How do I play Powerpoint presentations with audio with Keynote?

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Like a lot of people, I have several powerpoint presentations that I obtained while I was a Windows user. While Keynote can open them and play some of the transitions, many of the effects will not play, including the audio.
Is there a way I can reformat the presentation so I can view/play it properly in Keynote? I am wanting to resolve this issue so I can remove MS office for Mac from my machine.
I would be most grateful for any help that anyone could provide with this enquiry.

Keynote isn't at all good at dealing with audio, so whether it's worth trying largely depends on the content of your powerpoints and how many you need to transfer.
If it were me, I think I'd look at using OpenOffice - it may make a better job of things for you.

When I open a powerpoint presentation with keynote the slides are very small. How do I make them fit a page?

When I open a PP with Keynote the slides are very small. How do I make them fit the page, like they did in PP?

I had the same problem.
Go to preferences, slideshow, and check the box "Scale slides to fit display."
Hope this helps!

Why can't I open my Powerpoint presentations with Keynote in my new Ipad 4 although?

I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

Saving a powerpoint presentation with audio as a movie

Hi there
I'm stumped. have a powerpoint presentation with embedded audio and would like to save it as a movie for upload.
any recommendations on how to do this?
I tried the powerpoint 'save as movie' command but it didn't preserve the timings or audio.
Thanks!

Hi,
If the PowerPoint presentation is self-running (you've set the presentation to use the timings you rehearsed), the only way I know of is to use video capture software. PowerPoint's export movie command seems more or less useless. One recommended by MacWorld is Snapz Pro X2 w/video capture. I've used it successfully to capture a 30 minute presentation complete with 44.1 hz/16 bit CD quality audio narration/score at 1200 x 900 resolution. This is on a Unibody MacBook Pro, which is rather impressive, given the computer is both playing the presentation and capturing both video and audio and saving to disk. However, there are other video capture apps that might also work, such as iShowU HD. I've only used Snapz Pro so far.

Can Keynote play PowerPoint slideshows with audio intact?

I mean iOS Keynote on iPad and OS X Keynote on Mac OS X! To play PowerPoint slideshows with built in audio and not just throw up slides.

Keynote isn't at all good at dealing with audio, so whether it's worth trying largely depends on the content of your powerpoints and how many you need to transfer.
If it were me, I think I'd look at using OpenOffice - it may make a better job of things for you.

I have a powerpoint presentation with music which works fine when played through my macbook onto tv, but want to save the presentation to dvd. Music doesn't play - presently saved as wav. Anything i can do - have tried through idvd.

Import PowerPoint presentation with audio

Hello,
I received a PowerPoint presentation with audio which I'm trying to import into Captivate. I can import the presentation just fine but the audio is not included.
Did I miss something?
Kind regards,
Patrik

Hi there,
Thank you for reaching Adobe Community.
Which version of Captivate you are using?
Is the powerpoint presentation a .ppt or .pptx?
Thanks!

Hi - also new to the forums - I am trying to do the following:
I have a slideshow with slides of people, then a slide with a video of someone talking about the person, then more slides, etc... I want to have my playlist play then pause (or fade) so that it does not conflict with the audio from the video clip when it (automatic slide show) transitions to the slide with the video - can I do this and if so how?
thanks,

How can i stream my powerpoint presentation with audio video content to the display devices

i wanted to stream my Power point presentation with audio/video content inserted in between the slides how can i achieve this requirements
is there any harware or software available for this
Please let me know
Thanks

This is not a straightforward procedure. I normally take the exported PPt file onto a windows machine and import the video files into PPt before sending to a client
Once the folder is copied to windows, the video files have to be imported again manually to relink the files as they loose the link in the export
Check that the video files are copied into the same folder as the Powerpoint file
The only file types playable from Powerpoint in widows are: mpeg wmv avi
Use wmv for best quality and compatibility

Audio and Video sound cuts out when adjusting the volume whilst playing powerpoint presentations

I have just bought a new hp laptop and when running power point presentations with embedded media (for my job) I cannot adjust the volume of the sound when the audio or video file is playing. It simply cuts out and stops the video or sound from playing. I thought at first that this might be an Office 2010 issue but now it seems more likely to be a setting on the laptop. If anyone has any answers they would be much appreciated!! Many Thanks

I hear you on this. I just tested out the 3GS video for a concert where band mixed electronica and guitars.. boom boom satellites and I noticed when close to the speaker side of the stage the sound cut in/out. But when I moved farther away sound remained consistant.
What I may suggest is lowering the volume to mid range when closer to your sound source then
correct (if needed) using outside software.. iMovie Final Cut, etc..
Yes, I wasn't to please about losing sound on a what I recorded.. ~A~

How do I get PowerPoint presentation to display properly without having PowerPoint?

