1. In the Settings tab, select one or more settings, setting groups, or a destination that you want to save as a droplet.

   Note: You can Shift-click or Command-click to add multiple settings or setting groups.

   If you selected more than one setting, a destination that contains two or more settings, or a group of settings, every setting in your selection will be included in the droplet. For example, if you submit two source media files to a Droplet containing three settings, Compressor creates six different output media files.

3. In the window that appears, do the following:

   • Enter a name for the droplet in the Save As field.

   • Specify a location for the droplet using the Where pop-up menu.

   • In the Location pop-up menu, choose where you want the droplet to save transcoded files.

4. Click Save.

Your newly created droplet appears as an icon in the location you chose in the Where menu.

1. In the Finder, drag one or more media files onto the droplet.

   

   When you release the mouse button, the Droplet window opens.

   

2. In the Droplet window, do either or both of the following:

   • Choose a new save location from the Location pop-up menu.

   • Specify a computer or group of computers from the Process On pop-up menu.
