How to Add Setting Actions

You use the Actions pane in the Inspector window to set post-transcoding options for
your output media file, such as sending an email, adding metadata to QuickTime files, or
transferring the transcoded file to a streaming web server or to DVD Studio Pro.

To add an email notification to your setting

1

Open the Settings tab, or open a batch with a job that has a setting applied to it.

2

Select the setting in the Settings tab that you want to modify.

This must be a custom setting, because Apple settings are read-only. (Or you can select
a setting already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)

3

Click the Actions tab in the Inspector.

4

Select the “Email Notification to” checkbox and enter the relevant email address in the
accompanying field.

Note: To enable this email feature, you must first enter an email address and outgoing
mail server in Compressor preferences. (Choose Compressor > Preferences.)

To add a script to your setting

1

Open the Settings tab.

2

Select the setting in the Settings tab that you want to modify.

This must be a custom setting, because Apple settings are read-only. (Or you can select
a setting already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)

3

Click the Actions tab in the Inspector.

4

Click the Choose button.

The File Selection dialog appears.
