Adding Artwork to the Media Browser 407
Working with Artwork and Markers
The next step in building this podcast is to enhance it with artwork, photos, and
markers. In this way, you can create a visual identity for the show and add pho-
tos of the band that will help the viewer better experience the show’s subject.
Once you’ve added episode artwork to a podcast, the artwork appears when
you play the podcast episode in iTunes (or on an iPod) and in iWeb.
Artwork added to the podcast track creates a marker region the same length as
the artwork in the podcast track. Marker regions are used in podcasts to liter-
ally mark a specific region in the Timeline to include artwork, a chapter title,
or a URL. When you publish your podcast as an AAC file, these marker regions
can include information for that region in the project.
You can edit, move, and resize marker regions at any time while creating
your podcast project. You can also add and edit chapter title markers and
URL markers in the podcast track. In addition to the artwork used as marker
regions in the podcast track, you can designate the episode artwork in the edi-
tor. The episode artwork appears in the Podcast Preview pane whenever there
is no artwork for the current marker region.
Adding Artwork to the Media Browser
The artwork you’ll be using for this project is in a folder called Podcast Photos
inside the Lesson_14 folder. You can add artwork folders to the Media Browser
by dragging the folders from the Finder into the Photos pane of the Media
Browser.
1 In the Media Browser, click the Photos button to show the Photos pane.
2 In the Dock, click the Finder icon to open the Finder window. Locate the
iLife_09_Book_Files folder on your computer’s desktop.
3 In the Finder, open the Lesson_14 folder and click to select the Podcast
Photos folder. Drag them to the Photos pane of the Media Browser. Return
to GarageBand.
