Permute Preferences

Preferences Permute contains a few preferences that allows you to customize the workflow. They are split into several categories.

General

Here, you can set settings about the CPU usage, file destination, etc.

Note: Options to put computer to sleep when done and to save converted files in the same directory as the original are only available in non-AppStore versions of Permute. See chapter about the difference between AppStore and non-AppStore builds.

Presets

Permute comes with dozens of different presets that simply work out of the box. If you are a more advanced user, you may want to tweak a thing or two here, or even create your own custom preset. You can also disable presets that you don't use.

Both video and audio qualities offer several quality settings. The higher the setting, the larger the resulting file and the less possible artefacts can appear in the result. Please test this out with Medium first which is optimal for an average user. Settings above this setting may produce unnecessarily large files and the conversion takes longer to finish.

Permute also includes several presets that are considered advanced and should only be used if you know what you're doing:

Notes:

iTunes

Permute can automatically add the resulting file to iTunes. These options can be set up here.
