Inspector items
When you double-click or select a destination in the Destinations tab, the Inspector window
opens. It contains the following items:

Name: Use this field to modify the name of the destination preset.

Output Filename Template: Use this pop-up menu to add file identifiers to your output media
file. You can manually edit this field. Choosing one of the following file identifiers adds it to
your output media filename:

Date: Date the file was transcoded in the YYYY-MM-DD format

Setting Name: Name of the setting used for the transcoding job

Source Media Name: Source media filename without its extension

Source Media Extension: Extension of the source media file

Sample From Defined Template: Displays a sample of what the output filename will look
like with any file identifiers you’ve added. You cannot edit the Sample line, but it changes
dynamically based on the file identifiers you add or delete.

Path: Displays the path to the destination folder.
