Keynote Exports to iPod

I have posteed this to Keynote Feedback, but maybe someone else has an answer:
I'm not sure if this is a Keynote problem or an iPod problem, but when exporting a Keynote 08 with narration (either through GarageBand or iTunes), the final m4v file won't play properly on an iPod. Many slides will only play part of the audio then go silent until the next slide comes on. The files, both the .mov files and the converted .m4v files, play perfectly on the computer, but when copied to the iPod, they show this problem. I have tested it on two different video iPods.

I'm also experiencing the same problem; including the GarageBand and iTunes. The Export to iPod is a nice options for a recorded presentation if it works ... but it most definitely isn't for me.

exporting to iPod should work... although exporting to QT without the right settings and resolution may make it incompatible with the iPod Touch

Export to iPod options

Choosing to 'Share' an iMovie (with chapters) to iPod still results in only 320x240 resolution but keeps chapters in the final output. Using the Export/Expert Settings/Movie to iPod option (which I assume is using the latest version of QuickTime to do it as opposed to the functionality built in to iMovie 6.0.3) delivers a 640x480 resolution file but removes chapters.
Any ideas on how to export to iPod/640x480 h.264 without losing my chapters or will waiting for an update to iMovie be required?
I have QT Pro but any export from it deletes all chapters. Very frustrating...

I completely forgot about this thread... sorry!
choose Expert Settings, Export - Movie to iPod
With the "Share" to iPod, it delivers 320x240 since iMovie has not been updated and not aware of the new settings. QuickTime, however, had been updated for this and that is what performs the export via Expert settings.
I'll assume no changes will occur with iMovie until the next, big release (whenever that may be)
Can you give more details on the Expert Settings that
you used to export in 640x480?

Need help projecting keynote from my iPod....??

Ok so I purchased keynote for my iPod it's great and all but I cannot seem to project it on my wall. I have a projector and I video cord but no picture lol
I read a lot about "Presenters notes" and "presenters display" but dont find where to play from there. Also, in the help page it mentions 2 places to press "play" but the opputunity is not there.. please help..

First of all, when connecting your iPod to your computer, be sure to click "NO" if you recieve a message like this: "This iPod is linked to another computer. Would you like to replace the content?"
Then, onto the iPod-to-computer transfer:
There are a few different methods with transferring iPod songs to your computer.
These include:
--- Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes. See MacMuse's posting here: iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)
--- Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). See Jeff Bryan's post here: Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes
--- Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod.
I hope that helps you.

One Solution For No Sound for imovie on Export to ipod from QT

In converting edited imovie projects to video ipod movies, I found the video had sound only for the first edited "clip" in the timeline. I finally solved this problem by extracting the audio from the clips- then saving the project. I convert the project movie to an ipod movie by first opening the QT imovie file in the project with QT pro 7.04, then export to ipod.

See my post.

Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.

Is there anyway to export the iPod metadata from my iPhone 4? I don't need the music, I have that on an external hard drive, but my backup got wiped out and I need the metadata.

Okay, so I had to re-install iTunes. My iTunes library is currently empty. I can make a new back up and the location of the songs not having changed, these will be available in my library?

Keynote export options using Quicktime and iDVD

I am not happy with the output of HD Keynotes exported to iDVD...they work well with triggering the events with a click but the fonts look blocky. There is no way to upgrade the export settings to improve the quality.
I'm trying to squeeze as much out of Keynote as possible... and it seems I'm hitting a few problems.
Exporting the same Keynote to QT gets the clarity I want...because I can select the higher settings...and I can even "click" to trigger the events in QT Pro on my MBP... but as soon as I burn it in iDVD the clicks fail.
I am hoping to combine the clickability of the export to iDVD movie with the quality of the export to QT movie.
And I am soooo close.... I have discovered that the "clickability" seems to be controlled by a layer in the file called a Presentation Pause Track (found when I look at the movie properties).
Have you come across this before?
My plan was to extract the track and then add it to the hi res QT movie!!! I burnt the resulting QT to iDVD and the clicks were there!!! But the were all out of sync!
I discovered the Presentation Pause Track is a different length than the QT export... and even when I've subsequently added the PPtrack using "add to selection and scale" it is still out of whack!
Your help, guidance, commiserations would be appreciated...
Surely there is a way to have my HD Quicktime cake and eat it too!

Cheers Brian
I'm green with envy re the 8 core Mac Pro!
To add to the info: I'm trying to find out how you can export to QT and iDVD and get a 2 movies of the same length... which should allow me to copy the pause track over and not lose sync with the clicks.
My latest test involves a 2 page Keynote (HD res) and the resulting QT export gave me a movie of 43 seconds while the iDVD export came out 57 seconds...
That's with the default settings for slide and build duration of 5 and 2 sec. (could that represent 2 pages of 5 + 2 sec?)
iDVD lets you alter these settings but to a minimum of 1 sec for each... QT export doesn't let you change these except for a self playing movie... so I'm now testing a self paced QT set at 1 and 1 sec and an iDVD set to 1 and 1 and see what happens...
Do you think I'm on the right track or am I wasting my time?
At least 8 cores might help reach theat conclusion a little faster!!

