10.0.1 imports of .mov fail , keynote export to movie

I have run into a problem importing a .mov file in imovie 10.0.1
The files are ok I started imovie 9 and the import fine, but no such luck with 10.0.1
I get the no importable files dialog.
The file is openable in quicktime and I have tried alsorts of conversions but imports still fail
quicktime movie inspector shows
Video H.264, 960 x 540
FPS 0,4
This is a slide show export from keynote and or powerpoint.
help
Just checked a .mov from a canon camera does import ok.

Yes .mov files can use a variety of codecs some of which are not importable into iMovie 10. You will need to convert them into something which is accepted. If you open them in Quicktime 10 you should be able to save them in another format or you can use a third party app like the free Media Converter (http://media-converter.sourceforge.net).

Keynote exported QT movie only 1 fps???

When I export a Quicktime from Keynote it produces a really nice looking ProRes (LT). Looks just fine. Bring it into FCP, and there is something drastically wrong. It seems to lock onto one of the slides, and then plays that slide to the end of the movie, even though the audio moves forward as it should.
I looked at the formatting and discovered that the Quicktimes coming out of Keynote all have a frame rate of 1 fps. Which is what must be causing the problem.
And which is also very weird, because it plays like a normal movie when I open it in Quicktime, but then has all sorts of problems in FCP.
Any suggestions?
Ben

As my brain is somewhat fried, can you suggest how to convert the video (settings), and what program to use.
If you already have QT Pro authorized or MPEG Streamclip installed, I would use either as the easiest method of conversion. If you have neither, then you can always use GarageBand -- just takes a bit longer to import/export your clip. A better question at this point might be the question of which format to convert to here. DV, of course will work with any version of iMovie. AIC, M-JPEG, MPEG-4, H.264, etc will all work iMovie '08. If file size and storage is not a problem, any of these will do and I would recommend not limiting the video data rate to retain as much quality as possible. If files size/storage is a problem, would probably go with H.264/AAC conversion and only limit the video data rate as much as is needed to "fit" the file in space you have available. DV will likely create the largest files for a given source file while data rate limited H.264/AAC will produce the smallest files with best quality for limited data rate allowances.

Movie within Keynote, export to quicktime transition delay

I have a very strange problem I can't seem to figure out. I create a Keynote presentation every week that is used to show our announcements at our church. I create the keynote with automatic advancement, then export it to a quicktime movie (which is then put on an iPod and used to project at church). It wall works very well and I have used this for several years. Here's my problem:
I inserted a movie into a slide in Keynote, the movie is about 30 seconds long and I am playing about 10 to 15 seconds of it. I then have the slide transition to another slide. When I play the keynote it all seems to work great - however, when I export the movie via quicktime, it plays through the movie then hangs for 10 seconds or so at the end of the movie before making the transition to the next slide. It is apparently "stuck" for that time. I have played around with every setting I could find to see if I could get it to work right but nothing changed this behavior. I tried shortening the movie length under the quicktime tab in the inspector, changing the delay in the slide tab in the inspector, nothing.
To make matters worse I apparently can't just cut out the 10 seconds of offending material via quicktime pro as it somehow only registers by the slide number and I cannot get the index arrow to pick a portion of the movie to splice.
Its all very frustrating - I've spent about 3 hours on this silly thing this evening telling myself "it can't be this hard." But either I am really missing the obvious, or there is a bug in Keynote, or this just can't be done.
BTW I am using Keynote 09.
Any help would be very appreciated. For tonight I've given up on the movie and just cut that part out.
thanks.

You've found one of my frustrations...here's the way it works:
In keynote, you MUST set the slide delay for a movie to stay on screen, and you can see that you're able to transition before the movie is done by cutting the delay shorter than the movie. The draw back is, if you want the whole movie to play, you MUST set the delay to at least the same length as the movie.
When exporting to QT, this doesn't work. The export forces the movie to play in its entirety. If you weren't trying to cut the movie short, you'd still have to remove your auto advance delay so that it transitions after the movie plays. This is why you're seeing that long hold, it's counting your movie length AND the delay time you added in Keynote.
The only thing I can suggest is removing that transition delay and living with the movie playing through to the end. You could always trim the movie in QT Pro and use that in Keynote I suppose.

