Change an output’s save location in Compressor
A location in Compressor specifies where the transcoded file is saved after transcoding. The default save location is Source—the same folder that contains the source file you’re transcoding. However, you can manually change the save location of any job in a batch, or set a new default location for specific custom presets.
Change a single output’s save location
In the batch area in Compressor, Control-click the output row you want to modify.
In the shortcut menu, choose Location, then do either of the following:
Choose a built-in or custom location: Click a location in the list.
Choose a different location: Click Other, navigate to a new location on your system, then click Choose.
Tip: If you often save to a location that’s not one of the built-in locations in Compressor, you can create a custom location.
The new save location is displayed in the Location column of the batch area.
Set a new default save location for a custom preset
In Compressor, select a custom preset in the Presets pane.
In the General Properties area of the General inspector, click the “Default location” pop-up menu, then choose a new location for the preset.
Whenever you use this custom preset, its output file will be saved to the new location.
