Automatic slide transition and playing movies

I am currently creating a presentation to showcase our children's work at school. I have a few videos to play within the slideshow. Is it possible to make keynote wait for the movie to finish playing before a transition? I realise I can set a Delay - but this gets tedious as I have to check each files length - and this is something that we want to change regularly. Also - more annoyingly - there seems to be no relationship between the lenghth of a movie in quicktime and it's length playing within keynote. A 3 minute quicktime video, with a 180 second delay in keynote, finishes a good 20 before transition. Can Keynote be made to wait for a video to stop playing before it moves on to the next slide?
Also - I used to be able to embed a webpage in a keynote slide - has this ability gone in '09? Thanks in advance!

I am having the exact same problem! I need to take my presentation to school, and our campus is not-so Mac friendly. I don't want to lug my 20" iMac to class. Either I have to use a remote with my quicktime file to advance the slides after the clip is finished, or the page simply advances before the video is finished. There must be some way to remedy this. A friend mentioned putting the project into iMovie, but wouldn't that entail recreating the entire project I just spent a week making? How so I do this right?

Keynote transitions and quicktime movies very choppy, not smooth

When playing a slideshow, my slide transitions and Quicktime movies are not smooth, especially when using Magic Move for a transition. There is also a long delay for the start of a transition, even if delay is set to zero. I believe I have adequate hardware but any suggestions are appreciated.
Oddly, if I export a Quicktime version of the presentation or view in "Rehearse Slideshow," all transitions are smooth. Any tips for better playback performance while in Keynote? I would use the exported QuickTime for the actual presentation if there was a way to automatically stop/start playback at the end of each slide. Is there??

A number of recent posts have reported similar issues, all running on MacBooks.
I have not experienced these issues on desktop machines.
Try deleting Keynote, empty trash then install from Mac App Store
When playing Keynote, close all other open applications.

Automatic slide transition timing

I'm putting together a presentation with multiple actions on each slide. The actions are all timed and I want each slide to be displayed for exactly 30 seconds before transition to the next slide.
But I can't figure out how to set this up. Is the automatic slide transition delay timed from the when the slide appears or when the last action finishes? I tried working it out both ways and it doesn't make sense.
e.g
I have a slide where a picture appears after 20 seconds. I then set the auto slide transition to 10 seconds. I expected the slide to change at 30s but it actually does it nearer 40s?
What's going on?
Thanks

I tried a new experiment with a fresh, new Keynote presentation. Plain white background. Three words that animate, each On Click. Move In, Bottom to Top. .2 second speed. Dragged my WAV narration file to the slide. Recorded the presentation, animating each word manually at the appropriate point in the narration. Playing back the recording in Keynote looks and sounds as intended. Exported to QuickTime. Narration starts, first animation doesn't appear in time. As soon as first animation appears, audio cuts off completely. Other two animations appear, with no audio.
I even tried a different font this time (a standard OS X font). This can't be a problem with my presentation file.
Something is wrong with the QuickTime exporting function. I'd love to know if anyone has had success (visuals and audio in sync) exporting to QuickTime after importing your narration (or sounds) by dropping an audio file on the slide.

Ipod to tv slide show and play music

Hi
I want play a slide show with my pictures and play music through the ipod as well. I have a dock connecter which connects through S video and sound through red and white connector leads. When the ipod is not in the dock i can do both but i can only do one or the other when plugged in.
It's the new 80g ipod which I have, is there somthing that I am doing wrong, is it possible to do both any help would be great
thanks

Hi
I have an Ipod80G as well.
But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?

HT204370 can I download onto SD card and play movie in the "in car" dvd players (which have a SD port)

I have a new in car dvd player (one in the head rests). It says that you can put movies on a SD card and play them rather than using DVD's. In itunes, can I download movies onto an SD card?

Nope

Recording 16 tracks and play movie on Macbook pro

Hi
Has anyone experience with recording 16 tracks 24 bits and play in the same time a movie on a new Macbook pro 2,16 on a secondary screen ?
On my G5 it's no problem.
Thanks

Hmm... I do recall there was some kind of external USB2 video input device. I think it was from ATI though i may be mistaken. One of there All-In-Wonder devices.
Regardless, such devices do exist, though they are likely only composite, S-Video, or F-Connecter based, and will likely have some form of latency issues.
You may want to look around to see if there any form of ExpressCard capture devices. The ExpressCard slot is is capable up fill PCI Express speeds around 2.5Giga bits per second, so I suppose it does have sufficient bandwidth to capture say Component or HDMI video. Though I'm not sure if such a device even exists.

Audio cuts out at slide transitions when played on TV

The audio on the DVD is my own narration, nothing downloaded from iTunes--and it works fine both in the iDVD viewer and DVD player on my computer. But in the DVD player attached to my TV, the audio cuts out at each slide transition, which are dissolves.
The image files are relatively small, and there are only 25 slides. I burned the DVD at 4x rather than maximum speed to enhance quality. In preferences, I have "best quality" rather than "best performance" checked for the encoder settings.
Please let me know if you have any ideas for a fix.

Is the audio embedded in the video or did you do a voice over?
If it is embedded in the video, you might try extracting the video and then adding the transitions.

