Preface About This Guide

Printing PDF Guides

If you want to print a guide, you can take these steps to save paper and ink:
ÂÂ Save ink or toner by not printing the cover page.
ÂÂ Save color ink on a color printer by looking in the panes of the Print dialog for an

option to print in grays or black and white.
ÂÂ Reduce the bulk of the printed document and save paper by printing more than

one page per sheet of paper. In the Print dialog, change Scale to 115% (155%
for Getting Started). Then choose Layout from the untitled pop-up menu. If your
printer supports two-sided (duplex) printing, select one of the Two-Sided options.
Otherwise, choose 2 from the Pages per Sheet pop-up menu, and optionally choose
Single Hairline from the Border menu. (If you’re using Mac OS X v10.4 or earlier,
the Scale setting is in the Page Setup dialog and the Layout settings are in the
Print dialog.)
You may want to enlarge the printed pages even if you don’t print double sided,
because the PDF page size is smaller than standard printer paper. In the Print dialog
or Page Setup dialog, try changing Scale to 115% (155% for Getting Started, which has
CD-size pages).

Getting Documentation Updates

Preface About This Guide

Podcast Composer Overview

Use this chapter to learn concepts about Podcast Composer
and how you can use it to create Podcast Producer
workflows.
Podcast Producer workflows are self-contained file bundles that contain all the
information, code, and resources that Podcast Producer needs to produce podcasts.
Developing a workflow manually can be a challenging task for developers and
nondevelopers alike because it involves editing XML files, using Podcast Producer
command-line tools, and ensuring that all resources are included in the right place in
the bundle. The more complicated the workflow is, the more time it takes to build.
Podcast Composer, an application that ships with Mac OS X Server, simplifies and
speeds up the process of building workflows by providing you with a simple graphical
user interface. All you do is provide information about the workflow, without writing
XML code or worrying about where to store resources and credentials.
With Podcast Composer, creative individuals and administrators can easily develop
workflows that can be immediately used, or customized later by developers.
Podcast Composer builds highly optimized workflows that take advantage of the
parallel processing capability offered by Xgrid.

How Podcast Composer Works

Podcast Composer groups the process of building a workflow into seven stages that
step you through the process of creating a workflow:
Stage 1. Information You specify basic workflow information: workflow name,
workflow author’s name, and a brief description of the workflow.
Stage 2. Import You tell the workflow what to expect as input: a single QuickTime
movie, two QuickTime movies, or a set of documents that are compatible with Quick
Look. The output of this stage is a single QuickTime movie. If the input to this stage is
two movies, Podcast Composer produces a picture-in-picture movie. If the input to this
stage is documents, Podcast Composer produces treats document pages as images
and renders them into a movie with transitions between the images. If a document is
a video, Podcast Composer concatenates it with the other documents as a movie.
Stage 3. Edit You specify how you want to brand the podcast that this workflow
produces by adding watermarks, introduction, title, and exit movies. The output of
this stage is called the Edited Master movie. This stage produces a high-quality movie
at the highest possible resolution based on the resolution of the input movies. The
Edited Master movie is a flat QuickTime media file that is used in the following stages
of the workflow.
Stage 4. Export You select the different types of encodings to be used for publishing
your podcast. For example, you might want your podcast to be available in three
flavors: iPhone/iPod, Apple TV, and AAC (audio-only).
Stage 5. Publish You determine how the podcast is published. For example, you can
configure the Publish stage to publish the different versions of the podcast to the
Podcast Library.
Stage 6. Notify You create the notifications that you want the workflow to send after
the podcast is published. You can send notifications to users and administrators with
instruction on how to access the podcast. You can also send notifications to services to
let them know that new content is published to the Podcast Library.
Stage 7. Summary You verify your selections. If no more changes are required, you
deploy the workflow to Podcast Producer server.
When working on a particular stage, Podcast Composer keeps the previous and next
stages in view to provide context.
The workflow that you generate using Podcast Composer is a file bundle. A workflow
bundle contains the code, resources, credentials, workflow description, and all the
information needed to execute the workflow.
In the Export, Publish, and Notify stages, you can’t have more than nine elements
per stage.

