How to Apply Settings to Multiple Clips in Compressor
Compressor is a software tool that Apple includes with video and audio packages such as Logic Pro and Final Cut. Its purpose is to allow users fine control over the specific encoding settings of their projects. Encoding settings can be saved, then applied uniformly to batches of files. This allows you to quickly and easily create consistent, uniform file types from groups of disparate formats.
