Playing quicktime movies in Keynote 3

Hi, Is it possible to place two or more quicktime videos on a single keynote slide so they show without all simultaneously playing? I want to be able to click any of the videos so they play independently. I have tried various workarounds without success, but am getting very frustrated.
Comments greatly appreciated.
cheers,

The problem is, there's no build called "Play media" so, you have to do a work around. First you use any build (I usually use the appear build) on each movie, and check your timings. You won't see the movies before they play, but they'll play in the order you want. Then you have to basically take a screen shot of the movie, or open them in QT and copy one frame that you want to represent the movie. Paste that frame on the slide and stick it right where each movie is sitting, then send it behind the movie. You'll get something that LOOKS like a slide full of movies, and each time you click the mouse, each movie will come in on top of the picture of the movie and play.

Trouble playing QuickTime movie from Keynote

Hi everyone,
Keynote '09 5.1.1 (1034), QuickTime Player 10.0 (131)
I've got a Keynote presentation that I'd like to have as a movie so it can be shared. I want to utilize the "manual advance" feature that pauses the video when specified and waits for a click to advance the slideshow. But when I export (Share>Export>Quicktime), I have trouble getting the movie to play right.
Without a playback control panel (doesn't appear--and isn't supposed to I gather), after playing around with the magic mouse and keyboard, here's what I get (I can't find an explanation of keyboard shortcuts):
Just clicking the mouse plays the first slide, then stops the show at the end of that first slide. Clicking again does the same thing. It doesn't advance. The slideshow is designed to go automatically to the next slide and does so in Keynote.
Scrolling up can forward the video to the next slide or more, but then clicking just plays the first slide again and stops. Scrolling down goes backward in the same way.
Scrolling left or right while the video is playing lowers or raises the volume.
Hitting the up arrow key plays it backwards, sound and all. Hitting the down arrow plays it forwards.
Only after playing it (not just scrolling it--playing it) backwards--then forwards--will it advance to the next slide and work as I hoped it would, pausing at the right places where a click is needed to advance the movie. I found this by accident, but it works repeatedly, even after closing out QuickTime and opening the movie again.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to Keynote and don't use QuickTIme for much other than previewing videos. I'm hoping to share this video with many other people who aren't very computer literate, and making many similar videos. I want the other viewers to be able to play the video and just click once in a while (when the video asks them to.)
I would very much appreciate any help.

Welcome to the discussions, Christopher.
Over in the Keynote discussions we've been going over this for quite awhile. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution to your problem. I've even gone as far as attempting to preload the chapter track thinking that might solve the problem, but it doesn't work.
One thing I don't think I've tried is setting up the first slide to advance "on-click" so that there's no animation before the first transition. The problem, of course, is that there's no "loading" animation to let it know when it's ready to go.
Another thing I haven't tried but that might work is to create the movie so that it doesn't autoplay, and then, using the embed commands, set autoplay to be the full length of the movie (so that it will automatically play, but only after it's completely downloaded). Look here for the autoplay embed commands.

Help playing my quicktime movie on keynote

I have a movie on quicktime. It plays perfectly fine when played through quicktime.
I am making a presentation using keynote. I want to make one of my slides that movie. So I do exactly as I have been reading. Ok, so the movie is now on the slide, but all I see are the little white squares around it, no actual movie. Those same white squares that you get when your trying to move or select an item for edit. Anyways, I say well maybe it will play when I play my slide show. Still no movie. Sometimes I get a blank page when I get to the slide with the movie. Other times I get the actual control panal to play the movie, but yet not movie is playing regardless of how many times I rewind, and play etc.
Can keynote play quicktime movies? If so what is the format they have to be in. The format of the movie in quick time is
Apple Animation, 983 x 552, Millions+
Please help, I really need this movie for my presentation.

In the Inspector section find the Transitions controls. For that slide, select the delay time for the same length of time of the clip.
Not sure if that will solve it but it's worth a try. That's how I got my QT clip to play.
Good luck.

How can I export a graphic slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote?

I export a title slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote to my desktop and it plays fine with audio. Once I insert or drag the clip into iWeb the resolution is degraded and very choppy. The resolution is 320x200 and I'm exporting from Keynote as a custom size (320x200) Frame rate: 29.97 Key Frames: Automatic Key Reordering is checked Data Rate: Automatic Quality: Multi pass. I need some help.

how large is the video and if you publish - does it still have the same horrible quality?
you might considering exporting as flash (loads faster) and integrating that into your iweb site using post-editing: http://karreth.com/index.php/articles/iframes-iweb/

The maximum duration available for an automatic presentation in Keynote is 600 seconds.

