How to add a PODCAST using YouTube

Recorded your audio for your evaluation and no idea what to do next?

Well it's EASY!

Simply create a still graphic that simply states your year, what the task is, the words PODCAST EVALUATION and your names. This type of graphic can easily be made in photoshop as as Widescreen image or within Adobe Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro.


Then bring your audio into an edit package, add this still on the video layer and put the audio on the audio layer (you may need to extend the image so it encompasses all of your audio) and then export it as a piece of video and add it to YouTube the usual way. You can then add this to your blog using the "Insert a Video" tab.
Each of you need to add this to your blog!
EASY!
