What are the BEST sounding 3d-party pitch-shift programs for under 1g

this week i just finished doing a lot of voice-over work for an independant cartoon. the files came out beautifully, and i thought i was done, but the client decided they wanted me to do post as well. being on the spot, i feverishly tried every option. of course we all know, any of the logic options sound like crap. as they did. so i also tried sending the files to final cut pro and soundtrack pro. no dice. also, what i needed was much too ambitious for autotune as well. i am having to do extreme shifting here, due to it being for cartoons. i am not really familiar with what is out there. i've seen there is 'pitch-n-time', 'melodyne'(which by the web site looks quite impressive), and i've seen a couple others. i would prefer not to have to mess with any tdm stuff though.
if anyone has any personal experience with any Great sounding pitch software, please share.
thanks

Melodyne CRE8 is fantastic. I can't say enough about how powerful and intuitive this software is, and so easy to use. Just be sure you check the latest version(3) as any previous version is extremely confusing to operate effectively.

    "Best" is quite subjective. As William points out, TextEdit may be the "best" in someones eyes as it isn't cludged up with crap you don't need.
    What are your requirements?
    Basic text editing?
    Do you need:

  • What are the best anti keylogger and anti-RAT softwares for Mac?

    Here's an article from March that lists the top anti-keylogger software. http://www.macping.com/top-10-software-that-can-effectively-block-mac-keylogger- programs-on-your-computer/#comments
    But it wasn't very helpful when it came to choosing one. Has anyone done extensive tests on these to see which ones are most effective?
    And what if your computer has been compromised in other ways? 
    What's the best software out there for giving you piece of mind without having to wipe the entire computer? 

    If you have reason to suspect that someone has installed a keylogger on your system, erasing it and reinstalling everything from scratch is going to be the only way you can be certain that the keylogger is removed. Any anti-malware software could miss something, regardless of the developer's claims.
    As to prevention, the best approach is to just make sure that no one has physical access to your computer without your supervision and to keep the system secure from remote access by turning off unneeded services and using strong administrator passwords. Physical access, remote access or trickery are the only ways someone can install a keylogger onto your system.

  • What are the best video effects or presets to use for HD video?

    I use Premiere Pro often, usually to direct music videos of different genres. I used CS6 for a while, until just now upgrading to Creative Cloud.
    Anyway, I just want people's suggestions on what effects, presets, or anything to use to make video look good!
    The video I use it 1080p HD, but I know there's ways to make it look even better than it already does, please give me any suggestions you have! thank you!

    No rules or limits to what one would use to make something "look good".
    Different FX and treatments  in different hands on different material...too many too list.
    Start with great images, great performance and direction...and Color Correction.
    Craft the film as to how you saw it before you shot it.
    Dont use others presets.

  • What are the best third party compression utilities

    What are the best (and hopefully free) third party compression utilities that are compatible with FCP7 that I can use to export and compress Quicktime reference movies, instead of using Compressor. My files are always very large and I am looking for an application I can use to customize the size of the final file according to my needs. I would like to do this while skipping the need to go through compressor first as this usually take so many hours to finish.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the response. I didn't know MPEG STREAMCLIP can accept Ref QT files. I have that so I will try to use it in my workflow and see the results.

    Hi,
    We have seen that. Thanks.
    Now, how could we add multiple tiems to ATG's shopping cart before redirecting the user to ATG's home?
    The scenario we see is:
    User navigates on a Marketing website, spots items he/she is interested in and add them to the LOCAL shopping cart (without leaving the current website), after adding many items he/she decides to buy these items buy clicking FINISH, at this moment we add the N items to ATG shopping cart (how??) and redirect the user to ATG's home.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks

  • What are the best settings to make a DVD?

