Creating tutorial podcasts

Sorry if this is asked alot here but...
From start to finish on Windows, how do I create a video podcast? The plan is for tutorial videos (like photoshop type) but I don't know what programs they use for capturing thier material as they do the steps in the software. What is decent windows (and mac) software that does this? Looking for cheap of free ATM and if things workout then I can look for more advanced software I guess...
Will that software capture audio during or is that recorded after?
Thanks!

For our production - we use ULead's MediaStudio Pro 8 for the video editing - then we use QuickTime Pro to export to native iPod m4v format.
As for hosting, we used to do the whole thing ourselves...but we eventually went to a podcast hosting company. They take care of the creation of the feed, the maintenance of the podcast, the iTunes/Yahoo listings, and bandwidth, for us.
We went to a few different hosts - but the one we finally settled upon was http://www.avmypodcast.com. They always had someone available to help us, and provided the best experience for us.
Hope that helps.

  • How to create Video Podcasts?

    I Have heard that Garage band can create video podcast. Is there some tutorial on how to create them?

  • Looking for Chapter Tool Beta or other app to create enhanced podcasts

    Hi all. I am looking at creating enhanced podcasts. On Google I found a mysterious app that Apple has apperantly created - "Chapter Tool Beta". However, all links to this app are dead. Any idea what happened to that app?
    Also, what are some alternatives? Garage Band doesn't work well, as in this project I am working on, we have to show a screen shot, then in the next "frame" same screen shot, but with a highlight box over an area. And, it's hard to line up images in GB. Any ideas? Thanks,

    I think the Chapter Tool is now dead - though someone did ask about this a few weeks back: it might be worth searching for the thread to see whether anyone could help.
    I would suggest you look at Podcast Maker: this will take your pre-existing mp3 files and add chapters and images to make an m4a 'enhanced podcast', and incorporate the information you give it into a feed file. It will then upload the podcast to your iDisk or other server and ping the iTunes Store for you. I've used it for three years now and found it very reliable.

  • It's impossible to create Enhanced Podcasts on Intel Macs. Please read.

    After vast amounts of frustration trying to create an Enhanced Podcast on my MacBook Pro, I tracked down the source of the problem:
    $ file /Applications/GarageBand.app/Contents/MacOS/ChapterTool
    /Applications/GarageBand.app/Contents/MacOS/ChapterTool: Mach-O executable ppc
    GarageBand uses ChapterTool to add the artwork and chapter stops to the AAC file, and ChapterTool is PPC only. Command-line applications do not run under Rosetta. Simply put, there's no way to author enhanced podcasts if you're using an Intel Mac. None. Every other tool out there to do so needs ChapterTool, too.
    Pathetic. If you, like me, are an Intel Mac user who'd like to create Enhanced Podcasts, provide some feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/garageband.html

    Simply put, there's no way to author enhanced podcasts if you're using an Intel Mac.
    Sorry, but I don't buy this. Just created an Enhanced Podcast without any problems. And given that the whole podcast stuff was introduced together with the Intel Macs, we would have heard a lot of complaints here in the forum during the last 10 months. You're the first.

  • How do I create a Podcast in Garageband?

    I'm new to the Mac OS. I open Garageband and click "Create New Podcast." The podcast creator opens, I click record by male voice, say something, click record button again to stop recording, press play but hear nothing. What am I doing wrong? My mic is fine, I tested it in the sounds section of System Preferences.

    Since you really didn't explain much about your
    setup, this is only a guess.
    You have to select "built-in Input" in GB's prefs.
    However, be warned:

    Built-in microphone is selected, but still nothing.

  • Can't import still images into a project or create a podcast track

    I'd be grateful if anyone can explain why I can't import still images onto a track like you can easily do in garage band - in garage band you simply create a podcast track, then drag your photos onto it. However in logic, when I open the media browser i can get a photo folder up but it will not allow me to even look at the contents.
    Also, why is it that the manual for logic express has nothing about how to import a movie to produce a movie score - and yet garage band can even do this.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Have you tried "Working with Video" section of the manual? It's somewhere close to the end...
    Logic works with audio, not images. That's why you can't import a photo, because media browser is used to locate audio files, mostly. And sometimes video.
    I guess it works this way, you create a podcast with Logic, bounce it to mp3 or another compressed format. Then import it into GB and insert a photo.

  • Creating a Podcast: The "explicit" tag

    I'm creating a podcast and while I don't intend to specifically create explicit content, I can't say for sure that there might not be an instance where I'm interviewing someone or I get a shot of a public event where something explicit might happen (i.e. a "swear word" heard off camera or one of those obscene boobies somewhere in the shot).
    I hate to have the "EXPLICIT" tag placed on my podcast, but I don't want to get banned either. What are your recommendations? Should I be ultra-safe and label it "explicit" just in case or can I just label the individual episodes with the tag and just say "no" in the overall feed explicit tag?

