Keynote - quicktime - PC

I've made a presentation for use in a theatre show, originally in Keynote on my mac, but have exported via Quicktime to Windows. It consists of films, slides, animations and sound FX. Although it's currently one quicktime film, it stops as it should after each segment even when shown in Windows. My problem is that while on my Mac I can interupt each film by clicking the right arrow which moves the film to the next start point, the same click on the PC moves the film right to the end. Complicated I know, but I'd be very grateful for any solutions/advice or different ways of acheiving the same result.

The Keynote/Quicktime bug which prevents podcast exports from Keynote

I too have been stymied by the bug which prevents export of .mov files out of Keynote when the presentation contains builds. I spent this weekend recording lectures which I would normally give to medical undergraduates in person but for which I will be away so have to prepare substitute podcasts. I have done this in the past very successfully. This weekend I recorded the audio for the lectures in Keynote and all worked as it should when I played them back within Keynote. The first lecture I exported successfully to a .mov file but this presentation was short and didn't contain animations. The next two lectures would not export, the computer often spent many minutes saying it was exporting but would then produce an error message saying that it could not be completed because either there was not enough memory or the file was the wrong format. I tried at different resolutions, shorter presentations etc. This was all very frustrating because last year I had successfully done the same thing with highly animated presentations.
Today I tried it on my office computer which is a recent 24" iMac with lots of memory and a powerful processor but the problem remained. It was then that I consulted the forums and found page upon page of people with a similar problem and lots of supposed fixes including reverting to earlier versions of Quicktime etc.
I am in a similar position to many other posters in that I have to produce these teaching materials by the end of this week and so cannot wait for Apple to produce updates that will fix these issues.
Some posters recommended the software Screenflow as a solution and I am posting this message to confirm this does provide a good solution. Obviously we shouldn't have to pay $99 to get round a problem that Apple has created from a system that previously worked effortlessly and seamlessly but if you are in a similar position to me then this solution will work. You simply take your Keynote presentation with audio commentary and run it whilst Screenflow is recording in the background and set Screenflow to record the computer audio. This produces a file that can then be exported into a number of different video formats optimised for different viewing platforms (e.g. iPod, iPhone, computer screen). It took 5 minutes to install the software and 5 minutes to learn how to use it. The transitions between slides and the animations within slides are all very smooth and the video and audio is perfectly synchronised.
Screenflow would also be useful in other contexts such as recording video tutorials to teach students how to use software programmes, e.g. aspects of Photoshop, so it will have uses which the Keynote/Quicktime combination couldn't deal with but I still feel aggrieved that I have had to spend $99 on software which I didn't need a few months ago.

I too wasted hours this weekend trying to export narrated KN files, which worked flawlessly last spring semester. I too am needing to get these narrated KN files published for my college students by the end of this week. Perhaps purchasing QuickTime Pro and pasting the audio file works, but that still does not solve the problem of exporting to iPod or YouTube, which continues to give a "not enough disk space" error message regardless of how small or large my presentation is (plenty of GBs on my computer too). Also, when I export to Flash, the movie works, but converting the Flash file results in error messages (saying the file is corrupt. I have tried this many times with new KN presentations).
Apple needs to fix this. I bought iWork'08 specifically for KN's exporting capabilities, otherwise I might as well have just stuck with PPT. I'd like to believe that Apple is working on the issue and that we will not be forced to purchase yet more software. In either case, any information by Apple clarifying this dilemma would be very helpful to and appreciated by all of us. Apple, will this be fixed in the future or should we buy new software?

Problem Converting Keynote Quicktime to WMV with Flip4Mac

HI All
I can see that perhaps one other person may have had this issue. I have a continuous presentation exported from Ketnote as a Quicktime Movie. This plays from end to end without a hitch.
I am using Flip4Mac to convert to WMV, something I have done on many occasions with other QT files without issue (not from Keynote)
The resulting file only exports to the first transition in the Keynote presentation.
I have made the quicktime continuous (so it does not stop at slide changes) I have tried un-checking the sprite track option.
Pretty much every combination but it still always only exports to the first transition.
Any clues ? What am I missing ?
Thanks for your help

