Instead of waiting for a conversion to finish before starting your next conversion, you can queue jobs to the Queue Manager. The Queue Manager serves as a job priority tool and can queue multiple jobs with different priorities, similar to how a print spooler handles printing jobs.
For example, if you are converting a long source file to several different target formats and would like quickly preview the outcome of each format prior to converting the whole source file, you can set the source’s in and out points for 10 seconds. Once you have verified the outcome of each format, you can Queue the whole file to be converted while continuing to check on other format’s target settings.
1. To queue a job, set up the conversion as you normally would, but instead of clicking the Convert Tab and starting conversion, click the Queue button just below it.
2. In the Job Name field, enter a name for the job. The job’s name will appear in the Queue Manager. By default the job name is the current date and time.
3. If you want to provide more information about the job, enter a description of the job in the Job Description field. The job’s description will also appear in the Queue Manager.
4. Choose a Job Priority from the drop-down box. The higher the job priority is, the sooner the Queue Manager will complete the job. Higher-priority jobs are started before lower-priority jobs. The highest priority is 9 which means the job will be started as soon as any current jobs are complete, unless there are more priority 9 jobs already waiting.
5. Click the Queue button to add the job to the queue.
Note:There are three ways to open the Queue manager to view the job progress:
- Click the Manage button on the left of the ProCoder 3 application
- Click the Launch Queue Manager button in the Job Queuing window
- Launch the Job Queue Manager from the Start menu in Programs > ProCoder 3
