More Keynote Export woes

I just finished a Keynote presentation for my parent's 60th Anniversary. It looks great and runs great in Keynote '06. I try to export it to Quicktime, and it exports about half of it and then hangs up on a slide transition. I have tried everything! Can anyone help? Thanks

I've this same problem only when I try to export with no compression. Exporting using H.264 works fine, however, that's not what i need. Sooo... I thought maybe it was the codec. I went on the web and checked out other applications and came across SheerVideo. Looked awesome. I got the free trial download and exported my 17 second keynote file using the SheerVideo options (Y'CbCr 8bv 4:4:4,RGB 8b, Y'CbCr 8bw 4:2:2) and it won't even begin to export saying I've not enough disk space. I've 300 Gig free and ready to take that file on, so I don't get it.

  • Keynote export woes

    Hi,
    I'm putting together a small (2min) presentation/promo which uses Keynote transitions and animations synced to music. When I playback from Keynote, the timings for all the elements are fine. However, when I export as a quicktime, all of the transitions/animations speed up and are then obviously out-of-sync with the music... Has anyone else had this problem and if so, have a work-around/fix? D

    Okay, so my work around endedup hinging on this:
    Do not rely on autoplay timing (meaning assigning intro & exits times to your actions/builds within each slide).
    If I export as an .mov without doing "recorded timing" I got the problem with the video playing slightly faster than the audio (hugely frustrating).
    If I recorded the presentation by just letting it play through my preset builds & transitions, then exported an .mov based on "recorded timing" it was interesting. The total run time was now correct, the slide transitions occurred at the correct time but each slide's individual events/builds played slightly sped up and then there were pauses where the the movie essentially let the audio catch up before the next slide. So overall the audio being out of sync wasn't as bad. It was obviously more noticeable the longer the slide was. Still not a usable end-product.
    Finally, I went through and changed my assigned build/action times to on-click events rather than assigned delays. Then I "recorded" the presentation and manually queued each event in sync with the audio. Then I exported a .mov (again based on "recorded timing"). This exported the proper movie, with the entire run-time length, and individual events were kept in sync with the audio.
    sigh... this whole export issue created a lot more work that it was supposed to be. hopefully this saves someone else some time!

  • More epub export woes

    I've moved back to CS4 to create and export my ebooks, since CS5 has the [very annoying] bug of failing to properly export intra book document hyperlinks.  Unfortunately, though CS4 seems to make better interactive epub files, I'm running into some other problems.  First off, every time I export a book to Digital Editions, ID CS4 crashes, often reporting damaged files on a restart--some of them so damaged that I can't reopen them and have to recreate them from scratch. The crash appears to be happening as the epub export is completing because I usually find the epub file after the crash and it will open and all of it is there. This has happened with 3 ebooks in a row . . . every time I do a book export to Digital Editions, CS4 crashes.
    Another strange thing I just ran across is the inaccurate export of typographical quote marks.  The weird thing about it is, that it can be correct in one book document and replaced by "Äô" in another book document in the same book.  I opened both docs, and they are using the same glyph and fonts, so I can't figure out why it's right in one place and wrong in another in the same ebook file.
    Anyone have any ideas about either of these issues?  I have fully patched CS4 (and CS5--though that helps little with the unfixed hyperlink bug) on an Intel Mac running 10.5.8.
    While I wait on any replies, I'm going to try the exports from my Windows 7 laptop to see if I have the same problems there.

    That was the first thing I did but copying the text to note pad and stripping all styles got me right back where I started. The strange thing is the encoding can be fine in some chapters and displayed wrong in others. whether it's a single file separated by first levels or multiple files in a book file.
    I've been told it's the reader's fault but that means ADE (and subsequent readers that use ADE would all see the bad encoding. In another forum I was told to add:
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> in the <head> of the document. I did, but it didn't change things.
    One thing I noticed was when exporting you get varying results of the encoding if you sort by unordered and ordered lists as opposed to convert to text.
    One will provide less encoding hassles. Anyway my only solution so far is manually editing the code to the html codes. Find and replace.

    It might be a worthwhile project to export the epub and convert the epub to epub in Calibre and see if Calibre reincodes it correctly.

