Keynote into imovie*

I am new to iMovie and Keynote. I have a new MacBook Pro. I created a slide in Keynote with the scale animation and text. I exported it as a quick time and now I cannot get it to open or drop into iMovie. My Apple tutor says that I may have to convert it using OT Pro. Do you know of another way? If I download iMovie 7 would I have this problem?

I got my answer - project complete

Can't import quicktime movie made from Keynote into iMovie media browser

I've created a file in Keynote, exported it to quicktime and would like to import into iMovie. iMovie keeps giving me this error message: Unknown error: the file could not be imported. Can someone help?

Rarely am I able to solve my own problems, regardless of how much effort. But I did figure this one out, simply by trial and error. *To recap... I have created a sample slide show to use as a test run through Keynote (to get the best builds and transitions), to Quicktime Pro, into iMovie (to marry the features of iMovie with the Keynote slides) then back to Quicktime Pro as a final product.* It was a crash course with all 3 applications, so a huge learning curve for me.
Quicktime Kirk helped me successfully with my first go round with this. But with so many nested compression windows and so many combinations of choices, I eventually forgot which settings had worked correctly to give me the quality resolution that I had achieved the first time.
So I posted several messages asking for some clue where I was going wrong. Kirk did get back to me, but told me that I needed to create my project entirely without iMovie. Very frustrating because I knew I had done it before with iMovie.
After literally hours of analyzing all the working files and duplicating the exact settings I used before, two scenarios were happening. One, the end product had terrible resolution quality (not even close to the first time around). *Or two, when trying to import the first Quicktime file created from Keynote into iMovie, there was an error message saying that the file could not be imported*.
So, I eventually decided to try the following:
*1. Create Keynote file*
*2. Export to QT with "Full Quality/Large" setting checked, and "Include Transparency" checked.*
*3. Open QT file to check quality. If acceptable, export this QT file as a QT file again using the highest quality settings - preferably ones that match the first export from Keynote to QT.*
*4. Open iMovie file and import this new QT file.*
*5. Do my thing with it.*
*6. Export (Share) iMovie file as a final QT file with "Full Quality" setting checked in the first pop-up compression window.*
This sequence proved to be successful with the same high quality resolution as the very first go round with it. I KNOW, though, that this wasn't the sequence I used the first time because I didn't do step 3.
I am just happy that I got what I needed. Now I can create my full presentation without worrying about the outcome in the end.
*Because I'm on a Mac, and the AIC default is used, my next feat is going to be identifying codec settings that are going to work both on Mac and PC (newer machines AND older machines).*
*So, does anyone have a clue how to do this?*

Keynote into iMovie, Help!!

If I build a Keynote presentation including animations and place the show in iMovie, will the animations still play?

1.) Where do I go to ensure that the whole show will play automatically?
in the inspector:
build > options > auto after
2.)where do I go to set the show to the quicktime compatible setting?
file > export > QT
playback:   self playing - set durations for slide & build
enable;   enter full screen
format:   custom > full size
settings:   compression type:   HDV 1080p

Keynote grafx into iMovie HD

I'm wondering if I have the concept backwards...
What I've done is gone VHS-->PC-->.wmv-->.mov-->iBook-->iMovieHD.
It's about an 8 min. total video, and I've cut the live footage I'll need to use down to about 5 min., which means I'll need to do about 3+ min. worth of grafx in Keynote.
I've read threads/Googled articles about importing iMovie HD footage into Keynote for a presentation, but that's not what I'm wanting to do; I want to INSERT Keynote-originated footage inTO iMovie HD, and use iMovie HD transitions into the Keynote grafx, then back into the video, then more grafx, etc.
When I'm finished, I'll export the finished product, featuring the captured video + iMovie HD transitions + Keynote grafx from my iBook-->PC with a DVD burner.
Is this even possible? I'm trying to update an old video into a more interactive DVD using iMovie HD, Keynote, iDVD, and a DVD burner.
Am I doing this bass ackwards? Is importing Keynote INTO iMovie HD even a possibility?

Hmmmm, this is discouraging.
What I'd wanted to do was do some animated grafx/slides, and incorporate them into the iMovie project for the final DVD.
So you're saying that when I export the slides from Keynote, in .dv format, that there'll be considerable quality loss?
That stinks!
I hadn't planned on using stills...all the slides would have some sort of animation.
Rats.
Any advice here? Will the Keynote slides really look that bad?

