Changing the art work of a podcast

Hi I'm using iweb to post some educational podcasts.
www.podcastschool.net
Problem is the artwork that iweb uses for each podcast is a cropped image of the first frame of my video podcast. Can anyone help me reassign my own art work?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jonnie!
The default behavior of that placeholder box is to take whatever is there and create a square crop of it for the preview image on the main podcast page. And in the case of a podcast, the only way to change that image and preserve the link to the podcast in the ITMS is to make the image part of the media file itself. This is fairly straightforward for a straight audio podcast, but with a video podcast you have to insert the image into the existing video track.
I'm not very familiar with doing this. One method would be to simply cut and paste the image that you want into the first frame of the video podcast. I think there are other methods like assigning a poster frame to a quicktime movie. I'm not sure how these methods affect the ability of the podcast to be downloaded from the ITMS.

    How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

    Go to google and search for the artwork.  When you find it, save it to your computer.  Right click the album and select get info.  Drag the image you saved to the empty box for album art.

  • Where has the art work arrow gone?

    I have recently noticed that the art work column arrows have gone. I can no longer change to list only and visa versa. I know I can use "View" at the top and change artwork to show or not but this is tedious! The arrows were quick and easy. Can anyone confirm that iTunes 9.2 update has removed these arrows.

    I have back, front and CD covers for the majority of my iTunes playlists. WHY WHY WHY Apple has somebody decide to get rid of the arrow in the iTunes artwork window to change the artwork? WHY WHY WHY has somebody also decided that you can no longer highlight all the album tracks and drag multiple pieces of artwork onto the artwork window?
    Like several aspects of Lion these are backward steps.Please show some respect to the massive amount of work that many of us have done on iTunes and leave things alone!
    Dave Jeffs - not sure what you mean about ctrl/click - that does nothing for me - am I missing something? It also doesn't rectify the problem of adding new multiple pieces of artwork to an album.

  • Art work for my podcast didn't upload to iTMS

    I used GB and iWeb's podcast template to produce and post my first podcast. Everything went okay, except that the artwork did not load. Instead of the art work that I designed, a portion of the background for my iWeb podcast page shows up as the artwork.
    Here's copy of the URL on iTMS for my podcast: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=135304131&s=143 441
    Could someone explain to how I can fix this.

    I too have the exact same problem. It appears to be an error in the RSS feed generated by iWeb.
    I found a link in the XML file for the "background" artwork from the iWeb template I chose to use. I replaced that line of code with location of the artwork I want to appear on iTunes Music Store.
    http://www.o-meon.com/podcasts/9A1D5F59-DC7B-489C-8589-7116381D8872/18DE82DE-97C 2-47A0-95DD-A8E84BE8F033/rss.xml
    Alas to no avail. Despite repeatedly pinging the Music Store it persists in using the background graphic even though the RSS feed no longer contains a link to that file.
    All attempts to contact Apple about this have gone unanswered.
    HELP.

  • What is happening to all the movie artwork since I downloaded iTunes 11?  All the art work is missing.  They down even show up on my apple TV anymore.  This is frustrating !!!!!

    What is happening to all the movie artwork since I downloaded iTunes 11?  All the art work is missing.  They down even show up on my apple TV anymore.  This is frustrating !!!!!