  • Keynote export options using Quicktime and iDVD

    I am not happy with the output of HD Keynotes exported to iDVD...they work well with triggering the events with a click but the fonts look blocky. There is no way to upgrade the export settings to improve the quality.
    I'm trying to squeeze as much out of Keynote as possible... and it seems I'm hitting a few problems.
    Exporting the same Keynote to QT gets the clarity I want...because I can select the higher settings...and I can even "click" to trigger the events in QT Pro on my MBP... but as soon as I burn it in iDVD the clicks fail.
    I am hoping to combine the clickability of the export to iDVD movie with the quality of the export to QT movie.
    And I am soooo close.... I have discovered that the "clickability" seems to be controlled by a layer in the file called a Presentation Pause Track (found when I look at the movie properties).
    Have you come across this before?
    My plan was to extract the track and then add it to the hi res QT movie!!! I burnt the resulting QT to iDVD and the clicks were there!!! But the were all out of sync!
    I discovered the Presentation Pause Track is a different length than the QT export... and even when I've subsequently added the PPtrack using "add to selection and scale" it is still out of whack!
    Your help, guidance, commiserations would be appreciated...
    Surely there is a way to have my HD Quicktime cake and eat it too!

    Cheers Brian
    I'm green with envy re the 8 core Mac Pro!
    To add to the info: I'm trying to find out how you can export to QT and iDVD and get a 2 movies of the same length... which should allow me to copy the pause track over and not lose sync with the clicks.
    My latest test involves a 2 page Keynote (HD res) and the resulting QT export gave me a movie of 43 seconds while the iDVD export came out 57 seconds...
    That's with the default settings for slide and build duration of 5 and 2 sec. (could that represent 2 pages of 5 + 2 sec?)
    iDVD lets you alter these settings but to a minimum of 1 sec for each... QT export doesn't let you change these except for a self playing movie... so I'm now testing a self paced QT set at 1 and 1 sec and an iDVD set to 1 and 1 and see what happens...
    Do you think I'm on the right track or am I wasting my time?
    At least 8 cores might help reach theat conclusion a little faster!!

  • Importing a Keynote export

    I put a file from an keynote export 1024x768 into the timeline. FCP tells me to use clip settings, Along with this an audio file that in keynote repeated twice. The audio file I had to put in twice to equal length of visual clip.  I say yes. The problem is when I export as a quicktime movie there is not picture and audio only runs for about 15secs. The movie should be 5min. What should I set movie for. I used default for quicktime using DVCpro NTSC. Should I change to H264?
    I am trying to put this movie online as a streamed file video/audio together as one file.

    1024x768 is not a standard production format used anywhere in the video industry.
    NTSC is 720x486.
    Redo your Keynote to reflect that or use one of the HD pixel dimensions such as 1280x720 or 1920x 1080. Yes, you will probably have to rebuild the Keynote slides. Dont forget to take safe area constraints into account if this is going to be shown on a TV or projection system.
    Do not, under any circumstances use the H264 codec to edit with.

  • I'm editing ppts in Keynote exporting back to PPTs and loosing "hyperlinks" to movie files

    I'm editing ppts in Keynote but have to use them as exported ppts to teach college in a Windows-PC environment
    Keynote 5.3
    MacPro OSX 10.75
    SUBJECT:
    Loss of ppt function after opening in keynote then exporting as ppt
    Educational ppts (Powerpoints) from Pearson play movies using PowerPoint or Powerpoint Viewer via a button located on some slides if the movies are located in the same folder as the ppt.
    If I open such a ppt in keynote and immediately export it as a ppt, the ability to play the movie is lost; the click on the button just advances the slide instead.
    Is there a preference in Keynote that might be set differently to prevent this behavior and allow playing of the movie from within the Powerrpoint application.
    Note that the size of the file (via Get Info) is exactly the same after exporting the ppt FROM Keynote 5.3

