Watch folder for Compressor 3.5
Hi!
I would like to use Compressor 3.5 to transcode and upload mpeg-files automatically.
The ftp-upload works so far, but not automatically.
I was wondering if there is a function that makes Compressor watch for new files in a specific folder, transcode the new files and move the old ones to another folder (e.g. “completed source”).
I could only find an Apple script for Compressor 2, but maybe there is an easier solution – I’m not very experienced with Apple-script.
Thanks for the replies!

Sounds like a great task for Automator. It’s already on your computer, just sitting there, ready and anxious to help you create something fabulous. 😉

Hi Mark,
Well, it’s look easy, but I am a beginner with that.
So I just need some hints, where to start…

LOL! Sorry, you’ve already exhausted all my knowledge on the issue. I remember reading an article from someone who did exactly what you’re asking, but it’s been many months.
Google it.

Allright, I will 😉
But there’s another question: Have you ever used the Email-function of Compressor ?
It seems that the program can send an email when a job is finished, but I can’t make it work.
The settings in the preferences (Email/smtp) are the same as in my Mail-Account, so it should be fine.
I’m already trying for hours …
Thanks a lot!

Nope. Just get that whole flow written in Automator and let Automator email you when it’s finished.
You done yet? 😉
