Encoding audio files with QT for the internet

Hi group,
I would like to put my showreel up on the net in a QTime format BUT make it locked, or non-downloadable...
Is this possible?, it seems with QTpro you can download anything!
thanks
JM

You could use a "streaming server" and free Apple software that would play your file using RTSP instead of HTTP. These files are not cached (saved) on the viewing machine.
If someone wants to keep your file they'll find a way to save it. Let them download but keep them from editing your file. As easy as drag and drop using AppleScript.

  • To Generate file with whitespaces for the last fields -Receiver file FCC

    Hi Experts,
    We need to create a file at receiver side having last field of 50 length.If value of last field is less than 50 length than we need to keep whitespaces on the right side.When we create file the whitespaces get trimmed and files are created without whitespaces.I am using fixed field length FCC.Please help me resolve this issue.

    If you like to have UDF ... here it is ..
    public String appendWhiteSpaces(String var1, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
      if(var1.length()< 50){
         for(int count=0;var1.length()<50;count++){

  • Does Encoding AAC Files with VBR on Improve Audio Quality ?

    Does Encoding AAC Files with VBR on Improve Audio Quality ?
    Are there Disadvantages ?
    Bonus Question 1:
    Usually, an 'auto' type encoding tool will screw up the natural flow of the music and miss subtle changes in the energy, volume, etc.. -stuff that is just to subtle for it to catch -Generally I wouldn't trust an 'auto' type setting to pick up this subtle stuff. Yet people say using VBR improves sound quality (and NOT file size). Why and how ?
    Bonus Question 2:
    What is the max bit rate VBR uses ? If I set my AAC encoder to 320 kbps and turned VBR off, wouldn't the sound quality be superior to encoding with VBR on (simply because the kbps are set at 320 the whole time...) ? Sure, the files encoded with VBR off would be larger, but wouldn't the quality be better ?
    Bonus Question 3:
    Lastly, I did a little test and encoded one song with VBR off and one with VBR on. The VBR song was 1.5 MBs bigger - Huh, I thought, is that increased file size the result of improved resolution throughout the whole song, or just one little section (haven't had time to listen to them)?

    These are some pretty tough questions. I like VBR encoding in general, as it does allow for more complex passages to take advantage of higher bit rates while less complex passages fall back to a lower bit rate, while keeping within fairly consistent file size parameters. Whether VBR yields better results at different target/average bit rates is another matter, and really requires that you encode and properly test output files before deciding on anything but "recommended" settings.
    At maximum lossy bit rates of 320 kbps, it doesn't make sense to use VBR. If I recall, the LAME MP3 encoder presets actually preclude VBR encoding for the highest quality files, and the same may be true for iTunes AAC.
    I have to admit that to speak with any certainty or confidence about the issues surrounding your various questions, one would really need to encode a bunch of files with iTunes from lossless sources and test them in software such as foobar2000. I could investigate this easily on my own PC, but I don't encode music at 320 kbps AAC, since I have enough disk space to just listen to lossless files. iTunes doesn't display dynamic bit rate changes as foobar2000 does, and I haven't come across any Mac software that does as good a job of allowing for proper testing as foobar2000 for Windows does.
    If you really need definitive answers to these three questions, then I think your best bet would be to do as I've hinted and use iTunes and foobar2000 if you've got access to a Windows computer to do this testing and evaluation for yourself, or sign up for a user account at Hydrogenaudio and post the same message there.

  • Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

    It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
    Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
    The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
    Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
    My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
    I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
    Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
    Thanks for your time!
    -Monty

    The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
    is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
    So you must have common timecode.
    With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
    Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
    (another third party application)
    If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
    It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
    Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:

  • How to export all tracks into audio files with the same duration

    Hi everybody.
    I am trying to export all the tracks into different audio files.
    It's 10 soft. instruments and an audio track. I tried with "File>Export>All Tracks as Audio File but the result is 11 audio files with different lengths. As the song is 3 minutes and 20 seconds I would like every single track to be 3.22 sec long.
    How do I do it? In fact, each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
    Thanks!!

