Exporting presentation to movie file:  build/slide duration

I have been unable to find this in Keynote's help file.
When exporting a Keynote presentation to a self-playing movie file, you are asked to specify:
[1] Build duration
[2] Slide duration
I suppose this should be obvious, but I can't quite figure out what they mean with respect to a .mov file.

In case Brian's answer wasn't what you were looking for, in the self-playing mode, build duration refers to how long each animation build/slide transition should take, and slide duration determines how long a slide should stay on-screen once all transitions are completed on it.

  • Exporting slideshow to .mov file using Ken Burns looks low res?

    I've created a slide show using the Ken Burns effect exclusively, and after I export as an .mov file and pull that into iDVD (or watching it in QT player) the moves look like a very low resolution image was used instead of the high res files that I know are there. Any ideas of how to fix this? or is this just the way iPhoto handles the files when using Ken Burns FX.

    Have your tried the procedure that seems to solve a variety of problems for the iLife applications? Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    Ken Burns also...images do not fit to screen any more.
    I am not aware of an option to make the Ken burns effect "fit to screen". This effect is applied in a somewhat random fashion, so what you see on one playing of your slideshow can be slightly different when viewed again. You can avoid undesirable changes, like cutting off the tops of heads, by manually applying the KB effect to photos in question. The control is at the bottom of the window when in the slideshow mode. When you are satisfied with the way the slideshow looks, export it as a QuickTime movie.
    I hope this helps.

  • Exporting presentation with movie clips .

    I want to export for sending to CD but movie pictures end up twice as long and freeze after playing.
    The movie clip was created from FCP and also iMovie.
    I have added a transition to the movie slide and this seems to cause the problem. It appears to double the length of the slide (if original movie was 5 secs it becomes 10secs).
    I need the CD to run the presentation automatically.
    The export is for QuickTime, Manual advance, Full Quality,Large .
    I have spent 2 days on this and I am going crazy, not sleeping! You know it all!
    Help please. 
    I hate to mention this but I tried the same thing in PowerPoint (ugh) but the result was the same.
    Products iMac and

    Presumably you are creating a self playing movie:
    1- Inspector > Transitions > start transition select; automatically and set the delay to match the duration of the video
    2- in the export dialogue box, delete the slide duration values. The timing from each slide will be now used instead.

  • Export a Flash Movie File

    Can you Export Flash Movie files to other formats?? Don see
    an Export to other File options.
    Would like to Export a Flash Movie or SWF file to a Quicktime
    or IPOD MPEG File.
    Anyone know where to do this? Do not see an Export to File
    option to that Format on Flash Pro CS.
    Thanks

    Without seeing your movie, its difficult to tell where the
    problem may be. My first guess is that the data rate is to high.
    You will probably need to choke that back in some way: lower the
    data rate for the compressor, reduce the frame rate, reduce the
    image size, reduce the color depth, etc.
    When you select to export to QT, for example, a new window
    opens to let you select some basic settings. At the lower right of
    that window is a button titled "Quicktime Settings...". Click that
    button and a new window will open that will allow you to set the
    compressor, frame rate, quality, etc.

  • 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

  • How to export as a movie file

    Hello- I am a teacher and make a dvd for my kids with all of their pictures and videos on it at the end of the year. As I was taught in the apple store, I made the video in imovie and then added the music in garageband. Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice, only music choices. Is there any way to still export this as a movie file? I believe it was a quicktime .mov file. Any help would be appreciated.

    Today I started this project, and garageband no longer has "export movie" as a choice,
    Are you now using GarageBand 10.0?
    Then import the movie,
    Track menu > Show Movie Track
    File menu > Movie > Open Movie
    Mix the sound track song
    Then use the "File" menu > Movie > Export Audio to Movie.
    This will write the audio aa an audio track into the imported movie.

  • Export for flash-movie file conversion.

