Quick change of Import/Convert settings

Is there any other way to change import settings more quickly other than thru preferences? [I currently dislike going 3 levels down the preferences to change to AIFF or MP3 or modify the quality of the MP3.] Has anyone made a way to customize the control panel [where the volume slider is] to add one click buttons or are there key board short cuts that quickly switch the import convert settings or is there a way to customize the menu functions?
How about a quick visual of which setting your on?
Currently I'll click Advanced and see the import/convert setting, but in MP3, it does not say at what quality. Would be useful to me to just display this on the interface.

Is there any other way to change import settings more quickly other than thru preferences? - Sorry, but no except adding those scripts:

Trouble changing the importing prefence of my itunes.

I cannot change my importing preference in iTunes. I can change to:
Import using: AAC
Setting: High Quality 128 kpbs
When i try and change the settings to Custom (192 kpbs, the iTunes prefernce window that is opens goes behind the main iTunes window and I am unable to save the new settings, I have to go to my task manager to close itunes.
I have Quicktime 7 and itunes 6.
Any one else have this problem?
Thanks
sully

same problem here except for the window stays in front.I did find out that if I shut down my antivirus and uninstall quicktime then itunes and leave my anti virus off and reinstall itunes , I am able to change the import quality settings and itunes will remember them BUT as soon as I turn on my antivirus, Itunes reverts back to the 160mbps settings and all other defaults, and if I try to change anything Itunes won't remember any changes. I am running Trend Micro PCillininternet security suite. Let us know if you find a fix because apple doesn't seem to be addressing anyones problems here.

I have just required a second hand mac and when I try to download a song or import a cd to iTunes an error notice says that I am not priveledged to make changes? The preference settings and apple I'd seem to be ok. How do I fix this?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Quick change of external HD from AEBS to firewire?

I am wondering if there is any way to quickly change the connection of my LaCie 300 gb external HD from AEBS to firewire and back. I can get it the drive to work over AEBS for streaming my music etc., but for alot of stuff it is too slow. I want to be able to connect my external HD to firewire when I am importing music and moving large files to my HD, and then quickly change to the AEBS when I want to move about the house with my laptop. Currently I have to disconnect the wires and reboot. Any ideas or programs that might help me? Thanks!
1.25 GHz Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Currently I have to
disconnect the wires and reboot. Any ideas or
programs that might help me? Thanks!
Actually the right thing to do is to "eject" the disk first, disconnect the wires and then reboot. Doing anything else is a great recipe for disk corruption.

Why does FF crashes every time I try to import IE settings?

I converted over to FireFox (FF) this morning and during set-up when it asks about importing your settings from other browsers I tried to but FF crashed saying it couldn't do it at that time. Okay, no huge problem I knew I could do it later.

What styles are lost when importing/converting PS text to editable text?

In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
In addition, after import, in the Comp panel, sometimes there are no visual differences between that display and the display in PS. But in individual style layers in the Timeline panel, things have changed. Most typically, strokes with gradients are changed either to a solid color (gray or red) or to a simple white-to-black gradient. How is it the display can show a gradient when the stroke layer shows a solid color?
When the text layers are converted to editable text, those changed style properties kick in.
I'm guessing some or all of this has to do with AE text not being able to have a gradient for the fill or stroke? That being the case, is there a work-around?
If this goes beyond not being able to use a gradient for fill or stroke, what are the "rules"? What styles are lost/changed upon import and when converting to editable text?

After Effects includes the entire Photoshop rendering engine, so any PSD and its layer styles should render fine (i.e., just like in Photoshop). If it doesn't, please submit a bug report.
But After Effects does not include the entire UI from Photoshop for creating and modifying layer styles.
The layer styles feature in After Effects exists primarily to provide fidelity between what you see in Photoshop and what you see in After Effects---not so that you can add and modify layer styles in After Effects. The UI in the Timeline panel is therefore a barebones implementation that doesn't include many of the features of layer styles in Photoshop. As you observe, there are many cases in which the representation in the Timeline panel is much more simplistic than what is in the Composition panel.
This separation between the UI and the ability to render with good fidelity is most apparent with pattern overlays. See this video for a good demonstration of how to use layer styles in After Effects by tapping into these features in Photoshop:

> In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
How, exactly, do they change? A screenshot would be useful.
If it's what I'm suspecting, then the page that Mylenium points you to has the clue:
"When a layer style is applied to a vector layer—such as a text layer, a shape layer, or a layer based on an Illustrator footage item—visual elements that apply to the edges of the contents of the layer apply to the outlines of the vector objects, such as text characters or shapes. When a layer style is applied to a layer based on a non-vector footage item, the layer style applies to the edges of the layer’s bounds or masks."
When you convert between Photoshop text and editable text, you're changing the render order and also switching between raster images and vectors. This can affect appearance in many ways.

