Helix Mobile Producer On-Demand User’s Guide26Creating a New Job FileWhenever you encode a clip or broadcast, Helix Mobile Producer On-Demandcreates a job automatically, letting you choose whether or not to export the jobsettings to a file. You can also create a job file without actually encoding anystreams. This allows you to define job profiles to use later. The following stepsdescribe the basic procedure for creating, editing, and saving a job file.➤ To create a new job:1. Start a new job file by choosing File>New Job or pressing Ctrl+N. Specifythe export type and the encoding properties (input type, output type,audio/video tracks). A new, untitled job is created.2. Define your encoding settings. You can set up your audiences, define clipinformation, turn on video filters, create input and output file names, andso forth.3. You can export your job by choosing File>Export Job. The job file isautomatically exported with the file extension .xml.Using and Modifying Existing JobsWarning! Give the job file a descriptive title that will help youto remember the purpose of the job. For example, you mightname a job file GeneralVideoForDialUpModems.xml.Note: You can share an exported job by giving the job file toanother Helix Mobile Producer On-Demand user. If youdefined inputs and outputs, the user needs access to thosesame sources and destinations to run the job.Once you have exported a job file, you can use it as the basis for otherencoding jobs. Suppose that a certain job file has all the basic settings youwant, but for a certain clip you also want to turn on the video noise reductionfilter. You just import the job file, turn on the noise reduction filter, andencode the clip. When you’re done, you can discard the changes, or export thejob under a new job file.Tip: Helix Mobile Producer On-Demand supplies a number ofpredefined job files that are stored in the defaults subdirectoryunder the Helix Mobile Producer On-Demand main directory.You can use these files as templates for your own jobs, or createyour own jobs from scratch using the graphical user interface.
