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.