    Well, all my PAID, bought on iTunes movie poster art is now missing as well in iTunes 11.1.2. My largeish personal movie collection, wherein I hunted down the poster art and manually added it... all still work. Further, I note, in moving one of my processed films between Macs, the cover art is embedded in the H.264 movie file itself. It cannot go away. As a test of this, I transferred one of my files to a PC notebook of a friend, and even iTunes on the PC sees the cover art fine.
    This tells us, code wise, movies from the iTunes Store do not have embedded, rather linked poster art assets, and thus, the link within iTunes between movie and poster art has been severed in this release.  This is why an incremental update to iTunes can magically restore all the missing cover art.
    A note to Apple Programmers Imagine were I Steve Jobs telling you this. (Oh, I am THAT guy who caused a rewrite of the Apple Store. Remember THAT?) Here is the permanent fix to cover art issues: In a hidden, locked (after edit) Unix file stored safely somewhere, you just have iTunes use an OUTBOARD FILE which simply contains the link data for the art. THEN, when ANY new version of iTunes comes along, it just reads that little file, and NO USER is ever left without art. The file is opened and modified as needed, and just locked up after each change.
    Further, the poster art is not searchable by name on your computer if you wanted to do a manual add to permanently fix the problem.
    From experience, I can tell you manually adding movie poster art, which iTunes then embeds, is painfully slow even on a fast machine. That is because a huge file must be rewritten. This is why Apple may have reticence - keeping user experience positive.
    Further, Apple may be using a direct screen dump technology for the poster art, which puts a graphic onscreen without using further memory. Large collections could tank a lesser machine if this was not used.
    Well, at least my movies look good in Apple TV.

  • How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

  • Is it possible to change the URL of an iTunes Podcast page itself (NOT the Feed URL)?

    My company has an usual question:
    While keeping all the individual podcasts the same, and the subject matter of the whole podcast series the same, my company would like to change the URL that Apple iTunes has assigned us.  Is this possible, and how can it be done?
    Again, I am talking about the URL that Apple iTunes has assigned us.  The one that begins:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/career-...
    We are having a small change in marketing emphasis.  So my company wants to change one of the dashed English words in the URL, after:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/
    These English words were based on the original title of our podcast.  The original title of our podcast has changed slightly, with no problem.  Now my company just wants to change the URL assigned to us by Apple.
    Let me emphasize: There is no purpose of misdirection, evasion, or deceit here -- not in the slightest.  My company is simply taking a different marketing angle.  Our category is staying the same.  The podcasts themselves are staying the same.  My company would just like to update the URL assigned to us by Apple to reflect our new podcast series name.
    ALSO:
    We are a category-leading, very popular podcast.  If we do change our iTunes podcast URL, we do not at all want to jeopardize our leading status in our podcast subject category.  We want all our download stats to move with us over to the new URL.  This is extremely important to us.
    AND FURTHER:
    If we do change our iTunes podcast URL, we want all our listeners to automatically find us at the new URL.  We don't want any of them to lose their subscription because we changed our URL.
    So in summary:
    1. CAN we change our podcast URL (the one assigned to us by iTunes)?
    2. Can we change the URL, but still keep our category-leading position and stats, exaclty as they are now?  That is, will our old download stats move with us to the new URL, so we can retain our category-leading position?
    3. Will podcast listeners going to the old URL automatically be forwarded to the new URL?  Might any of our current listeners become unsubscribed as a result of the URL change?
    I know this is an unusual, complicated, and multi-part question.  I am looking for definitive, authoritative answers to all these questions.
    Thank you very much for your help!!
    David

    You can omit the title altogether in the URL (together with the succeeding slash, of course). For example, my own podcast URL in the Store is
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sound-of-78s/id166389425?mt=2
    but this works perfectly well:
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id166389425
    Indeed you can even put your own title:
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/any_old_title/id166389425
    So it's as simple as that!

  • Changing the destination feed for a podcast

    Hey guys.
    Hoping for some help.
    I work for am Australian radio station and we're changing the name/presenters of our breakfast program.
    This will affect our daily podcast XML which has a lot of subscirbers.
    In addition to the name and artwork, we'll also be changing the feed destination itself, where the episodes are hosted. e.g.
    http://www.generic.com/oldshow/rss/podcast.xml
    Is now being hosted at
    http://www.generic.com/newshow/rss/podcast.xml
    Is this something I just change in teh XML? Or will it mean creating a whole new podcast on iTunes and submitting it.
    Thanks.

