Keynote to QT to DVD

I have made a presentation in Keynote (1366 x 768 which is the resolution of the Plasma it will be viewed on). I export to Quicktime using 'Full Quality, Large' setting. Played in Qucktime it looks good. I then burn to DVD using Toast. There is a huge loss of quality when played back from DVD - artefacts, blurring mostly. I need this to be as high quality as possible. Any suggestions?

Is it interactive, or continuous play? If it's interactive I'm not sure what you should do, other than play it on a very fast machine. If it's a straight through animation you could take it into iMovie to have a chance to change the music, and then onto iDVD to make a DVD-Video that will play smoothly. You could try from Keynote to iDVD direct that may work.
Another option you have, which should help an interactive version too, is to export from Keynote again, only this time choose Custom from the Formats menu. In the Custom/Video Settings you'll see a data rate option off to the right, which is set to Automatic. Change that to manual, and type in 1000 in the box.
My theory is that the automatic data rate is so high that it's too much for your machine. By typing in 1000 you should still have a good looking image, but it'll be much less demanding on your machine. If that makes it work better, but you want to improve the picture, go back and type in a higher number, say 1500 or 2000.

  • Recording Keynote to Quicktime or DVD: Failure had to use iMovie

    after several failures at recordning where the resulting QT was way out of sync with the narration, and involving Geniuses and Creatives at the Atlanta Apple Store, I had to do it all in iMovie.
    My presentation was 30 slides, 4 had video clips, 4 where Photobooth movies of me with backdrop were used. Whenever we did the record Keynote to QT to DVD the narration got our of sync in the QT movie. The narration was in perfect sync in the Keynote but got out of sync in QT. Apple Store experts called Cupertino, found there was some issue in the Keynote-QT transfer.
    The workaround that they suggested and which worked was exporting slides into iMovie, the doing the narration there. It was a pain but did have the advantage of being able to edit narration a slide at a time, that is after I recorded and wanted to say something differently I just went back and re-recorded the slide.
    Hint: export slides at max resolution
    Anyone else have this issue?

  • How do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides?

    how do I show my keynote file on a dvd player and control the slides with the skip or next chapter command on the dvd remote? when I export to quicktime, it changes slides on a timed basis. I want the chapter button on a dvd remote to act like a mouse click would.

    Hi Robert
    You have to export the individual slides from your Keynote presentation, and then import them into your DVD application.
    I use DVDStudioPro - it works fine this. I'm sure iDVD will be OK.Going via QT has never worked for me.

  • Keynote + movies - burn to dvd

    Hi all,
    I have a Keynote presentation that includes QT movies on some of the slides.
    My first problem was to launch a transition only after the movie was played, which I solved by timing the video and asking keynote to do the transition after that time (I found that solution a little weird.. I wished I could just say "do transition after movie is played, but welll...)
    Anyhow, I wish to transfer the presentation onto dvd. When I export to iDVD or QT, the options presented only allow me to set the same time between transition for ALL the slides, which bothers me a lot, for obvious reasons.
    Any bright ideas to help me solve that problem ?
    I'm starting to wonder whether I have to move to DVD SP and redo my whole thing with scripts and slides and movies (imagine my excitement)....
    Help would be greatly appreciated since I need this project ot be done by next Wednesday...

    You can playback on the computer, an iPod or Apple TV or back up to a hard drive, CD etc.
    But making a DVD (like you think of renting from Blockbuster) against the rules (though a bit unclear since you can back up your purchases)

  • Keynote good for producing self running DVD advertisements

    I'm thinking of using Keynote to produce a DVD which is set to repeat and has pages that fade from one and to another of advertisements for local businesses. this would then be played in say a post office etc. I'm guessing Keynote would be perfect?
    what are the limitations for me? will resolution be an issue?
    I'm wondering what I set the resolution in it so that I get it right for when it goes and exports to imovie etc? any ideas?
    anything else I should be considering that might not be ideal for iwork to do this type of project?
    thanks in advance

    This can work as long as you have Quicktime Pro and Toast 8.
    If you have QT pro, you can export your Keynote using Animation settings for export. That's the only way I've seen to get optimal quality. It does make for long exports and large files, though.
    Then, drag your QT into Toast 8 and let it do the encoding. iMovie will just mangle anything except pure video.

  • How can I play Power Point DVDs that were created on my mac 7-10  years ago?

    I cannot play DVDs that were created 7-10 years ago using Power Point for Mac.

    What do you mean Keynote "son't open the DVDs"? That doesn't make sense. It's not up to Keynote to open the DVDs. The file that are ON the DVDs, yes. The DVDs, no. What kind of files are they, exactly?
    Try downloading Open Office and see if you can open them with Impress, the presentation program included with the Open Office package.
    If that won't work, you can get a 1 month trial of Office365 from Microsoft. It's $9.99 a month after the trial ends.

  • 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?

  • Keynote/iDVD

    Can you burn a Keynote presentation onto a DVD?
    If so, how?
    (I know that this should be in a different forum but for some reason this is the only one it will let me post in)

    I'm not real familiar with Keynote but can you export it as a .mov or .mpeg or something similar? I would assume if you can make the presentation as a movie file you wouldn't have any trouble bringing it into iMovie or iDVD. At least if that's what you're after to make a motion DVD of your project correct? Otherwise if you're just after the file you could export it in its native format and burn it on DVD.

  • When connect appletv to tv it is asking to check the resolution and change the resolution

    First time when I am connecting appletv to SamsungTV it is asking to check the resolution and change the resolution.

