Add and modify job actions in Compressor
A job action is an automated action performed on a media file after it’s transcoded, usually for the purpose of sending your video out into the world. For example, Compressor can add the finished file to an email message and send it to a recipient of your choosing, including yourself.
When a job contains a job action, a gear icon is shown in the top-right corner of the job.
Note: A job action is automatically included in each of the built-in destinations provided with Compressor. See Add a destination to a job in Compressor.