Merging Keynote pages into iMovie

I've prepared several Keynote pages with the thought of incorporating them into an iMovie project. I just figured out I don't know how to do this. Can anybody help?

I do not know if this is what you are looking for, but I was successful in exporting a slideshow/presentation from Keynote into imovie... here is how.
1. download Real Time Player for Mac. (i think is Version 12.0.0 or Real PlayerSP for Mac)
2. Create the slide show
3. export it using Quicktime (at this point the slide CANNOT be imported into imovie)
4. Open the EXPORTED file using REAL TIME PLAYER. When you move the mouse inside the screen of your video a box should appear in the video. On the top right conner there should be a button that says "CONVERT". Click on it.
5. Convert the file into a CUSTOM H.264 file
6. This CONVERTED file should work in imovie!
Hope this helps, write back if you have questions!

Import Keynote Slides into Imovie

Is it possible to import a Keynote slide into Imovie? If not, is there some way to create a "call out" word balloon and make it appear with a still photo in Imovie?

sure ..

demoes the usage of Keynote with iMovie.
you can use 'animated' presentations or single 'charts' as jpegs ..
.. If not, is there some way to create a "call out" word balloon and make it appear with a still photo in Imovie?
two options:
• prepare the still in some 'paint'-app, demoed here:

Expoting a Keynote file into iMovie

I am trying to find anyway to import any quicktime file into iMovie and have this look good. I have tried all different compressions and still no luck. I am trying to export a Keynote presentation out to a quicktime file and then send to iMovie to mix with audio.
Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this with iMovie or any other tool?

Thanks for the reply. Actually my end target is to out to a DVD and\or a quicktime file. I am trying to build a tutorial using Keynote and an Apple Script called http://automator.us/self-prezo/.
I had eveything working perfectly with a text to speech component...Perfect for training, however when I went to record the presentation using Snapz Pro, this would not work. I can record the audio but not the video.
So my next thought was to export the actual Keynote presentation and import this into iMovie, and then mix with Audio. Problem is when I bring in the Keynote quicktime file into iMovie, it looks terrible as you know.
Hopefully this gives you a better idea of what I am really trying to accomplish.
Thanks for your help!

Keynote to iMovie '09 Text is Fuzzy at Full Screen View

I haven't seen any postings like this so I'm starting a new thread...
I have a keynote with mostly text and transitions (slide size1024x768) I exported to QT (custom full size, H.264, 30 frame rate, 24 key frame rate, data rate of automatic and compression quality at best.)
I import this mov into iMovie where I'm adding some audio. I now need to export the movie to play from a Windows machine (that has QuickTime) onto a HDTV.
I've been trying all sorts of export options from iMovie but the quality of the text gets very fuzzy when I view the exported movie in full screen on my iMac. What settings should I be trying to ensure I'm getting the best quality movie on the HDTV playing from QuickTime.

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

Help with exporting Keynote to iMovie

Hello, I am working on a project in both Keynote and iMovie in which I am making some slides in Keynote, exporting them as Quicktime, and then importing them into iMovie. The slides primarily are composed of scanned pages from a book and thus have lots of small type. In Keynote, the text comes out very sharp and I can read it all perfectly. When I import the Quicktime movie into iMovie, however, the text looks very blurred and is almost unreadable. It looks like a JPEG which has been compressed way too much. However, I believe I have all of the compression settings set as high quality as possible. All of the other Keynote slides export and import just fine, only the text is giving me problems. Could someone please show me how I can export the Keynote slide so that the text shows up in iMovie just as clear as it looks in Keynote?
Thank you very much,
Daniel Baker

well, in that case you need to determine if this issue only happens with a perticular report or all of them, if it happens only with reports imported from 5.x or with newly created reports as well.
Looks like it is happening only when report is exported from Infoview, not in the Deski client. This might indicate a problem at the Web Apllication server (tomcat or one you use).
If this issue is happening with any report - it might be a bug. In that case you have no options as there are no more patches for XIR2.
On the other hand - if all you need is to extract data for consumption in another tool , why not use Data integrator instead ?
Also, if this desn't work in Deski - does it work if you convert your reports to webi and export from those ?

How can I export a slide from Keynote to iMovie HD?

