Add additional jobs to a batch
If you want to, you can add additional source files to a batch.
1 Choose Add File from the Add pop-up menu under the batch area.
You can also add a set of image sequence files or surround sound files. For more information,
see
Work with image sequence files on page 61 and Import and modify surround sound files on
page 63.
Add pop-up menu
2 In the file window that appears, select one or more media files, and then click Add.
Shift-click to select consecutive files. Control-click to select nonconsecutive files.
A new job for each of the source files is displayed in the batch area. The job includes a thumbnail
of the source file.
3 Click the Add Outputs button inside the job in the batch area.
4 In the Settings window that appears, select one or more settings or destinations, choose a save
location, and then click OK.
Tip: Shift-click to select consecutive settings; Command-click to select nonconsecutive settings.
The output instructions that you specified appear in the job. If you chose multiple settings
or a destination with multiple outputs, each output appears in a separate row. If you chose a
destination, its job action appears in the upper-right corner of the job area.
5 To change the name of a file to be output, double-click its name in the Filename column, and
then enter a new name.
The default name assigned to each transcoded file is the source filename appended with the
extension of the format used during transcoding (.mov or .mp4, for example).
Note: If you see an alert icon to the left of the filename, the filename assigned to that output
row has already been used.
