Novice with GarageBand: Can I export completed podcast as m4a file?

Hello
Can you help me?
I thought I could create a .m4A file from GarageBand, but I can't find a way to do that.
Is it possible? How do I do that? I'm on a MacBook, OS X 10.7.5 and GarageBand 6.0.5
Many thanks for looking and hopefully being able to answer this question.
Jennie

First of all, GarageBand is an amzing tool to record/prepare your enhanced podcast with all the artwork, chapters, etc.
You export your finished podcast the same way you would export a song.
You do that in from the Share Menu. Be careful, because the menu items are dynamic,whihc mean they change depending what is currently selected in your Project. Make sure you have the Podcast Track visible. This changes the "Send Song to iTunes..." to "Send Podcast to iTunes..."
On the next page, select Compress using AAC. That creates an .m4a file during the export.
Hope that helps

  • Problems copying iTunes folder to an external hard drive - "The operation can't be completed because the item FILE NAME is in use"

    Hi,
    I have been trying to back up my iTunes folder from my MacBook hard drive over to a new LaCie external hard drive.  However, whenever I try to do it at some point during the copying I keep getting the warning "The operation can’t be completed because the item FILE NAME is in use".  Each time I have tried it, it is always a different file name that comes up and at different points of the copying.  Following the warning, the copying stops and cannot be restarted.
    I tried copying the iTunes folder to another Lacie external hard drive that I have, and it worked fine so I am guessing that it maybe something wrong with the hard drive.
    I've been trying various approaches all day and can't seem to get anywhere with it - all very frustrating, so any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks.

    If you don't have other backup data on it, reformatting external drive could solve the problem.

  • Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3?

    Hi All
    Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3? I got an exception that 'Decoder is not available' when I played m4a file on windows xp sp3(it didn't work on vista either), but it works fine on windows 7 , so I guess Javafx media player needs some system dependencies or resources when it plays media files, do you have any suggestions for this ?

    To allow playback on Windows XP, you need to install the correct software in addition to JavaFX.
    Once the system has been upgraded to meet the minimum requirements for playback of a particular type of video encoding, then playback should work fine.
    See the JavaFX Media portion of the JavaFX 2.2 System Requirements:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/system_requirements_2-2/jfxpub-system_requirements_2-2.htm
    Note, m4a is just a container file and data streams inside the container format need to match a supported JavaFX format for playback to work:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html
    Some approaches you could take:
    - additionally encode the media in VP6 format and fallback to VP6 playback if H.264 playback fails.
    - use a 3rd party player like VLC.
    - don't bother supporting Windows XP video playback.
    - direct a browser to a divx install page if playback fails (http://www.divx.com/).

  • How can I export a smallformat flatten PDF-file with transparant parts in?

    My post on a PDF - more clear with images (english):

    Deze post in nederlandstalige versie:
    http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-nl.pdf
    Scope?
    I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
    - the smallest possible file size
    - which displays images and text sharp on the screen
    - which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
    - that is flattened for easy print
    The problem?
    ▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
    ▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    Further explanation
    The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
    ▪ With InDesign 5.0?
    → In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
    Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
    Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
    Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
    Standard > PDF/X-format?
    Compatibility > PDF-version?

    → How can I reduce the file size extra, so more reducing after exporting into PDF ?
    → How can I flatten the exported file (if not done during the export) ?
    !! Important, when I export/reduce/flatten the file, I ‘dd like that the parts of images who were transparent before, stays also transparent after !!
    WHAT CAN I DO ??

    Hello,
    I'm sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately, this forum is for the ExportPDF service of Acrobat.com. The ExportPDF service functions as a PDF to *.docx file convertion and we can't help with problems specific to the desktop version of Acrobat or InDesign.  I'm happy to point you in the right direction.

  • Can I export PSD layers to PSD files like I could do in ImageReady 2?