I've tried to export a slide with animation into iMovie HD. The settings I'm using are 320x200, frame rate: 30 fps, Progressive, 16x9, Data Rate: Automatic. When I export and import into iMovie Hd the resolution is blurry and grainy.
I initially tried to build a title sequence in Keynote. The title sequense transitioned into a quicktime movie clip, transitioned into a title sequence. The audio portion worked to time but the video output was increased by :30 seconds and was out of sequence. I played with the settings and deleted the preference plist for iWork, but the timing never worked in Keynote.
The timing works in iMovie Hd, but I the titles are grainey and poor resolution.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff

The source is DV 16:9. I've adjusted the resolution to 360:202 and compressed with Sorenson to a QT 512 streaming clip. The resolution is very good and I don't have any issues with the video. I've imported the video clip into Keynote and assembled the title sequence. It looks good with no blurring or choppiness. The problem comes when I export. The timing goes off and the length of the entire video clip is increased. I've also had problems with Keynote when exporting. It seems to be inconsistent and will drop the last title, even though the preview worked fine. I've worked around the problem by importing the title slides with out the transitions and then going into Final Cut. I'd like to keep the title transitions that I had in Keynote . Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

Why can't I import my ppt.mov file into iMovie?

I created a ppt movie, added music and now have a file that I want to import into iMovie. When I hit the browse button, my ppt.mov file shows up but it's light and I can't select it.

You can export from powerpoint as a MOV file. You must take care that Powerpoint does not add any extra tracks like a manual advance track. This would cause iMovie to not be able to edit it. There are several parameters you can change in the "Options" when exporting as a movie from PPT, but it is not obvious to me which of these might introduce the offending track.
The most straightforward way (or most likely to succeed) is to export from Powerpoint as photos. You can select it to Save as Photos as a series of JPEG images. These jpegs can then be imported into iPhoto for easy import into iMovie. You can add the music in iMovie as well.
I guess the question is, what are you adding in iMOvie? That might help us give better advice.
Also, if you use the iWork App "KeyNote", it gives you the option of exporting to QuickTime without a manual advance track.) Keynote can import PPT. If you do a lot of this, Keynote might be worth the money. Else, just import the photos.

PowerPoint with Sound into iMovie

I have Power Point presentations I made with voice over recordings. If I save to QT, I lose the sound. I don't really want to have to record these presentations yet again. (I started with Keynote but the timing was off so I changed to recording with Power Point for Mac). I know how to save the slides and import them to iMovie (save as image) but how do I do that with the sound files? I can't even find the sound files to save them separately.
I used to be able to do this with Windows but when I bring the presentations to my Windows machine and save the way I know how to maintain the sound files, it doesn't save them. I assume that PPT for Mac saves them in a different format than the Windows PPT version. Please help. TIA.

Have you tried...
in PowerPoint
FILE/SAVE AS MOVIE...
Movie Options... choose your soundtrack.
That will give you an .mov file.
If it will not import into iMovie, see if there are tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, or text tracks and delete them with QuickTime Pro.
Come back if you have more questions, or if this does not make sense.
This is easier in Keynote. You just set up the presentation as a timed advance (not manual advance) when you export the movie. This will keep the "bad" tracks out so you don't need QuickTime Pro.

QuickTime file into iMovie?

I am trying to burn my Keynote speech with slides into a DVD-R so it can be replicated and sold.
So far I have created a QuickTime file of the speech (recorded timing) - now I think it needs to go into iMovie so I can
then 'hit" One Step DVD -
but I can't drag the Quicktime file into iMovie. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it greatly!

Burning Keynote presentations in iDVD
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2936
Contributor Old Toad has added the following excellent advice:
To get the keynote presentation into an iDVD slideshow that you can advance slide by slide with a DVD player remove you need to convert each Keynote slide to a jpg file. To to this go to the view all slide window, select all of the slides and type Command+P to start a print job.
While in the print window click on the PDF button at the bottom and select "Save PDF to iPhoto" from the drop down menu. That will create a 200 dpi jpg file of each slide of the presentation.
Next add those slides to a slideshow in iDVD and select slide duration to Manual. Now the finished DVD is played the DVD player remote will control the advance of the slide.
I suggest you follow this workflow to create the DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
As far as having no menu you must have a menu to fall back into once the presentation has finished. If you want just a black screen use one of the old themes like Brushed Metal, Burlap, Sage or Graphite and put a blank, black image file in as the background. You will have to have a button or text button in the menu so choose text and set the text to black if you want a fully blank menu. Be sure to set the highlight color for the text button to black also.
Finally follow Klaus1's method of dragging the slideshow into the autoplay bin while in the Map mode so the slideshow will start automatically when the disk is inserted into the player.
