Processing a Batch 29 Stopping To stop encoding, do either of the following: • Click Stop. • Choose Batch > Stop or press a . (period). Unlike Pause, Stop cancels the encoding of the current file and ceases the processing of the other files in the batch. This is useful to quit Cleaner or shut down your computer. It is also helpful to change the settings or items in a batch or if you are experiencing processing errors. When you click Stop, you cannot resume the encoding of the last file processed, even if stopped midway through the file. If you click Start again for a batch that you stopped, Cleaner processes all the remaining files in the batch that have a status of Ready. The file that was stopped is listed as Stopped in the Status column. To process it again, choose Batch > Clear Project Status, or press a L to return its status to Ready before processing the batch. See "Clearing Project Status" on page 30 for more details. Changing and Restarting You may decide to change the setting used to encode a file after you start processing. For example, after you click Start, you might notice that you forgot to set a video filter or properly crop the movie. To change the setting of a movie that has begun processing, you must stop encoding, change the setting and restart encoding the file from the beginning. To change settings and restart processing: 1. Click Stop. The status of the file changes to Stopped. 2. Modify the setting or assign a new setting to the project. See "Modifying Settings" on page 54 for details on modifying settings. 3. Clear the project status by choosing Batch > Clear Project Status, or by pressing a L. The status of the project file changes back to Ready. 4. Click Start. Note: Stopping encoding produces temporary files whose names are appended with •work. To prevent screen clutter, you may want to delete this file before reprocessing the batch. Status The Status column of the Batch window shows the status of each item in the batch. This enables you to easily find out what files have been processed, what files still need to be processed, and what errors (if any) occurred during processing.