Importing a Keynote export

I put a file from an keynote export 1024x768 into the timeline. FCP tells me to use clip settings, Along with this an audio file that in keynote repeated twice. The audio file I had to put in twice to equal length of visual clip. I say yes. The problem is when I export as a quicktime movie there is not picture and audio only runs for about 15secs. The movie should be 5min. What should I set movie for. I used default for quicktime using DVCpro NTSC. Should I change to H264?
I am trying to put this movie online as a streamed file video/audio together as one file.

1024x768 is not a standard production format used anywhere in the video industry.
NTSC is 720x486.
Redo your Keynote to reflect that or use one of the HD pixel dimensions such as 1280x720 or 1920x 1080. Yes, you will probably have to rebuild the Keynote slides. Dont forget to take safe area constraints into account if this is going to be shown on a TV or projection system.
Do not, under any circumstances use the H264 codec to edit with.

Exporting for ipod

Ok, so I have my film in FCP 5 and I want to export it for ipod and apple tv. I tried to use compressor, (first using the ipod setting) although when I brought it into itunes it did not keep the 16:9 setting, and the quality was extremely poor. What am I doing wrong? Anyone have any ideas?

It doesn't really matter how you export in FCP - you're still going to have to convert it using iTunes. Obviously you want to get the best quality you can going into iTunes, so I would suggest using Export>Quicktime Movie>Self-contained. Then, using the subsequently created file that has pristine quality, take it into iTunes and convert.
There might be a better way to do it, but that's the only way I know. I do know that the best quality you can get out of FCP is to export it as a Quicktime Movie. That's the first thing you want to do.
Have you checked in the iPod forum?
jesse.
p.s. Have you tried Compressor? It has settings for exporting to iPod. I haven't tried them, but that might be something to look into.

Exact settings for Export to iPod in QT pro ?

I used export to ipod option with QT pro and it works great but ... it's damned too long.
And there is no access to the original settings.
I would like to play with the export to MPEG4 settings to make it faster but I need to know first what are these original settings that are used in this export to ipod option.
Somebody knows ?

DivX movies.
It works fine with QT pro and its Export to iPod option.
But it's very long.
I think it may be doing 2 pass.
And I think 1 would be enough, all other considerations being OK.
There is no way to tune this option since it comes with no possibility to change the settings.
So, what I want to do is use the MPEG4 option and change its settings to the iPod's one minus 1 pass.
But I need to know what are the exact iPod settings used by Qt pro.
Not the ones that are recommended everywhere.

Is Keynote sloooooooow to export to iPod format (including narration)?

I have a 10-slide Keynote presentation where, as an experiment, I recorded a narration. When I chose Export... and then clicked on the iPod icon, I chose (well, agreed with the preselected) Playback Uses Recorded Timing, and Include the slideshow recording. There was no background music or any audio other than the narration I recorded from within Keynote itself. I chose a target for the file and fired away.
One year later...
No, it didn't take that long, but it took about TWICE as long to output as it had taken for me to make the recording in the first place! It felt like forever. The output was 640 by 480, which I thought was pretty big for an iPod, but I didn't see any option to reduce the screen size (and thus, presumably the encoding time and file size).
Is that normal? I'm using a MacBook Pro, 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM. I'm running Snow Leopard, 10.6.6.
I just tried to upload it to my university's online Blackboard container, and it tells me that the 129 MB file size is too big for the maximum of 60 MB, so I definitely need to find a way to output a smaller file.
In sum, my questions are: Is it normal for it to take this long?
Is there a way to make the file smaller and still be iPod-appropriate?
And one more: The file extension it chose was .mov; isn't a different extension normal for podcasts?

PS: I'm using Keynote '09, version 5.0.5 (942).

Keynote presentations from iPod to TV

As Keynote can export presentations to QuickTime, I wondered what accessories are needed to use the new video-playing iPod Nano, Classic and Touch for presenting "on the road" (or at home). These iPods all connect to a standard TV using component cables or composite cables via Apple's Universal Dock. So the necessary accessories seem to be...
Apple Universal Dock (Includes Apple Remote and Dock Adapters to fit any of the three video-playing iPods):
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MB1 25G/A
Apple Component AV Cable (includes Apple USB Power Adapter
to charge your iPod at home, on the road, or whenever it's not connected to a computer.):
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=184 EAE7D&nplm=MB128LL/A
Apple Composite AV Cable (includes Apple USB Power Adapter):
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=185 CC5FE&nplm=MB129LL/A
...and of course an iPod (except the Shuffle):

The iPod doesn't play visualizations, ***** up too much battery and processing power. Why not connect your computer to your TV?

