Exporting Keynote to movies give me different FPS...

I am exporting several Keynote 09 version 5.0.3 presentations to movies using "Export" -> Full Quality, Large.
According to what is stated in the settings, I should get a movie at 24 frames per seconds, but some of the movies I get have different fps like 24.5 or even 47...
I really need all the movies to be at 24 fps.
Any suggestions? I have to finish this project fast!

ok, I was able to reproduce my problem. I'll probably try to figure out a minimal test case which reproduces this and send it in to Apple, but for those interested, it goes like this:
Create a slide, and put stuff on it. Not sure how feature-rich it has to be, my slides just had a couple of jpg's on them. I also put a build on these 2 images, and a transition the slide.
Duplicate the slide
in the duplicate slide, I duplicated the 2 images. Dragged them so they werent overlapping the original 2, and then dragged 2 new jpgs to replace the duplicates. (So the 2nd slide now has 4 distinct images).
Remove the builds from the 1st 2 images on slide 2.
Export to QT, watch the movie, and you should see some severe jerkiness. This isnt a problem with QT playback (QT is playing smoothly. Its the source movie that was rendered with the jerkiness in it).
After having figured out more features in Keynote, my solution is this:
(1) Don't ever ever ever ever duplicate anything in Keynote. Copy/paste is fine. Duplicate is not.
(2) My specific scenario above was made easier by just having 1 slide, and building everything right onto it, with various timing delays (which didnt come out quite right, but there's already 500 posts on THAT issue)

Error exporting Keynote to movie

Whenever I try to export my slideshow to quicktime I get a Keynote quit unexpectedly error and it doesnt create the file. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just to add that it will now export for the fixed timings option but not recorded timing.

Export Audio To Movie, functions differently now.

This used to work fine for me - but now it doesn't, strange.
I have two tracks that I recorded in Logic pro 9.
I went to "File/Open Movie" in Logic - brought in an MPG and lined it up where I wanted it so that it matches the audio.
When I go to "File / Export Audio To Movie", I used to get a screen that allowed me to de-select the audio in the movie, so that the movie audio wouldn't be in the final exported movie.
I DO NOT want the audio from the movie to be in the export.
I have muted the movie audio in Settings / Video / so that it does not play while I roll the tracks in Logic.
I used to be able to deselect the movie audio when "Exporting Audio To Movie" but now I don't get that screen when going through the export process.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, Giovanni5000.

You have to do some basic trouble shooting routine to give a little more info:
1) Use a different movie and see if the export works
if yes then the problem could be your original movie
if no try a a third movie
2) Use a new project and try the basic routing: import movie, import new audio - bounce to Movie
if that works then maybe there is a problem with your project and not with Logic. Back to your project and digg deeper
3) etc ...

Black frame in embedded quicktime movies in Keynote when exporting to quicktime movie

I've included some quicktime movies made in Photoshop in my Keynote presentation. When viewing the Keynote presentation from within keynote, the movie play perfectly. However when I export the presentation to a Quicktime move, the first or last frame of the embedded movie is black creating a flicker effect on play.
The quicktime movies have been embedded as loopable animations using the animation build in function 'Start movie' (after transition with 0 delay).
Is there a setting that will prevent the black frame on export or is this a bug?

Keynote does not export Qucktime embedded movies within slides? Won't play

I Have a Quicktime movie within one of my slides and when I export a Quicktime .mov file, that particular slide does not run the quicktime movie within it, just stays on the first frame?
any ideas where I am going wrong?

I think this is a limitation of the export -> quicktime option
Keynote does all sorts of tricks to keep the file sizes small- and one thing really gets butchered are embedded quicktime movies- I have two almost show-stopper frustrations with this:
1- quicktime movies do not loop when exported to quicktime (limitation of sprite track? will look around in live stage pro)
2- all builds and movies must play in entirety before you can click through- this makes being able to skip around very cumbersome especially if using an indexed presentation

Exporting different FPS of one clip FCP and compressor dropping frames HELP

Hi all I'm posting this because I have no Idea what I'm doing wrong I'm trying to export my HD file from FCP as a quicktime H264 in 30fps and 24p of the same file. My client needs it in quicktime format but when I export in both FCP using quicktime conversion and compressor the fps playback is 12fps...8fps?. I've exported before not as quicktime with no problem. NTSC 29.97 version and PAL 25p of the same file in quicktime exported with no problem but the HD 1080 at 30fps and 24p wont work. Any advise or suggestions would be great....

Oh sorry, I've digitized my file from HD mini DV cam with FCP. I captured as HDV 30fps from the camera to FCP. I had no problems exporting with Apple HDV codec into different size and frame rates but trying to do the quicktime H264 at 30fps and 24p 1920x1080 is not working frames are dropping I do the same settings in compressor and still doesn't work.