    Thank you Gary,
    I did just that last night;
    Select the graphic object ("Play" Btn").
    Open the Powerpoint "tools" floating pallet wd.
    Open the "Hyperlink" 'tab'
    select 'link to file'
    then browse (open finder wd) to find and select the movie file.
    Click "Open" and a powerpoint function returns the full path to the file and associates it with the "mouseUp" msg handler within the script of the "Play" Btn, which I expect essentially sends a doubleClick to the movie file ( ie. opens it) and it will then play in a new window from within some other application like Quicktime or Media Player if that other application exists on your computer. (I'm getting a (sandbox?) dialogue window first, telling me,  asking me something) that needs to be dealt with. I'm using Powerpoint for Mac and OSX 10.7.5.
    (I expect that will not occur using a PC and some version of Windoz in the PC ed conference room environment or using emulated Windoz 7 within the Parallels 8 application on the MacPro, but I have not tried that since I only have the Powerpoint viewer installed in that Windoz 7 system as of the moment.
    I've never really used Powerpoint or Keynote until recently because I have used my own presentation application created in Supercard which of course is much more flexible; from the ability to utilze windows of any kind or number on any slide, to all the power of unix via shell scripts and a huge set of functions native to the Supercard suite of stable developement tools.
    Any suggestions how best to integrate movies into straight Keynote presentations ?
    Thank you again Gary,

  • Need some help with Keynote export

    I want to create an swf file from Keynote that will be used in a looped Powerpoint slideshow. It will be no longer than 1 minute long.
    I create the file and export as a .mov.
    Then I used Visualhub to convert to an .swf. People have had lots of issues playing it
    Then I converted the .mov file to .flv with Adobe Media Encoder, opened it in Flash and exported as .swf.
    More problems.
    I really like the ease of use and effects in keynote but the exporting is really bad.
    Are there any alternatives programs for the mac.
    I have already had a look at Sliderocket but it is web based which makes it slower and put images in slides a lot longer.
    I really need to find a way of making decent swf files with good effects etc

    Dave,
    The issue seems to be with Flash and how it is converting the QuickTime movie, rather than an issue with Keynote. If the QuickTime movie plays fine in QuickTime Player, then the export from Keynote to QuickTime is fine and indeed the issue is in the conversion from QuickTime to Flash.
    While this is not a forum for PowerPoint, check out the supported multimedia formats for PowerPoint - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA012303251033.aspx. Flash is not listed. So while it might play, you might consult Microsoft.
    I would recommend using one of the following products to convert your QuickTime file to a PowerPoint supported format, other than Flash:
    Flip4Mac
    http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    Studio, Studio Pro, or Studio Pro HD. You can convert your QuickTime movies to WMV a fully supported format by PowerPoint. You can export to QuickTime and then use the Flip4Mac application to convert.
    MPEG Streamclip
    http://www.squared5.com
    You can convert to various formats including AVI and MPG, both which PowerPoint supports. This is application can be found for both Mac and PC at.
    Finally, a company does make Flash plugin tools "Flash Ready" for PowerPoint, due to the possible issues of adding Flash to PowerPoint. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/EM102525451033.aspx?pid=CE01030605 1033

  • Does latest Keynote export to Powerpoint? Does it do it well?

    I am running the previous version, and exporting from it to Powerpoint is dicey. Does Keynote 08 do it any better, i.e., more accurately?
    Thanks
    Sean

    No, as far as I've seen, exports to PowerPoint still requires a good deal of work if you have complex presentation. While it may improve, I don't think Keynote's export will ever be anywhere near as good as one of the PowerPoint clones (like in Neo Office) or PowerPoint itself.

  • Audio on keynote exported quicktime videos cuts out at 50 seconds?

    It just started!  When I export my keynote into a Quicktime file, the audio cuts out at 50 seconds.  I have been creating videos a long time with this method and never had problems before.