Hi
yes it does however I have been messing around over the weekend and have got some of the way to solving this.
Sorry its a bit long and convoluted but here goes.
I extracted the video and audio tracks as suggested below and made a new flattened movie.
I then found a utility to remove all the chapter markers from Ecamm Network.
This removed every chapter (slide) marker.
I then re-saved and made a WMV from that file. It exported until the last transition and stopped !! ( I checked with the orig file)
So I then converted the end section to WMV and joined the 2 WMV files together in Quicktime Pro.
This then played happily from end to end.
BUT you cant then save that as a WMV ! Quicktime exports it again as a .mov
So I thought that .mov must work if I convert that to wmv but no, stops in the exact same place.
There is no sprite track no chapters but there must be some other metadata that is upsetting Flip4Mac
Anyway closer than I was.
Cant import to FCP or use DV as despite setting the frame rate to 25 in Keynote it actually exports at 22 so any 'video' frame rates make the animation very jerky as you would expect.
thanks for you help though everyone

Windows will not show Keynote "Quicktime"

One of my main reasons for getting iWork 08 was Keynote. I was even happier when I found out it would export to Quicktime. So I sorted a powerpoint out and Keynoted it. All went well. I even guessed some things it should do - and it did!
Export to QT and all was well.
Then it came to playing it at work. "Quicktime needs a component that is not available on the server" or something. That's it. A fail at the first hurdle. I can't install software on the work PC and it's running QT 6.5.???? The update says it's fuly up to date. So why didn't it work?
Is there a version of QT that runs off a USB drive (thumb or "proper")?
I tried VLC but it justs runs straight through with no pauses.
I need to get it working. Not that Powerpoint will not do something like it. It just won't look as good!
Thanks

There's a site which will convert videos without having to download software to do it...
http://zamzar.com
...you could try converting from .mov to .wmv (Although I don't know whether it will also run straight through with no pauses.)
An alternative to a USB drive is to put your .mov file on an iPod and connect it to a projector or TV...

Keynote Quicktime conversion to Flash with Sorenson Squeeze

I converted a Keynote file to Quicktime, then used Sorenson for conversion to Flash. This was for downloading to a website which has a flash insert on the admin panel. The conversion went great, but it won't recongize the Flash file, although it plays fine in a flash player. I changed the extension from .sqz to .swf. It imported, but then wouldn't play. Am I missing a step to make sure a squeeze file is swf? I realize this may be slightly off the keynote beam, but I want to have the transitions which the flash converter built in doesn't have. Thanks for any help.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks for taking the time. I have been away. I squeezed a QT file, converted it to flash; it played in a flash player, but when I wanted to upload the file, the webserver wouldnt accept it; and it always registers as a sqz file, instead of swf. I changed the extension, but that made no difference. I will try dropping it into safari and see if that works. (I am using Sorenson because Keynote export to flash does not allow transitions etc.)
I also tried modifying file name in Sorenson. Maybe its a webserver problem. (I find Quicktime actually produces smaller files and that ftping it to the server with a link works best, but flash has more browsers.)
Thanks,

Keynote quicktime garageband....podcast question

hi I am trying to do a project of putting a keynote saved as a quicktime into garageband and adding audio and then compressing it via Share ...sent to itunes etc. It does get smaller.
Also, I can not seem to time my slides in KNote. Any suggestions.
But Are there any experts out there on putting a keynote with narration into garageband. I loose all of the timing control when I send it to quicktime. It seems like a LOT of steps.
Also, putting a narration into keynote is so long. Power Point just lets you record the narration on each slide. So I was putting it into garageband and trying to add the narration podcast style. Any suggestions.

Keys to your problem
I published a podcast in Garageband and then shared
it into my website. All I get is a faded Quicktime
logo and a big white question over the top of it.
Can't seem to get it to run. I've republished and
ftp'd the files back to the non-.mac web server
(www.wish-here.com)
and your audio file name contains spaces:
WYWH Sales Team Greeting.m4a
Most host/ftp server don't allow spaces and special characters in file/folder names.
Also some hosts do not have m4a MIME type set up, therefore m4a file type is ignored.
Check with your host for any restrictions.

Audio drops out on Keynote Quicktime Conversion fairly Quickly

When exporting a presentation W/audio to quicktime, the audio disappears after about 30 seconds. Recording the presentation omn Keynote doesn't seem to help. It only leads to additional complications. Any thoughts, workarounds or Apple people who want to fix it?

Use the custom settings in the format selector in Quicktime export.

Keynote Quicktime Export - No Slideshow Recording

Hello!
I was trying to export my Keynote presentation to a Quicktime Movie. In older versions, it's automatically selected as Slideshow Recording. But now I cannot select this option, it makes the exported Quicktime Movie play like a Movie. Can anyone tell me how to export it as a Quicktime Slideshow? Thanks!

I've been able to perform the copy and add operation after creating a new QT document and copying and pasting the original video into it.

Keynote & Quicktime Pro?

