Movie playback during autorun presentation

I'm setting up a presentation that will run and loop continuously during a trade show. Most of the slides have movies embedded. Problem is, each slide wants to transition to the next one before fully playing each movie (I have to set it up to transition without mouse clicks).
I've come up with a workaround by making the delay time on the slide transition to be approx. the same as the mov file (but I usually have to make them a little shorter as the time doesn't work out quite right).
So my question is-- is there a way to do this more efficiently, or to make Keynote simply playback the mov file before transitioning on to the next slide?
thx

Yup, you've found the best way to fix the problem. You may want to got to <http://www.apple.com/feedback/keynote.html> and let them know that you'd like to see a play entire movie feature added.

  • Apple TV 2 - Not synching correctly during movie playback

    Hi all,
    Recently bought the new Apple TV and have set it up fine. During some movies playback I notice the picture starts to jerk and then the sound is about 1-2 seconds ahead of the picture. To rectify this I have to pause the video, then play. When I pause, I can see the video playing catchup to whichever point in the sound I paused it at.
    Is anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone know what the cause of this issue is?
    The movie plays fine on my iMac with no synching issues. Im assuming its because my iMac is running and using its processors at that given moment. Some of my movies are MKV files encoded to MP4 via Handbrake.
    Some help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    It could well be because your Mac is heavy on resource usage running handbrake which will use as much CPU power as is available to do the job.
    Having said that I've seen this occasionally with ATV1 and ATV2, and recently I've wondered if it's iTunes doing something else eg automatically downloading a subscription podcast, and effectively freezing to other processes like AppleTV streaming as it saves a podcast to disc.
    The other obvious candidate is the network not quite keeping up with streaming demands and running slightly behind.
    Try playback without Handbrake or other intensive processes running - does it behave better?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Booklet crashing during fullscreen movie playback

    My Nokia 3G Booklet crashes during fullscreen movie playback, usually after 30 minutes. I'm using the booklet to play to a LCD screen @ 1024 x 768 via the HDMI output. The movies aren't even HD, just 600-700MB Avi files. I'm using Windows Media Player version 12.0.7600.16415. Anybody else have this problem? The Booklet gets pretty hot playing movies too.

    About the temperature you should not worry to much, I would suggest you just to try another player, such as GOM Player, and to see if you have same issue, also If you could submit some logs with the latest Error Logs from your system, so that we can check if there is a Kernel Power issue or it might be related to overheating of your CPU. I had seen full movies over HDMI and no issue with it. I guess might be some software issue.

  • QT movies playback cropped

    After the last QT upgrade I noticed that some of my QT movies I have placed on a slide playback as if they were cropped. I cannot see the full image, it appears as if they were masked only showing a portion of what the image should be. When played in the stand alone QT player they play fine at any scale. I have not modified the inserted movie, just placed it on the slide. I would prefer to play the brief videos on the slide during the presentation and not in the QT player app.
    Thanks.

    Bump!
    I am having the same problem. QT movies inserted into the KN 2.03 presentation that once played ok, now are cropped. As others have stated, only some of the movies are cropped and only when actually playing the KN presention. My solution is "esc" out of the presentation and click on the slide edit window to get the "whole" movie to play.
    Any ideas out there?

  • Question: Apple TV Movie playback freezes very briefly but frequently

    Last night I rented a couple of HD movies from iTunes on my 160GB Apple TV and watched them. During playback there were quite a few very brief instants of the picture freezing during movie playback. It's the kind of thing some people may not notice (I don't think my wife noticed), but it got to be kind of annoying to me, to the point where I was anticipating it to happen again instead of enjoying the movie!
    One of the movies was about 80% downloaded when I started to watch it, although it said it was "Ready to Play." Also, the hard drive on my Apple TV is about 3/4 full with music.
    Anyone have any idea why this would be happening and is there anything I can do to fix the problem?

