Notification when Apple compressor is done
I'm using the Apple compressor app from the command line to generate movies from sequences of images. This works fine, but the relevant command line command just exits before the job is done (while the compressor app carries out the task in the background). Hence one is left wondering when the job is finished. Using top I can check whether Apple compressor is still active, but I was hoping there is an option that let's me know when the job is done (ideally via osascript).
- Create an Automator workflow that sends a notification.
- Set the Automator workflow as the action to use on completion.
Run Automator Workflow
The Automator Workflow job action applies an Automator workflow to an output file after transcoding.
- Workflow: Click the Choose button to set the Automator workflow that the job action triggers.
