Converting a Keynote slideshow into a QT movie

Ok, I've got a nicely made keynote presentation with precisely timed events where text appears and the slides fade from one to the other. When I do the QT export it moves at a totally unacceptable snail's pace. A 10 minute Keynote slideshow was still running after over an hour of tedious transition. What am I doing wrong??

I just did a sample presentation using 5 slides to see the results. When I exported the file as QT self-playing movie using the standard of 5 sec slide duration and 2 seconds for build duration the movies was 25 seconds. When I lowered the slide duration to 3 seconds and kept the build duration at 2 seconds, the resultant movie was 10 seconds faster at 15 seconds.
Going into Custom and altering the FPS, and compression formats from H264 to Video or JPEG Movie did NOT alter the length of the QT output movie at all.
So, I think if you lower the slide duration to 3 seconds , you should get a significant improvement. I hope this helps

  • Why is it when I convert a Keynote show into HTML, PC users cannot see it properly? Using latest OS and Keynote versions.

    Why is it when I convert a keynote show into HTML, PC users cannot see it properly on their computers?

    There is never any guarantee that automatically generated html will look right on every browser, especially Explorer.  For max compatibility with MS stuff it's best to use Office to start with instead of iWorks.
    I don't know whether you could manually edit the Keynote html to make it work better with Explorer.  It would be interesting to know whether it looks right in Windows Safari, Chrome, or FireFox so you could know whether only IE does it wrong.

  • Merging two separate Keynote slideshows

    Is there a way to merge two Keynote slideshows into one slideshow? I'm a fairly new Mac user and don't know how to do many technical things with Keynote...
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Sorry, do you mean a slide show narration? That will be tricky I suspect. You may need to merge the two audio files but I'm not sure how exactly you go about that. I imagine you would have to locate the narration files (they will be in the keynote package), merge them together and save back into the 'single' version of the keynote presentation.
    Searching for narration in this forum will give you the name of the file you are looking for. You'd probably use something like Garageband to edit the two together. Hopefully someone else can help with exact instructions.

  • How do I convert a keynote to flash and keep the video file

    I am trying to convert a keynote presentation into flash, but when I do I lose the videos. How do I stop this from happening?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    How would this help? Flash is not compatible Keynote. If you are saying I should export the keynote presentation as a quicktime, then convert to flash, well, then I lose all the keynote functionality like the viewer choosing when to go to the next slide.
    Am I missing something? I likely am, as I am new to all of this. Could you explain in more detail what you mean? Thanks.

  • Convert Keynote slideshow to MPEG

    Hi,
    For my grandma's 80th birthday, I created a slideshow in Keynote. Everybody loved it (hooray Apple!) and wants a copy, so I tried exporting the slideshow as a movie.
    But Keynote exports the slideshow into 2 files - the movie and the audio track, both in .mov format. I'd like to combine the 2 into a single file.
    Also, the final output should be in MPEG format so that my relatives can view it in Windows Media Player without having to download and install Quicktime. Yes, I know.. I tried to enlighten them, but it would be easier teaching an old dog new tricks than to teach my very unsavvy relatives.
    So, what's the best way to combine the 2 Keynote .mov files into a single MPEG (or other WMP-friendly) format? The best solutions for me will involve iMovie, or Quicktime Pro, or open source programmes like ffmpegX.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi Kyn,
    So I've had more time to play with the video and I managed to combine the audio and video tracks in Quicktime with the copy and paste technique you mentioned.
    Now I need to convert it to mpeg format so that it will play easily on Windows. (The video is for my grandma, she needs it to be accessible as possible.) I've tried using ffmpegX (http://homepage.mac.com/major4) but mpeg encoding fails constantly.
    Could it be my settings? I'm making a 800x600 movie. ffmpegX tells me that my best bitrate setting is 6000kbps. I've left it at NTSC framerate (29.97). Is that way too much?
    Anyway else I can convert the video to mpeg? Thanks.

  • Keynote '08: How to export an iPhoto slideshow into Keynote

    Is it possible to export an iphoto slideshow into keynote?
    Thanks!

    Answered my own question! Exported iPhoto slideshow to desktop - where it appeared as a .mov file -- then dragged & dropped that into Keynote. It plays there, photos & music exactly as designed in iPhoto - remote works to start and stop also! Perfect!

    Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

  • How can I convert my animation into a working movie clip that can be used with a new scene?

