View and modify job properties in Compressor
When you add a source file to Compressor and apply transcoding instructions, you create a transcoding job. Jobs are displayed in the batch area of the Compressor window. When you select a job in the batch area, its properties are shown in the Job inspector.
View a job’s properties
Select the job in the Compressor batch area.
Tip: To select a job, rather than one of its output rows, click the source filename at the top of the job.
If necessary, click the Inspector button
to reveal the inspector pane.
The selected job’s properties are displayed in the Job inspector. The properties that appear in the Job inspector vary depending on the type of source file in the job.
Modify a job’s properties
In the Job inspector in Compressor, adjust any of the available controls, including language, color space, and metadata annotations.

Add metadata to a job
In Compressor, you can add metadata to a standard, image sequence, or surround sound job in the form of job annotations and closed-caption files. For instructions, see Work with metadata annotations in Compressor.