    I want to prepare files for the highest quality possible for conversion to flash-movie files. I recorded in HDV- edited in HDV- send to Color in HDV- and now my question is if I should send it to FCP from Color in 10 bit-uncompressed to keep the highest quality?
    Also at the end exporting from FCP- should I change my sequence settings? Again I need the very highest quality for later conversion to a flash-movie file, and was told that uncompressed is the way to go??
    Any thoughts on this?
    Thanks- Adam.

    "Keeping" the quality isn't really the issue-- if you're working in HDV, there's nothing to gain by going to Uncompressed, because you weren't working in Uncompressed in the first place. The exception to this is color grading and graphics: ideally, you would be working in a higher quality sequence such as ProRes (Uncompressed is probably overkill) in both FCP and Color.
    Of course, I can't honestly say that any of this will make a difference in a Flash movie-- Flash is for web delivery, and to bring it down to a bitrate suitable for the web, you'll likely lose anything you might have gained from this process.

  • Export to QT Movie/File Size Triples?

    Hello fine folks,
    Having a problem exporting a long sequence out of FCP to a QuickTime Movie (NOT self contained), for import into iDVD.
    The final file that is created is 22 gb! Way too large to use easily in iDVD. (And way too slow in creating it, obviously.) I also tried it as self-contained, but that was so slow that I canceled it (45 minutes, and 15 percent done). I am using chapter markers.
    The assets in total are only about 7.5 gb, and I'm not using all of the assets, just edited parts of them.
    I have done this before, but not on my laptop, as I am doing now (on the road for the holidays).
    Anyone have any advice for what I'm doing wrong/what the issue is?

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for the response.
    I'm using a PowerBook G4 1.5, with 1 gb of ram. Using FCP 4.5. I have only the internal drive, so all files are on the system drive.
    I'm intrigued by your idea of rendering. I had problems rendering. Quite a bit of it needed to be rendered (especially audio -- there are many mp3s in the sequence). I would select render all, and it would render a bit of it, then quit with a "general error." I had to select render all several times ... actually once for each mp3 in the sequence -- before the whole thing was finally done. I've never had to do this before.
    (Another issue I was having -- not sure if this helps -- my sequence contains a couple of old home movies transferred into dv ... they have audio files attached, but the home movies are silent. So before I placed these assets into FCP, I opened the home movie files in QTPro, to export them without sound/get rid of the soundtracks. I have also done this before on my MacPro, with success. But on my laptop, this exporting from QTPro was so slow and ponderous that I gave up ... it would have taken me three or four hours just to export a 2.6. gb file into another file without audio. So again, I gave up.
    There is something going on that I can't quite figure out.)
    Many thanks.

  • Tbl exporting to Quicktime mov file

    need to make a mov file from a timeline with SD dv avi video.  On a win 7 i7 920 PC machine--I can export as avi fine but one person wanted an mov file so they can re-edit.
    I chose export,  Quicktime, Ntsc dv and the video codec 1st choice is dv25 ntsc when I export I get and error as below
    Adobe Media Encoder--error compiling movie--unable to create or open output file-seems like I did make a mov file bak in CS4.
    Am I doing this right

    Make sure that you have gone to
    www.apple.com and downloaded QuickTime onto your computer.  This
    download gives you the codecs you need to make QuickTime files.

  • QuickTime exporting a trimmed .mov file

    I've successfully trimmed a .mov file to the beginning and ending that I want. But when I come to export it (save it) and pick Format for Mac & PC for some reason it automatically exports the file as audio only. The trimmed version of the orginal has both audio and video, but the trimmed exported file only contains audio. Anyone know why even though I'm not choosing to export it as audio only?