QT Pro batch import of image sequences aand export of MOVs

I have multiple folders with sequentially numbered jpegs and I am trying to find some way to batch process (with QT Pro or Automator or some combination of any program, without paying a fortune) each folder to a MOV. For example, parent folder with 3 subfolders - is there a way to point QT Pro at the parent folder and have it create MOVs with specific export settings for each respective folder? I do know how to Open Image Sequence, choose frame rate, choose settings, export to MOV but I'd like to find a way to do it without having to choose the first image of each folder. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Check the frame rate in the Interpret Footage dialog box.

Embedded MPEG-1 Muxed movie in Keynote Export

Hi!
I have a presentation to do and there is a QuickTime file I have to include, and it works fine as a QuickTime embedded file in a Keynote presentation. However, I have to make it into a exported QuickTime Presentation.
Unfortunately the mov file is a MPEG-1 Muxed file and it doesn't export the sound when I export the Keynote to QuickTime. Plus it has a green line down the right side.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance

You want to get a program called MPEG Streamclip and convert the MPEG to a normal QuickTime format.

CS6 won't export movies with previously exported Quicktime .mov files in them?

On several different projects now, I've made videos which include previously exported CS6 Quicktime .mov clips in the timeline. When I go to export these new projects, Premiere will start compiling and exporting for a few moments, but then will stop and freeze up the program or even my Mac, or it will show an error message. I've tried changing my settings and everything. The only way my projects will export correctly is if they contain NO old .mov files. I'm trying to do a demo reel, so I kind of need those old files. They aren't even old, I exported them out of CS6 a few months ago. Why isn't Premiere exporting correctly and is there any way to fix this?

There are files, and there are files... the important thing is what is inside the file?
MOV (or AVI or MP4 or ???) is a wrapper that may contain many things... not all of those things edit well
Report back with the details of your file, use the program below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

You should also compare EXACTLY what is inside a file that works -vs- a file that doesn't work

Quicktime Export - Keynote, Streaming, and Movie Controller Settings

A few questions regarding qt export from keynote -
Is there a way to save quicktime export settings in keynote? Right now I'm exporting multiple files to custom sizes, and have to manually enter the size every time.
I'm exporting for streaming as well, and have to select it in the qt settings window every time.
also, is there a way to choose to show the movie controller when exporting a movie? Now I have to open the movie after export in qt pro and choose window>movie properties>presenation>movie controller type>movie controller (it defaults to none when exporting from keynote).
also, oddly enough, is seems that saving the movie after choosing to show the movie controller removes the streaming setting (movies wait to load completely before playing).
Thanks!

No answer to the main question...but the final question--
When you edit a QuickTime movie, even if the edit is merely to change the settings on the controller, it breaks fast-start. You should be able to fix it by doing a "Save As..." instead of saving the movie in place. But that doesn't seem to work in all versions of QuickTime; I have noticed that certain versions of QT-7 seem to break fast-start altogether.
There is an app out there called "Lillipot" that will fix this for you. Drag your movie to Lillipot, it does whatever magical conversion is necessary to make fast-start work again.

Importing WMV movies into Keynote?

I'm very new to Keynote and actually movies. I'd like to create a presentation that uses slides, QT Movies and specifically (wmv movies). How can I import the wmv movies into Keynote?
Thanks,
Bill

WMV (Windows Media Video) is not a compatible format for use within Keynote. You will have to convert them to .mov files, however, there are no free applications to do that. They require a purchased license. Flip4Mac will allow you to try the process, but has a limitation of 1/2 the duration of the clip, up to 30 seconds. You choose Export in the file pull down menu in Quicktime, then choose your desired output format. If you want to buy it, you go to the F4M prefs and click on the upgrade tab. The other app that does conversion is called Visual Hub. It's not as full featured as F4M, but it's a little cheaper, and does an OK job.