    Hello all,
    First and foremost, I AM A TOTAL FLASH NOOB. I want to preface this and make it incredibly clear how new this all is to me. I LITERALLY started using flash this morning; that is precisely how new I am.
    With that being said I am going to do my best to explain what I'd like to do.
    I have created an animation of a spider moving its legs back and forth. I want to be able to combine all of the layers into 1 simple animation that can be imported into new flash scenes with the animation exactly how it stands. I have figured out how to convert the whole animation into a symbol AND I have figured out how to import the movie clip from the library. However, herein lies my problem. When I open a new flash scene and import my animation, I play it and it does nothing at all. It's just the static image of the spider I created with no movement.
    I've spent the last couple hours trying to figure out (and doing my own research) what I have done or didn't do to get to this point. I'd be willing to bet I am just going about the entire process incorrectly and I'm simple overlooking a basic facet of the program.
    Any insight to fix my ignorance is greatly appreciated.
    (P.S. Hell, I don't even know if I am using the correct terminology so for all I know I am confusing every person who has taken the time to look at my question. If I am using incorrect terminology please correct me to avoid future hang ups. Thank you.)

    Ned! This totally worked! Thank you! I knew there was a tiny piece of this whole thing that was preventing me from making everything work. Unfortunately as my luck would have it, although I have the movieclip working the spritesheet converter I'm using now no longer recognizes the movie clip. The converter says there are 7 frames in the animation, but doesn't display any working sprites. Just a blank sheet. Frustrating to say the least.
    I'm just going to throw everything out on the table here:
    This is the video tutorial i'm using to convert my animation into a spritesheet. I've done the steps exactly as directly up until the point I actually click "Begin Conversion." When begin conversion is selected, it shows the movieclip exists on the bottom left underneath "list of movieclips" but doesn't actually show any individual sprites.
    Here's the simple sprite converter I am using.
    The irony of this whole situation is that you have successfully helped me make a working movieclip (which was the important piece), but the converter no longer recognizes it. Whereas before, it would at least show the image on the 1 frame of animation it had.
    If you wanted to to take a stab at it and see if you can successfully get it to work I'd be appreciative. If not, I totally understand as you have already been incredibly helpful and have my eternal gratitude for getting me this far. These animation programs can be quite overwhelming when they so vastly differ from one another. Don't even get me started no Anime' Studio Pro.

  • How to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor?

    I'm trying to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor but every time I submit it, it fails due to error code -50. It worked two hours ago (albeit, very slowly) with another .flv file but now it refuses to even try. Please help!

    Sorry you're having problems, but it's not surprising. The error code is invalid media.
    The easy way is to forget about Compressor and upload the Flash file directly to You Tube with their uploader.
    You'll also save a generation of compression loss.
    Good luck.

  • Keynote does not export music into a Quicktime Movie

    I created a 75 frame Keynote 08 presentation with looped music and exported it into a Quicktime movie, but the music does not play. The audio does appear in the Quicktime "Properties" but does not play. Help!

    My apologies! I went about a VERY lengthy search and just did not find anything to my satisfaction other than people stating that they had the same problem. Just search for phrases like 'Keynote music export QuickTime' and I guarantee you'll find a lot of results. My best bet was to export the movie (went fine) and then to import the movie into iMovie, add the soundtrack and re-export. My main problem was figuring out the best format from iMovie. Choosing the wrong one gives absolutely horrible movie quality compared to the Keynote export.
    The frustrating thing is that you can't tell the movie quality until a, oh, 15-30min rendering of your movie depending on the size and trying that with several setting arrangements adds up to too much time for me. For my situation, I was able to just play the movie and play a cd on a boombox in the background. It was not my desired choice but after hours and hours of trying I gave up...
    Sorry I'm not more helpful. It just looks like this is a bug Apple needs to fix.

  • How do I make a Keynote slideshow controllable in an iDvd DVD?

    How do I make a Keynote slideshow controllable on an DVD made with iDVD? And how do I make the slideshow completely auto with no return to a theme. I want people to be able to start the slideshow when they insert the DVD (no theme) and advance through the Keynote slide show (with all transitions, etc.,) by pressing a button on the remore controller to show eack slide - and advance at their option. Then they should have the option to repeat the slide show. Currently, the slideshow plays all the way through - and then pops into a theme intro - which I don't want. I thought it was set to run without a theme with my setting in the "Map" menu.I have exported a Quicktime version of the slideshow from Keynote which is completely controllable (slide by slide) on my MacBook Pro, but just runs straight through from an iDVD DVD. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help which I badly need...

    Burning Keynote presentations in iDVD
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2936
    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to Convert internal table data into text output and send mail in ABAP

    Hi All,
    Good Morning.
    Taking a glance at a code that converts internal table data to an Excel file in ABAP. also checked how to send this excel to mailing list as attachment.
    But thought of doing it without excel.
    I mean, I have an internal table which contains fields of all types (character,integer,date,time). Since it is only around 4 to 5 rows in it (output),why to convert it to excel. not required!!.  Instead I  want to send this output to User's mails as Normal mail body with No attachments.
    Could anybody please suggest me a way as to how to send internal table data as a mail ( not as an excel or PDF etc).
    as of now my findings are, it is quite complex to convert internal table data to email (Text) format. but i believe if there is some way of doing it.

    -I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
    -I have tried going to file<add file to library
