Exporting to QT on Keynote with embedded narration or audio files doesn't work

When I create a Keynote presentation, I often publish them for viewing after the presenttion.  I have been making presentations for a long time and never had luck with Keynote using narration.  When you edit a narration, it first "appears" to erase everything from the point you choose to edit forward.   However, when you finalize the presentation and export to QT as a movie (yes the edits sound fine when you are using keynote itself) EVERY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TAKE on each slide will playback at the same time making the audio incomprehensible.  I'm using a 2013 2.3 GHz quad core i7 with 16 GB DDR3 and the newest Keynote 6.01 2013.   Narration has NEVER worked properly on any previous version, and still doesn't.  
I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
Keynote is simply a buggy inferior product for use in recording presentations as far as I am concerned, and I am very very disappointed in Apple for not figuring these issues out.   It's not a new product, and it's not as if most educators are not participating in on-line posting or sharing their work as movies for later viewing by students.  
I'd appreciate hearing what others do to work around these issues before heading back to Powerpoint or having to make complex i Movies with slides as images and adding qt narration to the movies.   Keynote claims to do this... it just but I've never encountered an apple product with more bugs. 

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

  • Read From Binary File doesn´t work on MCB2400 in LV2009 Embedded ARM

    Hello,
    I try to read a Binary File from SD-Card on my MCB2400 Board with LV2009 Embedded for ARM.
    But the output is always 0, if I use my VI on the MCB2400. If use the same VI on the PC it works fine with the same binary file.
    The
    access to the SD-Card on the MCB2400 works in other cases finde, if I
    try to read from a text-file it works without any problems.
    Are thre any constraints for the "Read From Binary File"-Node in Embedded in comparison to the same node on PC ?
      I have noticed that there is also a problem
    with the reading of textfiles. If the sice of the file is about 100Byte
    it doesn´t work anymore, too. I can´t understand it, because I read
    always just one Byte. And even if the implementation in Labview is so
    bad that it allways reads the total file in the ram it sould work. The
    MCB2400 has 32MegaByte RAM, so 100Byte or even a few MegaByte should
    work.
    But this doesn´t seem to be the Problem for the Binary-Problem. Because even a 50byte Binary-File doesn´t work.
    bye & thanks

    Hello,
    thank you for your Help.
    But I just want to read a Binary File, which is build by another program. And this is coded with 8Bit (like a normal Binary File) and not just with 7Bit (ASCII). So the workaround doesn't work in my case.
    I posted the Test-VI in my first post (here once again as picture). And it works fine on the PC, but if I try it on my MCB2400 the "Read Form Binary File" Node doesn't work.
    And it is also possible to open the Bin file with the "Read Text File" Node and see the cryptic content of the Bin-File. So the Problem seems to be in the "Read Form Binary File" Node.
    bye & thanks again

    Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    - An iPhone 3G or later.
    - iOS 3.1 or later.
    - A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
    - A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work

    Help! I have had my iMac G5 fitted with new Logic Board but it doesn't work
    I have just had my iMac G5 First Gen 1.8Ghz fitted with a new Logic Board under the Apple Repair Extension Programme for iMacs.
    I got the iMac home from the repairers and switched it on and everything was working fine for about 2 hours and then all of a sudden the Error Page came up on the Screen (with a big On/Off Switch Logo) and it said I had to shut down.
    So I shut it down waited a few minutes and then tried to re-boot it but nothing happened. All that happended was the Power Light in the Right hand corner came on..but nothing else....
    Help! Any ideas what to do please?

    If you have an external firewire drive (it has to be firewire, USB won't boot on a Rev A), plug it in to the firewire port and turn it on, then boot your iMac and see if it shows on the screen.
    Have you tried to hit the eject (up arrow, the last button on the top row of the keyboard) button when you boot, perhaps the repairers left a disc in the drive? Then try and put your install disc in.

  • I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?

    Do not worry about it.
    Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
    You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs

    I am having a problem with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner.  I've tried everything but restoring the phone.  Is this a phone problem or an app problem?  Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it? 

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this

    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation

    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • Keynote with embedded .mov exported to Quicktime and then WMV (Flip4Mac)

    Hi,
    I have a Keynote with an embedded .mov file (video and audio) half way through which exports to Quicktime fine ("Keynote .mov").
    When I use Flip4Mac to convert the Keynote .mov to WMV the resulting WMV file works fine but stops when the audio of the Keynote .mov stops i.e. Flip4Mac doesn't render the last of the Keynote .mov
    I have sought help over at Flip4Mac tech support forum but thought someone here might know the answer.
    I have tried a variety of different .mov files in my Keynote but the same in all cases: export to QT is fine but Flip4Mac stops converting the Keynote .mov at the end of any audio.
    I can extract the audio track and Flip4Mac will convert the Keynote .mov (video) all the way through.
    Help?

    what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.

