Compressor Presets destination in Motion
Use this destination to export a project using presets from Compressor, the professional transcoding application designed to work directly with Motion.
Note: The Compressor Presets destination does not appear by default. To add it to the Destinations list, see Create and modify share destinations.
Exporting a project with a Compressor preset provides many of the benefits of Compressor without requiring you to open your project in Compressor. You can use Compressor to create multiple output files in one share operation, or create custom presets that modify your output file (for example, to add a watermark to the video). If you have Compressor installed on your system, you can use any of your Compressor presets with Motion.
If you don’t have Compressor installed on your system and you receive a Compressor preset from someone else, put the preset in this location so that Motion and Compressor can access it:
/Users/username/Library/Group Containers/PTN9T2S29T.com.apple.videoProApps/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings
You may need to create the Compressor and Settings folders using the Finder.
Tip: The Library folder within your home folder is hidden by default. To access it in the Finder, press and hold the Option key and choose Go > Library. See the Mac User Guide, available from the Help menu when the Finder is active.
See Save and share custom presets in the Compressor User Guide.
