Where does Keynote store the audio files in a presentation

I have slides with individual audio files. When I import or attach the file and then save the presentation, it changes the file name to .mov extension. Where does Keynote store those files? I would like to edit the saved Keynote version, but cannot locate the .mov file!

I'm not exactly sure of what you want to do, and I'm not sure if my answer is the most efficient, or even wholly correct, but here goes ...
When you save a KN presentation (a KN doc) which includes an audio (or movie) file, you can save it 2 (3?) ways: either without or with the file being copied into the document, or as a "package". In a test file I just made with 3 white slides (title, slide with song, second slide with song) the results:
without: 3.8 MB; with: 9.4 MB; package: 9.4 MB. The essential difference, aside from size, is that if saved without, if you play the KN on another machine which doesn't have those audio files on it, the audio won't be there. To make the KN truly portable, you must save with, or as a package. (I'm not too sure of the concept of package in KN. In PP, saving as a package means you end up with a folder, which contains the PP and the media files, each as separate entities. Saving a KN package yields not a folder but a file, which looks to me identical to the result achieved by simply saving with, and seems to behave identically, as well.) The audio file you used will in any case remain where it was before you used it, but, if the KN doc is saved with, or as a package, a copy of it will go into the KN doc.
But then, what do you mean by "edit"? What do you want to edit, the KN presentation, or the audio file within it? If the former, I don't understand where the problem might be. If the latter: using the QT inspector within KN, you can change the length of the audio file (where in the song it starts and stops), whether to start it on click, or automatically after transition, or to loop it. If you wanted to do some other, more exotic audio editing, like reverbs or other effects, I'd do that on (a copy of) the original audio file (found wherever it was before) with another app (GarageBand, for instance), and then I'd replace the first, non-edited, version of the audio file in the KN doc with that.
Have I missed something?

  • Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

    Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

    Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
    However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
    Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.

  • Where should I store the rendered files?

    (My Color projects are in "Documents")
    Where should I store the rendered files?
    On my external HD with my FCP media? Or on my Hard Disk is fine ?
    Can I calculate that 1 Go of DV NTSC = 1 Go of rendered file in 10 bits?
    Many thanks

    this came up as a topic at a recent FCPUG seminar.
    Since the dawn of time, it is recommended practice to keep your media off the application drive.
    The more disks you have spinning, the better the chance that you will get the data throughput rates that will support the demands of your media. Whether that's a RAID or a JBOD, its up to you how you value your time and assets.
    I keep things as 'external' as possible, mostly because clients are anxious to get the material back, but I'd have to keep moving stuff around just to maintain the space. And I still have to get merciless with all the temporary FCP render stuff.

  • Where does iWeb save the site file?

    Sorry guys but this is a lazy man's question.
    Where does iWeb save the site file when you click the save button?
    Is it saved as a seperate file or is it hidden within the program?
    I not talking about publishing it.

    Yes there is...I'll refer you to Apple's own technote...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303670
    But you probably don't want to keep it on your iDisk. The file could be huge and the back and forth network bandwidth involved may make iWeb opens and saves unbearably slow. I've always recommended one of those cheap USB flash drives to keep a potable Domain file on.
    Has this been "helpful" to you?

  • Where does portal store the username after a successful log in?

    We have an intranet application, we use the portal security and login screen, etc.
    I have written a stored procedure which requires two parameters. One of them we already have at the time we need to call it. The other is username. All we need
    to know is how to get the username at the time we must call it. Where does portal store the username after a successful log in for the particular session this user is logged into?
    I tried using the following syntax,
    When i log in using PORTAL30 then it returns,
    SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
    2 from dual;
    PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
    PORTAL30
    But when i logged in using some other user i.e.rtemps it returns,
    SQL> connect rtemps@mpdb
    Enter password: *******
    Connected.
    SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
    2 from dual;
    PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
    PUBLIC
    Why does it return PUBLIC, instead of RTEMPS?
    rtemps is a Database user though.
    How do i test this script for portal users?
    Also my application is a multiple user application.
    So at a given time, there could be more than user logged in, also there could be more than one sessions of the same user logged in.
    what happens in that scenario?
    Thank you,
    Kalpa

