Change an output’s save location in Compressor
A location in Compressor specifies where the transcoded file is saved after transcoding. When you apply a preset to a job, Compressor will automatically set it to output to the default location denoted in General settings, but you can change the location of a specific output row.
Tip: You can set a different default location for custom presets by adjusting the “Default location” option in the preset’s General properties. When you apply this custom preset, its default location will override the default listed in your General settings.
In the batch area in Compressor, Control-click the output row with the location you want to change.
In the shortcut menu, select Location, then do either of the following:
Choose a built-in or custom location: Click a location in the list.
Choose a different location: Click Other, navigate to a new location on your system, then click Choose.
Tip: If you often save to a location that’s not one of the built-in locations in Compressor, you can create a custom location.
The new save location is displayed in the Location column of the batch area.
