Intro to advanced adjustments in Compressor
For basic transcoding jobs, you can use the built-in presets and destinations that come with Compressor. However, if you have complex or custom transcoding specifications, you can make adjustments to the built-in presets and destinations in a number of ways:
For a custom transcoding job that you will use only once, apply a built-in preset or destination and then modify its properties in the inspector. See View and modify a preset’s properties in Compressor and View destination properties in Compressor.
For a custom transcoding job that you will use more than once, create a custom preset or destination (by duplicating and modifying a built-in preset or destination). See Create custom presets in Compressor and Create a custom destination in Compressor.
You can also customize the various other components of a Compressor batch, including save locations, job properties, job actions, and batch properties.
