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?

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,

  • 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?

  • From Keynote to YouTube 1280 x 720 HD

    Hello,
    I'm struggling to directly export from Keynote to YouTube on HD definition, namely 1280 x 720 my presentation...
    The Keynote menu seems to only offer 640 x 360 or 480 x 272
    Any method, is it possible or just blocked by Apple ?
    Thank you in advance, Albert

    I've tried this before but it does not work unfortunately.
    What I mean here, for some reason Keynote will create some time sync anomaly between audio and video, then when uploading to YouTube, it will reject the file or make awful result.
    So far, the only working method I've foudn to export from Keynote to YouTube is to use SEND sub-menu in Keynote. It works fine except I can NOT send 1280x720, it just restricts to 640 x 360 or 480 x 272

  • Quicktime (& YouTube & Monkey mag) all broken all of a sudden

    Hi, I have an iMac 20" Intel, running OSX 10.4.9. Yesterday everything seemed fine with my Mac, but today Quicktime (and pretty much any embedded video playing within Safari) has broken. The only difference I can think of between then & now is that I installed Delibar, the toolbar menu system for accessing del.icio.us bookmarks, and the Social Bookmarks plugin for QuickSilver, which may or may not be a red herring.
    When I try to view files on YouTube or in Monkey Magazine (a weekly men's mag along the lines of Maxim or FHM, published online using a flash-based reader called Cerosmedia) the videos play for a couple of seconds without any sound, then freeze - no more gets downloaded or played. Returning the video to the start & waiting doesn't fix it as it used to. Strangely I can still play the .AVIs I took of my son in his school play in Quicktime.
    As a precaution I got rid of QuickTimePlayer.app & reinstalled from a .dmg I downloaded fresh from Apple. I did the same with Flip4Mac too. No difference. Also, when I open up QuickTime, it doesn't play the intro vids, it just skips over them to the start page & then when you click on a video link it tells you An Error Occurred (well, yes, bud what kind of error?) and gives a reference number which varies each time the error happens (once per attempt to open a video), which I assume it to record the incident rather than to describe its cause...
    Can anyone tell me, how does one completely rip out and reinstall all of QuickTime and all of Flip4Mac so that when it's reinstalled it'll copy all files to your HD without leaving any old ones intact? Or is there an easier solution?
    I'm a bit of a Mac newbie having only had them since a year or so ago (love them btw) but I'm quite comfortable dealing with Unix.

    Apple Discussions!
    Did you repair permissions and/or restart after you installed Delibar & the Social Bookmarks plugin for QuickSilver?
    Also, see Knowledge Base Article KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
    Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it (maybe open a GarageBand document) and then quit out of the application.
    If none of the above works please post back.

  • 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

  • IMovie09 - QuickTime - Youtube problem

    When I had my G5 I could upload videos to Youtube with no problem, but he went into a coma so I got a new iMac with iMovie 09...
    I made a test video, just 28 seconds, 5 ordinary clips, a little audio added but nothing else and saved as QuickTime movie, then uploaded to Youtube and it plays fine and the quality is reasonably good.
    So then I made a 5:26 minute action movie, lots of short clips, some with faster or slower speed, some combining green screen and picture in picture playing on a clip, credits playing on picture in picture in a clip, lots of audio pieces, some transitions, about everything I could think of to combine into one movie (and it actually makes sense and works together in this movie).
    So after all that effort I saved the movie to QuickTime then uploaded to Youtube and parts of it plays with a jerky or skipped frame quality. The oddest thing is the scenes that are the most complicated like green screen with picture in picture play fine, it's mainly the scenes that the speed has been changed that are jerky but also some ordinary scenes with no changes or transitions or anything.
    I looked at the QuickTime movie of it on my Mac (I should have done that before uploading) and it was jerky too but I think slightly less.
    Then I uploaded again to Youtube using iMovie to upload, that version was worse, it kept hanging up then suddenly jumping forward skipping parts of the movie, and this was after the movie was done processing on Youtube.
    So I went back to iMovie and tried saving it several times with different settings in QuickTime but they all were jerky. By this time I'm not too happy, all that time spent making my action movie (several weeks), but I decide to try one more thing and I drag the original QuickTime version of it to iDVD to test and it plays smoothly! I burned a DVD and watched it on my TV and it's smooth there too.
    How does a QuickTime movie play good in iDVD but not on the desktop or Youtube?
    I just have the free version of QuickTime, will QuickTime Pro fix this problem?
    Any suggestions about what else to try? I'm getting frustrated.

    Using the QuicktimeX 'share'
    Have you tried using Quicktime 7? It's located inside the Utility folder.
    Have you tried the YouTube Help website? There is also a Help forum link on this site.
    If all else fails, post in the QuickTime Forums area. Quite a few Quicktime experts over there.

  • 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 to youtube not working

    I selected Share/Send To/YouTube and a window opens saying the Keynote file is being converted to movie... after a few minutes a screen says the conversion is completed... I checked my youtube account but the converted Keynote file is not there.
    Is there a way to verify a Keynote actually does successfully convert to YouTube?
    Is there a way to use Share to YouTube to my desktop?
    Thanks.

    After a number of attempts I'm going to export as mov and post that way.
    Also if I export as html I expected it to run automatic but the only option is manual. ps. (the exported text file is missing the suffix .html, so you gotta add it)

  • 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.

  • 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 - 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.

  • 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!