    Thank you for your response. Again, it was relatively minuscule, but just noticeable enough. I will reboot it.
    Has this been a noted problem with other users of the old unit?
    I've seen very bried video stutters and audio dropouts from time to time.
    Another possibility is the encoding but generally it's not that - if you rewind and replay usually it plays ok 2nd time around - if encoding of video was to blame it would always be the same.
    I am considering grabbing a new unit in the future. Has Apple noted that the new Apple TV will have "smoother playback" relative to the old unit, or something like that?
    Not specifically, it's just a more powerful chip in it than previously - the old AppleTV was probably pushing the limits with the available hardware.
    However, from:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/
    this might be a hint:
    "All streaming. No hassle.
    Everything you want to watch — films, TV programmes, photos and more — streams wirelessly to Apple TV. That way you don’t have to worry about managing storage or syncing to your iTunes library. HD film rentals play over the Internet to your widescreen TV, while music, photos and TV programmes stream from your computer. Either way, all you have to do is click and play. Since Apple TV features a powerful A4 processor, it streams everything effortlessly, without frozen screens or stutters. Video looks crisp and clear. And just like watching a DVD, you can fast-forward through opening credits, pause for a popcorn break or replay a hilarious scene until you memorise every line."

  • Swipe back during keynote presentation

    Hi everyone,
    I understand that in Mac OS, when I am presenting a keynote presentation, hitting the "[" button (during a slide with several builds) on the keyboard moves the presentation to the previous "build" while hitting the left arrow button moves the presentation to the beginning to the current slide.
    When making the same presentation in my iPad, swiping back causes the presentation to move to the beginning to the current slide.
    May I know what action is required to move the presentation to the previous "build" (equivalent to hitting the "[" button on the keyboard)?
    Thanks!

    I don't believe that Keynote records the mouse movements when recording a presentation -- a recorded presentation is not an actual screen capture. If you need this kind of capability, you may want to look at using a third-party screen capture application like ScreenFlow ($99, but highly recommended, as it allows a lot of post-recording editing options), iShowU ($30), Snapz Pro X ($69).

  • How can I edit a table during a presentation?

    I'd like to use Keynote for a "game show" style activity at my school.  I created a presentation in Keynote that contains one slide with a large table.  During the presentation I would like to edit the contents of some of the table cells without going into edit mode and staying in the presentation slide show mode. I would like to click or double-click on a table cell and edit the text in the cell right on the slide during the presentation.

    This is not possible in Keynote.
    Keynote must be in edit mode, not play mode to add data to a table.
    Adobe Flash Professional can do this but is not the easiest to learn how to use.
    Adobe products
    A work around using Keynote is to blank (black screen) the projector or colour display, enter the new data in edit mode then restart Keynote then unblank the projector again.

  • Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

    Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

    Keynote does not have this function.
    The only way to do this is to use an annotation application. Google and find the cost and functionality you need, many have trial downloads.

  • ITunes movie playback, audio and video not in sync after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion I have problems with iTunes movie playback, and the audio/video at times stalls/delays, or skips a few seconds, or even gets out of sync.  I feared this problem was isolated to my machine until I saw an article online: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57489874-263/sound-stuttering-after-mountai n-lion-installation/.  I have 2011 iMac 27" with 16G RAM and am running the latest iTunes and Mac OS X software, and shutting down extra programs doesn't help.  Please let me know of any solution.

    I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
    I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
    Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.

  • Movie playback issues

    My movies are having playback issues again. Default settings are 44.1kHz  16bps  720p HD.
    Operating System: Windows 8
    Itunes Version 12.1.0
    The issue is the sound goes in the beginning of each film. I have a computer which is two years old and yet there seems to be a recurring problem with movie playback.

    I think it depends on which version of iTunes you are using. I had the same problem with digital copy movies when I loaded the 64bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunes64setup.exe, on a Vista machine. Once I deleted that version and loaded the 32bit version of iTunes 8.1, iTunessetup.exe, I was able to view the movie in iTunes AND download it to my iTouch.

  • How can I highlight a powerpoint presentation during the presentation?

    Does anyone know an apps that allow us to highlight parts/make notes  of a powerpoint presentation during the presentation using an ipad?

    Noterize for iPad allows you to annotate your slides. You can also typically convert your slideds to a PDF and do it that way (but lose the animations).

    wouldn't it make more sense that a flashtard is someone who
    just generally sucks at flash and asks idiotic questions?
    anyway, so i pretty much got the banner done - but i'm stuck
    on one problem. I made a motion clip of a heart, and i want the
    heart to fall from top to bottom, following a squiggly motion
    guide, and to rotate 1/4 turn on the way. I got it as far as
    following the motion guide, but when i try to select the instance
    in the first frame and rotate it, shouldn't the motion tween make
    it appear to slowly rotate, rather than stay put then rotate 1/4
    turn at the last frame? When I select the clip and play around with
    alpha and stuff, that works fine. What the heck?
