Podcast Maker Tip
Creating enhanced podcasts can be a tedious process, especially if you have lots of images to add. The task can be especially daunting if you have lots of slides from a presentation you gave that you want to turn into an enhanced podcast. In such a case, export your slides as a PDF file then drop it into Podcast Maker’s enhanced podcast area. You can export your slides in Keynote using the Export… menu item under the File menu. In PowerPoint, you can print your slides to a PDF file (thank you Mac OS X!).
Some users use this feature to make a “template” for their enhanced podcasts. Although you can still do that, in more recent versions of Podcast Maker you can just copy paste the chapters from older episodes.
One more thing. If you are going to turn your slides into chapter images, bump up the maximum chapter image size in the preferences. The default is the Apple recommended 300×300, but at that size your slides will not be legible.

This is a great tip. I’ve been making separate .jpg images (text on background) for my enhanced podcasts. This will save me a ton of time! Added to the subchapter tip, this makes my podcast generation so much better!
Thank you for the great app and for the tips!
