    I placed markers in FCP audio file and output to M4v (output quicktime converter to ipod). How do I get the markers to show up in an enhanced podcast? Do I need other software? Do I output it different?

    You can convert FCP markers to podcast markers in Soundtrack Pro.

    Can’t give you a step by step, as I am not in front of a system, but I have done it and it works. Check Soundtrack Pro Help, I think it’s in there. It’s not just for audio podcasts… It work with video podcasts too.

    John is correct.

    Display the Podcast Track in STP (upper right popup menu located in the multi-track workspace). When you select this track the Podcast Marker input data fields appear in the Details tab. Easiest way to add a marker to the selected track is … ⇧ ⌘ M …, that’s shift+command+M.

    Remember there is a difference between an Enhanced Podcast, which is an audio file (AAC, MPEG-4 wrapper, .m4a file extension) and a QT movie with chapter markers. The audio .m4a supports reference stills and hyperlinks. If you are exporting a video file, the “Podcast Markers” appear a standard Chapter Markers.

    Make sure you export properly – File Type: AAC/Podcast File. You can set the format to include the audio only “enhanced images” or a video track.