    I am willing to share files with Apple. Mine are copyrighted, but are shareable.
    But here's a wrinkle on the problem that puts me a little more in sympathy with Apple engineers, since they may well not have encountered the subtle environments we have that is generating this audio problem.
    I was having the same problem you are for several days after I upgraded to Keynote 6.5 and Yosemite 10.10 (running on a mid-2011 MBA). I duplicated a keynote file with audio recorded that cut out after 50 seconds or so: audio stopped on slide 2 even though I had recorded and saved the whole 50 minute presentation. I store my keynote presentations along with Quicktime movies (m4v) and downsampled mp4 files in a sparsebundled disk image. I created a new, larger disk image yesterday because I was running out of storage space. To do that, I copied all the files in the sparsebundle to a temporary folder on a backup drive (My Mac Book Air is running out of storage space). Then, I deleted the old sparse bundle, created the new one, and copied all the files back.
    After reading your latest post, I thought I would try again. I opened my test Keynote file, now copied to the new sparse bundle, and the audio works! I can hear the audio in the Keynote file when I "Play Recorded Slideshow" from the Play menu. I also exported to a Quicktime m4v movie and the audio is all there. The Keynote file size didn't change during all this: still 36.8MB, which is typical for the audio recorded ones. I start with a 2 to 4MB presentation of 15-20 slides, record audio, and the file size increases to 35-40MB. Then the Quicktime m4v is typical 200-300MB. This one is: 239.4MB.
    So, although the bug is not squashed, take heart and don't delete those files! Your audio may actually be in there somewhere.

  • Keynote export to Quicktime still fails after upgrade to iWork 09.1

    After the update to iwork 9.1 the export to quicktime still fails with 'there is not enough disk space or there was a problem with the file Error - 108'
    I bought a Mac for my use at home, (got a strong one with work in mind) - keynote with embedded FCP movies in some slides made one great presentation for work. Planned to deploy it to sales and our clients and develop more. but it does not run on quicktime so after 3 months the plan has taken a nose dive.
    Its tough times, Keynote style presentations with live demos of our software (embedded movies) can make a difference. But it will have to run on a PC because that is what our clients and sales force have.
    With export to quicktime not working and removal of export to flash i iWork 09 , there seems to be no way to deploy a Keynote presentation to a PC dominated corporate world? and I would be very interested to know if there is a way.
    I have followed all the posts and even narrowed this issue in my case to hyperlinks
    but none of the solutions solve the problem
    The more complex the presentation in relation to embedded movies, hyperlinks etc sooner or later triggers this problem.

    I'm also trying to utilize Keynote for the PC world and NEED the export to Quicktime. I also don't notice any improvement in Keynote '09. I think the workaround has to be to export the Quicktime files - which I'm now accepting will always have mismatched timings and other problems into another program for "fixing". This weekend I plan to test various. I hate to say I will have to revert to PowerPoint because it accepts audio and video files longer than 99 seconds. FYI, I just read on another post that manually clicking through your Keynote while having a screen capture program record a Quicktime may be a solution, although I'm concerned for audio/video quality. I just downloaded a free trial of Snapz Pro to see if that works today too. Let me know if you find a solution.

  • Keynote Export "Transparent video"

    This maybe a some tip and trick how to export form Keynote transparent chart animations and what ever...
    i looking for answer around the network, but no answerts of this question! So i figure out how to do this and i like to share it (maybe helpful for others)
    1. Create a transparent .png file (i take for example my steps) i created in Photoshop transparent image 1024x576 for PAL Widescreen. Export as .png
    2. Open Keynote, make your own animated chart, pie or whatever you like.
    3. Open inspector > Document inspector set your size. (For my situation i choice 1024x576)
    4. Go to Slide inspector. Under Background choice Image Fill and use your transparent .png image
    5. File/Export.
    6. check include transparency. Under formats choice "Custom"
    7. Choice Settings!
    8. In Video Compression Settings Choice Animation Set your frame rate. Set Keyframes to Automatic. Set Depth to Millions Of Colors + (Quality - set to Best)
    Thats all!
    Transparency are not working by default - it works only when you set a transparent Color Fill
    this is some kind of Keynote Bug or so...

    This also works if in your step 4, you choose "Color Fill", then using the Color well, choose any color you want, AND set its Opacity to 0%.  No need for the transparent .png file this way.
    (I sure wish the Include Transparency check box would stay checked from one export to the next!)
    Cheers, and thanks for the post.