  • Exporting a quicktime .mov file to rework the video in imovie- pixelated

    Hi- I have a 17 minute clip saved in .mov that I want to break apart into 3 segments. When I try to import the .mov file into imovie- it says no way... so I have exported the file as a .mp4 and the file is totally pixelated... so not worth breaking apart.... what can I do to export it? So, it views properly when I import it? anything would be really helpful and i really appreciate it! thanks for the help! spence

    I had similar issues when importing shorter clips. The solution that eventually worked for me was to export each clip from Quicktime Pro as Progressive footage in a DV stream using the DVCPRO50 settings. Exporting in the regular DV format caused the footage to look very pixelated in certain parts. The downside to this is that the DVCPRO50 settings produce clips that are twice as large. (A 1 min clip will be around 400MB in size, compared with 200MB for regular DV.) Try that (assuming you have upgraded to Quicktime Pro).

  • Export Flash to .mov file

    I work with Flash CS5.5 on a MacPro with OS 10.7.5 with a 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon processor and 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB graphics card. When I export my Flash to a .mov file the results are cluttered with artifacts of previous frames over the current video. What causes this? And are there preferences or settings to correct it?

    Hmmm I would say as an image sequence would be best. The only programs that support swf files are After Effects and the Adobe Media Encoder which actually works nicely to convery from one file to another. I got it with my Flash CC download so you might try that.

  • Can't export 25 minute .MOV file to .AVI

    I am trying to export a 25 minute QuickTime .MOV file to a .AVI file and am having major problems.
    The .AVI file I get is about 5.21GB but only contains the first 5 minutes of the video.
    I have tried exporting directly from Final Cut Pro and from within QuickTime Pro (both Mac and Windows versions) with the same results. I have even tried using programs such MPEGStreamClip with no luck.
    My export settings:
    VIDEO
    Compression: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
    Quality: Best
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Scan Mode: Interlaced
    Aspect Ratio: 4:3
    SOUND
    Format: Uncompressed
    Sample Rate: 48kHz
    Sample size: 16
    Channels: 2
    Is there anything I can do to fix this? I need the .AVI and this is a major hassle.
    Thanks.
    Brian McKechnie

    I use the Export > Movie to AVI and then select the settings mentioned.
    Going straight from the Final Cut Pro timeline does not work.
    Exporting as a QuickTime movie from FCP and then trying to export the AVI from within QuickTime does not work either.
    Settings for the QuickTime file that FCP exports:
    DV
    720 x 480 (640 x 480)
    16-bit integer (Big Endian)
    Stereo
    48.000kHz
    29.97FPS
    It seems that this only happens on files that are longer then 18 mins. I need the AVI in order to convert the file to WMV in Windows Media Encoder as Flip4Mac Studio Pro HD 2.0.2 exports files with green blotches all over it.

  • Exported presentations to QT, speeds of slides and transitions differ!

    Have created a Keynote presentation and exported it to QT movie
    The QT file timeline for the slides is halved!
    I thought these timings were set in Inspector?
    Is there a place I can check presentation timings and how can I fix this problem?
    Alexander

    We are having similar problems. See below. have you found the answers?
    Have made a Keynote presentation with diffferent sound tracks for each slide and it plays just as we want responding interactively changing slides on clicking. After exporting to QT the interactivity is lost. Now the slides stay on screen until each song has played right through. We have tried exporting it as a self playing movie and as an interactive slideshow with the same result. Our objective is to be able to burn the exported QT version onto a CD/DVD which will then operate on any computer in the same interactive manner as the original.
    We have also tried exporting as a self playing movie to QT and it still does the same thing i.e each slide stays as long as the sound track eg 3 minutes

  • How to export a VCD movie file to iPhone ?

    I was trying to convert some of my VCD (MPEG-1) movies to be viewable on my iPhone using QuickTime Pro's Export function. The VCD movie is viewable in QuickTime Player with both video and sound. However, after the conversion, I only get video but no audio. Any idea? Thanks for your help in advance.

    Use Streamclip to break the larger file into smaller "chunks" prior to export and export to DV Stream.
    Use QuickTime Pro to join these .dv files and then export to a 320X240 (or maybe 480X360) at the iPhone .mov settings (not the built in preset values). If needed you can use the built in "Filters" adjustments to adjust HSL or brightness and contrast to improve video quality.
