Oh, podcasting, how I once hated you.
I remember using Garageband to make a podcast at Fredonia and I just really didn't not enjoy it. Mostly because I couldn't come up with anything good to talk about - I think I read an article from Wikipedia. This one was much better (yay for educational ideas) and I'm really happy I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro to use.
I've previously used iMovie to make a recital DVD in a previous tech course. The end product was pretty exciting to say that I did it and burn it to DVDs, however I just remember what a pain in the ass it was. Mainly because of how we recorded the audio, we had to match it with the video we took from the camera. That was just awful.
Despite my computer being newer and pretty decent, I don't think it had the RAM necessary to fully use Adobe to what it could be used. My preview video lagged behind so much compared to the audio, but once I exported it, it was fine. Except I didn't save it to the correct iTunes format that would keep it under 1gb. Now I'm waiting for it to export... again. I am not patient enough for this!
I really enjoyed this project, though.
Go Sabres!
