Import Mono vs Import Stero and Pan 0? (Lav Mic)

I'm importing footage from a lavaliere microphone and I want to get the best sound quality possible. I did not record separate audio using my camcorder's built-in mic.
In the Log and Capture settings, Clip Settings tab, I have two import options:
1. Click mono, and select channel one only (where lav. mic audio is recorded)
2. Click stereo, and then after import, pan the audio to zero in the Viewer-> Stereo (a1,a2) tab.
What are the disadvantages of choosing option 2 over option 1?

You can record two channels using scenario 1 or 2 and there's not a real difference in the file.
BUT
The difference is that in scenarios 1 FCP will assume that the two channels are recordings from different sources. You can trim each channel seperately. And both channels are both center panned.
Scenario 2 will asume that there is one source of a stereo recorded signal. And thus the first channel will be panned to the left and the second channel will be paned to the right. And trimming will apply to both channels at the same time, because normally you want to do that to both channels at the same time.
The stereo capturing does not mean that mono recorded sources (like your Lav mic) will be miraculous be converted in a sterao-spectrum-recording.
To go short: Use scenario one. Choose only one channel (unless the camera mic is on channel 2, then choose scenario 1 with 2 channels).
There's no reason to choose scenario 2 and then do even more work by panning the channels back to 0.

  • I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

    I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

    The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
    iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
    Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
    If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
    First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
      1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
      3. Click the "First Aid" tab
      4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
      5. Close the Preferences window
      6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
      7. Enter your username and password
      8. Click the "Repair" button
    The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
      1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
      2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
      3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
      4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
      5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
      6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
          "New Keychain"
      7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
          going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
    Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
    First, you want to enable the root user:
      1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
      3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
      4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
    After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
    Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
    Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
    Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
    Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
    The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

  • Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

    I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
    I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
    Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

    I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
    The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.

  • Import Previews and Collections Only

    GOAL: to export the Previews and Collections info ONLY on an old Lightroom catalog/computer and apply that info to same photos on a new Lightroom catalog/computer.
    I'm moving my Lightroom Catalog from one computer that utilized multiple external drives to a new computer where everything will be on a single internal drive.
    I copied over all of the photos to the new computer and did some re-organizing to group everything better.
    I left the file structure within each Lightroom folder intact (eg., if I had sub-dvided photos into ten folders on the old Lightroom computer, those ten folders are the same, but I have put all ten into a new folder to enclose them all).
    Ideally, I'd like to just bring in the previews and collection info and apply it to the photos on the new Lightroom computer. Since there are over 20,000 photos, I'd like to avoid having to export as a catalog with all of those originals. Is there a way to export ONLY the previews and collections info and then import that to the new Lightroom computer?
    Thanks!

  • Restricting access for import manager and syndicator

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know whether is there any way on how we can restrict the access to import manger and syndicator.
    I have one scenario whether user needs to be given the access to data manager only but not to other components.It is ok if they are able to open but should not be able to import or syndicate.
    Please help in this
    Thanks
    Nitin

    Hi Nitin,
    No i get your point Nitin,I said if a unwanted user logs into Import manager he can try to add/modify/replace record,this can be stopped if he is not given the rights.For this go to Console,Admin table and goto Roles and set rights and privileges on that.
    whenever a user logs into Import Manager he has to give his user id and password,and from there we can control this.
    If he tries to import records,it will fail.also if he tries to modify map,it wil fail too.
    To get a clearer picture try doing it for one user and run this scenario.
    An excerpt froim reference guide:
    "The groups and functions displayed in the Name column are listed in Table 89; access privileges for each function are directly editable in the Functions pane"

  • Difference between importing files and adding files/folders to liabrary?

    When I want to bring in new music into my liabrary from my my music folder, I don't know the difference between importing them and adding a file. They both seem to bring up the my music folder and seem to give me the same options?

    To quote from the following link:
    "When you add something to the library, essentially you are taking existing audio or movie files and adding an entry for each to your iTunes Library index. iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."
    "The Import menu item allows you to import playlists and other data files into iTunes."

    Hi Vijay,
    ED-standard schema for describing the message structure.If you have the structure provided to you from some external application you can use it in PI directly without recreating in PI.you can import following formats which are used to describe message schema
    WSDL (Web Service Description Language),
    XSD (XML Schema Definition Language),
    DTDs (Document Type Definitions)
    Imported Archives: its used basically for java and xslt mapping where you create the required mapping externally using some tools
    (java-eclipse/NWDS .XSLT-stylus studio).You can also implement XSLT and Java mappingsf and save them as archives in the Integration Repository.

    Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
    How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
    Linda

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
    Click to view full size
    look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away.  If there is no message  check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

  • Lightroom 1.1 Import Stall and Poor Performance: a solution?

    My lightroom is extremely slow (unusable) when trying to import approx. 1000 JPGs into a brand new, fresh catalog. I've got a Intel Mac 2.33Gz MBP w/2G RAM running 10.4.10 and lots of free disk space.
    A workaround?: As soon as I select "Quick Collection" during the import (since I currently have no images in "Quick Collection", no images are displayed during importing), the import process immediately started progressing at reasonable and acceptable speeds. So this import performance and stall seems to be related to lightroom trying to display photos or metadata info on image sets that are in the process of being imported.

