  • Welcome to Podcast Capture
    This is on the client, a MacBook Pro. I easily made a connection to the Podcaster Producer 2 component on the Snow Leopard Server.
  • Podcast Workflow
    This is a frame from my first podcast video. The camera is too close, but the point is that, with the workflow automation, I was able to produce the entire podcast in less than 10 minutes—from filming to presentation on other systems.
  • Browsing Through Podcast Producer
    Here you see a sample of the podcasts I was able to quickly produce using Snow Leopard Server and my Mac client.
  • Podcast Information
    The information entered in this screen is used in the Podcast Producer workflow to automatically add credits to the podcast.
  • Podcast Submitted
    Once submitted to the Podcast Producer 2 server, podcast material is automatically produced and distributed.
  • Snow Leopard Server Services
    Here you see all the services running on my Snow Leopard Server-based system, including Podcast Producer. You can also see the other services that must be connected for the process to work.
  • Designing a Workflow
    The workflow creation process has been streamlined in Snow Leopard Server. Here you see the first step.
  • Wiki Server Configuration
    Shown is the creation of a wiki template on Snow Leopard Server.
  • Server Preferences
