# makeBatch()

Creates a batch object to handle generating multiple sample buffers.

```
func makeBatch() -> AVSampleBufferGeneratorBatch
```

## Discussion

Generating sample buffers in batches optimizes performance by allowing the system to asynchronously load sample data and optimize I/O when possible.