Importing MPEG 4 Movie into Keynote 2

After spending 5 days trying to import MPEG 4 video from a Canon Optura 500 videocam, I have learned:
Can't be done. Calling Apple help today, confirmed no possible solution to get the movies into Keynote. I tried everything and read all help information in Keynote and imovie.
What I did for a do or die presentation: Import clip from camera (no editing allowed, as your edits will be lost on transfer) into imovie, copy and paste from imovie to keynote 2, copy and paste from Keynote 2 to POWERPOINT!
click on movie on a powerpoint slide and click view, click custom animation, click on your clip and click extras, pick play on click, and you can now play your MPEG4 movie in a slide show.
An apple rep once told me, in an Apple store, that "Keynote was Powerpoint on steroids". See how bad steroids are for you.

sigh...while Keynote is an amazing product, the Apple store workers tend to over hype it, to the point of making it sound like it has EVERy feature of PPT, when it's really missing a ton of stuff still. Visually though, I have to agree, it makes PPT look like a toy.
That said, I'm trying to figure out what exactly your process was, and what did and didn't work. I looked up the specs on the 500, and it appears that while you can shoot in true DV format onto mini DV tape, it also shoots Mpeg4 onto the photo card. Is this what you shot in (as opposed to DV format onto tape)? If so, I'm trying to figure out how you even got it into iMovie as opposed to iPhoto, which is what you use to import movies from a media card. Also, I don't understand your comment on edits getting lost.
Next, your use of the term slide show is confusing, but I THINK what you'd like is to see the movie sitting there on a poster frame until you want it to play, and then click to make it play. You can do this to an extent, but you have to work around a few missing features in Keynote. Keynote STILL won't let you leave the poster frame showing on the slide and then have the movie play on a click...you'll actually see NOTHING until you trigger the movie as you have to add a build to the movie, and until it builds, you won't see the thing. The work around is to grab a frame of the movie and paste it onto the slide, then build the movie in right on top of it.
I hope that helps. If you can give more details on what you did and what you TRIED to do, and what you want to end up with, I can try to help you figure it out.
EDIT: ah, I see this in a review "Playback of media from the card and the tape is available in playback mode, as is recording to a VCR or a digital video (DV) device using a FireWire cable." which means you "should" be able to import into iMovie. The real draw back is you're working with mpeg4 and not DV...and Mpeg4 is REALLY compressed, not a good format to use if you plan to edit it as you'll have to decompress and recompress, losing quality (DV is also compressed, but not nearly as much).

No more alpha in exported QuickTime movie from Keynote '09

Hello
In Keynote '08, I create a slide with no background (None).
I add some text with some fancy text IN and OUT features.
I export using the Animation codec and the transparency option.
When I reimport the movie in another Keynote '08 file, it inherits the transparency of the imported file and thus everything is perfectly blended.
In Keynote '09 it is not possible anymore.
Even if I import an exported QuickTime movie from Motion with a transparent background, it is not possible to have a perfect blend, all layers are opaque.
Last but not the least, adding transparent files on top of each other in QuickTime player does not preserve transparency despite the fact that the Animation + transparency features are added in the files.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Gary - first off, thanks for your reply! I am currently forcing spotlight to re-index to see if that might help me out. After that I will try your suggestion and run a system software check.
I need a ProRes export as this is going to be combined with IMAG footage from a live presentation as well as additional video from an Arri Alexa. I want to preserve as much quality as possible so that there isn't a discrepancy in the final edit. Originally, I was rendering a small test to the desktop to gauge output quality of animations etc. I did go ahead and re-export a second time to an external drive, but it doesn't seem to matter as Keynote appears to initially render everything to the startup drive no matter what. The second export still ate about 15 gigs from my startup disk and I am unable to find any sort of temp files anywhere!
I am showing all files in Finder and searching around the ~/private/tmp folders to no avail. In the image below there appears to be a discrepancy in the size being reported by finder and the size I'm seeing listed in terminal...