    The files are different lengths because each instrument does not stop playing at the same moment. It would accomplish nothing other than waste disk space if Logic appended silence to the end of each file in order to make each track the same length. The different lengths you see mean nothing because the absence of appended silence means nothing.
    each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
    Naturally. And that silence is accounted for in your exported files, when the silence appears at the beginning of the track, and when it appears during the track. It just isn't appended at the end because that would be pointless. Consider this project, consisting of four tracks:
    When I use the command File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, Logic will produce four files that look like this:
    The files are not equal in length, which is perfectly fine. What's important is that they all start at bar 1, and will align properly when imported into some other program. So all you need is the command you already used: File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files. In one step, it will produce all the files you need, and it will produce them correctly.
    By using Bounce, you would be gaining nothing except extra work, because you would have to do it separately for each file you wanted to produce. With Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, you get all your files with just one command.

    exporting tracks means that any panning or automation will not be rendered. So if you want the engineer to put up all of your tracks at unity gain (all faders at zero) and have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, use bounce, not export.
    If you want to have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, there's no need to go to the extra effort of using Bounce instead of Export. You only need to enable (in the Export dialog) the checkbox "Include Volume/Pan Automation." This is explained on p. 1022. When you do this, any panning or automation will indeed be rendered.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

    I recently upgraded my internet service with Comcast for faster internet.  When I use an ethernet connection I get 50 MB download speed....when I use the wireless connection I get 10-20 MB speed.  I have an airport extreme...3-4 years old.  Why is the speed so different and are there settings I can change to increase the wireless speed?

    If your supposed to be getting 20 Mb/s down via your ISP and both Mac's are not getting that on the SpeedTest, then obviously your router appears to be the cause.
    Connect one Mac directly to the ISP's modem, power off/wait 30 seconds/then power on, then power on the Mac. The ISP will connect directly to the Mac, then run a SpeedTest.
    Then repeat the same for the other Mac. If both Mac's have a problem then it's possibly the ISP, the modem, your lines to them or on your property, or both Mac's are messed up.
    You'll have to keep searching for the cause. Call your ISP and ask then to run a test to see if your getting your 20 Mb/s to your modem, that should clear part of the problem.

    Adding the dependency in the ViewController fixed this for me.
    I'm using two AppModules in the controller and the second one wasn't being picked up.
    I was able to fix this by:
    Go to the Project Properties, select Dependencies, edit the Dependent Projects and Archives, find the model that's failing and add a tick in the Build Output box.
    The model should now be picked up in the ViewController's DataBindings.cpx source file, though I did have to restart JDev for this to be picked up.

  • How do I properly manage audio files with iTunes?

    Hello Dear Readers,
    I am going to start using iTunes exclusively for my music collection management. Previously, I had only used iTunes for managing content for my iPhone 4. Now, I am wanting to import all of my media (music) files into iTunes for general use and playback.
    For example, I have over 3,000 music files, and I would like to know the best way to get them into iTunes. From a lynda.com training video about using iTunes, I learned that there is a folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes", which is monitored by iTunes for new files to import into the iTunes library. However, I would like to know if this is the *best* way to do this. For example, can I just*move* my 3,000 music files into this 'Automatically Add' folder and then let iTunes do its thing?
    Will iTunes *move*the files that it is able to manage OUT of this folder and into one of its managed folders, such that there would be no duplicate file left behind? Is it correct in saying that the files that are left in this folder that were not able to be handled by iTunes and must be handled differently before they can be imported into iTunes. Or is there just an all around different, and better, way to get these music files into iTunes? Thanks for your advice and opinions!
    There is also the issue of what to do with the commercial CDs I have (less than 50).  I would like to discard these and just maintain them on digital form, e.g., my 2 TB hard drive.  However, I am getting varying opinions as to how to do this.  I need 2 things:  1) to archive the CDs for retrieval later in case I need the songs that are on them, and 2) MP3 versions of the audio CD files for use on my flash drive which plays on my car audio system.  These would also be the files that I manage in iTunes.
    Some people have suggested using Exact Audio Copy to make a FLAC and a LAME MP3 copy of myCDs.  Others have suggested keeping an ISO copy of the compact discs for reference archive. Personally, I am wondering if I should just import my commercial CDs directly into iTunes, and then pay Apple $25 annually to maintain copies of these, as announced by Steve Jobs at the WWDC that this cloud functionality was forthcoming.
    I am in need of some informed, educated opinions and suggestions as to how I should proceed. 
    Then, there is also the naming convention of the files.  When the files get ripped from CD, I can add the freedb information to them for the ID3 tagging.  However, I need to know how to specify in what system that the file names are comprised. This is what I am thinking of as my folder and file name format, at this point.
    For the naming scheme of the audio files, I am proposing the following:
    For most music by 1 artist on a disc, I would do as follows:
    Folder Name: AlbumArtist - Album Title (year)
    File Names:  Track number (from 1 on up, with NO leading zeros) Track Title
    For compilations with various artists, I would use the following for the schema:
    Folder Name: VariousArtists (album artist) - Album Title (year)
    File Names:  Track number (1 on up) Track Title - Track Artist.
    Do these seem like reasonable naming schemes that would be good for using on all audio software and equipment, such as my iPhone, my car audio flash drive player, and in iTunes?
    I know that this is a lot to ask, but I am just trying to learn how to do things correctly and most efficiently so that I don't have problems down the road with my iTunes library.  I welcome input, discussion and of course, dissent!  Thanks!