Chapter 1 Podcast Composer Overview

Navigating the Podcast Composer Stages

Podcast Composer provides several ways to view and navigate stages.
Using the Arrow Keys
ÂÂ Use the Up and Down arrow keys to move from one stage to another.
ÂÂ Use the Right and Left arrow keys to move among items in a stage.

Using the Commands in the Stages Menu
ÂÂ To move to a stage, choose Stage > stage name or use the Command-[stage
number] shortcut. For example, to go to the Edit stage, choose Stages > Edit or
press Command-3.
ÂÂ To move up or down the stages, use the Stages > Previous or Stages >

Next command.
ÂÂ To view all stages at once, choose Stages > Overview or press Command-Return.

To return to the normal view, use the same command. This command lets you
switch between normal and overview views. You can also double-click the header
of a stage to run the Overview mode.
You can also use the Tab and Shift-Tab keys for navigation.

see Chapter 9, “Advanced Podcast Composer Topics.”

Chapter 1 Podcast Composer Overview

Configuring Basic Workflow
Information

Use this chapter to set the name, author, and description
information of a workflow.
Every workflow defines a set of metadata or information about the workflow. Podcast
Composer lets you define three fields that are referenced in Podcast Producer server:
Workflow Name, Author, and Description.

Configuring Basic Workflow Information

In the first Podcast Composer stage, Information, you specify the following information
or metadata:
ÂÂ Workflow Name—The name of the workflow. This is the name that appears in the

Workflow pane of the Podcast Producer service. It also appears in the Workflow
drop-down menu in Podcast Capture. This name can be different from the name you
give to the Workflow bundle you create with Podcast Composer.
ÂÂ Author—The name of the workflow’s author information for your workflow. When

building your workflow in Podcast Composer, you can configure the workflow
settings to display the author information in the resulting podcast.

ÂÂ Description—A brief description of your workflow. The description you enter here

helps Podcast Producer administrators and Podcast Capture users understand what
the workflow does.

When you create a workflow bundle with Podcast Composer, the Workflow
Name, Author, and Description metadata is stored in the Info.plist file inside the
workflow’s bundle.
To set the workflow name, author, and description information:
1 In Podcast Composer, go to the Information stage (choose Stages > Information or
press Command-1).
2 In the Workflow Name field, enter the name of the workflow as you want it to appear
in Server Admin and Podcast Capture.
3 In the Author field, enter the author information for your workflow.
4 In the Description field, enter a brief description of your workflow.
5 Choose File > Save.

Chapter 2 Configuring Basic Workflow Information

Configuring the Import Stage

Use this chapter to learn how to specify the types of the
input sources to the workflow in the Import stage of Podcast
Composer.
In the Import stage, you select the input source of the content your workflow
processes. Podcast Composer provides three choices:
ÂÂ Single Source—A single QuickTime movie as input to the workflow. The QuickTime

movie can be a video recording, a screen recording, or an audio-only recording.
ÂÂ Dual Source—Two QuickTime movies (with video tracks) as input to the workflow.

For this choice, you cannot use a source with only an audio track. For example, a
video recording of a lecturer and a screen recording of the lecturer’s slides. The
video recordings can come from a remote camera and a local screen, two remote
cameras, or a local camera and local screen.

ÂÂ Montage—Documents as input to the workflow. These documents can be movies,

images, Keynote presentations, Pages documents, PDF files, Word files, and
PowerPoint files.

The output of the Import stage is a single movie, which is also the input movie to the
next stage, Edit.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

Configuring Single Source

If you want the workflow to create a podcast from only one QuickTime movie, select
and configure the Single Source option of the Import stage.