    still not working..
    The first page my user goes to log in, is
    http://159.225.218.59/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.draw_custom_login_page
    when i look at this stored procedure, it makes a call to the following procedure,
    PORTAL30_SSO.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
    and passes a parameter ssousername
    From here my user is directed to the home page, which is built using the portlets, the URL for the same is,
    http://159.225.218.59/servlet/page?_pageid=255,257&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
    This is where i want to pass the ssousername, so as to keep track of what the user is doing.
    Question 1: where does this page physically reside, or how do i add the parameter ssousername to this page?
    I have 1 HTML PORTLET, on this page, and the code behind this looks like,
    <!-- PL/SQL Language Definition Section -->
    <%@ page language="PL/SQL" %>
    <%@ plsql parameter="i_pagenum" default="1" %>
    <body>
    <table width = 760>
    <tr>
    Link 1
    </tr>
    </table>
    In the above code, when they click on link 1, it calls a database stored procedure(rpt_param_prov), which is also a psp page.
    In here, i want to pass the parameter ssousername.
    e.g. the link should look like,
    Link 1
    Again this is a HTML portlet, so i don't think it will recognize the psp tags.. so that probably might be another issue.
    But this is what i want to accomplish. So i can use the user who logged in, for my audit trail application, which will be inserting a record in a database table, everytime, the user runs reports that are being clicked.. like link 1 in above example.
    I don't understand why this is so hard.
    When i tried
    portal30.WWCTX_API.get_user, it still brings back PUBLIC or PORTAL30_PUBLIC.

  • Where does iMovie store the individual clips?

    I know where iMovie stores the project file (which has all the clips inside it), but where does it put each individual clip itself? I want to edit them using another program, but the only way I can do it for now is by opening the project file and exporting each individual clip.

    Hi Steve
    My bet is that it will crach Your project.
    I would if satisfied with my editing. Copy back to Camera to TWO new miniDV
    tapes. Carefully secure that there is a great overlap - say several minutes.
    (Why - errors on miniDV tapes are more common in beginning and end of tape)
    Then when ready - delet the movie project and - re-import tapes into a
    new project.
    ALL editings will be un-undo-able. So this is a nerve shattering experience.
    Alt. Get a big external hard disk !!! Mac Extended - formatted !!!
    Mac Exchange / DOS / UNIX formatted WILL NOT do.
    And copy the movie project to this for further editings or just to store it.
    (I don't use "Empty - trash" in iMovie even if several in this forum says that's
    not so destructive as in previous versions of iMovie)

  • Where does flash stores the local shared object data

    HI All,
    I'm using shared object to store local data:
                    var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(storageName);

                    so.data.userName = userName;

    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Live Docs_Book_Parts&file=lsos_087_3.html
    The term local refers to the location of the shared object.
    In this case, Adobe Flash Player stores the SharedObject file locally
    in the client's home directory.
    When you create a shared object, Flash Player creates a new
    directory for the application and domain. It also creates an empty
    *.sol file that stores the SharedObject data. The default location of
    this file is a subdirectory of the user's home directory. On Windows,
    this directory is the following by default:
    c:/Documents and Settings/username/user_domain/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/web_domain/path_to_application/ApplicationName/objectName.sol
    If you request an application named MyApp.mxml on the local host, in the Flex context, and within a subdirectory named /sos, Flash Player stores the *.sol file in the following location on Windows:
    c:/Documents and Settings/username/user_domain/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/#localhost/flex/sos/MyApp.mxml.swf/objectName.sol

  • [ID CS3 (Win)] - where does InDesign store my PDF file name?

    Have you run into this before? You have a document (let's call it "MyDoc.indd") and you want to use it as the basis for a new document ("NewDoc.indd").
    So you open MyDoc, Save As "NewDoc". You now work on NewDoc.
    Some time later, you go to Export NewDoc as a PDF and it remembers MyDoc and recommends that as the file name for the PDF. If you change the file name for your PDF and then re-save your INDD file, it will now remember the new name as your default PDF name.
    But what if you want to change this beforehand, eg: you're not ready to Export the file, but you want to make sure that when you do (or someone else does) they use the correct file name?
    -- Tom
    PS: I've noticed that this behaviour is different on a Mac and on a PC.

