What is the best format to select then copy music from a cd to itunes

I copy my cd collection into iTunes. What is the best format that should be selected for the best quality of music? Thank you.

"Better format" and "Better music" (sound quality) are not the same question, for audio encoding.  The best sound comes from a "Lossless" format  The encoding using the Apple Lossless Encoder encoder in iTunes provides without loss of sound quality, compared to the songs on CD (which are in AIFF format).  You can also use the AIFF encoder, but the files of the song will be a little bit bigger compared to Apple Lossless.  However, TWO Apple Lossless AIFF formats and create larger files of the song, so they take more space on your computer drive (several times over).

iTunes Store sells songs in format AAC , compression ratio 256 kbps.  This format may provide the best combination of efficiency (small size) and the sound quality.  There is a minor loss in sound quality due to compression, but I can't tell the difference between lossless and AAC at 256 Kbps, format with my headphones and speakers (and ears).  To use this format when you import your CD, select the AAC Encoder value encoder iTunes more.

NOTE: Import encoding settings run the button import the settings of iTunes preferences General pane.

    So, imagine that you have a sequence like this:

    And you want to accomplish the following selection:

    Selected.png

    What is the best way to do that has no shift + selection 12 times? I had FCP where I could click the top left and then shift + click on the lower right and get a selection of range in this way. But obviously it works differently in first. If I wanted to include A5 - 7 in the selection, I could do just a selection rectangle, but someone at - it a convenient way to select several clips landlocked like that?

    The fastest way I can think to do is to temporarily make the slightly shorter left selected top clip so that it has an ATM next to him, then use your mouse to drag and drop around all clips. You must again extend the left top clip again after the fact. Alternatively, you could catch the entire section, then shift select the ones that you don't need. In addition, shift-make drag a marquee selection that includes selected clips deselects them.

  • What is the best format and the size of a logo in a flash project?

    I have this flash project in which I animate a logo from big to small, the logo in the great State looks pretty good, but when flash reduced the logo image animation tend to Pixelize (I don't know if this term is correct).

    Thank you

    This is what happens when you change the size of an image.

    The best format for a logo is the vector.  Then, you can change its size, rotation, etc. without distortion or pixelation.

    If you can not go with a vector graphic, try to use several images of different sizes, and switch between them if necessary to recreate the interpolation, or, try a PNG and hope that pixelation is not too bad.

  • What is the best way to import and export images from the 5 d Mark II?

    Hello

    I have just finished what I plan my first masterpiece of shooting film.  Shot on the Canon 5 d (1080 p, 24 fps), and the film looks amazing.  Now, I'm ready to start editing and now use creating lately, but I still have to figure out the proper conduct.  I want to know the best way to keep the resolution before I dive into this project.

    My questions:

    (1) what is the best way to start a new project and import the images without having to make while editing, in order to keep all the resolution and the originality of the source footage?

    (2) what is the best way / codec / format to export these images even once done editing to maintain than crisp 1080 p for which the 5 d is therefore counted?

    (3) what is the best way / codec / format for import and export / rendering between the first and after effects?  I speak especially of Visual effects and color correction.  I also a few sequences of 30 images per second that I intend to slow down in AE and then import into first.

    I know that it's wide enough, but as a solo Director I really need advice from someone.  Rarely, I finished my films with the same look crispy as images.  I need help of pipeline and really appreciate it!

  • What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

    Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

    So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

    I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

    So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

    I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

    Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

    The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

    Thank you

    The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

    If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

    I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.

    You have no real choice on this: If you want to place a vector format on a page, you must use SVG. HAVE or PDF are not supportet.

    If you want to Open a vector file, you can link a PDF file that opens in a new window using browser/operating system features. In this case, you use the command ' File/Upload to FTP host' and link this file to a button or other object of your choice using the "Hyperlink" command in the upper command band.

  • What is the best format of proxy to use when you work with S - Log in a linear colourspace?

    I worked with a few images from Sony F55 shot against a green screen. I work in a 16 bit s - rbg colourspace

    I did out of the source proxies that were photo-jpeg SBDAs, nice fast n.

    However, it is fixed the color values in the proxy with what looks like an s-curve that did eventually my overlay significantly different parameters (IE much more contrasted) when switching between the proxy and original.

    So, what would be the best way to go on the conversion of some sequences of newspapers-s to a fast proxy format without messing with settings main effects by such an amount of annoying. I can live with a small difference of course.

    Thanks in advance.

    Since you are seized, I work with the original film, not proxies and just deal with the problems of time.

    You will not get a precise key with a proxy... which is what you need.  Or you COULD work quickly and with no more worries with a proxy and get an incorrect key, but I doubt that is your goal.