To configure the Single Source option of the Import stage:
1 In Podcast Composer, go to the Import Stage (choose Stages > Import or press
Command-2).
2 Double-click Single Source, or move your mouse over the Single Source icon and click
the Information button in the bottom-right corner of the icon.
If Single Source is selected, you can press Enter to display the Information dialog.
3 From the Single Source Type pop-up menu, choose one of the following options to
specify the type of recording Podcast Capture users can use with this workflow:
ÂÂ Any—The input movie can be a video recording, a screen recording, or an audio-

only recording.
ÂÂ Video Device Only—The input movie is a video recording.
ÂÂ Screen Recorder Only—The input movie is a screen recording.
ÂÂ Audio Only—The input movie is an audio-only recording.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

4 If you want the workflow to automatically detect changes in the input movie and use
this information to assign chapters in the generated podcast, select Automatic Chapter
Generation.
In the case of a screen recording, the workflow inserts a chapter marker in the video
when it detects a slide transition or when no changes occur in the video at a certain
moment. This is useful when doing a screen recording or for any video that includes
presentations.
The tool used by the workflow to add chapter markers detects stability in a movie by
comparing frames and after the tool finds a stable sequence, it considers it a chapter.
Then, when the sequence changes to another sequence, the tool consider that change
a transition.
Chapter markers are recommended for screen recordings, but not for video and audio
recordings. However, there are instances when adding these markers is useful, such
as when the source video is for a screen recording captured from the VGA or DVI
stream of a computer screen. Screen recording using Podcast Capture works only on a
computer running Mac OS X v10.5 or later.
5 Click Done.
6 Choose File > Save.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

Configuring Dual Source

If you want the workflow to create a podcast from two QuickTime movies, select
and configure the Dual Source option of the Import stage—for example, a screen
recording of a presentation and a video of the presenter.
Important: It is recommended that you provide the audio of the entire recording in
the video of the presenter and not within the screen recording.

To configure the Dual Source option of the Import stage:
1 In Podcast Composer, go to the Import Stage (choose Stages > Import or press
Command-2).
2 Double-click Dual Source, or move your mouse over the Dual Source icon and click the
Information button in the lower-right corner.
A dialog appears, displaying the settings that you can configure and a live preview box
that reflects your selections.
3 From the Dual Source Composition pop-up menu, choose one of the following
composition options to specify how the two input videos are going to be composed
to create the final movie:

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

ÂÂ Keynote Presentation—This picture-in-picture composition displays the screen

recording movie in full screen and hides the second movie. After 15 seconds (by
default) this composition minimizes the screen recording movie, moves it to the right,
and displays the second movie in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Finally, after 15
seconds (by default) the composition brings back the screen recording movie into full
screen and hides the second movie. This process repeats for the duration of the movie.
ÂÂ Overlay—This picture-in-picture composition displays the screen recording movie

in full screen and overlays the second movie in the bottom-right corner of the
screen. Then, in response to conditions in the screen recording (for example, a slide
doesn’t change for more than 20 seconds) the location of the overlay is switched, if
transition detection is enabled. If transition detection is not enabled, both movies
remain in their original positions.
ÂÂ Overlay with Fade—This composition is similar to the Overlay composition, but

instead of keeping the second movie in view all the time, this composition fades the
movie in and out at certain intervals (10 seconds by default).
ÂÂ Theater—This composition is similar to the Overlay composition, except that you

always have a full view of the screen recording movie. This option is ideal if you
don’t want any part of the screen recording to be covered by the other movie.
4 If you want Podcast Composer to automatically detect transitions in the screen
recording movie, select Automatic Transitions.
With this option enabled, Podcast Composer can detect slide transitions in the movie
and use this information to determine when to switch movies in the composition.
If you choose not to automatically detect transitions, there will be no transition.
The selected dual source composition remains static. Both movies remain in their
original positions.
5 If you want Podcast Composer to automatically detect changes in the input movies
and use this information to assign chapters in the generated podcast, select Automatic
Chapter Generation.
For example, you might want chapters in the podcast to mark each transition to a
new slide.
In the case of a screen recording, the workflow inserts a chapter marker in the video
when it detects a slide transition or when no changes occur in the video for a certain
moment. This is useful when doing a screen recording or for any video that includes
presentations.
The tool used by the workflow to add chapter markers detects stability in a movie by
comparing frames. When the tool finds a stable sequence, it considers it a chapter.
Then, when the sequence changes to another sequence, the tool consider that change
a transition.
6 Click Done.
7 Choose File > Save.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