    Sure I get that - but the question was "where is this information stored"? If I'm not ready to save my PDF yet, is there anywhere (like a Document Properties panel) that I can go to edit this information.
    The use case is - you're preparing a file draft, but it will be finalized and printed by others. You would like to have some control over file naming conventions, so you want to make sure that when they go to save the PDF, the correct name is pre-populated.
    Your technique will surely work (it's the one we've been using as well), but I don't want to save a "dummy" PDF just because I want to change the stored filename. This information _must_ be available somewhere else, no?
    Thanks for your participation!

  • Where does Mail store its email files

    hi there, I'm having a bit of an email crisis.
    background: I have a MacBook Pro circa 2012 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with over 28 or 29GB of free space.
    For email, I have a primary address through Cox Cable and some secondary Cox Cable email accounts for junk mail and the like.  Recently, there was some recurring difficulty retrieving the Cox emails.  The Mail program would open up and look for the Cox Cable email accounts and variously fail to connect with any of them.  The Mail program would tell me that it was unable to access the account and suggest I enter my password.
    I decided to delete the accounts and set them up again to see if doing so would grab the most current SMTP settings, etc..  Doing so, I may have accidentally deleted from local storage (on my computer) my old archive of sent and received mail (going back to 2006).  More on that later.
    When establishing the settings in Mail for the cox accounts, I left the feature on where Mail would leave the the emails on my Cox email server (which only uses 7% of its space currently).  This seemed to correct the retrieval errors I was getting before.  Something else strange happened.  Sometimes when I would send mail, it would send, I'd hear the whooshing sound, but it would not store a copy of it in my sent email folder.  In most cases, the recipients confirmed receipt.  This would only happen with some sent mail.  Others would be deposited into the Sent mail folder in Mail as usual.
    Questions:
    (1) Where does OS X store the Mail email files?  I can't find any folder with an xbox file or any other file.
    (2) How can I find out if my missing email archive doesn't exist somewhere else on my laptop right now and my Mail program can't find it.
    (2) If I well and truly deleted the archive not only from my Mail program but also from my laptop, am I able to import my email archive from my external hard drive where it was backed up?  I'd like to leave the archive in an archive folder in Mail so that I can see it and search it when necessary without having to plug in my external drive and also so there are two copies of this email archive.
    Any advice you can provide will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    hi.  update.  I found the hidden Library folder where the mbox email files are located as follows:
    click on your finder to open it
    click the GO command from the drop down menu and before clicking again press and hold down the option key.  that reveals in the Go drop-down menu the hidden Library folder.  Click on that Library folder to open it.
    from there, look for a sub folder called Mail
    click on that and see a sub folder called V2. 
    click on that and you'll find subfolders for the email accounts you've established, inside which are the .mbox files that represent those email databases. 
    however, once inside there, I found no .mbox files for the old archived files and so I think that I goofed and well and truly deleted the old POP emails when switching from POP to IMAP about two weeks back.
    the good news is that I was backing up somewhat regularly via Time Machine to an external drive.  So I recovered the old POP emails into an separate INBOX and SENT MAIL archive that now sits again on my Mac in my Mail program, somewhere below the active mail folders I use daily. 
    The POP email protocol was lately prone to these 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages and that's what prompted me to try to change my settings.  When I did, I must have found that Cox email now supports IMAP for residential customers and made the switch from POP to IMAP, inadvertently deleting the old POP email.
    The IMAP protocol resolved the 'unable to access' and 'please enter your password' messages that Mail used to give me under the POP protocol.  But left the problem of certain sent mails not being stored immediately in my local sent mail folder on my Mac.
    unresolved questions are:
    i generally liked switching from POP to IMAP because my email on my phone and laptop are more apt to be in sync and coordinated, and it resolved the connection/password problems I had with POP.  I'd like to keep on IMAP.  I have experienced the occasional missing sent mail.  So far as I can tell, when sending the email from my laptop, I hear the swoosh of sent mail and the recipients do receive it but a copy if not always delivered into my local sent mail folder.  a copy of it is stored on the Cox email server, however. 
    any workaround that issue?  It leaves me wondering sometimes whether the mail was sent or received and I also need a record of all email sent on my laptop for future reference. 
    is it possible this missing sent mail only happens when there are attachments?  it doesn't happen every time.  I've noticed it has happened when I've sent emails with attachments.
    any help you can give is appreciated!