Suggestions on how to get PowerPoint presentation to display properly aligned on MacBookPro? These are available for download as ppt, pps & pdf
Our co just came out with new presentations in PowerPoint. They are going toward iPad2, & suggest using Documents to Go on an iPad. But I'm trying to play the presentation on my MacBookPro 13" (April 2010), Snow Leopard. I have iWork & so it opens in Keynote which does not display it quite right. The alignment is off--it appears that the relationships between text boxes isn't quite the same. So there is a long table with arrows pointing to the totals at the bottom but the arrows are over the text.
I tried looking at it in Parallels 5 (Win 7) & it opened in Open Office. That looked better, but several slides aren't aligned right. They have horizontal lines between bullet points & the lines "creep" so that as it goes down the page the lines move up closer to the text & then on top of the text.
Not real up on PowerPoint or Keynote, but I'm guessing maybe the resolution or something is different that throws the alignment off. I am learning Keynote but had just dabbled with PowerPoint & of course had played slide shows created in PowerPoint that had been sent to me which usually didn't have as much text. Also if its just me looking at it, I can manage if it isn't lined up right, but to show to others, it needs to look
I need these to display properly since this is something to use with prospective clients. Also the presentation is designed so that different offices can select which slides they want to use. Our office is not using all of them. So I need to be able to select the slides as well as have them display properly.
Wondering if I could choose a power point reader with the pps to play it rather than having Keynote if that would work, but not sure how to do that.
I think the pdf displayed properly, but don't think I can select slides with that.
So how can I be able to select PowerPoint slides, & get them to display properly? At 1st I thought it might be that I didn't have the font used, but it shows as Trebuchet MS which also shows in my font list on the mac side.
I would prefer not to have to buy PowerPoint & would prefer to not have to use Parallels or Bootcamp, although I can if needed. I purchased Outlook 2007 for Windows which I used to use to sync with my old Win mobile phone. thankfully I was able to get rid of that & get an iPhone & now use the iLife aps rather than needing Outlook.
Also related to this presentation are related files that can be downloaded in either mp3 or mp4. I really don't know what the difference is or why choose one or the other.

OK, I found what seems to work. That is to open the actual ppt version of the download (not the one that had already been opened & saved in Keynote) in Open Office. So I had to open Open Office & then navigate to the file to open it so that it didn't open in Keynote.
At a One to One training on Keynote where I asked for help with this today he noted that it showed that the presentation had been created in an older version of PowerPoint--apparently 2003 for Windows which could explain some of the issues.
Opening it in Open office it displayed mostly ok. There were 2 or 3 or so slides where I had to tweak horizontal lines between bullet points that had crept up so some where through the text rather than under it. So I just selected the lines & nudged them into position.
Its not perfect & for some reason, some of the lines seem a hair thicker than others (which I guess I could go back & figure out how to use the line thickness tool to adjust, but think I will leave well enough alone for now).
As near as I can tell, this seems to work about equally well doing this on the Mac side or in Parallels in Windows 7. So will stick with the Mac side.
This allows me to run the slide show with me controlling when the different bullet points, etc display. It didn't have any exotic animations or transitions--just rather plain vanilla ones.

How do I see powerpoint presentation on VGA projector?

I have the mini DVI to VGA adapter. After I connect my macbook to a vga projector what function key or command do I use to see my powerpoint presentation on the VGA projector?

It is essentially 'plug and play' - this was taken from the following linked site...
Tip: To make sure that your computer automatically detects theexternal display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into theexternal display or projector before you plug it into the computer.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303236
If you Macbook screen does appear and you still have powerpoint problems then the issue may be with your presentation as whatever appears on your screen should appear on your projector.

How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?

I want to play two videos with only one MediaPlayer:
private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
private static Media mLogo;
private static Media mSaludo;
private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
private static MediaView mvLogo;
private static Group gLogo;
public void start(final Stage stage) {
mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create();
mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
stage.setScene(sActual);
stage.show();When I want to play mLogo:
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do this:
mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();But is impossible to change the Media. It doesn't work. Sometimes I play mLogo video and sometimes (depends on the code) the video mLogo doesn't start and I see an image of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exceptions, no errors, nothing.
I want to play mLogo and then mSaludo. How can I do this?
Thanks

Ok, I understand, if I have 100 videos I have to build 100 MediaPlayers but only one MediaView.
Here I post my code with only two videos, I included all the asynchronous errors.

Or is there another way to get my .pptx PowerPoint file into my iTunes movie/video folder?