How to play quicktime .mov files on iphone

I would like to be able to play quicktime (.mov) files on my iphone4s but I get a message that my file cannot be played on this iphone.
I created the file in keynote, exported it to a quicktime movie with the manual advance option.
My goal is to be able to use iphone to connect to a projector with a iphone to vga adapter and thus project my presentations from the iphone.
But I cannot import import it using itunes to the iphone.
Wondering if there is an app that plays quick time movies or some other option.
The reason I cannot export from keynote is that it does not give the option for manual advance.
It only provides a fixed time option.
Appreciate any help
thank you

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component. It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

Quicktime 7.2 will not play Quicktime Movies

Ironic isn't it.
I recently purchased Sony's Movie Studio and it required a new(er) verson of Quicktime to import QT movies. So I download 7.2 ( i had 7.01, if I remember correctly) and installed it. I can now import QT into Vegas for editing. Fine. Great.
BUT, and here is the ironic part, Quicktime will no longer play Quicktime movies! Not .mov, .mp4, nothing. Zip. Zilch. But it will play some old avi files for some reason. All I get is the audio and flashing striped colors. Until 7.2 I could load any .mov, avi, mp4 file and edit them without a problem. (I forgot to mention, I had QT Pro) I was also using Any Video Converter to convert old home movies I'd burned to dvd to the mp4 format, and Quicktime worked flawlessly to open them too. Up until this "update" I've been very happy with the performance of Quicktime.
Now, nothing but frustation and the online Support hasn't pointed to a solution. And yes, I have updated my Dell PC running XP to all the latest service packs.
Any ideas? If I delete 7.2 I could probably re-install a version of 6 Pro that always worked, but then Vegas Movie Studio won't work. Kind of a Catch-22. Thank you for any help.

It has helped some who have had this problem. Try dragging the QuickTime webplugin folder to the desktop in case you need to put it back and see.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Ipad play quicktime movies?

I am wondering if the ipad is capable of playing quicktime movies? I often make screen movies using quicktime for my job. It would be helpful to be able to hook up the ipad to a projector and play these movies. Thanks for any feedback.

Having issues as well. My case, I took a longish (11 minute) HD video w/ my Canon T1i camera. iPhoto pulled the file off my camera as a 2.1GB .MOV file encoded as H.264 30fps 26.75Mb/s 1280x720 video.
For the life of me I cannot get that movie onto my iPad. I finally made a special playlist just for my videos and while the video appears in that playlist in iPhoto, it doesn't show up on the iPad, even though the playlist and (what initially looks like) all the other videos do.
I'm going to go test that I'm able to get any video from my camera through that workflow onto the camera, as I've got a tiny suspicion it's the 2.1GB file size (despite the fact the iPad has plenty of space).

QuickTime movies in Keynote on MacBook Pro do not play

On my iMac G5, all QuickTime movies play just fine in Keynote. When I transfer Keynote presentations to my MacBook Pro, many of the movies are virtually transparent. Those same movies play just fine in QuickTime on the Intel laptop. Any sugggestions?

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Ok, open the movie in the QuickTime Player. With QuickTime as the frontmost application, hold down command and type I. What does it say is the "format" for this video?
I'm thinking it's using a codec that hasn't been made available for Intel (though once you know the format, you'll know where to look to see if it IS available).

QuickTime movie in Keynote 3 want to export Keynote as QT

So I have a Keynote presentation. It is mostly images but 3 slides play small Quicktime movies. Interviews I did on DV, converted to 320x240 using Sorenson V3 and IMA 4:1 audio. In Keynote 3.0, they now have controls. They play great.
But I need to export the presentation so others can use it without keynote.
The only option seems to be exporting it as as a Quicktime movie.
Actually, with trial and error, the Quicktimes in the Quicktime play great. BUT are missing controls!
So anyone viewing the interactive Quicktime from a CD-R has no choice but to watch each clip. Longest is 17 minutes so a pause or stop is an option that is needed.
Does anyone know how to get those QT controls (or at least stop or pause) into the movie inside the exported interactive Quicktime from Keynote?
Is there a 3rd party solution? I'm desperate.
Alternatively, if anyone knows how to do same but as a Flash file, that would be fine too.
This was problem in Keynote 2.0 as well. My presentation size is big enough.
Considering the convergence of audio and video all over Apple product line, I just don't get why this was not considered for the 3.0 update. I want to export my lectures for students to self run. I'm probably not the only university professor who shows video and would like Apple to deal with this ASAP.

If you have Qt Pro, you can open the file and turn on a controller, then resave the file.

Saving Quicktime Movies in Keynote

I'm using a 1GZ Power PC G4, with 768 ram, Keynote 3.02. When I insert a Quicktime movie into a Keynote theme (however short), it plays fine, but when I try to save it, Keynote crashes -- everytime! Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

You can have two movies playing simultaneously, either side by side or one on top of the other.

Interactive Quicktime Movie Events (Keynote)

I'm developing an AIR app that lets the user play a quicktime .mov from their computer. This movie will most likely come from an exported Keynote presentation.
In case you're not familiar, Keynote lets you export a quicktime movie that is interactive... it will automatically pause after each transition and you can click anywhere on the movie to make it continue to the next slide.
In the flash VideoDisplay component it plays right through these "pause points" instead of stopping automatically.
Is there any way to have quicktime movies automatically pause at those points? Or is there a way to at least get a callback when they're supposed to happen so that I can pause it manually with actionscript?
I know it sounds far fetched, but this would basically let you play a keynote presentation inside flash.
