Applying a Theme to a Podcast
Themes provide a consistent look and feel to your podcast, especially if your podcast
consists of movies created by different people.
To select a theme for your podcast:
1 In Podcast Composer, go to the Edit stage (choose Stages > Edit or press Command-3).
2 Click the Theme button in the Edit stage of Podcast Composer.
3 Choose a theme from the pop-up menu.
A dialog appears prompting you to confirm that changing the theme modifies your
current settings in the Edit stage.
4 Click Yes to change the theme; otherwise, click No.
5 Choose File > Save.
Working with Quartz Composer Compositions
Podcast Composer provides a number of Quartz Composer compositions. However,
you can create your own and make them available to Quartz Composer.

Creating Quartz Composer Compositions
You can customize Quartz Composer compositions that ship with Podcast Producer or
you can create your own compositions. However, you must have strong familiarity with
Apple’s Quartz Composer, the application you use to create Quartz compositions.
The default Quartz Composer compositions that ship with Podcast Producer are in the
following folder:
/Applications/Server/Podcast Composer/Contents/Resources/Materials/Compositions/
This folder contains the following folders:
DualSource Â
This folder stores the dual source transitions, which you can access in the Edit
stage of Podcast Composer. For example, the Keynote.pqz bundle represents the
Keynote composition.
Titles
Â
This folder contains two folders:
Bumper contains the bumper title composition bundles.
Overlay contains the overlay title composition bundles.
