# Getting Started

Clips can be added to EditReady by selecting `Open` under the `File` menu, or by dragging clips into the EditReady window. Your clips will appear with thumbnails in the EditReady window. You may toggle between `List View` and `Thumbnail` view using the selector in the toolbar.

If you'd like to convert all of your clips, simply click the `Convert All` button on the right. If you'd only like to convert some clips, you can select them by clicking the `flag` icon (or selecting `Flag Clip` from the `Clip` menu). Then click `Convert Flagged`.

EditReady includes a variety of presets for popular editing formats like ProRes and DNxHD. You can customize these further by creating custom presets.

Regardless of the preset you select, you have the option of adjusting the destination folder and destination file name. See `Naming your Files` for details.

### Multiple Windows

You can open multiple windows by selecting `New Window` from the `File` menu. This allows you to easily queue different batches, with different settings.

### Monitoring Progress

After starting a batch, the sidebar will toggle to the `Progress` tab, which will show you progress information for each clip. The top of the EditReady window will show you progress information for the overall batch (or batches).
