Enhanced Podcast Video Export

Hey there. I need a way to export my enhanced podcasts to a video format so the images that are associated with the audio can appear in programs like iMovie. I tried exporting it as a normal AAC file, but iMovie completely ignored the fact that it was an enhanced podcast.
Is there anyway to export the podcast from GarageBand in a video format? Are there ways other than this to get iMovie to recognize the images?

Thanks for the speedy reply, I've already tried most of what you have suggested.
I've put in and out marker points. I've kept everything generic to what the export function is defaulted to.
I tried exporting (video) (interactive image) and only thing that I seem to get working is an MP3 generated through compressor which doesn't really help my cause in trying to have chapter marked images or 'slides'made from the movie which is currently on the soundtrack timeline..

Enhanced podcast NOT exporting chapters

I have been podcasting for more than a year and I just started having this problem. When I export an enhanced podcast (to disk or iWeb), the resulting .m4a does not include the chapters.
I have the podcast track active when I export. Everything looks as it should, but no matter how many times I export the project, I don't get the chapters. Sometimes I don't even get the episode artwork.
PLEASE!! Help me out. I have a project that is ready to launch, but I need to have the chapters included.
Anyone?

Oh!! I am having this EXACT same problem. My other podcasts exported with the chapters and artwork I placed for them, and now it does not export the art or chapters. I am doing exactly the same thing I was doing before.
Please help!!! Did you find a solution to this??
Does anyone out there know how to fix this?

I can't get garageband to export! It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast. Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband. I have all the current updates. I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram. My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result. I have tried deleting GB preferences. I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there? I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:
w4b3l said:
Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

Exporting Enhanced Podcast

Using GB 08 to create enhanced podcast with embedded jpeg files of PowerPoint presentation. Completed the episode and exported using export to iTunes but it only appears in iTunes as a AAC music files no images appear. I tried exporting to disk and adding to the iTunes library with same result.
The files will play and display images correctly using Quicktime but not iTunes. I also tried exporting to iWeb, hoping I could pull the converted file from there to upload into iTunes but no luck.
So what gives?! I've mixed results when using GarageBand to create podcasts and starting to think I should just stick to using iMovie to do this.
Thanks
Jerry

... it only appears in iTunes as a AAC music files no images appear.
Enhanced podcasts do appear as music files in iTunes. How the images are displayed depends on your iTunes settings. In my settings, for example, the image appears in that little window below the playlists, and if I close that window, I don't see anything at all. Maybe you have done that?

Can't get enhanced podcast exported correctly!?!?

As an experiment to developing an enhanced podcast of my own I took a live audio cd and imported it into GB 3.0.2 on one stereo audio track as one continuous file. I then added chapter markers and images on the podcast track.
It seems that no matter what I try I can't seem to get my iPod to recognize the chapters. I've tried exporting to disk and iTunes as well as tried editing the info through iTunes itself to no avail. Plus I also notice that the file doesn't display in iTunes under the Podcast heading like my other downloaded podcasts do.
I even tried deleting all other unused audio tracks as one previous thread suggested that GB has trouble with exporting enhanced podcasts with multiple audio tracks and a mixdown should be performed first and then chapterized. Although as the post also said the menu sould read "Export Enhanced Podcast to Disk..." which mine doesn't say.
Any help in solving this dellima would be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac G5 ~ w/4.5Gb Ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Alright Kids,
It seems that my G5 just doesn't seem to get it! I moved GB and supporting audio files over to my PowerBook G4 and was able to create the podcast with the chapters embedded as I was looking to do.
However the file with multiple audio tracks would not create the chapterized file correctly, and it wasn't until I deleted all unused tracks to one audio track and podcast track that I got the desired result.
I would presume that performing a mixdown and importing the mixed down file into a new GB file to add chapters would be the work around to the issue and in essence be the equivalent to my deleting unused tracks.

Exporting enhanced podcast to share

Trying to help my daughter share an enhanced podcast created in Garageband with her friends. We have exported the file using AAC conversion. We have an .mp4 file. Whats next? She wants to post the file for viewing on facebook. It is a podcast featuring music and photos. However, I cant seem to see the photos in anything but garageband Any help is appreciated! This is our first mac and we are learning together!

Viewing Enhanced Podcasts?