    Keynote can not burn DVD discs, nor can it compile a video DVD project
    If you have iDVD installed on your Mac, You can export the Keynote presentation to iDVD to create a video DVD:  
    from within Keynote:     Share > Send to > iDVD

  • Recording dvd from keynote

    I have a keynote presentation that is timed to music, words, and photos. I have a dvd - recorder (burner) on my windows computer. Is it possible to connect my apple to my windows computer to burn a dvd so that I don't lose the integrity of my presentation? If so; how?
    Thank you!
    Debbie

    I hate to have to tell you this, but it is entirely impossible to write ANY Mac slide presentation to DVD in the form it was created, irrespective of how it was created.
    I have tried every method suggested and there is always a problem. I created a slide show in iPhoto, but this won't export to DVD, and if exported to Quicktime, the aspect ratio of the photos is not maintained.
    I tried exporting to iDVD, but it won't retain the soundtrack that runs through the iPhoto presentation; there is a limitation on the number of pictures that can be inserted in a chapter, and the application is incredibly clunky anyway.
    I created the slide show in Keynote and it was great, but that won't export to DVD either, and the various export options are all completely usless for one reason or another. For example, the timing of the slides and accompanying soundtrack is critical, but Quicktime imposes its own timing on a slide display, so the soundtrack goes out of sync.
    Altogether, and with great regret, I have to say that all these Mac products are useless except when they can be run on a Mac. It would appear that Apple has deliberately made it impossible to export to a media that is the standard for visual display. I still can't believe that people I thought of as being the best in business could be so brainless.
    My absolutely final attempt will be to try and export it to PowerPoint and hope that Microsoft have been a bit more sensible. But I bet there will be problems with this as well.

  • I can't get transitions to work when burning a DVD from Keynote

    While trying to burn a DVD+RW from keynote, using Quicktime 7.5.5, I get a message stating warnings were detected during validation. Nowhere does it tell me where the errors are, or what to fix. If I burn the disk some of the transitions do not work. They freeze, or one slide shows through another. When I went through preview before burning everything worked fine, but when the DVD is placed in a player the transitions do not work. I removed all the transitions, then reburned the disc and things worked fine, but the presentation lacked pizazz.

    Which USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
    it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website.

  • Can I launch a DVD from keynote?

    I'm doing a presentation and as part of the presentation I need to show a video.  The video is on DVD.  Is there a way to launch the video directly from keynote without having to minimize keynote and open DVD player and go through all the steps to start the video?

    Apparently, there's no such option. One reason is, when you launch a DVD, the Keynote presentation will have to give way to another application (DVD Player, or whatever you use to play back DVDs). So, there's no way to seamlessly integrate a DVD videostream into a Keynote slideshow.
    However, you can convert the DVD into a video file using a free converter, for instance HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php). Then you just insert the video inside the Keynote slide, and set it to play back on click.
    There are a few advantages to converting the DVD into a video-file: 1) you can convert only a fragment that is needed; 2) you have full control over the quality and file-size; 3) the video will be integrated into the presentation, so once it is over, you can proceed with the next slide without minimizing Keynote.
    Note: when converting the DVD video with HandBrake, use MP4 as output format and Mpeg4 encoder. An easy way to check if the result is correct is to open the resulting file with QuickTime. If QT plays it back and it's OK, then the file will also be played back in Keynote

  • Making a DVD from Keynote

    This should be a simple process, but I can't find out how to do it. (I get it to work after hours of trial and error, usually, but this time I'm stuck)
    I make a Keynote show - beautiful photos, text, etc - but without the music since I've been told the best way to add the sound is to make a movie first and THEN use that to make the DVD.
    I exported the Keynote presentation to Quicktime (iMovie wouldn't take the actual Keytime presentation), and then moved that to iMovie. But it won't let me move the clip below to actually make a movie and add sound.
    And I tried moving the Quicktime presentation (of course no sound in this version, but the original has sound) directly to iDVD. It appears on the Media/Movie page but I can't figure where to go from there. Nothing happens.
    Sigh. Any help would be appreciate.

    This actually is an addendum to my own email since somehow half the message got dropped. Sorry.
    Basically I've created a Keynote presentation (lovely photos, text, etc) with the intent of making a DVD to share with my mother who is bedridden.
    (In the "olden days" I would just make a slide show in iPhoto, add sound, and burn. But I love whaat Keynote can do, it's just figuring out how to get THAT presentation to a DVD I can play in a regular DVD player.
    I didn't include sound on the version I exported to Quicktime since I was told that the best way to make the DVD was to make a Movie first so I could better adjust the sound. So I exported the soundless one to Quicktime and then moved that to iMovie, but couldn't get it to let me move the clip below.
    I also tried moving the Quicktime version directly to iDVD. It is there on the Media/Movie page, but I can't get anything to happen after that. (I could easily use the version of my Keynote presentation with sound, if it would let me,, but I understand there is a problem with that too....)
    Again, any suggestions would be helpful.

  • How to import DVD-R movie into Keynote?

    I just transferred a video (with audio) from a VHS tape to a DVD-R, using a stand-alone DVD Recorder. Now I need to import this into Keynote. I've tried opening/playing the DVD with iMovie iDVD, and Quicktime but they will not recognize it as a readable file. The only application that I have that even will play the disc is DVD Player.
    Any suggestions how I can get this movie into my Keynote presentation will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    as log as there aren't copyright issues aren't a problem, something like Handbrake should work to convert the file to something keynote can read.
