Assigning Settings to Source Media Files
You can use a variety of methods to assign settings to a job. Some methods, such as
dragging the setting from the Settings tab, are better suited to working with one job.
Other methods, such as using the shortcut menu, are better for assigning the same
settings to a group of jobs. You can even assign settings by dragging (settings or droplets)
from the Finder.
Note: The following steps assume you have already added source media files to a batch,
creating the jobs to which you are adding the settings. See
for details on importing source media files.
Tip: You can Option-click a setting group’s disclosure triangle to expand that group (and
all subgroups) and show all the settings it contains.
To assign a setting to a job by dragging

Select one or more settings or groups of settings in the Settings tab.