How to change the preference color settings ?

Hi.
I use a script for converting images but I can not change the color preferences in Photoshop to set a default if the RGB images of departure does not. How to change the color settings ?
Pls help.
Thx.

This tech note:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
says that to change your outgoing server settings you
go to Settings/Mail, and then "in the Outgoing Mail
Server (SMTP) Host Name" you make your changes. There
is no such field, not even under Advanced. How do you
change the outgoing server and its settings, without
having to set up a whole new email account?
There is on MY iPhone!
BUT it is only available for POP accounts!

Frame Rate change when importing video into FCP 5

I am importing an HD h264 file into FCP 5. The video when opened in QT shows that it's frame rate is 30fps, what I exported it at. When I Import the file into FCP 5 it changes the frame rate to 29.97fps, which is causing major video/audio syncing issues. Any thoughts on how to stop the frame rate change when importing? I tried changing my system settings and audio/video settings before the import to match the file and it is still picking it up at 29.97, major headache especially since I'm cutting industrial.

yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

Importing/converting DVD to .mov file for FCP

I had a friend give me a homemade DVD that I want to import/convert into a .mov file for editing in FCP. I've read the threads on MPEG Streamclip, but it asks to select the file(s) to import (vs one file). Not sure if I'm on the right track.
Here's what I see on the DVD:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Piero... Congrats man... your explanation is the best simple explanation of getting material off a DVD into a form where it can be editied in FCP.
Just to make it clear to anyone else...
1- go to http://www.squared5.com/ and download the FREE program MPEG STREAMCLIP.
Install it in your applications folder. Start Mpeg Streamclip, and insert the DVD into your drive.
2- Go to FILE > OPEN and use that to navigate to the DVD, look in the video_ts file and select the first .vob file of a series, e.g. VTS010.VOB; you'll be asked if you want to open all files of that stream, and you answer yes. You'd better also apply the command Edit/Remove Timecode Breaks before exporting.
This takes a minute or three depending on how much material ois on the DVD.
3 - Now go to the Mpeg Streamclip command line and select **Export to QuickTime** (NOT Export to DV)
Use these settings :
Compression: Apple DV-PAL (DV-PAL for UK/Europe, or Apple DV-DVCPRO/NTSC), Quality: 100%,
fps: 25 for PAL or 29,97 for NTSC,
Audio: uncompressed, Stereo, 48 KHz.
AND hit go !
Mpeg Streamclip will promt you to name the new file name and a location for saving.
This can take a minute for every minute of material.. so is a slow process.
I decided to use the "in" and "out" markers on Mpeg Streamclip to define smaller chunks of the DVD to convert at a time... rather than risk it running for 40 minutes and crashing (which it did first time). If you're ripping the DVD for editing purposes then this should not cause any problems.
Once it's finished, go to the save location, and you should see a Quicktime movie with the name you gave it.
You can now go into FCP and IMPORT this Qtime move and edit it.
MARVELOUS
Thanks again Piero - this has really helped me

Importing Security Settings

I clicked on import security settings and out of curiosity I tried importing a blank .txt file. I received a failed message. Did I hurt or messed up Adobe Reader X's security by trying this?
What does import security settings do?

Oh dear, you shouldn't have done that...
But seriously, you could not have done any damage. It's for quickly establishing various security settings, usually form a previously exported security settings file. It is typically something and IT support person would do to easily configure the various security-related settings for a user.

Hi huihuang,
It seems there is some issue with your publishsettings file, could you open this file and copy the content here? Or please have a look at this article:

I imported an existing form but I do not want to save it to the cloud but save locally. How do I change the imported file that is saved on the Cloud to storing locally?

I have imported a PDF document and it automatically saves it to the cloud. I want the imported form to save locally? Is there a way to change an imported document from cloud to local?

Hi urs.boeschenstein,
Files are automatically saved to your online account when you use the Acrobat.com online services. However, you can most certainly download the files to your computer, by selecting them at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, and then clicking the Download icon.
Are you having additional issues with your subscription?
Best,

I had changed my Apple ID on my PC and realized iCloud. On my iphone iCloud account is on the old ID. Could not find where to change it. In Settings-iTunes & App Stores – I had replaced the old ID with the new one. On my iPad 2 – iCloud account is on old ID, I cannot change it,
do i have to delete iCloud accounts and re=build them ?

Yes, you got it. there is no way to change - just delete. Usually there is no loss, but photostream is reset, so make sure to back up your pictures before you do.