Keynote to quicktime movie to iDVD, no sound on dvd

I know this has been asked a million times, however I (a relatively recent Mac convert) absolutely can't believe that Apple would not allow this to work.
I have a keynote slideshow with music. I "send to iDVD" as well as "export" into a quicktime movie. Resultant files are movie and soundtrack. I bring into iDVD. Sound plays in iDVD. Burn dvd from iDVD, no sound on dvd.
C'mon, the instructions are there, the menus are there. Apple can't expect us to "import into iMovie, match movie and soundtrack" or "burn using disk utility" or otherwise do anything other than take a keynote and make it in to a dvd.
Worst case, can I just burn a CD or DVD that automatically plays the keynote with sound and doesn't have the cool DVD Menu?
Again, sorry for the "same old question", however I have not found a fix that worked nor do I believe that Apple means for this to be so difficult.
For those experts out there that have seen this question before, I really have spent a significant amount of time researching the problem and haven't found a fix that worked or an official response from Apple.
Thanks again.

I am not running this on an intranet, I am creating a video for my students and posting it to my Internet web page. So if I were to post the keynote file itself, 4/5 of my students would be unable to open it because they don't have Macs. Some do not even have desktop computers and view stuff on their smart phones. I solved the issue, at least partially, by saving the presentation as html and posting it to my site that way. It works but it is a bit buggy. Would still rather make it into a movie.

When will Keynote support Magic Move between masked objects?

OK, moving an object from one slide to another is a cool transition, but when they say Move, they really just mean Move. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to support the Magic Move transition between two masked objects but it can't be done. And many a folk here wish it could be by the postings I've seen.
Essentially it would allow you to zoom in on a portion of an image as you transition to the next slide, or zoom out to see the big picture.
Come on Apple, we're begging you.

Thanks for posting Dave.
I noticed this too (along with position problems with builds imported from Keynote 08). Magic Move is definitely a work in process. Make sure you pass your observations on to Apple via the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback with reference to this thread.
Very much looking forward to the next release for Keynote 09.

Quicktime 7 pro movie to picture export fails

Using quicktime 7 pro, on OS X 10.6.8, I am trying to capture a still photo from a video taken with my iphone, imported into iphoto. If I use export, movie to picture, it will work for the first one then will give me the fail catch all... message for all others. Or, if I try to copy and then paste into my preview and use new from clipboard the images pastes as grey.

The QT 7 Pro "Movie to Picture" export option creates a PICT file with or without a user selected "compression" option. Unfortunately, PICT files are no longer the default Mac image format nor are they supported by all apps under Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion. While there are several alternative options here, most users tend to rely on one of the following:
1) If you prefer working in a QT 7 Pro-like environment, open you movie clip in the free MPEG Streamclip app, locate the frame you wish to export, select the "Export Frame..." ( "Alt-Command-F" keyboard shortcut) File menu option and select your desired export settings.
2) If you prefer a quick "screen capture" work environment, open the movie clip in either the QT 7 or QT X player, locate the frame you wish to capture, press the "Command-Shift-3" keyboard shortcut to enter the screen capture mode. Once in the screen capture mode, you can
a) press the mouse to anchor one corner of an area you wish to capture and drag the mouse to a diagonal corner to select the capture area or
b) switch to the "Object Window" screen capture mode by pressing the "Space Bar" and select the "window" you wish to capture by "hovering" the mouse over the desired object.
In case "a" above, releasing the mouse captures the selected area while in case "b" clicking the mouse captures the highlighted object window. If you capture your image without honding down the "Alt/Option" key, the the captured image will include a transparent border area and drop shadow. If you hold down the "Alt/Option" key during capture, then no transparent border or drop shadow is generated. Since entire "object" window is captured using this screen capture process, I use QT X for capturing "frameles" images and use QT 7 when I want the player frame included in the captured image (with or without transparent borders/drop shadows as previously described).
3) Alternatively (under latest OS versions), you can simply open Preview and select one of the "Take Screen Snapshot" options to capture a portion, object, or entire display screen from within Preview.
