Keynote to Power point question

Hi all, I just made a keynote presentation of a ipod ad with music(one song) for a school project. I went to file and export so I could save it as a power point file so the teacher could play it for the class on his PC and then through a projector. I just tested it on my dad's PC and the presentation is OK but there is no MUSIC, how do I fix this problem. I need it for tomorrow Morn!!
Thank you in advance
Jess
Oh I also tryed exporting to a QT file and no music either?
and yes in the inspector the music is there on both thnx

Keynote's exporting is pretty screwed up at the moment, unfortunately, with respect to audio. Try checking the original audio file to see if it's an MP3.
The safest way to ensure the presentation works across platforms would be to use a QuickTime file. As you found, audio export causes problems. There are some workarounds discussed in this forum that should help. In your case, you should be able to export the presentation without audio, then add the audio file separately, using QuickTime Pro or iMovie.

RE: Keynote to Power Point; timing off

I created a file in KEYNOTE with multiple transitions on the BULLET POINTS. When I EXPORTED to POWER POINT then sent to my client the transition timing was off. For example, a TWO SECOND DISSOLVE translated into 1/2 SECOND. Is this a systemic problem with KEYNOTE?
Thanks, Andy

how do i covert keynote to power point?
In Keynote version 6: File > Export > Powerpoint
In Keynote version 5: Share > Export >Powerpoint

How to export keynote to power point when sharing with other people

I had to manipulate a master's of someone else on keynote, record my slides and then post it to a discussion board, it kept removing my recording when I exported it to power point for presentation. I could not do it and I tried everything renaming it with no characters. Help!!!

PowerPoint does not support recorded presentations when exporting the recording is removed.
You will need to use a Keynote presentation without the recorded timings or usePowerPoint, Open Office or Libra Office to author a presentation with individual timings on each slide.

Exporting from Keynote to Power Point

I live in Kenya in East Africa and run photographic safaris. I use Canon digital equipment (still photography) and at the end of each safari set up a slide show of the better images taken on the safari and give it to the guests. I present my images using power point as this seems to be the most universal way to present slides.
I own a 17 inch Power Book G4 and also a 17 inch Mac Book Pro. I use Aperture on both Macs.
On my new Mac Book Pro I have problems. After editing in Aperture, I then export my versions ( in any format - Tiff, Jpeg ) to a file and then import them from that file to power point. Power point seems to remove all the punch of the images making them look very flat and hardly worth looking at. Why?
I have managed to by pass this problem on my Power book G4 by exporting images from Aperture as Tiffs, these seem to work quite well when they are imported into Power point, except the files are huge.
What this means is that I own a Mac Book Pro but don't use it as it can't do what is required. I hope I am doing something wrong or that there is an alternative method to presenting slides.
I have Keynote, which works well. Sadly most of our guests are PC users and so would like the slides in a PC format. Keynote allows you to convert to power point, but here again the picture once in power point looks flat, Why?
Is there a better method than Power point to present slides? In a presentation I like to have text, single and multiple images per slide.
I have used iDVD, but there are not enough pixels on a TV screen (when showing still images) to give you a punchy clear picture, or so I am told.
I would love any suggestions to help with this problem.

Hi Ngiri
It's not really clear to me how you or your guests are assessing your "flat" photos - on a computer screen, via a video projector, on a TV?
Most of my photo slide shows are created using DVDStudioPro - look fantastic. Distributed as a PAL DVD "best viewed on a TV".
Lately I have tried some photo presentations using Keynote, and then exported to Powerpoint. Photos looked fine, but PP is unacceptable. I then tried exporting from PP straight to PDF. Using a PDF for a presentation was a revelation - photos look very good. The PDF is a small cross platform file.However, I still prefer DVDStudioPro, but it takes much longer to create a DVD.
Have you actually tried Keynote straight to iDVD? Or a slideshow created within iDVD? (Lots of tutorials available).

???I don't understand why anyone would tell you this???
Of course, Aperture could be the problem...or your Mac Book Pro is incorrectly setup.

Error message when exporting to Power Point

Hi,
I'm trying to export my Keynote to Power Point. This is a project that originated in Power Point and I jazzed up with Keynote. But when I export the progress bar almost finishes then I get a message saying, "Error: Out of Memory". Any ideas of what my issue is?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1GB RAM

I built a completely new (I thought) theme using a .jpg figure for background, and a Keynote selected white foreground. Spent hours getting the title and body boxes formatted exactly as before. (Every time I select a new theme, I loose the text framing & formatting.)
This did not export. Even 1 blank slide did not export.
Other difference: I am using a 540 px by 720 px slide size. I don't know how I wound up there.
This is getting ridiculous. My client must have .ppt files. I can export them as .png slides, then paste each one into .ppt slides (blank). All capability of PowerPoint is gone. A rather sorry workaround.
This was all done with Keynote 2.0.2. I sure hope Keynote 3.0 exports better than this.

Outdated keynote? What to open power point docs with?

This is my second Mac and it didn't come with Keynote like my old mac did but I had some of my stuff transferred to my new computer from my old one. My old Keynote doesn't work with Snow Leopard and this computer. Do we have any program in this computer that can open power point documents?? When I get a email with a power point attachment I can't even open it anymore.
I have a year of One on One I got with this computer so I can learn more about this mac than I did my last one but I'm about an hour away from the closest mac store to set up any of these appointments. I am trying to watch some of the videos that I have access to with my One on One but nothing I have found so far addresses this question I have.
Thanks for any help.

I think he was referring to the part where you said you thought the $ you paid for your Mac entitled you to an app to read powerpoint files.
You can ask Apple for that here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html <
I know what he meant. But I think I have a legitimate complaint. Nothing more frustrating than to get a document that I can't open. Instead of garage band or Chess, maybe an app a little more useful. So your feedback link is very much appreciated!

