Export and import command sets in the Command Editor

You can export a command set to create a backup or to share the set with another user. Exported command sets are saved in a file that can be imported back into Compressor at a later time. You can also import a command set.

Export a command set

  1. Choose Compressor > Commands > Customize.

    The Command Editor appears.

  2. Select the command set that you want to export from the pop-up menu in the top-left corner of the Command Editor.

    The command set you selected should have a checkmark to the left of its name in the pop-up menu.

  3. In the same pop-up menu, choose Export.

  4. Type a name for the command set in the Save As field, navigate to the location where you want to save the exported set, then click Save.

    The file is saved in the location you chose, with the filename extension .commandset.

Import a command set

  1. Choose Compressor > Commands > Import.

  2. In the window that appears, navigate to the location where you’ve stored a command set file, select it, and click Open.

    If you’re already using a command set with the same name, a window appears and prompts you to rename the command set.

    The new command set is added to the Commands submenu of the Compressor menu and to the pop-up menu in the Command Editor.

View shortcuts for a different command set

If your system has multiple command sets, you can easily switch between them.

Do one of the following:

  • Choose Compressor > Commands, then choose a command set from the submenu.

    The Command Editor window appears, showing the command set you chose.

  • If you’ve already opened the Command Editor, choose a command set from the pop-up menu at the top-left corner of the window.
