Creating Podcasts
in Soundtrack Pro
Soundtrack Pro gives you the tools to create professional
podcasts of your projects.
You can quickly and easily produce audio and video podcasts directly from within
Soundtrack Pro projects. And you can take video projects from Final Cut Pro and make
podcasts from them using Soundtrack Pro. Podcasts are audio and video broadcasts
available on the Internet. Unlike traditional radio and television shows with set
schedules, podcasts can be listened to at any time in the iTunes application or on an
iPod. You can even publish your podcast to iTunes and reach a potential audience of
millions. Besides democratizing what used to be known as radio, the podcasting
movement provides new avenues of distribution for recorded lectures and educational
materials, audio tours of museums, conference meeting updates, and so on.
Soundtrack Pro provides professional and prosumer podcasters the tools to create
extremely high-quality podcasts. And with the podcasting workflow built right into
Soundtrack Pro, audio post-production personnel can easily lay off iPod-ready versions
of their sound for picture mix or edit. This way, a small audience of clients and
colleagues can enjoy the convenience of listening to or watching the programs using
iPod or iTunes.
Podcasts fall into three broad categories:
 Audio-only podcasts: At the very least, a podcast contains an audio file. For
information about types of compressed audio files, see “
 Enhanced podcasts: The audio content may have one or more associated images and
web links that can be synchronized with the audio track. Also, chapter markers can
be embedded that allow listeners to jump to specific sections of the content.
 Video podcasts: Video podcasts typically include both video and audio content. The
technical requirements for video podcasts are more specific. For information about
video file formats for podcasting, see “
Podcasts are typically published in a series of episodes. Soundtrack Pro supports the
creation of episodes.