Configuring Montage

If you want the workflow to create a podcast from movies, images, Keynote
presentations, Pages documents, PDF files, Word files, and PowerPoint files, select and
configure the Montage option of the Import stage.
Podcast Composer treats the pages of these documents as images. It combines all
pages of all documents into one slide presentation and generates a QuickTime video
of the presentation.
For example, if your input is a PDF document and a Word document, Podcast
Composer treats each page in these documents as an image. Then, Podcast Composer
assembles these images into one presentation and uses the settings you specify for
the Montage option to generate a QuickTime movie of a slide show of the images.
If a document isn’t in landscape mode, displaying a page in full for each slide results in
text that might be hard to read because the page can’t fill the entire width of the slide.
To solve this problem, Podcast Composer slices each document page in half. The upper
half image of a page appears on one slide and the bottom half image appears on the
following slide. Podcast Composer also adds a transition between the two slides to
provide a scrolling effect.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

The documents are ordered in the slide show by their alpha-numeric order based on
the file names of the source documents.

To configure the Montage option of the Import stage:
1 In Podcast Composer, go to the Import Stage (choose Stages > Import or press
Command-2).
2 Double-click Montage, or move your mouse over the Montage icon and click the
Information button in the lower-right corner.
A dialog appears, displaying the settings that you can configure and a live preview
video that reflects your selections.
3 In the Image Duration field, enter the number of seconds that each slide is displayed.
4 To specify a transition effect:
ÂÂ From the Transition Effect pop-up menu, choose an effect.
ÂÂ From the Direction pop-up menu, choose the direction of the effect (if applicable).
ÂÂ In the Duration field, specify the duration of the transition in seconds.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

5 If you want Podcast Composer to automatically detect changes in the input movies
and use this information to assign chapters in the generated podcast, select Automatic
Chapter Generation.
For example, you might want chapters in the podcast to mark each transition to a
new slide.
In the case of documents, every page is considered a chapter. The workflow uses
Quick Look to extract a title from these pages, if available, to assign a meaningful title
to chapters. If not available, Podcast Composer uses the filename.
6 Click Done.
7 Choose File > Save.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Import Stage

Configuring the Edit Stage

Use this chapter to configure the introduction, title, and exit
movies, and add a watermark to your podcast.
In the Edit stage of Podcast Composer, you can brand your podcast by adding any of
the following items:
ÂÂ Introduction movie—For example, you might want your podcasts to start with a

10-second movie that displays you organization’s logo.
ÂÂ Title movie—For example, you might want your podcast to have a title screen that

displays information extracted from the workflow’s metadata, such as title, author,
copyright, and description.
ÂÂ Watermark—For example, you might want the podcast to display the logo of your

organization as a watermark.
ÂÂ Exit movie—For example, you might want your podcasts to end with the same

movie, giving credit to your organization.

You can also add transitions between these items.

In the Edit stage, Podcast Composer places the branding items and the input movie in
a timeline from left to right, in the following default order:
ÂÂ Introduction movie (optional)
ÂÂ Transition (optional)
ÂÂ Title movie (optional)
ÂÂ Transition (optional)
ÂÂ Input movie
ÂÂ Transition (optional)
ÂÂ Exit movie (optional)

Chapter 4 Configuring the Edit Stage

In the Edit stage, you can drag movies and watermarks onto the corresponding
elements in the timeline and in dialog boxes.

In the Edit stage, you can also:
ÂÂ Use the Remove (–) button or press Backspace to remove an optional item. Use the

Add (+) button to add an item. To delete all optional items, press Command-Delete.
ÂÂ Skim through video clips in the timeline to preview video content.
ÂÂ Use the Preview button to preview the movie that will be generated by the Edit stage.

Audio: AAC-LC Music, Stereo, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz
ÂÂ Computer

Video: H.264 Video, 1920 x 1080, 10 Mbps, 30 fps
Audio: AAC, Stereo, 256 kbps, 44.1 kHz
ÂÂ iPod / iPhone

Video: H.264 Video, 640 x 480, 1.5 Mbps, 30 fps
Audio: AAC-LC Music, Stereo, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz
ÂÂ Mobile

Video: H.264 Video, 176 x 144, 56 kbps, 15 fps

Audio: AAC-LC Music, Mono, 24 kbps, 16 kHz

Podcast Composer lets you specify custom encoding formats that you create with the
Compressor application, which must be installed on the computer running Podcast
Composer and launched at least once before you can use it with Podcast Composer.
The Compressor application should also be installed on the Xgrid nodes used by
Podcast Producer to run the workflow.
Compressor is a post-production application. It ships with Final Cut Studio.
Note: Only a few default Compressor encodings are playable on an iPod or iPhone.
Before deploying a custom composition, be sure it fits the target device requirements.