New to apple and wondering if using keynote is easier than power point.

Hello all,
I have only been using os x for about 6 months, and I was wondering if using keynote is easier than power point? I am in school so I need to know if keynote will save in ppt format. The school that I go to only uses MS office 97 to 2004 format for all docs and power points. Is using keynote that much different?

i find keynote MUCH easier in almost all areas. it did take me a little learning in the beginning. the main thing to know is that apple uses a floating pallet call "inspector" to control just about all the details of the presentation. they also have a "formatting bar" which is conceptually similar to the formatting bars microsoft uses in the previous versions of office (font size, etc...).
the basic entry for slides is the same, where one just types into the fields on the slides. what i find much better is the control i have in the "inspector" to fine tune anything. i've gotten completely dependent on keynotes "staging" which is how one makes the slides animate. if i have a series of bullets and a diagram, i use the staging to get the diagram to be revealed in stages and to get the bullets appear one at a time in sync with the diagram i'm explaining. nothing is more boring for an audience to have someone just stand up, thru up a slide with 100 words and read the text bullets.
i find keynote to be much easier to develop diagrams or to copy and paste in a PDF picture. then add the staging effects i need to develop the story to explain the diagram or picture. it does take a little learning how to do it the first couple times. but the interface is consistent and it's not hard to learn it.
the only aspect i find a little easier in powerpoint is the indenting style, which is controlled in one of the editing buttons in office 11 and before. keynote controls the indenting from the "inspector" instead of having a little button in the formatting bar. but in every other way, i find keynote to be MUCH easier to use. and it has other features that powerpoint doesn't have. plus iwork is very inexpensive compared to microsoft office. finally, if you are near an apple store, they have free seminars on iWork fairly often. the 1st time i used keynote, i went to the apple store workshop and got a few answers. just see how easy it is to get person to person help for microsoft office...
the only other game in town are the various releases of the open source programs, "open office" and "neo office". they are free, also read and write ppt files, but are a little harder to use than keynote and don't have as many features.
anyway, that's my experience.
good luck!

Need to play Power Point Presentation with Audio in Keynote

My wife and I have lots of Power Point slide shows with audio from the days when we were windows users. We have downloaded a trial version of iWork 09 and would like to know how we can play these .pps files that contain audio in Keynote.
We appreciate any help that anyone could provide as we would much prefer to use Keynote/iWork than MS Office.

That's interesting about NeoOffice. I keep a copy of it up to date but don't use it too often.
This may be too involved for the OP but I would play the file in NeoOffice and record the audio with WIreTap or similar, export it as an MP3 file and then import it into Keynote.
WIreTap can have its input source set to Mac Audio so that it will record from any application that is capable of producing sound.

How to import power point sound on keynote ?

how can I import power point diaporamas with the sound on keynote ?

Sorry, Adobe Reader only reads PDF files, not PowerPoint files.
However, if you bought Keynote for about US $9.99 in the App Store, you could open PowerPoint files.

Portrait power point not formatting correctly in keynote

I am moving from a pc to a mac. Most of the work that I would have created in pages on a mac was created in power point. From what I can tell is that keynote doesn't handle portrait mode. I really don't want to spend hours reformatting all my files. Is there an easy solution to this issue?
Thanks!

Most of the work that I would have created in pages on a mac was created in power point.
Pages is a text creation tool from Apple used to create printed paper output, not for creating presentations.
PowerPoint is a presentation tool from Microsoft used to create screen based presentations.
Keynote is a presentation tool from Apple, used to create screen based presentations.
From what I can tell is that keynote doesn't handle portrait mode.
Keynote can present presentations in either; portrait, view or square formats; Inspector > Document >Document > Slide Size > Custom Slide Size
I really don't want to spend hours reformatting all my files
If you have existing PowerPoint files they can be imported into Keynote and saved as Keynote files in whatever size format they were created in.

How edit text from a MS Power Point thats now in keynote?

how to edit text in Keynote from a file that came from MS Power Point 2010?

A Powerpoint file imported into Keynote is converted to a Keynote file.
All text functions are therefore available:
single click to insert the cursor
double click on a word to select a word
treble click to select a line
typing on a selected word will change the text

Will my recording slideshow on keynote translate well as a power point on a PC?

Hello, I'm creating a power point presentation while narrating it using the" record slideshow" option on keynote. I will need to turn it in a for a letter grade. However my professor will be using her power point program to view this presentation, and I was just wondering whether or not my voice narration would be transferred over?
Thank you.

The best information is in the Keynote user manual from Page 107.
Be aware that many users are having problems playing back Keynote with narration, especially in Mountain Lion.
Additionally, the links to media files are lost when exporting from Keynote, therefore the narration will have to be imported into Powerpoint again. I never use Keynote to export to PowerPoint if there is video or audio involved, it just does not work properly, I therefore work in PowerPoint directly. If you don't have PowerPoint, download Open Office for Mac, its every bit as good, and being freeware it costs nothing.

Date Labels in Keynote compared to Power Point

I am used to Power Point where when I create a that has dates on the X axis I can have the labels shown for each 1 year or each 1 week. In Keynote, it seems like I can only either auto select or select each "x" categories. This is OK except when there are 366 days in a year or you want to do one label for each quarter and there are differing number of days in a quarter. Any thoughts other than deleting the date labels except the ones I want to use?

PowerPoint does not have a "slideshow recording" feature, therefore the recorded sound can't be included.
You would need to record a separate narration using Quicktime, then use PowerPoint or Libra Office to add the sound to the PowerPoint file.
Libra is an open source freeware application and can be downloaded from their website.

When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I solve this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
