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.

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.

Fantastic piece of software, well done! Now I can distribute my presentation to colleagues who weren't present for my talk and they can still have the same audio-visual experience. Really useful!

ProfCast is amazing! The software saves me HUGE amounts of time by eliminating the need to manually create enhanced podcasts! This tool is simple to use, works reliably and does exactly what they advertise! When I have had questions about ProfCast or about enhanced podcasting, (and even about my school's server), the support team has been fantastic! The courteous and prompt response was surprising given my experience with other developers. This is just an amazing piece of software!

First of all: The idea is brilliant and I've been looking for such a software for a while. I downloaded the test version and run tests with PowerPoint 2004. The result was a video with a resolution of 160 x 160 pixels and not 320 x 240 as I had expected. Is this a limitation of the test mode?