    I do not know if your file can be recovered.  But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease.  If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio.  However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process.

  • Renaming audio files with increasing numbers.

    I don't know if this is a Logic or a MacOS question but since it has to do with music I post it here.
    I received three Cds with audio files. Every CD starts from track number one. I want to import all that files into logic. It confuses me when I have three audio files with the same name in my audio window. I want to rename them so I can see to which CD they belong.
    I could rename all the files manually. But is there a way to rename the files with increasing numbers all at once?
    Can I do that with the file manager or automator??
    Thanks for help,
    Eddie

    Hi
    what i do is import the files in Logic.
    In the arrange window select all the different regions (i only have done this when they're on the same track).
    Select the text tool.
    click on the first track you wanna rename - a blue box will appear.
    type the preferred name with a 1 after it.
    all the regions following that region will be renamed incrementally.
    You can also do this with a single region that you have split in logic.
    Or you can split a region in logic and to rename them as individual files i press ctrl-F and ask logic to save them as "xxxfile1" - or with out the "1" i can't remember - and it saves them all incrementally.
    Hope this helps

  • Soundtrack pro audio files with software

    Im missing sound audio files. When I follow along with the lessons in Lynda.com the teacher shows something like 5011 files for audio and I have 2500. I did it step by step as he show to reset everything and still it finds only 2500 of the audio files. Im missing the audio files that the lesson is loading up for the lesson. Anyone know why I am missing the files? Where can I get the rest of them? Im missing all the audio files that start with the lettter A under instruments and bass loop. I have 78 and the lesson shows 306 I think. Thanks in advance.

    Make sure you are indexing all of your Apple Loops folders. Do a spotlight search on Apple loops, and sort by type, to see the folders.
    My main Apple Loops folder is in Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro, but I also have others for GB (some dupes) and others I have purchased in other folders.
    Click Setup... to see your directories, then the + to add a directory, or select a directory and click Index now to re-index it.
    If all of that fails, I think all of the loop content is on the install disks, but I don't know a way to get it without completely reinstalling.
    OH, BTW, you're using the same version of STP as the Lynda.com tutorial, yes?

  • Can I speak into my mac and save it as an audio file with garage band

    Can I speak into my mac and save it as digital audio file?

    Looking at the specs, the mini does not appear to have a built-in microphone as the iMacs do. You can't just plug a microphone into the input socket, as that is line level and a microphone doesn't have enough output. Your easiest move would be to buy a USB headset such as the one Plantronics makes for use with Skype: this should work straight off.
    Sound Recorder is a simple audio recorder: I've not used it, so I don't know if it's any good, but it would at least cost you nothing to try it.
    Amadeus II and Amadeus Pro are reasonably priced and are fully featured sound recorders and editors which can save in a number of formats.
