Modifying Target Options
Target filters are used for enhancing and optimizing the final output files created using the parameters you set for each specific target.
For example, if you are creating both MPEG and QuickTime files from a particular source and you want only the QuickTime file to have an extra brightness setting attached, then you can adjust the brightness using the Color Correction filter on only the QuickTime preset in the Target tab.
This view displays the complete set of all the Target Parameters. Target Parameters inform you about all the characteristics of each parameter. This information can also be referred to as the metadata of the target’s format specifications.
1. Select the Target format you wish to modify
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. Select the Option you wish to modify and edit its properties under the Parameters window.
Note: From this view, you can also Apply, Save and Delete Preset Target options.
