110 Chapter 10 Tutorial 8: Creating Podcasts
Creating a Video Podcast or Movie Project
Creating a video podcast is similar to creating an audio podcast, except that it includes
a movie or video file and does not include artwork. You can import an iMovie project or
other QuickTime-compatible video file, view the video as you add audio, and add and
edit markers. When you’re finished, you can send the completed project to iWeb to
publish as a video podcast, send it to iDVD to burn to a DVD, or export it as a
QuickTime movie.
Creating a Video Podcast Project
1 Choose File > New.
The New Project dialog appears.
2 Click New Project, then click Movie.
3 Click Choose.
A new, empty movie project appears in the GarageBand window.
Importing a Movie or Video File
You can import an iMovie project or other video file from the Media Browser. The
Media Browser lets you quickly locate iMovie projects and other video files in your
computer’s Movies folder, as well as other media files. For information about finding
and importing iMovie projects and video files using the Media Browser, see “Importing
Media Files with the Media Browser” on page 105.
When you import a movie into a project, the movie appears in the movie track,
beginning at the start of the project. You can’t change the position of the imported
movie in the project.
Note: A project can contain only one movie or video file. If you import a movie into a
project that already contains one, a dialog appears asking if you want to replace the
existing movie with the new one.
Viewing the Movie
When you import a movie into a project, the movie track appears at the top of the
timeline, showing still frames from the movie. You can view the movie
To view the movie or video file:
1 If the movie track is not visible, choose Track > Show Movie Track.
2 Click the Preview button (the large square button showing a movie frame) in the
header of the movie track.
The movie preview window appears.
