Turning Off Video Display

It takes time to redraw the final image in the Output window. You can slightly increase the
processing speed by turning off the display of the movie in the Output window. Click the
disclosure triangle next to the movie file name above the video. This closes the video window
so that the image is no longer displayed.

Minimize Processing

If you need to encode a movie many times, you may save time by scaling, filtering and
adjusting it once and saving an intermediate version in an uncompressed format, such as the
Animation codec at 100% quality. You can then encode this intermediate movie without
adjusting it each time. This saves the time it would take to scale, filter and adjust it with each
encoding pass.

Helpers

Cleaner is often used in conjunction with other tools during the production process. To help
streamline this process, the Helpers menu enables you to open files listed in the Batch window
with related applications.
For example, you can easily check the QuickTime files by choosing QuickTime Player from the
Helpers menu. This saves you the time it used to take to find the files on the desktop and drag
them onto the various other applications you need to use.

Using Helpers

When Cleaner is launched, it checks the Helpers folder in the application Folder. Any
programs, aliases to programs, or AppleScripts present in this folder are added to the Helpers
menu. You can then open the source or output movies directly from the Batch window using
these programs or scripts.
The Helpers menu does not appear if there are no items in the Helpers folder.
Note:
To add applications to the Helpers folder:
Create an alias to a program or script.
1.
Place the alias in the Helpers folder in the application folder.
2.
If you add items to the Helpers folder while Cleaner is running, you must restart the
Note:
application before they appear in the Helpers menu.