This menu shows the custom encodings you created using Compressor.
5 To use the Apple Qmaster distributed processing system to speed up the encoding
process, click “Use remote Qmaster” enter the required information.
Apple Qmaster speeds up encoding of a movie at a time by dividing the total number
of frames in a job into smaller segments. Each of the processing computers then works
on a different segment. Because the nodes are working in parallel, the job is finished
sooner than it would be on a single computer.
Note: To produce a podcast as fast as possible, use Compressor (running on Xgrid) and
Qmaster (with segment and encoding setup). To produce many podcasts as fast as
possible, use default encoders or Compressor running on Xgrid.
For more information about the Apple Qmaster distributed processing system, see
Apple Qmaster 2 and Compressor 2 Distributed Processing Setup.

verify, deploy, and manage workflows.
Podcast Composer allows to upload and download workflows from Podcast Producer
server. Podcast Composer also allows you to verify workflows to ensure that they
contain all required information.

Viewing a Summary of the Workflow

The last stage in Podcast Composer provides a bird’s-eye view of your workflow by
listing the icons of the tasks you’ve defined in your workflow. Use this stage to make
sure your workflow is complete.

To see a summary of your workflow:
mm In Podcast Composer, go to the Summary stage (choose Stages > Summary or press
Command-7).

Saving a Workflow

To save a workflow in Podcast Composer, use the Save or Save As command from the
File menu. You can also use the Save button in the Summary stage.
When you save a workflow, Podcast Composer generates a workflow bundle that
contains all information and resources needed to process the workflow. This includes
images, movies, presets, templates, tools, and compositions used by the workflow.
The workflow bundle also includes workflow metadata, password information, and the
XML code that defines the workflow. The bundle also contains your credentials and the
Xgrid job template the defines the tasks to execute and which tasks can be executed
in parallel.
If the workflow has credentials, they are secured using a master password stored in
your keychain.
To save a new workflow:
1 Choose File > Save (Command-S) or press the Save button in the Summary stage.

Chapter 8 Managing Workflows

Verifying a Workflow

Before deploying a completed workflow, it is good practice to verify the workflow,
even though Podcast Composer verifies it before deploying it. By verifying the
workflow, you can deploy it at a moment’s notice.

To verify a workflow in Podcast Composer:
1 Choose File > Verify Workflow (Command-Y).
If the workflow isn’t configured correctly, a message appears describing the problem
with the first workflow element that has missing settings. Podcast Composer displays a
red arrow pointing to the element in question.
2 If an error message appears:
a Click OK to dismiss the dialog.
b Fix the problem.
c Verify the workflow again.
You might need to repeat these steps several times until the workflow passes
verification.
3 When the workflow is configured correctly and a message appears indicating
successful workflow configuration, click OK.