    Hi!!!
    I want to make a DVD. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My video uses a image (i havent chosen the width x height yet because i do not know what is the best for picture quality on DVD, any advice?). I also use text which is made by clicking on Add Titles in Premiere Pro. Also i have a mp3 which plays throughout. (There is actually no moving video, just an image still, and the text I add which changes every few seconds)
    My question is: For optimal picture and sound quality on DVD, what are the best settings to begin the project with? (i.e. PAL? HD?, etc). Second question is: For optimal picture and sound quality on DVD, what settings should i have when exporting? (i.e. Format: MPEG2? MPEG2-DVD? H.264? ect,   Preset: 1440 x 1080i? PAL DV High Quality? etc)
    Note: after exporting the file, i will send the master to a DVD duplicating company who will put the file onto DVD for me.
    Many, many thanks!

    To give you just a bit more background, for DVD-Video (well, if it's burned, it's officially DVD-ROM, but you get the picture), the Transcoding will be done to MPEG-2. For the best Audio, I would stick with PCM/WAV, which will be slightly larger, but with better fidelity. Note that with BD, you have some other choices, but fewer for DVD-Video. Also, even though MPEG Audio was optional in PAL-land, it is falling out of favor. The two choices are DD AC3 (a flavor of MPEG), and PCM/WAV, which will give you the best Audio.
    With Adobe Dynamic Link, you do not need to be too concerned with the Transcoding yet. In Encore, you can choose the parameters for the Transcoding, or leave it set to Automatic and Encore will calculate the space on the disc, and come up with a very good Transcode setting. If you decide that you want to do those settings yourself, please spend some time on the Internet reading about "bit-budgeting." There are also 3rd party Transcoders, that some feel are superior to those used in the Adobe products. There are several recommendations in this forum. Again, you will want to study bit-budgeting first.
    Good luck,

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:

  • What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?

    I have researched and found out that the AAC format rules over the MP3 format as fas as sound quality goes with lossy formats. Example: AAC at 128 is better than MP3 at 160 as so forth. My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format? Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format? Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format? Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format? Please help!

    My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?
    It is a matter of opinion, but I suggest 256 kb/s, CBR, and leave all other settings on automatic.
    Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format?
    Yes. Just put them in a playlist and burn.
    Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format?
    Yes. You will see it as an option in the Import Settings.
    Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format?
    EAC does a better job of correcting errors in damaged CDs, but for normal CDs iTunes does a fine job of ripping to AAC.

  • What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
    iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
    iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

  • What are the best practices for generating an EPS logo from InDesign?

    Our costomer is running into technical issues with the logo we sent them, which was exported from Indesign. Images were not embedded and fonts missing. I was able to embed the images and fonts. However, we DO NOT want them to be able to make any text changes. So after exporting an eps, I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and made all the text outlines. I hope this works. But I just wanted to post the question on what are the best practices for doing this?
    The client needs the logo with transparent background, images emebdded and type in outlines. Also, they need some space around the text. When I exported the eps, the file is right up on the edge of the type.

    It sounds like you are pretty far from "best practice" with regard to logo design and delivery.
    These days, the very use of the EPS format should be considered bad practice, and some other terms in your post, (i.e., 'images,' 'missing fonts'), make it sound like there is not a seasoned logo designer involved.
    That said, you probably already got the advice you need to get out of the immediate jam. However, without proper logo design, you and the client will soon be facing other problems. You should be delivering a 100% vector graphic in single-color (black) and corporate-color(s) versions, with no live font data, that has been test-scaled to very small and very large sizes; ensuring it will work at postage-stamp size and on the side of a truck or building, with specific spot color(s) and proportions that will enable it to be offset printed, embroidered and screen-printed on apparel, and cut into signage materials and decals.

  • How do i transfer DVD files to my Ipod?  What are the best programs to use?

    I have an annoying time trying to get DVDs onto the Ipod. I can't help but think why Apple didn't make it easier to do this. Does anyone know how to get DVDS into the Ipod and what are the best conversion programs?

    The iTunes/iPod ecology is designed to make it hard to use the iPod for casual copyright theft, but extracting your data is eminently feasible.
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer. Data in your apps is potentially at risk but you can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but I've never needed to test the method so I can't say for sure.
