So you've got a great idea for a podcast or video blog entry, but every time you sit down and hit that "record" button your tongue betrays you and forces you to begin again...and again, and again. Wouldn't it be nice to have your Mac act as a teleprompter?Videocue 2 does just that and more. Enter the text of your podcast, and when you're ready to record, Videocue feeds it back to you as a teleprompter-style scroll. Other features include a live video preview, custom titles, core image transitions for video casts (like cube and page curl) and FTP support for many popular blogging tools, like LiveJournal, Movable Type, Typepad and Blogger. If video casting is not your thing, you can make use of the podcasting preference presets for simple podcast production. Videocue is scriptable via Applescript and has been written to take advantage of dual processor G4 and G5 Macs.
There are two versions, entry level and pro. The pro version is a little more feature rich, of course, and costs $89.99US, while the entry level version will set you back $39.99 for a shorter, but still very useful list of features. Both require Mac OS 10.3.5 or later, a Quartz Extreme capable video card and core image-supporting GPU if you want to add those slick transitions.
Videocue 2 may bring you one step closer to a more professionally produced podcast or videocast. And that's what we're all after, isn't it?

Cool. Does it allow movies to be hinted? Then I could stream my videocasts (aka vodcasts) instead of forcing my audience to download enormeous videofiles which they might not view all the way...
