Add and remove transcoding presets in Compressor
A preset is a group of preconfigured transcoding instructions that you apply to a source media file. For basic transcoding jobs, you can use the built-in presets that come with Compressor.
Adding a preset to a job creates an output row, which also shows the output’s save location and filename.
Add a preset
After you import media in Compressor, click Add on the right side of the Preset/Location/Filename row of the job area.
In the window that appears, select one or more transcode presets
, choose a save location from the pop-up menu, then click OK.
The output instructions that you specified appear in the job. If you chose multiple presets, each output appears in a separate row.
Tip: You can also apply a preset by dragging it from the Presets pane onto a job in the batch area.
Remove a preset
Position the pointer over the output row that you want to remove, then click Remove (at the right end of the row).
If you have complex or custom transcoding specifications, you can make adjustments to built-in presets by modifying a preset’s properties or creating a custom preset.
