Compressor error - "You must enter a name for this batch submission"

Sometimes when you submit a batch, you may get the error:
"You must enter a name for this batch submission. This is the name that identifies this submission in the Batch Monitor and History window."



This error pops up when you drag items into the batch window in the wrong order. You must drag the clip in first and then drag in the settings and destinations.

There really shouldn't be a specific order for doing this but unfortunately Compressor can be very illogical at times.
