media file you are creating. If there is no obvious template for your intended workflow,
you may want to try the manual method. For more information, see

3 Click Choose.
Compressor applies a target to the placeholder job. The target contains the appropriate
transcoding setting (based on the template you chose), the default destination (Source),
and a suggested output filename, based on the source filename and the name of the
applied setting.
In the spirit of this simplified batch template workflow, it is recommended that you accept
the default destination Source (the same folder as the source media files originated from)
specified in the Destination column. For more advanced information about destinations,
see
Creating and Changing Destinations .
Stage 2: Adding a Source Media File
Drag a source file from the Finder or the desktop to the placeholder job in the Batch
