How to Add Setting Actions
You use the Actions pane in the Inspector window to set post-transcoding options for
your output media file, such as sending an email, adding metadata to QuickTime files, or
transferring the transcoded file to a streaming web server or to DVD Studio Pro.
To add an email notification to your setting
1
Open the Settings tab, or open a batch with a job that has a setting applied to it.
2
Select the setting in the Settings tab that you want to modify.
This must be a custom setting, because Apple settings are read-only. (Or you can select
a setting already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)
3
Click the Actions tab in the Inspector.
4
Select the “Email Notification to” checkbox and enter the relevant email address in the
accompanying field.
Note: To enable this email feature, you must first enter an email address and outgoing
mail server in Compressor preferences. (Choose Compressor > Preferences.)
To add a script to your setting
1
Open the Settings tab.
2
Select the setting in the Settings tab that you want to modify.
This must be a custom setting, because Apple settings are read-only. (Or you can select
a setting already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)
3
Click the Actions tab in the Inspector.
4
Click the Choose button.
The File Selection dialog appears.