    In order to move the Store you need to add a special tag to the original feed an leave it there for a couple of weeks. This will move subscribers to using the new feed and they won't even notice. The method is described here:

  • How I change the artwork logo for my podcast please ?

    hello..
    I wish if you could help me changing the podcast name & logo please??
    I have created the podcast from wordpress.com ..
    my link is
    http://ziado83.wordpress.com/
    go to the itunes and make search for ziado83
    i want to change the logo and the name please
    thanks alot
    Ziad

    Your feed is at http://ziado83.wordpress.com/feed/
    The image which appears in the Store page is referenced in feeds in the 'itunes:image' tag. However I doubt you have access to edit the feed directly, and even if you could WordPress would presumably overwrite it the next time you added an episode.
    In any case WordPress is not creating a proper podcast feed: it's missing the 'itunes:...' tags and the 'iTunes Declaration' in the second line which is necessary for iTunes to be able to read them. In this event whatever you do won't enable an image to appear in the Store: there are sufficient tags for the feed to work in iTunes, but not to show the subtitles, summaries or the image.
    I understand that there is a plug-in for WordPress called PodPress which will enable you to create a proper podcast feed and you may care to investigate that: I'm afraid it's not something I can advise on.

  • How can I change the background color of my podcast's iTunes page?

    My RSS feed just got accepted but now I need to customize the title, author, background color, and logo of my site. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you!

    You can't change the background colour - it's white for audio and black for video. The other data can be changed by changing the appropriate tag in the feed, or if you're using a program or online service to make your podcast,. wherever they provide for entering this information.
    The title is carried in the 'title' tag; the author in the 'itunes:author' tag, and the 'podcast image' which appears on the Store page in the 'itunes: image' tag. Republish the feed after making the amendments: it will take a couple of days for the new data to appear, though the image may take several days.
    The image which appears in some podcasts in the bottom left-hand corner of iTunes when subscribing is not referenced in the feed but has to be actually embedded into the media file: please see this page:

  • How do I change the default work and home addresses?

    I am using iCal 8.0 with Yosemite 10.10.1. I moved a month ago and cannot figure out how to change the default "home" address in the program. The same is true on my iPhone. I updated my address in Contacts to no avail. I am having the same problem on my iPhone. It also struggles with my work address: I work at number 80 on my street, in suite 7C, and iCal interprets the data as 7C (Street), showing me on the map several blocks below my actual office.
    Any help with these problems would be most appreciated.

  • CS3 Illustrator is what I am using.  I cannot seem to select just the artwork to export to JPG or PNG.  When I do, it exports the entire work space.  I just want the art work saved to a jpg.  What are the instruction sets to convert only the art work obje

    Can someone tell me how to export my art work object to a PNG or JPG?  I am getting the whole work space saved when I export.    I want to export a label to another print program and the entire workspace is in the JPG including not just the art I want, but anything else that is on the work space.       How can I isolate just the object I want to export and convert it?Newsgroup_User

    Randy,
    You may create a rectangle the size of the artwork and Object>Crop Area>Make, then Save for Web.
    Or you may use the Crop Area Tool, see the documentation or here,

  • How to change the main work center and  work center of each operation when generating work order by maintenance plan

    Dear experts,
    I face a problem that system get main work center from equipment master data as a default main work center in maintenance plan when creating maintenance plan. however, if main work center in equipment is changed later, the change will not synchronize to related maintenance plan. if work order is generated from maintenance plan, main work order in order is defaulted from maintenance plan instead of updated work center in equipment.
    another problem is that, for those orders generated by maintenance plan, the work centers in  operations is defaulted from task list in maintenance plan. in most case, work center in task list is dummy. Actually the work is done by work center in equipment master data.
    My expectation is how to auto replace the main work center and work center of operations in work order with the one in equipment master data if order is generated by maintenance plan? is there any standard configuration or enhancement/BADi that can help with this requirement?
    thanks！
    Wesley

    Wesley,
    Sorry - development is the only way.
    Another option is to create a batch program that runs before your IP30 run(s) and updates any maintenance items and task lists with the correct work centres.
