11. Filters, Geometry, and Actions Panes

The Encoder pane of the Inspector window is where all the heavy lifting and major preset adjustments are performed in Compressor. By using the other panes of the Inspector window you can also fine-tune and finesse encoding by adding filters, changing the output frame size, adjusting the aspect ratio of the output movie, and lastly assigning actions to jobs in the Batch table that will either run an AppleScript or send an email when encoding completes.
