the destinations from the Apple folder.
