Creating and Changing Destinations

Creating a Destination

You use the Destinations tab in the Presets window with the Inspector window to
create and assign a destination and to add file identifiers to your output file. If you
want to save your output media files to a remote destination, you need to enter
information into the Remote dialog so that Compressor can successfully access the
remote server.

You can create the following destinations:

 Local: Any directory on your own computer
 Open Volume: Any shared volume open on your desktop
 Remote: A directory in the default location of an FTP server, if you have suitable

access privileges and permissions

Note: By default, the output media file destination is the same folder from which the
source media files originated. You can change the default destination to any other
Destination preset. Choose Compressor > Preferences and use the Default Destination
pop-menu to choose from the list of Destination presets.

To create a local or open volume destination:

1

Open the Destinations tab of the Presets window.

2

Click the Add ( + ) button and choose Local from the pop-up menu.

The Destination Selection dialog appears.

Choose Local from
the pop-up menu