Transfer and play movies on ipad mini

I'm not succeeding with this, in spite of following so many different instructions.
First: how do I get videos (my own Quicktime or iMovies, other videos such as MP4, AVI, etc.?
Second: do all videos need to be converted to iTunes m4v format?
Third: is iTunes the only way to play videos/movies? Or is there an equivalent to, say, the good old standard QuickTime?
Fourth: Must I first transfer to iCloud in order to get videos on to the iPad mini? *I ask this because my primary Mac, is my Mac Pro but it is 2007 model and cannot be upgraded to Mt. Lion, hence, cannot fully access iCloud. I did buy Lion and tried upgrading it but it made such a mess of things I went back to Snow Leopard. That said, I did install and still have Lion on my MacBook Pro.
Fifth: Since I do have Lion on my MacBook Pro, I did connect the iPad Mini to it and that is when I began trying all the ways I could find to get movies from my MacBook Pro to the iPad. I even used my WonderShare Video Converter Ultimate for Mac and converted a few videos beforehand to m4v.
Sixth: If I did succeed getting the videos transferred, I cannot tell.
Finally, I began searching the App store for Movie or Video Players for the iPad. I downloaded two, Video Converter App; and Media Player. And I have iTunes on the iPad.
So, can anyone help me with this? How do I play movies on the iPad Mini; how do I figure out if they exist on the iPad (did I succeed in transferring them?)
When I open iTunes, after supposedly transferring a few, all I see are videos to buy. The Purchased button does not help since I did not buy these. I made them on my Mac.
Thanks for any assistance

UPDATE:
Umm, I feel pretty silly because I just noticed an App named "Videos" on the iPad dock. When I clicked it, two of the videos I had converted to m4v before trying to transfer, were there, and played.
I never saw this Video app on the dock before. Did something I did in all my aforementioned efforts cause it to download, or was it always there by default, and I somehow overlooked it?
Either way, I'm still not sure which of my efforts did make the transfers work, and what the options are for video types and ways to transfer to iPad. Especially, is there a way to do so using my MacPro (Snow Leopard) since that is where I do all my video work?
Thanks again

Loading and playing mov

I have the zen xtra 30gb and it has more space then I know what to do with.
I want to know how I can make it so that I can play movies (of course without video) of .avi and .mpeg files. Would it involve converting the files into another format? Would I have to extract the sound parts out or can i just leave that in there?

Well greyscale, and the fact there is *no* decoding hardware in the player
But I think the orignal poster already knows this as he says he only wanted to listen to them. Either way he'll still have to extract the audio content to a specific audio file.

Itunes keeps shutting down when I try and play movie

How did you get the songs on you iPad? My library contains over 18,000 songs in it and I have a portable hard drive that I use as a back up, not only for my music but for everything else on my computer. I accidentally deleted my library once and had to restore everything from scratch, so I learned to back everything up so in case the computer bites the dust, everything is on a portable drive, which I also take with me when I leave the house so also in case of a robbery and the computers are stolen, I have everything that is on them.

HOW DO I UNITE MOVIE & SLIDE SHOW AS PLAY MOVIE {IDVD}

PLEASE HELP ME
BY THE WAY IT IS AN IDVD

You can do this in two ways:
1. Drop your movie into the slideshow area either before or after your slideshow photos. When you click on Play All, your movie and slideshow will play as a single movie.
See Old Toad's picture of where to drop the slides and movies:
http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iDVD8movieSS.png
2.You could also put the movie and photos into an iMovie and then it would play as a single movie. You could put a chapter marker to denote the beginning of the slideshow so that the viewer would be able to choose 'Scene Selection' to choose the slideshow. If you want, you could change that text to read 'Play Slideshow'

How can I fix my shaky transitions and picture movements??? PLEASE HELP!

A very bizarre thing has happened to my project. I made a documentary so my project consists mainly of still images that either zoom in or zoom out and between every picture there is a cross dissolve transition. What's weird is that once I exported it to quicktime, the transitions got shaky (in other words, instead of smoothly dissolving from one picture to the next, the pictures would shake slightly). Also, on some pictures I have the picture start out still then zoom in then become still again. When I do this the screen almost jumps when it starts to zoom in.
What's even MORE bizarre is that once i burned this project (using iDVD) and watched it on my television, the quality was horrible whenever the pictures were moving (the pictures would shake up and down very fast). But once they stopped moving, the quality got better. What's weird about this is that the transitions don't shake and the pictures don't jump on the burned version.
Basically what I want to know is how I can fix this. I don't want to go through all my pictures and take out all the movement because 1) that would take me a year and 2) the movie looks better with the movement (if only it worked).
Please help!! I have a showing of this documentary in a week!!

Are your photos in .jpg format or .tif? I did get those "shaky" transitions but it seems to have been resolve (with me) when I converted them to .tif.

My iTunes library has too much on it. is there a way to export it to an external hard drive and play movies from there?

I have nearly filled up my hard drive with movies on itunes. i know i can export everything to an external hard drive, but is there a way to export only the movies, delete those from my hard drive, and then play the movies with the external hard drive connected?

If they don't contain DRM, use a program such as Switch. If they do, you can't.

Organizing and playing movies in iTunes

Hi!
I've experimentet a little with putting all my movies into iTunes and use that for all my movies and songs. Movies ripped with HandBrake is playing fine, but .mpg files lacks (or whatever it's called) when the control panel is visible (the one where you can pause the movie, rewind it etc.), but plays smoothly when it disappears. And .avi files can't open at all.
Can you give me some pointers about using iTunes for more than just songs?
Thanks

The same thing is happenning on my latest iTunes software. I cannot move the Diamond on the scrub line to advance/rewind my video. And using the next or back button indeed goes to the next movie and not to next chapter within movie....