Exporting Keynote to Quicktime - complete loss of sound

Hey,
I’m facing problems when it comes to exporting Keynote to Quicktime.
For a tutorial, I recorded a Quicktime movie of my screen (including my voice as audio). This Quicktime movie is placed on a slide and runs during the whole presentation. I use animations for showing text blocks that give additional info while the movie is running.
In Keynote everything works just fine. But when I export it to Quicktime, *the sound stops as soon as the first animation is started with a click*. From then on I can see both the embedded Quicktime movie and the animations but without audio.
Sometimes it even happened that after doing the first click I could see the animations only, but no Quicktime video / sound.
I’ve spent the last nights with trying changing export settings and so on, searched this forum up and down, but couldn’t find a solution…
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Mike

I just posted this on another similar inquiry. THis may help. I posed a similar question so check the thread "Bottom line...etc." If you follow the guidelines below it should work. The final result is one QT movie with all slides and music. The product was so much nicer than the iPhoto slide shows (although they are OK too. (I don't know about the video in the Keynote might work as described in the initial post here.)
Here is what the final answer was, at least for my situation:
"YESSSS!!! Even after meeting with 4 Geniuses and 1 Creative the answer was still a definite bottom line, "Maybe." Until, I finally realized that the one setting that I was not using correctly was in the Export> QT> Playback. I had been using "Manual" and not using the "Fixed Timing" out of fear that it would change the custom settings that I had on each slide. However, that is not the case. The settings on each slide remain the same even though in this option there are settings for slide duration and build duration. I do not know what those options do but the bottom line is I now can Export to QT and then import to iDVD with both sound and video as one file and they work fine both as an isolated QT file as well as a QT/Slideshow in iDVD. Thanks for the help from all the contributors both recently and quite awhile ago when I first faced this challenge.
Peace,
Jim

Exporting an uncompressed movie out of AE

I just upgraded to Mtn Lion from Snow Leopard. One difference is I used to be able to export a QT movie out of AE that was uncompressed. Now that option is gone, have to compress it with one of the many options. I have a sound added so I can't export stills. The uncompressed will give me more options as i create different formats. Thanks!!

Exported Keynote presentation improperly exported by FCP

Hi all,
I have the following problem, I use Keynote to create a presentation for my company's customer (large Japanese car maker). They requested it in a format that could be used by their staff to present to the board. The best solution is to use the Send to iDVD function, and this one works fine (regardless the fact that during export Keynote does something evil to the presentation and doesn't preserve aspect ration etc.). For that reason I used the Export to QuickTime (settings: Apple ProRes (HQ) 422, no audio, resolution 1280x720 [just because a week of trial and error showed that this resolution scales down perfectly to PAL 16:9 DVD]) and the movie plays perfectly. The only reason I need to use FCP is to adjust slides' timings etc. The resulting QT movie is imported perfectly into FCP (requires no rendering, blah blah), I cut it up the way the presentation runs smooth and everything, timing are cool. Now trying to export it anywhere, using any available format gives me CRAP. Half of the transitions are off or gone completely, instead of some slides I get stills, etc. Is it me doing something wrong or is the Keynote export doing something funny to the QT movie it is creating that is misunderstood by FCP. I wasted a week trying to figure it out, no luck. Another problem that shows up now and then is that the QTed Keynote is incomplete under FCP, ie. missing randomly from few seconds to few minutes. Any help is appreciated.

How can I get Keynote directly into FCP? I already am exporting it into QT ProRes HD, the iDVD is only a final step of the process. Yes, I am upset, it is a BIG project and I cannot fail, not because some stupid configuration mistake as I still hope it is me doing something wrong not some FCP/Keynote bug.
It's not a bug. It's you. ProRes is a delivery format, not an editing format. Forget it. Export stills out of Keynote, tiffs or jpegs. You decide.
iDVD only does MPEG2, maybe in HDV format, I do not know, I have never used iDVD.
Most of us would create the images from scratch within FCP's graphics and text editors or in Motion because of the peculiar needs of video for pixel thickness and color gamut. Translating bad slide shows to video just makes bad video (and there is no such thing as a good Keynote or PowerPoint presentation).

FCP won't play Keynote QT movie

Just converted a Keynote presentation into a QT movie but it refuse to playin FCP, it plays ok in Quick Time. When I try and play it in FCP it brings up the message 'general error' and 'File Error'. The Keynote QT movie of the music plays ok in FCP though.
This is the first time I have tried converting a Keynote presentaion to QT so I guess I did or do soemthing.
Any thoughts?

I used H.264. Frame size 720 x 576.
Now bearing in mind I am running FCP 3.0.9, do you think this might be the problem? I know that codec is available for exporting in my version of FCP so I thought it would be able to import it too??

