To simplify your encoding workflow you can encode multiple videos using watch folders. Here's how Squeeze can do it. Produced by Coby Rich, Product Marketing Manager, Sorenson Squeeze.
In the input window of Squeeze click on the "Watch Folder" icon. Next you'll choose a destination for your watch folder and create a new folder by click on the "New Folder" button. We'll title this "Squeezed Video". Your folder when then appear in the batch tree window in the main interface.
Next, apply a preset or multiple presets to the watch folder you created. After you apply your presets and filters, click the "Squeeze It" button. You'll notice the word "Watching" appears. This means the application is waiting for you to place your videos in the watch folder. Next, just drop your videos in the watch folder, and the encoding begins. Inside the watch folder the output files will be place in a "CompressedOutput" folder and the source files will be placed into a "CompletedSource" folder.
Watch folders are a great timesaver. Especially if you have multiple people needing videos encoded.
