11. The Geometry and Actions Panes

While you’ll use Inspector’s Encoder pane for the “heavy lifting” in Compressor, in the other panes you’ll fine-tune and finesse encoding jobs. In the Geometry and Actions panes, you’ll change the output frame size, adjust the aspect ratio of the output movie, pad the source movie inside the output frame size, and assign actions to jobs in the batch table that will run an AppleScript or send an email when the job is completed.