Chapter 8 Managing Workflows

Deploying a Workflow

When you finish building a workflow, you can use Podcast Composer to upload
the workflow bundle to a Podcast Producer server. Podcast Producer makes the
workflow available to Podcast Capture clients, as determined by the Podcast Producer
administrator.
Before you can deploy a workflow, make sure you have the necessary credentials to
access the Podcast Producer server.
To deploy a workflow to a Podcast Producer server:
1 In Podcast Composer, choose File > Deploy to Server (Command-U) or press the
Deploy button on the Summary stage.
If your workflow is incomplete, a dialog appears describing the problem with the first
incomplete setting in the workflow. Podcast Composer displays a red arrow pointing
to the element that has the incomplete setting.
2 If a dialog appears indicating that the workflow is incomplete, click the OK button to
dismiss the dialog, fix the problem, and then try to deploy the workflow again.
You might need to repeat the process several times until the workflow passes
verification.
3 In the Server field of the Deploy dialog, enter the address of the Podcast Producer
server or choose a server from the pop-up menu.
4 Click Deploy.
5 In the Name and Password fields, enter the administrator user name and password
assigned to you by the Podcast Producer administrator.
If a workflow with the same name or same unique identifier exists, Podcast Composer
prompts you whether to overwrite the workflow, install the workflow with a different
unique identifier, or cancel the operation.
What makes a workflow unique is a unique identifier (UUID). This means that you can
have multiple workflows with the same name, as long as the UUIDs are different.
6 Click Deploy again.
A dialog box appears indicating that the workflow was successfully uploaded to the
Podcast Producer server.
When you deploy a workflow, Podcast Producer changes the name of the workflow to
an automatically generated name. For example:
631CDEA3-AC0D-4DC8-BF7E-1A24DC306A02.pwf
Podcast Producer also adds checksum information to the workflow to ensure integrity.

Extending Podcast Composer Workflows

Podcast Composer helps you quickly generate self-contained workflows that are ready
for deployment. However, you might want to extend your workflow in a way that isn’t
possible in Podcast Composer.
To extend your workflow, you can configure it in the Publish stage of Podcast
Composer to send the output of the workflow to another workflow that you manually
created. The second workflow adds your custom tasks to the workflow for execution.
Alternatively, you can take the workflow generated by Podcast Composer and extend
it manually. To learn more about workflows and how to configure them manually, see
Podcast Producer Administration and Podcast Producer Workflow Tutorial.
WARNING: If you create a workflow using Podcast Composer and then manually
extend the workflow, you can’t edit it again in Podcast Composer.

Making Resources Available to Podcast Composer

Podcast Composer stores all the resources needed to build a workflow in its
application bundle. These resources are grouped in the /Applications/Server/Podcast
Composer/Contents/Resources/Materials/ folder.
These resources are:
ÂÂ Compositions
ÂÂ Images
ÂÂ Movies
ÂÂ Templates
ÂÂ Themes

When you create a new workflow in Podcast Composer, only resources inside the
application’s bundle are available to you. If you need to add your own resources (for
example, a watermark or introduction and exit movies), you have to manually add
them through drag and drop or by browsing.
However, you can make your own resources available to Podcast Composer by storing
them in one of the following folder:
ÂÂ /Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/—Resources stored in

this folder are available to all users.
ÂÂ ~/Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/—Resources stored in

this folder are available to one user.
By default, the ~/Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/ folder
contains an empty folder structure that mimics the folder structure of the the contents
of the /Applications/Server/Podcast Composer/Contents/Resources/Materials/ folder.
To store resources in the /Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/
folder, you must first create the same folder structure as that of the Materials folder.

Chapter 9 Advanced Podcast Composer Topics

Important: If two resources with the same name are in the ~/Library/Application
Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/ and /Library/Application Support/Podcast
Composer/Resources/ folders, Podcast Composer lists both.
To make your resources available to Podcast Composer:
1 Quit Podcast Composer.
2 Store the resources in the relevant folders.
For example, to make your introduction movies available to Podcast Composer, store
them in the ~/Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/Movies/
Introduction/ folder.
3 Launch Podcast Composer.
4 Verify that the resources are now available to Podcast Composer.
For example, to verify that your custom introduction movie is now available to Podcast
Composer, in the Edit stage, double-click the Introduction movie icon. Your movie
should be listed in the User Content section of the Introduction movie pop-up menu.

∏∏ Tip: When you highlight a resource in the User Content section of the pop-up menu, a
tooltip displays the path to the resource.

Chapter 9 Advanced Podcast Composer Topics

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.

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.
ÂÂ “Creating Quartz Composer Compositions” on page 70
ÂÂ “Selecting a Custom Quartz Composer Compositions” on page 72

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:
ÂÂ DualSource

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.
ÂÂ Titles

This folder contains two folders:
Bumper contains the bumper title composition bundles.
Overlay contains the overlay title composition bundles.