    Jerry,
    What you suggest really is not an effective solution. Go to File>Catalog Settings>Metadata and uncheck 'Automatically write changes into XMP'. That should speed it up considerably. If you have already done that and are still having the problem, do a search for other solutions.

  • HT1766 how do i get the pc to open up the file dialog when i plug in my iphone?  It asked me what to do, and I said to import files and pictures, and now it goes directly to pictures.

    I have a laptop with touch screen and windows 8.  I plugged in my iphone because i wanted to sync my music to itunes.  A box came up and asked what I wanted to do when the phone was detected.  I had 3 choices and do nothing.  I chose import files and pictures.  and now, when i plug it in, it goes right to pictures.  How can i change it so the little file box opens and gives me the option to "import files and pictures?"

    You should install iTunes for Windows and sync your iPhone with it.

    I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes  The app continually crashes during the picture import.  AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos.  The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes.  I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone.  I have 10Gb free.  I have 6600 photoes.  This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products.  My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also.  It does the exact same thing to it.  The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process.  But it will import every photo a few at a time.  The error message is just that itunes has stopped working.  no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time.  You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is.  I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities.  Ultimately they were of no use.  I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

    I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
    it said this

    basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
    It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

  • After Importing Tasks and Memos | Let's Move them from Remember to Calendar? More Extra Steps

    After grabbing all your Tasks and Memos from BB OS 7.1, all the entries go unfiled into the Remember App. This is nice, but not nice. Anyone writing code to export these to the Calendar App or within Remember to 'move' them to the Calendar App? Does this make any sense to be left to redo these tasks and memos that invariably and potentially become Calendar worthy in terms of absolute reminders in advance of the due date?
    It would seem logical, that say, for example, that if your old memos become potential Tasks, both the tasks and memos in Remember are somewhat treated the same. So now to export them possibly into the Calendar app? What am I missing here? 
    What would be the work around here temporarily until code is written to take all of your imported tasks and memos from, say, OS 7.1, now inside the Remember App, and send them OPTIONALLY to the Calendar? Nothing I can see at the moment...
    Sometimes Memos turn into Tasks, which then could lead to Due Dates/Appointments/Do-To's in the Calendar App IF so chosen. But there isn't a strong blood relationship between Remember and Calendar. If there is, someone advise.
    Relationship: Remember<>Calendar (In other words, strengthening the gap between Remember and Calendar.
    When you've a SLEW of old Tasks and Memos coming from the previous OS's...wow...
    In my Old Bold 9930 I had over a thousand valid memos, and over 2,300 regular tasks, segmented. Now joyously and unfortunately in the Remember App, WHAT A "TASK" TO FILE THEM WITHOUT ANY EXPORT to the Calendar or for the new Calendar to receive them with open arms and bifurcate them accordingly. (Splitting the main into two parts yet having the bond between the apps as close as possible)...
    Sad that the old Tasks in BB OS 7.1 now imported into the Remember App has to be copied and pasted into the Calendar App for the Reminder and Re-occurrences, etc. Am I missing something? What a daunting task for power copy/paste people on a full qwerty to a touch keyboard.
    Fervently experimenting with QNX Developers on this one. Need a cognitive, logical thought structure here to make this alleged "smooth" transition from one baton to the next baton (OS 7.1 to BB 10 in this area). Dropping the baton won't win the race against the competition here...

    Well, what I've done is just the opposite as far as Calendar to Remember as the Calendar has the "Share" function base. With an extra step or two and of a 'cleaning house' from the import  from the old OS7.1, I've brought all my tasks and memos into the calendar and brought them back into their respective folder(s) inside of Remember.
    You see, because the Remember app is so vast or initially treated as vast, if one is fast enought to power copy/paste while cleaning house, take all your memos, tasks, etc into the Calendar and sync Remember with the Calendar manually via the due date/time function in Calendar, then you've a precusor reminder due date in Remember, which then leads to your day's events in Calendar.
    For me I've not doubled up on the amount of tasks and memos, but provided myself as a power BB user the ability to work around and strengthen the relationship between the two apps. If the due date is accurate on the Remember app (if chosen), you do get reminded that particular day, and on that particular day you can then revew the day's notes/memos from within the Calendar app, clean the task/memo house as you move along, and sit back until the code is written just for the reversal of what protocol I've taken here. Either way, you avoid third party apps, your passion for BlackBerry remains, and your productivity is elevated with BlackBerry 10.
    A lot of people don't realize how powerful QNX is as I am working with QNX developers now with feedback within the ebb & flow of the code. Give less than three years through BlackBerry Evangelism, Philanthropic aspirations and more, and BlackBerry will take back a strong segmented market space and enhance the quality of lives for those who are loyal and believe in BlackBerry as a lifestyle. All BlackBerry, all of the time.
