About the Actions Pane
You can use the Actions pane in the Inspector to set options related to transcode
completion notification emails, post-transcoding AppleScript options, and default
destinations.
Choose button
“Email Notification to”
checkbox
The Actions pane contains the following items.
• Email Notification to: If you want to be notified when a particular transcoding job has
been completed, select this checkbox and enter the appropriate email address in the
text field. (You can enter only one email address.) This is useful if you are transcoding
an especially large source media file that may take many hours to complete. Rather
than continuously checking to see if the transcoding is finished, you just wait until you
receive an email.
Note: To enable this email feature, you must first enter an email address and outgoing
mail server in Compressor preferences. (Choose Compressor > Preferences.)
• Execute AppleScript on output: Select this checkbox to activate a chosen script. Even if
you have chosen a script, it will not run unless you have selected this checkbox.
• Choose button: Click this button to select an existing script that you want to assign to
the output file. Adding a script is a useful way of applying post-transcoding actions to
your job, such as adding metadata to QuickTime files or adding interactive QuickTime
elements.
• Default Destination pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to assign a destination to the
particular setting. (This is in contrast to setting a default destination for all settings in
Compressor preferences.) For information about setting a default destination for all
settings in Compressor preferences, see
Setting Compressor Preferences .