    Robbie, welcome. Nice to be prudent but this may be overkill. You can add an explicit tag to a specific podcast, for example if someone lets slip some expletive in an interview. For the most part, if your podcasts are normal, you can leave them as they are.
    If you think you have to add such a tag, it might be worthwhile including something in the description (e.g. "audience comments can be overheard and may not be to everyone's tastes, so I added an explicit tag for this episode."

  • HT1597 I created a podcast, but the picture isn't appearing in iTunes. Any ideas why?

    I created a podcast and its now in iTunes, but the pic isn't in iTunes, but it was there when it was submitted. Any ideas?

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • Has anyone  used Audacity to create a Podcast on a PC and then make it available on itunes?

    Has anyone  used Audacity to create a Podcast on a PC and then make it available on itunes?  If you have used Audacity is it a good program to use? Any tips or suggestions?

    Almost certainly. You can use any program which does what you want: the end product has to be an .mp3 or .m4a file. After that it's a question of making the feed, either writing it yourself or more likely using a program or online service.
    Audacity is a useful program, and free, and you can certainly do the sort of things you need to make a podcast. I prefer Amadeus Pro, which costs $59.99 and has recently been updated with better multi-track facilities: I always fled that Audacity was awkward to use by comparison and occasionally flaky, but we're probably splitting hairs here: it would certainly be a good place to start.

  • Modifying workflow created with podcast composer not possible?

    I want to modify a workflow created with podcast composer. Whenever I modify the template.plist the podcast producer stops working (I get an xgrid error and the task is not even shown as failed in xgrid).
    Even if I revert the change and the template.plist goes back to original the podcast producer refuses to work..... (same error as above). Restarting podcast producer does not help.
    Also other workflows don't work anymore.
    the only option is to overwrite the workflow by deploying it again from the podcast composer, restarting the podcast producer and then it's fine again.
    any help, how I can modify my template.plist ??
    thanks
    Thierry

    You CAN modify the workflows. The easiest way is to make a head start with Podcast Composer. Do everything you can in Podcast Composer and save the workflow locally. Now open the workflow package and edit template.plist. After you have edited the workflow you can no longer open it in Podcast Composer, so use the command line tool 'pcast' to upload the workflow:
    pcast --installworkflow --path <path to workflow bundle>
    pcast does a validation on the workflow for you and if you did something wrong it gives good hints on where to look in template.plist for the mistakes.
    Especially when you are using encrypted passwords and stuff it is better to do that first in Podcast Composer and edit it after that by hand. Make sure you make, edit and upload the workflow on the same machine, logged in always as the same user. Passwords are stored in the local keychain and pcast needs to access these when uploading. Good luck!

  • How do you create a podcast list by adding files?

    I have a site that has mp3s, but no podcasting subscription type tools (http://www.emmanuelnyc.org/sermons/index.html)
    I want to download the mp3s then listen to them on my ipod touch.
    How do I create a podcast group and add these files to it? I tried "add folder to library" and "add file to library" and cant' find it anywhere in itunes. Tried searching and searching... no clues.
    any assistance appreciated.

    The page you linked to has only MP3 files. There is no RSS feed (Podcast button), so those files cannot be downloaded "as Podcasts".
    However, if you right-click  any one of them you will see an option to "Save link as..." or "Save file as...", which will then allow you to download and save the MP3 onto your computer. It is not a Podcast, it is simply an MP3 file.
    A Podcast is a file (usually audio or video) that has been downloaded using an RSS feed. It is the process of being downloaded as an RSS feed that defines it as a Podcast. No matter what anyone else tells you, you cannot download an MP3 file and the turn it into a Podcast.
    Since the site provides no method of downloading the files in bulk, or automatically, then you will have to download each one individually. Put them all in one common folder.
    To add them to your iTunes Library, in iTunes, turn on the menu bar using the CTRL+B command. Then, on the File menu is...
    and using Add Folder To Library will allow you to add the files, in that folder, to your Library in one move.
    Now that the files are in your Library, you still cannot "make them appear to be Podcasts". Once again, this is the case - no matter who might tell you otherwise.
    But -
    I'm going to assume that you do not want these files to play when you're listening to your music, especially in shuffle mode. This is often why people want to set these files as Podcasts (and various bodges have been tried in order to try and achieve this end).
    The trick is to set the files to Skip when shuffling and this can be done to all the files at once. Highlight all the files in question and select File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and change the drop-down to Yes.
    Now, since they are set to skip when shuffling, that's exactly what will happen. It also means that you can start (and play the whole of) each file individually and if the iPod is still in shuffle mode, it will stop at the end of each episode. To play several, or all episodes without pause, simply turn off shuffle and navigate to the first episode. They will then play one after the other.
    By the way, you cannot use the custom podcast feed method that you mentioned. It's simply another bodge.
