# Compressor Workflow Use this skill for Compressor app operation, not low-level codec code or an assumed Compressor command-line interface. ## Source Check Open Compressor Help or search the local Tips/Help Viewer catalog for `Compressor`. Confirm that the guide matches the installed app/version before relying on a menu path, preset behavior, or automation feature. Read `references/job-and-delivery-contract.md` for the shared preflight and verification contract. ## Workflow 1. Classify the task: one-off export, batch, preset customization, destination setup, watch-folder decision, Final Cut Pro/Motion handoff, failed job, or artifact verification. 2. Establish the artifact contract: source location, whether it must stay untouched, codec/container, dimensions, frame rate, audio layout/sample rate, captions/HDR/metadata requirements, destination, overwrite rule, and delivery target. 3. Inspect the active Compressor project before changing it: selected jobs, applied settings, destinations, job actions, output names, and any warning or missing-media state. 4. Preserve source state. Prefer a new project or duplicate when altering an existing reusable preset/job. Do not relink, remove jobs, replace source media, or overwrite a prior delivery without a visible user confirmation. 5. Choose the smallest correct setting/preset and destination. Explain any tradeoff between delivery requirements, quality, file size, compatibility, and time. Do not invent a platform specification th
