The Batch Window 23 Assigning Settings Settings are groups of processing and encoding parameters that are used to encode the source file. It is very easy to customize settings and use them again and again. You can assign these settings to project files in the Project window, or as a shortcut, you can directly assign them in the Batch window via the context menus. For more on Settings see "Settings" on page 47. To assign a setting to a file: 1. In the Batch window, double-click the project setting or press a T. The Settings window appears. Note: You can also Control-click the Project row and choose Settings from the context menu to access the Settings window. 2. Use the Settings window to select the setting(s) to assign to the source file. 3. Click Apply to close the Settings window and return to the Batch window. The selected setting appears next to the file. You can assign a setting to several projects at once. Use this feature if you have many files to encode that use the same parameters. To specify the same setting for multiple projects: 1. Highlight more than one project in the batch. 2. Double-click the Setting column next to any of the highlighted projects or choose Batch > Specify Setting. 3. Use the Settings window to choose the setting to assign to the projects. 4. Click Apply. The Settings window closes and returns you to the Batch window. The selected setting appears next to all the highlighted files. You can automate the process using a Watch Folder. See "Watch Folders" on page 232. You can also assign multiple settings to one or more files, which is helpful for creating multiple versions of the movie. For more information, see "Assigning Multiple Settings to Multiple Projects" on page 56.
