You can only select destinations that have already been created using the Destinations

tab. If no custom destinations have been created, only four default Apple destinations

appear in the Choose Destination pop-up menu. See Creating a Destination for more

information about destinations.

5 Click Save.

Your newly created Droplet appears as an icon at whatever location you selected. You

are now ready to use it for transcoding.

Creating a Droplet from the File Menu

No matter where you are working in the Compressor application, you can always use the

Create Droplet item in the File menu.

To create a Droplet using the Create Droplet command in the File menu

1 Choose File > Create Droplet.

The Droplet Settings Selection and Save dialog appears.

2 In the Save Droplet dialog, select one or more settings or setting groups that you want

to save as a Droplet.

You can Shift-click or Command-click to add multiple settings and/or setting groups to

a Droplet. In this situation, every source media file is transcoded by every setting in the

Droplet. For example, if you submitted two source media files to a Droplet containing

three settings, Compressor creates six different output media files.

3 In the Save Droplet dialog, enter a name for the Droplet in the Save As field and use the

Where pop-up menu to navigate to the Droplet location.

You can save your Droplet anywhere on your computer, but it’s most convenient to save

it on your desktop, so you can conveniently drag source media files to it.
