ProfCast for Mac2.6.5

Abandonware!

I have used Profcast for a number of years now and found it to be really useful and solid. However, over the past few versions, my bluetooth headsets no longer work with the application. I have filed bug reports and crash logs with Humble Daisy but have not found the problem. The same headset works fine with the newest Keynote, but causes crashes in Profcast running the same presentation. Profcast is much nicer than the Keynote stream as the file sizes are much smaller -- alas I can't use Profcast until the bluetooth headset works properly.

Did this app just got obsoleted by Apple's own Keynote in iWork 08? Not Keynote itself can record audio and export it in a variety of ways;-)

This is a great piece of basic software for adding a voiceover to a very simple presentation. The nice thing about it is that it works in the background whilst you give the presentation directly with keynote, so that you can actually give the lecture and transparently have it create a file with the slide transitions synchronized to your lecture. It also includes a podcast manager for easy upload to sites like .mac etc. Having said that, video is an essential part of all my presentations (it is the actual data), and profcast doesn't capture any video (with the current version 2.1.3) so, frustratingly, profcast is nowhere near as useful as it could be. I can still create separate links on my website for the videos, but we've lost the voice synchronization that was the point of getting profcast in the first place. Hope they fix this soon.

We have been using this at our university for some time now and can highly recommend it. We are using it with radio mics to record and export lectures as podcasts. If you want to see how we set this up go to http://podcast.ecu.edu.au/diy.html

hmmm. The software may be easy to use, but the registration directions are a bit cryptic. I was provided with a serial number and a code to "attach to the beginning of your registration key" to use for registration, but the registration process asks for a registration key, not a serial number. : (

Could you provide me with pricing for 10 copies please

e-mail promo@macupdate.com They'll get everything taken care of for you.

I purchased this today and received a serial number on the checkout form but Profcast says its an invalid number

I've only been using Profcast for my most recent podcasts so I'm still discovering what it can do. However, provided I simplify my Keynote presentations which often include video then it's easy and quick to record the audio track for my presentation. I look forward to a later version - mine's 2.0.8 (102) - which can handle video. I like the way I can drag the podcast track into GarageBand so that I can add my intro and outro. I'm still comparing Profcast with building the graphics straight into GarageBand. As I've already said, my last experience with Profcast was quick and satisfying.