    Hi Folks,
    I've been chasing this Layer Export Nirvana for a couple of years now but I've got nowhere.
    In ImageReady 2 I could import a PSD file and export layers with exactly the name I used for each layer (with no annotations, prefixes or suffixes), with the entire file size (not cropped to the edge of the image) in a PSD format.
    The script in Photoshop adds extenions to the file name that I can't see how to turn off.
    I've tried a couple of free (SciptsRus) and commercial (Ferry) scripts but they don't seem to work with my version of Photoshop (Mac CS5 OS X 10.7.4). Is this a result of the recent Javascript updates with Mac OS X 10.7? I'll contact the authors of these scripts next and see what they say.
    I tried a PC program called Super Layer which exports to PNG files and almost was what I wanted except it cropped the file size to the size of the image. I could get away with this I suppose if I copied a 1% single pixel into each corner of the file but that would be time consuming for all the layers I need to export (500-600) and means I'd have to rasterise the type layers which is also double handling.
    I've even tried Graphic Converter on a Mac but can't get that to quite work. I end up with solid white backgrounds and no transparency.
    All I want is to open a PSD file (preferably on Mac OS) and export each layer at the same size on a transparent background with just the name of the layer as the file name as a PSD file. I'll alos accept .PNG format as well as long as I get transparency and full file size. Just like we could do with brilliant effeiciency with ImageReady CS2. I've actually kept an old version of ImageRady on my PC for just this purpose but surely in the 21st Century there is a way around this?
    Many thanks in anticipation for any help offered.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with some of the scripts. Normally this is due to the prefferences becoming corrupt. They can be trashed to see if all then works..
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    I have also written a new script yesterday that includes adjustments layers if the exist, so that may work for you?

  • How can I export metadata to a csv file in CS4?

    Help please, I used Workflow Automation Scripts on CS3 but it doesn't seem to work on CS4.

    OK,
    after combing through these posts and trying various 'solutions' I have found that the Barred Rock export metadata script is the only one I have been able to get to work in CS4, kinda. It is a superior script to the original workflow automation script that edo75 refers to, as it does not seem to have the comma issue encountered by jesse and others, where if there are any commas in your metadata it creates a new column and your excel file becomes nonsensical and disorganized. There is a way to avoid this by the way, simply by opening a new file in excel and importing the csv file as text, you then tell excel to read the data the right way by selecting various delimiter combinations. It is not a perfect solution but I have found that by doing this it places most of my metadata in the proper columns, and I end up doing a minimal amount of editing. The barred rock version, which I assume is a modified version of the original script available from adobe as the interface is exactly the same, does not seem to have this issue with commas at all, I am unsure why. If B. Stucky is still reading these posts he may be able to answer, as I think he wrote this script?
    Anyhow I was able to get the script to load in CS4 and then I had to tweek the script to recognize my custom metadata schema, which I was able to do. Now however there is an issue with it recognizing the actual metadata in the image files. I suspect it is a mynamespace issue, that is, I do not have the right path for it to locate the actual metadata for export.
    here is where I suspect the problem lay, where this "http://NPSAlaskaImageStandard" is incorrect.
    new MdNs.MetadataNamespace( "NPS Alaska Image Standard", "http://NPSAlaskaImageStandard", "NPSAlaskaImageStandard" );
    I am a total novice with this stuff so this may not be it at all, however this is my best guess, anyone know the answer?

  • Can you export a Quick Time REFERENCE file from Final Cut Pro X?

    Used to be in FCP-7, you could export your timeline and at the bottom of the Export dialog box, there was a check box where you could check "Make the movie self-contained," which would export a full Quick Time .mov file, or you could UNCHECK that box and FCP would export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (referencing the source media used within the timeline), which you could then bring in to any one of a number of different encoding apps.
    I prefer to use Sorenson Squeeze to do my encoding, as it's much, much faster than Compressor and has infinitely more format options (Flash, Windows Media, Real, etc., etc.).
    But now, I don't see a way to export a Quick Time Reference file from the Final Cut Pro timeline, er, uh, storyline, er, uh, project.
    Anybody know if there's a way to export a Quick Time REFERENCE file (not a full Quick Time .mov)?

    I do the same thing with Final Cut Express, actually.  Only I then open the reference file up in QuickTime Pro and re-export it to an h.264 mp4.  I can do that multiple times in the background vs. getting caught up in Final Cut's pathetically non-threaded user interface when it's saving/exporting.
    I was going to ask the exact same question here, but you beat me to it.  And so far it sounds like the answer is "no" ... :-(

    Export -> Master Mix - choose the File Type -> *Using Compressor*, this will give you options for re-encoding or preserving the video file.