Hopefully I'm overlooking something, but I can't seem to figure out how to automatically view still images included in enhanced podcasts on my iPad. When I download the podcasts from iTunes, they load and play via my iPod application. I see the poster frame and the audio plays fine, but I can't see subsequent images the way I can when viewing the same podcasts in iTunes on my MBP, MP or MB.
The podcasts I'm trying to watch is "The Martin Bailey Photography Podcast," in case an example will help.
Thanks!

here's been my work around solution that seems to work fine - there's probably a quicker way, so let me know.
1. from garage band, share to disk (for better quality images, i took off the set images to 300x300 box). don't send to itunes yet. file exports as an .m4a.
2. open .m4a file using quicktime (i use quicktime player 10.0). file uploads images, chapters, etc.
3. save file as .mov file. (select format that works for you - i've been trying the HD 480p option).
4. drag .mov file to itunes.
5. sync MOVIES. play within movies.
6. play out of the video APP.
hope that helps. let me know if you have any better luck or other options. seems terrible that i would have to save every enhanced podcast as a .mov file.

Trouble viewing enhanced podcasts

When I am using iTunes, I can click on the album art and it displays (almost) full-screen in its own window.
When I am watching a video in iTunes, I can option-click the small image and the movie will play (almost) full-screen in its own window.
If I am watching an enhanced podcast (.m4b) in iTunes, the pictures change (like a slide show) at the beginning of each “chapter.” If I click one of these pictures, it displays (almost) full-screen in its own window. (So far so good...)
Here’s my question / problem:
When viewing an enhanced podcast in its own window, the pictures do not change in the large window. I can see the pictures still changing in the smaller “album art” window, but the only way to view the picture sequence in the larger window seems to be to click on the small image every time it advances to the new image.
Is this right? Is there some way to watch the changing pictures in their own window?

How can I reduce a large podcast video without losing quality?

I am in the process of putting online a podcast video, that I have exported for ipod with quicktime. However, the file is rather large (100MB) and it is complicate for me to break it into smaller files. As I start iWeb it warns me that the file is large and it would require long download times. I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the size of podcast/ipod files without compromising quality too much.
Thank you very much!

Enhanced Podcasts with QT7 Pro for Win??

I purchased QT7 Pro thinking I might be able to create an enhanced podcast on the PC since Apple's Chapter Tool isn't available for PC and there seems to be nothing mentioning anywhere if and when it will ever be available for PC.
I created an MP4 movie with AAC audio and a photo JPEG video track... and made sure that my movie had the exact same codecs and specs as the "Make Magazine Enhanced Podcast" did, as stated in the movie info tabs. I added chapters and the two files SEEM like they play identical in Quicktime Player... but when I add "my" file I created into iTunes, it doesn't display chapters or artwork like it did in QT Player
All the specs seem identical. What's different?
Can this be done? It seems like it SHOULD work...

Thanks David.
I kept researching and reading after putting up the post.
Upgrading to OS 10.4 & DSP4 & FCP5 to get Compressor 2 is just to expensive for me at this time.
And after much thought upgrading to QT7 for h.264 just to watch videos online, (and not having broadband thats a very time consuming process), I think I'll just stay with what I have at the moment which works well.
Many Thanks for the feedback and confirmation.

Enhanced Podcasts Too Small to See

I work at a university where we're looking into using podcasts as a teaching tool.
We're considering a software that will automatically record/sync a professor's lecture (audio) and PowerPoint notes (actually anything from the computer screen) into an enhanced podcast.
The trouble is... when viewing this on my 5th gen iPod, you can't read anything from the PowerPoint slides. Almost 1/2 " from either side of the screen... and almost 1/4" inch from the top & bottom of the screen... aren't being used.
I suspect this has something to do with maintaining the aspect ratio of the original source? Is there any way around this? To utilize more of the screen? What's the maximum image size for an enhanced podcast?
Another method we've employed involves creating video podcasts of the same lectures/PowerPoint slides. You lose the ability to add chapters - but the video takes up the entire iPod screen (so you can actually read the notes!)
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

I agree, this needs to be addressed big time. It's a waste having to open the template, just to decide against it and have to close the whole document, then open a new doc to view the template gallery again. This is why I also suggest a way to view the template gallery from a button on the toolbar as well, rather than only when opening a new doc. I'm amazed this wasn't implemented by Apple...
If there is a way to view the template gallery and select new templates without opening a completely new doc, please let me know.

Enhanced podcast (don't see chapter and pictures in podcast app on iphone or ipad)

hi people !
i create enhanced podcast, and try that podcast on itunes app on my pc. Everything work ok, except pictures but i know that this is bug with curent version of iTunes. Then i opet same m4a enhanced podcast in quicktime app on my pc, again everything work ok, i see chapters and i see pictures. Then i put same file on my server, i see that podcast in my podcast app on my iphone and ipad and when i stream it , i don't see pic and logo for chapters. when i scan my enhanced m4a podcast file i see that my file have: general,audio, video & menu section
in first general section
Format :

