Combine movie and soundtrack exported from Keynote

Question

Hi!
I have made a presentation in Keynote '09 and have added some audio as a soundtrack to it (playing throughout the presentation). When exporting to the Quicktime movie, I get two files, presentation.mov and presentation_soundtrack.mov (the option to export the soundtrack is of course selected in the export options window). When opening the presentation.mov in Quicktime player, the audio plays fine. However, I would like the movie and audio file to be combined in the same file. How to do this?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
Since I am trying to do a number of things with Keynote, I read these discussions looking for opportunities and pitfalls.
I read your message, and saw your outcome as an issue. Since I've yet to add the soundtrack to my current project, I needed to know more about the outcome before I proceeded, in order to adjust accordingly.
I took my project, and added a song as the soundtrack. I played the slideshow, and the soundtrack played along, across the slides as it should. I then began to record the slideshow, but the soundtrack came playing through the speakers and was being picked up by the microphones, so I offed the speakers, donned my headphones, and re-began the recording. The soundtrack was playing (in the headphones), and I was narrating across many slides.
I played the recorded slideshow, and all was present - soundtrack and recorded narration.
I exported to Quicktime, sending the output to a new folder so that it could easily be found, along with anything else that might be generated. Upon completion, there was only one movie file in the folder. I opened and played it in Quicktime. It was perfect - slides looked good, narration was there, and the soundtrack was playing in the background.
This outcome appears to be your objective, so I'm not sure what I did differently than you, but from this experience, it works as should be expected.
Good luck.
