Advanced adjustments overview

For basic transcoding jobs, you can use the built-in settings and destinations that come with Compressor. However, if you have complex or custom transcoding specifications, you can make adjustments to the built-in settings and destinations in a number of ways:

• For a custom transcoding job that you will use only once, apply a built-in setting or destination and then modify its properties in the inspector. See View and modify setting properties and View and modify destination properties.

• For a custom transcoding job that you will use more than once, create a custom setting or destination (by duplicating and modifying a built-in setting or destination). See Create and work with custom settings and Create and work with custom destinations.

You can also customize the various other components of a Compressor batch, including save locations, job properties, job actions, and batch properties. See Work with locations, View and modify job properties, and Work with batches.