Exporting but when playback it becomes different in size

hi all out there.
i have finalised an 8 minute movie for my major work, and have made several dvd copies of my work. however, when i play my dvd in different dvd machines, it seems as if some of my work gets cut off screen. e.g. my character, who is standing on the side of the screen, has half of her face chopped off (but when i am editing on my mac, i can see her whole body).
i was just wondering if there were any export settings on FCP 5 that i could use to make my film a 'universal' size that works on ALL tvs.
CUrrently i am recording on a Sony HDR-HC1 camera (if that helps)
and what would be the best export settings? Just a standard quicktime movie??
also, sorry, with export settings, what happens when i go:
export > quicktime movie, and then change the 'current settings' to that of HDV1080i50?? what does that mean, besides High Definition?
many thanks
greatly appreciated

There is a Title Safe and Motion Safe area around the perimeter of the frame, which is not seen on televisions. You can turn on the guides in the FCP Canvas window by going to the far right dropdown menu at the top of the window and choosing "Show Overlays," and as well "Show Title Safe."
Text placed outside of the larger guide box (which is the Title Safe area) will likely not show up on a TV screen, and it's good practice to keep any images of worth within the inner guidebox, which is the Motion Safe area.
Title safe is 80% of your screen area and Motion Safe (or sometimes Action Safe) is 90% of your screen area. This is because of the expectation that any display device (TV's) will be "overscanned". You can research Google for more info on it. It comes from the days when TV was really the only option for display, but even if you're designing for the web or for a DVD that's to be played on computers, etc., it's a good idea to keep a nice border of video fodder around the edge of the frame purely for compositional reasons.
Best way to export is Quicktime Movie> Current Settings. With that method you lose no quality. If you change the export settings, your video will be converted to whatever selection you choose, usually resulting in unwanted compression.
Hope this helps,
Joni

Export 16:9 .move file with FCP

Hello,
Since May this year I cannot export my FCP 16:9 project to a 16:9 .mov file anymore. The last good one I exported was May 4th, 2009. When I open this QuickTime file with FCP it is widescreen. I exported the same project on May 27th. That .mov file is letterboxed when opening it with FCP.
I never used QuickTime Pro because this program could and can only display my videos letterboxed.
I tried several options to try to export the movie 16:9 (Current Settings, DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic).
Someone advised me to use the Cmd-J option in Quicktime, but before May 27th, the export was good and I could use it in iDVD. But since that date it is not possible anymore. When importing the movie directly in iDVD, it is 4:3 format. And after changed it to 1024 with Cmd-J in QuickTime it is halfwidescreen in iDVD (looks like 14:9 i.s.o. 16:9)
How can I get my old good working version of FCP back I had on May, 4th and earlier ?
Or how can I export to QuickTime movie that gives me a 16:9 video again as it was before May 27th ?
Thanks,
Hubert

Hello,
I tried a new 16:9 project. In this new project FCP the video is exported in 16:9 format.
So there must be somewhere a 16:9/4:3 option switch in my old 16:9 project.
Where can this option be set to 16:9 ?
Thanks,
Hubert

Why the color mismatch when exported key to mov?

Keynote colors are rich and bright, but get all dull when exported to a mov.
Anyone know why this happens, or better yet have a solution?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. No, I haven't converted any color images from RGB to CYMK. The original graphic file was made as RGB. The colored box in PM7 is set to the Color Options of:
Type: Spot
Model: RGB
(R 255, G 0, B 0)
As said, in PM7 the two red objects look identical in colour tinting etc on the screen, and you can't tell the difference. But when the doc is converted to PDF the difference is obvious.
After posting to this forum last night (Australian time), I wondered if it had something to do with dot resolution. The graphic file is 300 dpi, whereas the red PM box is filled with color that may be at a much lower DPI, causing a dullness in the color. I assume the PM 7 default for this can't be altered. Maybe there is a setting in Distiller that could handle this, so that the colors are equalised.
The solution I'm currently using is to remove the box (or oblong) containing PM's RGB Red, then make another graphic file which is RGB Red (either at 300 dpi or 200 dpi, either TIFF or JPG, it doesn't matter), of the same page size as the PM doc, then place it onto the page and send it to the back so that everything else sits on top of it. When converted to PDF you now can't tell the difference between the RGB Red in both graphics.
I'm happy with the result, but it's a workaround.
Thanks,

FCP export to "QuickTime Movie" distorts aspect ratio of all text, displays video correctly.

Hi you all,
My name is Alexander, I'm from Belgium.
I'm working on Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, on a MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, running version 10.7.2 of Mac OS X (Lion).
I'm editing a 'making of' of a Flemish feature film. I shot this 35 minute documentary short with my own Canon HDV-camcorder (XH-A1). The Final Cut Pro-project is stored on an external hard drive (1 TB LaCie Minimus).
I've been doing exports to "QuickTime Movie" for years now, without any problems, but since a week or two, FCP started messing up the titles over the video - and the titles only. Their aspect ratio is messed up once exported, but they look just fine in the FCP Timeline (in Viewer, I can verify that the aspect ratio of the titles is always "0"). I'm trying to export this to "HDV - 720p25".
Here's a comparison between the two:
As you can see: the MOV has the titles' aspect ratio all weird, the upper one partly covering the lower one. All titles and text in the docu come out like this, but the video (and audio) is exported correctly.
Any ideas on how to solve this very annoying problem?
Many thanks!!
Alexander

Hi Studio X,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The producers of the film want to upload this making of-documentary on YouTube. Therefore, I need to give them a high-quality-mov with the least possible Megabites. My film has a 35 minute running time.
So I figured: Let's start with the 'smallest' high-quality FCP-export to begin with (HDV-720p25), and throw that one in Compressor, in order to end up with a 'small' but good looking H.264-MOV for YouTube.
But for some reason, those "HDV-720p25"-exports mess up the titles. And I can't figure out why.
