Choose a destination for your job’s targets in one of the following ways.

Do nothing: Accept the default destination Source (the same folder as the source media

files originated from) specified in the Destination column.

Use the target’s shortcut menu to change one setting at a time: Control-click the target

you want to change and then choose any of the preexisting destinations available to
you from the Destination submenu.

Use the target’s shortcut
menu to change the
destination for the
selected targets.

You can also choose Other from the shortcut menu to open a dialog to choose any
location available to your computer as the destination.

Note: Choosing Other allows you to choose any location currently accessible from your
desktop, including a mounted open volume. However, this volume must remain open
until the batch has been transcoded.

You can select multiple targets and change all their destinations at once using the same
method. You can also use the Destination submenu of the Target menu to choose a
destination, or drag a destination from the Destinations tab to the target.

See

Creating and Changing Destinations

for more information on destinations.