Movie within Keynote, export to quicktime transition delay

I have a very strange problem I can't seem to figure out. I create a Keynote presentation every week that is used to show our announcements at our church. I create the keynote with automatic advancement, then export it to a quicktime movie (which is then put on an iPod and used to project at church). It wall works very well and I have used this for several years. Here's my problem:
I inserted a movie into a slide in Keynote, the movie is about 30 seconds long and I am playing about 10 to 15 seconds of it. I then have the slide transition to another slide. When I play the keynote it all seems to work great - however, when I export the movie via quicktime, it plays through the movie then hangs for 10 seconds or so at the end of the movie before making the transition to the next slide. It is apparently "stuck" for that time. I have played around with every setting I could find to see if I could get it to work right but nothing changed this behavior. I tried shortening the movie length under the quicktime tab in the inspector, changing the delay in the slide tab in the inspector, nothing.
To make matters worse I apparently can't just cut out the 10 seconds of offending material via quicktime pro as it somehow only registers by the slide number and I cannot get the index arrow to pick a portion of the movie to splice.
Its all very frustrating - I've spent about 3 hours on this silly thing this evening telling myself "it can't be this hard." But either I am really missing the obvious, or there is a bug in Keynote, or this just can't be done.
BTW I am using Keynote 09.
Any help would be very appreciated. For tonight I've given up on the movie and just cut that part out.
thanks.

You've found one of my frustrations...here's the way it works:
In keynote, you MUST set the slide delay for a movie to stay on screen, and you can see that you're able to transition before the movie is done by cutting the delay shorter than the movie. The draw back is, if you want the whole movie to play, you MUST set the delay to at least the same length as the movie.
When exporting to QT, this doesn't work. The export forces the movie to play in its entirety. If you weren't trying to cut the movie short, you'd still have to remove your auto advance delay so that it transitions after the movie plays. This is why you're seeing that long hold, it's counting your movie length AND the delay time you added in Keynote.
The only thing I can suggest is removing that transition delay and living with the movie playing through to the end. You could always trim the movie in QT Pro and use that in Keynote I suppose.

Keynote Export "Transparent video"

This maybe a some tip and trick how to export form Keynote transparent chart animations and what ever...
i looking for answer around the network, but no answerts of this question! So i figure out how to do this and i like to share it (maybe helpful for others)
1. Create a transparent .png file (i take for example my steps) i created in Photoshop transparent image 1024x576 for PAL Widescreen. Export as .png
2. Open Keynote, make your own animated chart, pie or whatever you like.
3. Open inspector > Document inspector set your size. (For my situation i choice 1024x576)
4. Go to Slide inspector. Under Background choice Image Fill and use your transparent .png image
5. File/Export.
6. check include transparency. Under formats choice "Custom"
7. Choice Settings!
8. In Video Compression Settings Choice Animation Set your frame rate. Set Keyframes to Automatic. Set Depth to Millions Of Colors + (Quality - set to Best)
Thats all!
Transparency are not working by default - it works only when you set a transparent Color Fill
this is some kind of Keynote Bug or so...

This also works if in your step 4, you choose "Color Fill", then using the Color well, choose any color you want, AND set its Opacity to 0%. No need for the transparent .png file this way.
(I sure wish the Include Transparency check box would stay checked from one export to the next!)
Cheers, and thanks for the post.

Keynote Exporting Issues

To start... I have searched and found some answers to these questions that don't seem to work well.
I have created a Keynote Presentation with 4 slides, two with animated backgrounds, one sound effect on each one, animated Move-In, Out, & Actions, a background track, and a voice over. I'm having a few problems with all of that when I export.
1. The animated backgrounds stop moving during the "Preview" in KN and on the export, but in different places. I have selected "Loop" and it won't. The desired effect is to have it keep looping through the Slide Transition.
2. I want the background track AND voice over. When I try to adjust the volume of either for balance, the exported version (regardless of misaligned transitions) has both audio's at full volume. This feels like something I should be able to lock into place before the export.
3. Timing of animations and slide transitions is very different in the exported version. I've seen discussions on here to put the "Delay" to "0.0", but won't that effect my desired effect on the animations? or, is this something you do after "Recording" the voice over and it somehow remembers the delays? I'm a bit confused on this one.
I have always had the feeling of, when I say to myself, "there should be an easier way to do this," when it comes to apple stuff, there usually is. Thanks for any help you can give.

You might find the whole process a lot easier if you combine the background and voice over on one audio track.
If you don't have an audio editor, the freeware Audacity will do it all for you...