  • Keynote Exporting Issues

    To start... I have searched and found some answers to these questions that don't seem to work well. 
    I have created a Keynote Presentation with 4 slides, two with animated backgrounds, one sound effect on each one, animated Move-In, Out, & Actions, a background track, and a voice over.  I'm having a few problems with all of that when I export.
    1. The animated backgrounds stop moving during the "Preview" in KN and on the export, but in different places.  I have selected "Loop" and it won't.  The desired effect is to have it keep looping through the Slide Transition.
    2. I want the background track AND voice over.  When I try to adjust the volume of either for balance, the exported version (regardless of misaligned transitions) has both audio's at full volume.  This feels like something I should be able to lock into place before the export.
    3. Timing of animations and slide transitions is very different in the exported version.  I've seen discussions on here to put the "Delay" to "0.0", but won't that effect my desired effect on the animations?  or, is this something you do after "Recording" the voice over and it somehow remembers the delays?  I'm a bit confused on this one.
    I have always had the feeling of, when I say to myself, "there should be an easier way to do this," when it comes to apple stuff, there usually is.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    You might find the whole process a lot easier if you combine the background and voice over on one audio track.
    If you don't have an audio editor, the freeware Audacity will do it all for you...

  • Keynote Export to PowerPoint

    Well, I was using this work around just fine, until I upgraded to Office 2008.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1341613
    Now I can't even open that PowerPoint file at all. I get the error in PowerPoint that it experienced an error and had to quit.
    I'd love to blame Microsoft for this, but feel it is an issue with Keynote.
    Any help on this one?
    My PowerPoint version is 12.1.3
    Keynote version 4.0.3

    i'm having the same problem with exporting from keynote to powerpoint. I try to open an exported ppt file in powerpoint but it gives me an error - very frustrating. Also, when I exported it, it didn't export all the slides (when i open the ppt file with keynote).
    I ended up saving it as an iwork 06 file - opened it from a keynote '06 version and then exported it. All the slides where there but when i go to powerpoint version 12 and open it - it doesn't. It did open in the old powerpoint version though.
    both keynote and powerpoint have serious export problems -- grrr.

  • Movie within Keynote, export to quicktime transition delay

    I have a very strange problem I can't seem to figure out. I create a Keynote presentation every week that is used to show our announcements at our church. I create the keynote with automatic advancement, then export it to a quicktime movie (which is then put on an iPod and used to project at church). It wall works very well and I have used this for several years. Here's my problem:
    I inserted a movie into a slide in Keynote, the movie is about 30 seconds long and I am playing about 10 to 15 seconds of it. I then have the slide transition to another slide. When I play the keynote it all seems to work great - however, when I export the movie via quicktime, it plays through the movie then hangs for 10 seconds or so at the end of the movie before making the transition to the next slide. It is apparently "stuck" for that time. I have played around with every setting I could find to see if I could get it to work right but nothing changed this behavior. I tried shortening the movie length under the quicktime tab in the inspector, changing the delay in the slide tab in the inspector, nothing.
    To make matters worse I apparently can't just cut out the 10 seconds of offending material via quicktime pro as it somehow only registers by the slide number and I cannot get the index arrow to pick a portion of the movie to splice.
    Its all very frustrating - I've spent about 3 hours on this silly thing this evening telling myself "it can't be this hard." But either I am really missing the obvious, or there is a bug in Keynote, or this just can't be done.
    BTW I am using Keynote 09.
    Any help would be very appreciated. For tonight I've given up on the movie and just cut that part out.
    thanks.

    You've found one of my frustrations...here's the way it works:
    In keynote, you MUST set the slide delay for a movie to stay on screen, and you can see that you're able to transition before the movie is done by cutting the delay shorter than the movie. The draw back is, if you want the whole movie to play, you MUST set the delay to at least the same length as the movie.
    When exporting to QT, this doesn't work. The export forces the movie to play in its entirety. If you weren't trying to cut the movie short, you'd still have to remove your auto advance delay so that it transitions after the movie plays. This is why you're seeing that long hold, it's counting your movie length AND the delay time you added in Keynote.
    The only thing I can suggest is removing that transition delay and living with the movie playing through to the end. You could always trim the movie in QT Pro and use that in Keynote I suppose.

Maybe you are looking for
