Custom Importing Setting

**Custom Importing Setting**
I have discovered the Custom Importing settings in the iTunes Advanced Preferences. I have some questions/comments and would like some feedback if possible
Stereo Bit Rate - I think I will set this at 192 kbps for the better quality
Sample Rate - I think I will set this to 44.1k, which is the CD standard, but I am wondering what rate is used for the "Auto" setting? It doesn't display when you select this setting?
Channels - Again, I think I will set this at "Stereo" for better quality but I am also wondering what "Auto" is?...stereo or mono?
Stereo Mode - I don't think I want to select "Joint Stereo" because from the research I've read on that, it is lossy and sort of approximates the stereo field but is not true stereo. So I assume the "Normal" setting is just regular stereo?
Filter Frequencies Under 10Hz - the purest in me does NOT want to select this option but can the human ear even detect that low of a frequency?...then again, we can probably feel it more than we hear it, which is still important in a lot of rock, rap and pop music.
any thoughts, comments, advice?...

That seems to be exactly the same as the "Highest" setting (192kbps). If quality is most important, you should choose AAC instead of mp3. A 192kbps AAC VBR file will sound a lot better than 192kbps mp3.

  • Can no longer change bit rate in AAC custom import setting

    I want to change personal settings of AAC, but I can't. Still only the last setting, that was 192 Kbps Stereo. My iTunes version is 10.7

    Hi, Ed. I am running iTunes 9.0.3.15. When I click custom, the settings description in the details box display what they were before this thing happened = 112 kbps (mono)/224 kbps (stereo), VBR, optimized for MMX/SSE2. The pop-up dialogue box that used to appear (where you could choose the specific bit rate from the drop down menu) does not appear at all.
    However, when I choose anything other than AAC Encoder, and then pick custom, the pop-up box appears and I can choose the bit rate and adjust the other settings as usual. It's just not happening for AAC Encoder anymore. Since the total un-install (following Apple's specified order) and reinstall didn't work, I'm baffled how to fix this .... (If it makes a difference, I changed the bit rate in the custom box while a CD was being burned...Apparently that was stupid, but I had done it previously without incident.) Thanks.

    Hello all,
    I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
    "The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
    What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
    I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
    Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
    Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
    1. How to fix this?
    2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can  afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
    Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
    Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
    OSX 10.10.2
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Duncan.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • Can no longer change bit rate in AAC custom import settings

    I've been re-ripping all my CDs at the new higher bit rate. My import settings were AAC Encoder -- custom, originally set to 256 kbps, VBR, and auto for the other two settings. However, some CDs I wanted at a lower setting, so I would go change the bit rate to either 192 or 224 (just so I'd have more room on my ipod) and there wouldn't be a problem. But now it's stuck -- the pop-up box no longer opens when I choose import settings, AAC Encoder, Custom, so I can't change the bit rate or anything else, and it's stuck on 224 kbps. I can still change bit rate and other settings in the custom menus for MP3, WAV, etc., just not AAC. A repair install of iTunes did not fix the problem.

  • Auditing a Custom Import package

    We are having issues with BPC data auditing on a custom import package.  We are using the convert and dump load tasks just like in the standard import package.  The difference is that we have those surrounded by other SSIS tasks to perform other pieces of the import process.  The specific issue is that when we look at the detailed audit data, we are not seeing all of the records from our custom import.  We usually see that the import package took place, but we also usually see only a small fraction (if any) of the actual records that were posted (and which we can see in BPC) in the audit.
    My first question is, does the "Data Manager Import" option under the audit settings work with custom import packages using the convert and dump load tasks, or is it exclusive to the standard import package?  Secondly, if it does work with custom import packages, what might be some causes and/or resolutions to this issue?

    Just an update on the two issues that we are seeing...
    First, I have tested the standard Import and the Append into Fact Table packages, and both are audited correctly and completely.  This is important because our import package utilizes both of these styles of import.  One set of data is transactional, so it is loaded similar to the Append into Fact Table package.  The other set is a merge style import, so it is very similar to the standard import.  I see all records in the AuditDataFincance table in the Extra database for both of these packages.  This would lead me to believe that we are seeing some interference either between these two dump load tasks in the same package or some other SSIS package.  It is important to note that these dump load tasks are wrapped in foreach loops to pickup all files in a directory.  Looking at the package, my guess would be that either having two dump load tasks or having said tasks wrapped in a foreach loop would probably be the culprit.  My next step will be to strip the package down to test just these pieces.  Does anyone know if either of these would cause an issue with auditing?
    Secondly, I stated that we are not seeing the temp audit files in the STAGED or LOADED folders, which is making it more difficult to debug this issue.  After testing several packages, I noticed that the standard import and clear packages audit correctly, but they never create files in the STAGED or LOADED folders.  However, the Append into Fact Table package DOES create these files.  What I noticed in the AuditHdrFinance table in the Extra database was that the StagingCode values for these packages were different before they were loaded.  A value of 0 signifies that the package has already been loaded.  Append into Fact Table had a value of 1, which appears to signify that an audit file is waiting to be loaded in the STAGED directory.  The others had a value of 2, which I am guessing signifies that they are currently being staged in memory or some other location.  Does anyone have any information on what the different StagingCode values signify and why different packages have different codes?

  • Custom Import settings (MP3) not working?