  • Export to Flash with embedded QT or Flash video - can it work?

    Is it possible to have an embedded video (either QT or Flash) in a Keynote '08 presentation and export the presentation as a Flash SWF file? I have tried saving the video in different QT and Flash formats then export to Flash using Keynote, but when I view the exported SWF file, the embedded video doesn't play. I'm unsure if it's not possible to do this or if I'm doing something wrong.
    Thanks.
    Lori

    No, this would have required Apple to build a Flash video encoder engine into Keynote's export module. You'd think if it was already a flash movie, it would work, but it doesn't, so assume they just didn't bother building in support for embedding flash movies into a flash export.

  • Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

    Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos. 
    The text track works great until I try to export it.  After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
    My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format.  The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4.  I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
    Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost.  It disappears.  When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing.  Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
    If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
    Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
    Thank you!

  • Issues with embedding QuickTime for audio

    Two issues when playing audio files via a web browser (tried with Chrome and IE8):
    If I use wmode=transparent the control buttons are not shown, only the progress bar. When I removed wmode=transparent it worked fine. Is this correct behavior?
    Some browsers still invoke the embed part instead of the object part. I thought all browsers used object now.
    Here's the markup I now generate (in PHP):
    $output .= "<object classid=clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B codebase=http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab>";
    $output .= "<param name=src value='" . $url . "' />";
    $output .= "<param name=autoplay value=false />";
    $output .= "<param name=controller value=true />";
    $output .= "<param name=bgcolor value=FFFFFF />";
    $output .= "<embed src='" . $url . "' autoplay=false controller=true bgcolor=FFFFFF pluginspage=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/>";
    $output .= "</embed>";

  • Keynote 3.0.2 (iWork '06) Files Don't Work in Keynote 4.0 (iDon'tWork '08)

    I just got iWork ’08 yesterday, and tried to use a slideshow created in Keynote 3.0.2 with the new Keynote 4.0, and nothing works. The original file is an interactive slideshow of my office work portfolio, and has an initial slide with 40 project photos that are hyperlinked to smaller automatically running slideshows of the specific projects represented by those photos. Within those smaller slideshows are embedded QuickTime movies and separate audio files that often play simultaneously as soundtracks. Timing of the start and end of movies and audio files is usually critical to the sequence of slides. Once the specific project slide show is complete, it automatically returns to the opening hyperlinked slide, so another project show can be selected and played. It all works perfectly in Keynote 3.0.2.
    However almost nothing works in Keynote 4.0. The initial hyperlinked photos link to the wrong projects (I have found that it seems to be the next project from whatever the selected slide in the navigator view happens to be, rather than the correct hyper linked project) movies embedded in the automatically running slideshows don’t play, audio files either don’t play or start at the wrong time. Auto transitions between slides don’t always occur so the show sometimes stops (thought the audio sometimes keeps running) and on and on. There are several hundred slides in the whole show, and I haven’t had time to inspect individual transitions, timings etc., and would hate to think of the time necessary to redo the entire show that way.
    I’m by no means an expert in Keynote, so I don’t know if there is some version update conversion trick that I’m missing. I sometimes distribute this show on disk to clients who have Keynote installed on their computers, and I wouldn’t want them trying to run it with Keynote 4.0.
    Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
    Also in a more general sense, I wish that Apple would create a freeware Keynote Player that could be distributed with slideshows and which would play them as they were intended to be played. Kind of like Adobe Reader distributes for pdf files. None of the Keynote exporting options, including html, work for the kind of show I have created.
    Thanks very much.
    P.S. I just tried the trick of setting the KN preference to “Allow Exposé, Dashboard and Others to Use the Screen”, and that fixed the playability of QuickTime movies, but audio file timings are still off, skips occur in the audio files and the hyperlinks still go to the next sequential slide rather than the proper link.

    What version of the OS are you running? Also, in some cases, running the same presentation on two different computers will yield a change in carefully timed presentations. This is because audio and video aren't "locked" and will drift depending on the speed of the computer/OS. Because there were some changes made to how Keynote handles movies, this MIGHT have an effect on some of your timings there, but I don't think this would cause the widespread mislinking you're seeing.

    If you're displaying on a Mac running fairly recent OS, anyone can download and install the iWork Trial. While it will eventually time out, this trial version can still run Keynote presentations just like the full version can. You just can't save any changes to the presentation.
