Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://manuscript.knightsoftheeditingtable.com/extensions/compass/how-it-works.md). # How it works Compass controls following Premiere Pro settings: * Export Media path * Export Frame path ![](/files/sUYWzwYWmk03SEW81lmj) ### Relative path When **R** button is active Compass will use path that is relative to current project file. This is useful for projects that use folder structure templates. {% hint style="info" %} If project is a part of Production, then path will be relative to Production folder. {% endhint %} ### Wildcard names To have more control over path, use [wildcard names](/extensions/compass/wildcard-names.md) to create dynamic folder names for each project. When input is activated, wildcards will appear below input.\ Click on any of them to insert a wildcard at cursor position.
### Override settings Compass settings affect all projects. If needed settings could be changed for a specific project. Settings will be active whenever the project becomes active. ### Folder Creation If export path does not exist, Compass will create all necessary folders. ### Supported Export Media dialogs Compass supports all types of export dialogs: * Export Media dialog * Export tab (Premiere Pro 2022 and after) * Quick Export * Export from Media Encoder queue ## Languages Compass is translated to all Premiere Pro supported languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. ![](/files/Kwgl3aW3yYrcFjaKnaac) {% hint style="info" %} If there is an incorrect translation, please write to {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://manuscript.knightsoftheeditingtable.com/extensions/compass/how-it-works.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
