Apple Compressor 3 - Manual (Page 331)

• Duplicate button: Makes a copy of the selected destination, placing it in the Custom
folder. Using this option allows you to create a new destination from a preexisting
destination, which you can then adjust according to your needs, rather than creating
a new destination from scratch.
• Remove (-): Removes a selected custom destination from the Destinations tab
immediately. You are not asked for confirmation, so be sure you want to remove the
destination before clicking this button.
Note: You cannot remove the destinations from the Apple folder.
About the Remote Destination Dialog
If you click the Add (+) button and choose Remote from the pop-up menu to add a remote
destination, the Remote destination dialog appears.
Host Name is required.
File Path is required.
The Remote destination dialog contains the following fields.
• Name: Use this field to modify the name of the destination preset.
• Template: Use this pop-up menu to add file identifiers to your output media file. You
can manually edit this field by dragging the elements to reorder them. Selecting any
of the following file identifiers adds it to your output media filename:
• Date: Date the file was transcoded in the YYYY-MM-DD format
• Setting Name: Name of the setting used for the transcoding job
• Source Media Name: Source media filename without its extension
• Source Media Extension: Extension of the source media file
• Sample From Defined Template: Displays a sample of what the output filename will look
like with any file identifiers you have added. You cannot edit the Sample line, but it
changes dynamically based on the file identifiers you add or delete.