    I downloaded itunes today having read the help guides that I could d/l files in MP3 format. I changed the custom import settings as per the help guide and purchased music - only to find the downloads are still in m4p format & as such are no good for my mp3 player.
    Right clicking & converting doesn't work as they are protected.
    I am hoping this is just an error on the custom set up on my part, but reading this forum I did read about protected and Plus purchases, which I did not see in the help guide before I bought the music.
    So, my question is: can the protected files be downloaded with the customized MP3 encoder settings or am I completely limited to Plus purchases?
    Thanks!

    The import setting have no effect on store downloads, all iTunes store downloads are AAC (MP4). The import settings are used to convert the songs imported from CD or to convert unprotected songs in iTunes, not for choosing a format to download song from the store.
    You can't convert standard iTunes copy protected songs, only the iTunes Plus purchases can be directly converted to another format. Where possible if you need to convert you should go for iTunes Plus tracks. The only thing you can do with standard songs apart from playing them in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone is burn them to Audio CD. You can use that CD just like any regular one. If you need songs that will play on a non Apple player you'd be better looking around for other stores that provide unprotected MP3 downloads.

  • Custom importer

    We have a custom importer plugin for premiere CS6.
    We dont save a custom file on disk, but we render the frames demanded by Premiere framework on the fly and return the data in imImportImageRec in imImportImage call.
    1) The sequence when we create a new instance goes like
    imGetPrefs8   - we show a custom entry dialog here - store the result in a global variable which is accessed in imGetInfo8.
    imGetInfo8     - with private data pointer (where we store pointer to our custom class which actually renders the data( based on the variable set in imGetPrefs8 )
    imImportImage - with private data pointer filled in imGetInfo8 - render here based on the frame number received using the private data.
    2) And when we save and load the instance we get a call to imGetInfo8  with the private data( based on which  we create a instance of our custom class to render data)
    and subsequent calls to imImportImage with the private data filled in imGetInfo8.
    3) Now the case comes when we modify the existing instance by double clicking it.
    We get a call to imGetPrefs8  but not  imGetInfo8.
    but we are not able to modify the private data as per user changes done in imGetPrefs8 , as we dont get a call to imGetInfo8.
    So the subsequent calls to imImportImage work with the old private data, hence the changes dont reflect.
    How should we go about it?
    Guide.

    in imGetPrefs8 why don't you check for privateInstance == NULL then create as needed.
    If != NULL call your modification function.
    imGetInfo89 should only populate the selector struct with info from the private data (already allocated by imGetPrefs8).
    I've never looked at the synthetic importer example but this is exactly what you're doing so that should be your starting code to hack on.

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • Search result category with a custom layout set?

    Greetings,
    I've created a nice little search IVIEW with a custom search options set that will display the document category (taxonomy) in the search result (if the resulting document is categorized, of course.)  Works great.  However there is one little problem.  The categories in the search results are hyperlinked and when you select one, you get a new window with the taxonomy rendered in the default layout set (the ConsumerExplorer I think.)  Not good.  I need this displayed in a custom layout set.
    Any ideas how to make this hyperlink use a custom layout set without changing the default?
    Regards,
    Paul Federighi

    Hi Paul,
    As per my knowledge of the basic s of layout sets and iviews.
    You want to change the layout set of the iview(window) which opens when u click the hyperlink.
    You should do this:
    1)Make a new layout set by customizing the default one.
    2)If the iview opening is a standard iview then go to its properties and change the Layout set value to ur new layout.
    Please revert in case of issues.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Sumit

  • Cannot Change Custom Import Settings For AAC's

    Last night I changed the custom import settings from 192 kbps to 160 kbps for a particular mp3 album I wanted to convert with that bitrate. I tried to change the custom settings back to 192 kbps (the bitrate most of my mp3's & wma's are in). For some reason, the window that came up many times before refuses to pop up now. I tried the custom settings for mp3's and that window still pops up. Anyway, I tried a repair and nothing happened. I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Updates, deleted there corresponding folders in C:/Program Files and then restarted the computer. I downloaded the iTunes 9 installer through the iTunes website and proceeded to reinstall iTunes. Still, the problem exists. I'm not sure what else to do? The only other thing I can think of is to do the same except install iTunes 8 instead and then search for updates and reinstall iTunes 9 that way. Would anyone know of any other method on solving my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

  • Custom command set problems

    Hi,
    I am having some problems with my custom Avid based command set.
    I have had the "A" and "S" keys assigned to "Go to prev/next edit" to simulate Avid but want to change it to "Up" and "Down" which does pretty much the same in the timeline but allows me to go to next/previous clip in the list view as well.
    The problem is that every time I try to assign the "Down" command to the "S" key the .commandset file gets corrupt and the next time I start fcpx it freezes at "Restoring the window layout".
    I can assign it if I make a completely new command set.
    Can anyone see if they can recreate this? My commandset file can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6196177/Avid.commandset
    I have a norwegian keyboard if that matters...
    Thanks!

    OK, then it has do be something specific with my command set. I've recreated my problem several times: Start fcpx, works fine, quit, take backup of preferences file. Start fcpx again, works fine, switch to custom command set, works fine, quit, restart of app fails... revert to backed up preferences file, works fine...
    What could it be in my command set then? I've tried recreating the setup I use in Avid. The thing is that it works just fine until I quit and restart the app... Really annoying!
    Thanks for your answer though!