Chapter 9 Advanced Podcast Composer Topics

ÂÂ Transitions

This folder contains the transition bundles.
To customize Quartz Composer compositions or create new ones, you must install
Quartz Composer on your computer. Quartz Composer is included with the Mac OS X
developer tools.
To customize Quartz Composer compositions:
1 Copy the Quartz Composer composition you want to edit to the relevant folder inside
the following folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/Compositions/
2 Rename the Quartz Composer composition.
The name of the Podcast Producer Composition that wraps a Quartz Composition
must end with .pqz.
3 Locate the Info.plist file inside the Quartz Composer composition bundle (Contents/
Info.plist).
4 Open the Info.plist file.
5 Change the value of the CFBundleIdentifier key by replacing the name of the old
Quartz Composer composition with the new name.
The value of this key should match the name of the composition bundle. For
example, if you copy a dual source composition and name it C2.pqz, the value of the
CFBundleIdentifier key should be com.apple.PodcastProducer.composition.dualsource.C2.
You can also change the Threshold key in the Info.plist file for dual source
compositions. This key defines the length of time the video has to stay static before
a transition is triggered.
The default values of the Threshold key are:
ÂÂ Overlay composition: 20 seconds
ÂÂ Keynote composition: 15 seconds
ÂÂ Overlay with Fade composition: 10 seconds
ÂÂ Theater composition: 20 seconds

6 Change the values of the localized keys listed in Info.plist.
For example, to change the values of the English strings, open Contents/Resources/
en.lproj/InfoPlist.strings and change the Copyright, Name, and Description strings to
reflect the properties of the new composition.
7 Save Info.plist.

Chapter 9 Advanced Podcast Composer Topics

8 Locate the Quartz Composer file (ends with .qtz) which defines the composition.
For example, Contents/Resources/DualSource.qtz.
A .qtz file is a Quartz Composer composition.
9 Rename the file.
10 Open the Quartz Composer file using Quartz Composer, customize it as needed, and
save your changes.
11 Replace the Preview.mov file (Contents/Resources/Preview.mov) with a new preview
movie of the composition.

Selecting a Custom Quartz Composer Compositions
Custom Quartz Composer compositions appears in the User Content area of the
pop-up menu listing all available compositions.

Chapter 9 Advanced Podcast Composer Topics

Customizing the Email Template

Podcast Composer uses an email template to compose email notifications.
This template resides inside the Podcast Composer application bundle
(/Applications/Podcast Composer/Contents/Resources/Materials/Templates/Mail/).
You can customize the template in two ways:
ÂÂ Modify the images used by the default email template
ÂÂ Modify the template itself, which is not recommended unless you have the

requisite knowledge
If you add a custom email template, Podcast Composer displays the Mail Template
button in the Email dialog, which lets you select the mail template to use.

To customize the email template:
1 Locate the Podcast Composer email template bundle:
/Applications/Podcast Composer/Contents/Resources/Materials/Templates/Mail/Apple
Podcast.pmu
2 Copy the email bundle “Apple Podcast.pmu” to the following folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/Templates/Mail/
3 Rename the email bundle.

Chapter 9 Advanced Podcast Composer Topics

4 In the Contents/Info.plist file inside the bundle, change the value of the
CFBundleIdentifier key by replacing ApplePodcast with the new name.
This name need not be the same as the name of the .pmu bundle. No spaces are
allowed in the name. This name serves as a unique identifier of the bundle.
5 In the Contents/Resources/en.lproj/InfoPlist.strings, change the values of the
Copyright, Name, and Description Strings.
The Name string contains the name of the template that appears in Podcast Producer.
If you support other languages, modify the corresponding InfoPlist.strings file.
6 In the Contents/Resources/en.lproj/Localizable.strings file, change the strings that
appear in the email notifications.
If you support other languages, modify the corresponding Localizable.strings file.
7 To customize the images used in the email notifications, replace the contents of the
PodcastCapture.png and Spacer.png files (in /Resources/Images/) with your own content.
Do not change the names of these files because they are referenced in the
part.html.erb file.
8 To customize the actual email template, edit the HTML code in the following file:
~/Library/Application Support/Podcast Composer/Resources/Templates/Mail/Apple
Podcast.pmu/Contents/Resources/Templates/part.html.erb
CAUTION: When editing this file, take extra caution. If this file is not edited properly,
email notifications might fail.
