Note: You can drag in only one source file because batch templates contain only one
job. If you drag multiple files to the job, only the last file is added to this job and all other
files are ignored.
Stage 3:
Submitting the Batch
Once the job includes a source media file, a setting, a destination, and an output filename,
it is ready for processing.
To submit the batch for processing
µ
Click the Submit button to submit the batch containing your job.
A dialog appears where you can name this submission, choose whether to use distributed
processing, and set the priority of this submission. In most cases you can leave the settings

For more details about this Submit dialog, see
After you submit a batch, you can open the Compressor History window or the
Batch Monitor application so you can monitor the transcoding progress of your batch.
You can also set Compressor Preferences to open Batch Monitor automatically.
Stage 4:
Using Post-Transcoding Actions
Almost every batch template includes an automatic post-transcoding action. When
Compressor has completed transcoding one of these batch template jobs to an output
media file, it will execute a corresponding automatic action, such as uploading the file
to a YouTube account, running an Automator workflow, or burning a DVD.
For more information about job actions such as these, see