Hey,
I was looking at Quicktime to download the 7.0.3 version and noticed Quicktime Pro and read through some stuff.
I noticed this;
Keynote Delivery
Export your Keynote presentations to QuickTime and play them on Macs or Windows PCs. Go Pro for a truly impressive presentation in full-screen mode.
So can anyone expand on this for me with some explanations or links to tutorials?
Thanks

Grant
Once you've created your Keynote presentation, all you have to do is choose the File menu's Export command. The first option is Quicktime, and you can set several different parameters on how to save your Keynote as a QT movie. You can set it to be interactive (where clicking the mouse acts like it does when using Keynote), or you can set each slide for a certain time limit, and all transitions to certain time limits. I'm not quite sure if you need QT Pro or not to get all of this interactivity since I've always had Pro since version 5. I don't think you do though.
I've used this exporting to post my lectures on our school site so that my students can watch my Keynotes on their PCs without any problem so far this year. It's a handy way to share these files, and has worked flawlessly (unlike the PPT exports, which looked clunky since some of the transitions/effects aren't available in PPT).
Hope this is what you were looking for in an answer!

Export KeyNote -QuickTime

Hello!
Have a problem: I need to export my presentation to show it on PC. Chose QickTime, but I need to control slides during the presentation. And the only opportunity to export is video file. And I need to click from slide to slide. How can I do that?
Thanks a lot to everyone!

anything that plays .mov files other than Keynote just zipped through the slides as though they were each as single frame of a very short video
Previous versions of Keynote had an export to Quicktime with Manual Advance, where the viewer could advance through the slideshow by clicking the mouse or Space bar on the keyboard.
If this did not work for you there was an issue with your system as this worked correctly for most users.

Fade between Keynote & Quicktime Player

OK, so I have searched and discovered that the 'H' key will pause a presentation and switch to the last application (somehow missed that one!), but what I would like to be able to do is fade out the Keynote presentation to reveal a looping full-screen Quicktime movie which has been playing in the background.
(Alternatively, if I could fade in a movie on top of a running Keynote presentation, that would have the same effect)
The Quartz engine should allow such a trick - but I can't find a way to Applescript changes in Keynote's (or QT Player's) alpha level....
Any solutions or possible workarounds?

Thanks Brian - we already have som serious video processing equipment, but want to keep media playback for motion backgrounds (in Quicktime) to one Dual G5, with the ability to leverage Keynote's capabilities on the same machine. We can fade out the Mac signal to a generic background while launching the Keynote presentation, then cut back to the Mac.
I had hoped to not have to do it this way. Surely, if applications such as WindowShade and Geekbind can allow us to access some of the power that is already there then there is some hope??
I agree that cool APPLE fading stuff in the OS would do the trick, like a fade when you Apple-Tab between applications.
Only problem potentially, is that you can't Apple-Tab between applications when Keynote is playing a show...

Keynote- QUicktime- YouTube ... argh

I have created a slideshow of photographs, added in some music and then uploaded the file to YouTube.
1. In Quicktime it plays beautifully
2. On YouTube it shows only the transitions. Since I had each picture showing for five seconds after the transition, you're not getting to see much of the pictures before they dissolve out.
Anyone know how I might solve this problem?

No Sound on KEYNOTE quicktime -everything else plays normal!

Anyone know why this is?
I click on watch keynote on the new iMac, video works, no sound.
My other files play fine.
Thanks!

Hmm, well I see a few have looked and remember on day 1 many were complaining about this...
any clues?

Keynote Quicktime Export

Hello,
I've made a slideshow with smart builds, transitions, titles etc and I've exported it as a quicktime video in Apple Intermediate Codec format and everything went well.
I didn't add music, an AIFF audio file, because I add problems with sync.
I created a DVD with iDVD without any problem but now I'd like to merge the music with the video for Internet distribution and I can't find a way to do it.
I've tried with Quicktime Pro but as I add the music (with copy and add) the video becomes completely white; if I open the document in Final Cut Express and add the audio track, after the rendering the movie is completely black.
Any idea?
Thanks
cheers

Keynote, Quicktime & Flash

Hello,
As QT 7.4 no longer allows Flash to be imported, I am (sigh) actually going to try and build another boot drive that will let me use Flash in Keynote.
Does anyone know what the latest version of QT is that WILL allow Flash 5 import?
Does anyone know what the last version of QT is that Keynote 4.02 can use?
[warning wrong forum question] Does anyone know if it's possible to boot from a flash drive? It's kind of silly to have to attach a Firewire drive to a laptop to give presentations...
I'm hoping a clean install of 10.5 will do the trick...
Many thanks...
