YouTube)—and devices—such as Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, and Android. The presets in-
clude: size, bitrate (data rate), and frames per second (fps) rate. When you export a movie
for playback on a specific type of device at a certain bandwidth, you select an encoder
(codec). Each encoder has a corresponding decoder that decompresses and interprets the
data for playback. You can batch process multiple media files to expedite the workflow
process. For example, you can add, reorder, and change the encoding settings of files in
the batch processing queue while Media Encoder encodes other files. You can also use the
Watch folder to help you automate the process. It's a folder you add to the Watch folder
list that automatically encodes any files you place in it.
