When you select a setting in the Settings tab or a target in a batch’s job, the Inspector shows one
of six panes.
Summary pane
The Summary pane contains the Summary table, which describes all the settings (video and audio

The Summary table includes the following details:
•

Estimated file size: When a source media file is assigned to the setting, the estimated total file
size is displayed here. When a source media file is not assigned to the setting, this field shows
an estimated size per hour of source length for the source media.
Note: The estimated total file size is not available for all output formats.
•

sample rate, channels, bits per sample, and codec type.