this not working on podcast app on iphone or ipad !
then i scan enhanced podcast file downloaded from podcast app from my iphone with working chapters and pic made with garage band on mac by someone
and i see sections: general,audio, video and text 1 and text 2 sections (my not working does not have that last 2 , my last is menu section)
Format :
MPEG-4
Format profile :
Apple audio with iTunes info
Codec ID :
M4A
look at format profile ! it says Apple audio with iTunes info !
last thing is that i download from appstore app called Downcast, and try my enhanced podcast in that app wooow, everything work again ok when i stream, i see chapters i see pic. then at the end i download
Podreel — Enhanced podcast authoring tool for Windows
and try to build test podcast with that app, when i analyze enhanced podcast made with that app i see info say that podcast is made with garageband ??? this is fake tag made by podreel because podcast is made with podreel and not garage band, file made with podreel have this
Format :
MPEG-4
Format profile :
Apple audio with iTunes info
Codec ID :
M4A
again format profile is same like one from that working.
is podreel make fake tag because podcast app in iphone and ipad play exclusively enhnaced podcas make with garage band (podreel fake tag) or somebody know where I'm wrong. why my enhanced podcast don't play pics and chapters when is on iphone or ipad podcast app. i will write again that my file work on downcast app on iphone or ipad, work on pc in itunes, work on quicktime player etc work everywhere except there where i want to work in podcast app on iphone or ipad

hehe if somebody knows something this is def you Roger about first thing with seeing pic in itunes i think that i read all possible posts on web in last 7 days and nights and this is not working on my pc with control-click (Windows) but i don't care ! i wait for apple do magic bug fixing on new itunes version. And now about main problem. iOS devices are capable displaying chapter images because this is working right now with some podcast on my phone, i give you pic example iphone 4 iOS 6.1.2
in first pic you can see streaming podcast and chapters (little white dots on bar),second picture is first song with cover of single playing, and if you look close right from the clock zzz simbol is chapter logo, if you press it you will be see pic no.3 so this def working but working when you mad your podcast on mac with garage band ! that's why i write about format ids, tags etc

This is now real mistery to me !
i analyze your file here and you have in last section menu1 and menu 2 so maybe problem is somwhere around this, not in format id because you have ok format id like one that working ok

7.1.6 update broke enhanced podcast in safari

hi.
i'm seeing some issues about the 7.1.6 update in the boards, but none that are quite what i'm experiencing. after applying the update i can view flash movies, and files from youtube, etc.; it is only the enhanced podcasts (in this case on an rss feed) that i'm having trouble with.
i have done the usual fixes, including reinstalling via download, repair permissions, delete plist files (move first - THEN delete!), tried other browsers. i have not tried an "archive and install", as i'm hoping to find a less drastic solution.
the offending site displays fine with 7.1.5 on a very similarly configured imac g4. am i alone? any other suggestions?

It appears to be a "bug" in 7.1.6 and the browser plug-in.
The .m4a files (MPEG-4 audio) that also include a video track seem to start to load via the plug-in (a quick display of the image then a change to the QT ? icon).
I suggested changing the extension to .m4v in another post as a "temporary" fix until Apple identifies the error and sends us a fix.
I think the error is part of new security features in QuickTime. The .m4a should be an audio file (this is what the plug-in expects) and when it finds the "video" it turns off the plug-in. The same file will play just fine in QuickTime Player.

Having trouble with enhanced podcasts, Can anyone help me adjust my iPod?

Whenever I listen to my enhanced podcasts through iTunes, I have no problems viewing the photos the podcaster included in the program. However, when I play the same podcast in my iPod, the photos will not show. I only see the timeline with the little segments that represent the chapters. I can hit the forward and back arrows and I am taken the to the next chapter marker. But, unfortunately, I do not see the photos, as I do see them in iTunes.
Can anyone help me adjust my iPod to enable it to play enhanced podcasts correctly?
According to the iPod manuals, I should be able to see enhanced podcasts with no trouble.
Thanks.

I have solved it myself. Here's how I did it:
In iTunes, go to Edit and click to Show Art Work and leave it as "Hide Art Work." (Now it will download the enhanced messages.)
Now go to the iPod: From the Main Menu, go to Settings. At the Settings, go to the other Main Menu. From this Main Menu, go to Music and make sure that the following are on:
Playlists, Photos, and Photo Import, Videos, and Extras.
Good Luck.

Enhanced Podcast question(s)

I used SoundtrackPro to create an enhanced podcast. I shows up in iTunes as one long track (with chapters and graphics embedded) pretty much how I intended it show.
However 1) I'm not sure how to access the url links that I embedded in it as well (I thought clicking on the cover would do it but no...) 2) How can I get this podcast show up in a podcast directory instead of my music library?

PS to the above:
I just plugged in my iPhone and it turns out that my podcast can't be dragged on it - I suppose it wants to there through syncing? So It's a bit of a hybrid file: neither a simple m4a nor a podcast.. sigh
(I did use the correct export settings in Soundtrack - AAC/Enhanced Podcast)