  • Recovery with RMAN in case of complete lost of all files

    Hi,
    I am using RMAN in nocatalog mode to backup my databases to tape using the RMAN-Module for Legato.
    I4ve read that in case of loosing all my controlfiles i cannot easily restore the controlfiles.
    Lets assume the following scenario:
    I am performing a daily full backup with RMAN in nocatalog mode. Approx. 2 hours after the completed backup my machine crashes and all files (i.e. OS-Files, Database, Controlfiles) are lost.
    Now I have to reinstall the OS, reinstall Oracle and restore the backup.
    Due to backups made with RMAN in nocatalog mode i have the restore the controlfies prior to restore the database. Metalink says restoring the controlfile from RMAN in nocatalog mode is not that easy.
    Is there any way to restore the controlfile from RMAN in nocatalog mode in case of complete crash ??
    Thanks.
    Ronny.

    RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'filename...' doesn't appear to be supported in 8i.
    What are the options for 8i?.
    I have the backup sets with me from my previous installation before crash which also contains Control files.
    However I am unclear as to how to proceed wit RMAN recovery with those files. There seems to be no way to point RMAN to those backupsets since RMAN apparently reads its information from catalog or the control file in case of nocatalog.
    I think if there is a way to atleast restore the control file from the backup set, RMAN can proceed since it will find all the other backup details there.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    thanks

  • I can't export to DivX and XVID files

    Hi all,
    although I have installed the DivX and XVID Codecs, iMovie 08 (7.1.4) won't show me the Option to export Video with these codecs. If I choose to export with Quicktime, the only options I can choose are:
    3G, Apple TV, AVI, Bildsequenz, DV Stream, FLC, iPhone, iPod, MPEG4, QuickTime Film, AIFF, AU, Wave
    I also cannot import a XVID avi file to iMovie, although the Quicktime Player plays it allright. Did I understand anything wrong or should both work? What's going wrong?
    My preferred workflow would be:
    1.) Import AVCHD Files from my Panasonic HDC SD5 Camera in HD Quality
    2.) Cut it with iMovie 08
    3.) Export the new Video to either a DivX or XVid HD avi-File.
    What can I do to get this working? I am using Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a Macbook 2,4 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM.

    iMovie '08 can import the AVCHD-Files from my camcorder, but cannot export the result in Xvid or DivX?
    Yes it does.
    I want to have the possibility to do a little more editing than I could do in QuickTime Pro. So what would be the suggested workflow for me without buying other software? Something like this?
    What you can do is:
    1) let iMovie '08 import the AVCHD to a an iMovie '08 Event Folder,
    2) open the iMovie '08 Event Folder AIC/AIFF files in iMovie HD,
    3) edit in iMovie HD,
    4) and export the edited iMovie HD project as XviD or DivX.
    Any editing done in iMovie '08 is done "by reference" and does not exist as a physical rendered file until or unless you output your iMovie '08 project by sharing or exporting. To do so is to simply go from one intermediate file to another which I assume is what you want to avoid. If you want to avoid this, simply open the AIC/AIFF file directly in iMovie HD as an HD project (AIC/AIFF files import as AIC/AIFF).

  • How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

    I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
    *The file:*
    *Retains sound, builds and movement.*
    *Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
    I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
    There are videos on youtube showing you how to upgrade to QT Pro for free...

  • Problem with text frame dropshadow not completely printing to pdf file.

    Hi and thanks for your speedy replies!
    I am editing a file that had altered corner text frames with a .25 inset and a drop shadow added, .05 stroke and paper swatch. When I deleted text everything shifted so I had to recreate the special frames on select pages. These new text frames are not showing the top and left sides of the frames when saved to pdf file. The right and bottom drop shadow are showing.  What am I missing?
    Cheers!

    I am using the latest version in CC. I tried several exports directly from ID, PDF/X-3:2002, PDF/X-1a:2001 and the low res setting, all with no changes.  None showed the left or top border on the frames in question.
    So I was getting the first screen shot instead of the second which other similarly formatted frames showed.  I checked every setting I could find and they were all the same.  The problem just occurred after the point in the doc that I had made changes resulting in some pages being deleted and the page formatting being thrown off which I corrected with the appropriate saved page formats.  But when I went to set up the frame dropshadow and accompanying stroke and swatches, the outline just would not show in the pdf although it appeared to be showing in ID.
    I've since discovered a work around for the editing so no pages were deleted, but I need to figure out why this happened and what I am not seeing. Perhaps a setting to show the border? Or maybe it is some overall setting that I need to be looking for? Just weird, weird, weird...

Maybe you are looking for
