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?

Export "recorded" Keynote to Quicktime=loss of quality and stuttering..

Hi folks,
Can anyone give me help? Here is the deal:
1. I have a nice Keynote with all of my actions and transitions. I want to record it (or whatever) and send it to iMovie where I can manipulate multiple songs (from iTunes) as a soundtrack.
2. After that, either make a dvd of it, or save it as a quicktime movie to play direct from the mac.
3. The best quality is desired.
I saw that someone recommended Snapz ProX to record..can that then play nicely with iMovie/soundtrack development?
The "record" feature in Keynote was the only way I could preserve my custom actions and transitions, but the export to Quicktime horribly reduces quality to an unusable level. Drat.
Thanks!!!!!

On your mac... bring up the keynote and set it to the first slide. Then click file>record. This will begin a play-thru of your keynote. If you have to advance things by click then you will have to trial-and-error on that and see if you like the results. If you have everything automated it will work smoothly. If you have audio make sure you turn your speakers off or way down as it will automatically turn on the mic as it records and it will record you talking and stuff... so shhhhhh!
After it is done, click share>export to itunes. If asked --you want to work with the recorded version you just made--. It should then create a quiktime version of your keynote that is playable on a PC. (that can play QT videos!)
Depending on what you have made there are many ways to do this... If it is a simple slide show you can first try to export as a Power Point which will certainly play on the PC...but is prone to issues depending on your slides.
You can only record your Keynote once at a time... so if you mess up, just click file>clear recording, and do it again.....
Just tinker with it and you will see....

Need app for burning DVD on new iMac using iMovie

I have a new 64 bit iMac with optional external DVD drive. I want to burn DVDs with the iMovie projects that recognize the chapters I entered in the new iMovie. Basically, I want to do what I used to do on my old 32 bit iMac with the internal drive using the combination of iDVD and iMovie.

mChapters available from the App Store, will add chapters to the output file from iMovie. In the Finder, you may have to change the move file's extension from "mp4" to "m4v" as older Quicktime applications and perhaps some newer DVD creators may not recognize a chapter track in an mp4 container.
In any event, the mChapters application will allow you to visually add chapters and name them as you like. You can save the file in-place (i.e. you do not have to create a new output file--just save to the existing movie file) which is quick. It is irritating that iMovie no longer has chapter markers, but this little application does not add much time to the move creation process.
BTW, I have nothing to do with mChapters. I tried several applications, free and otherwise, until I settled on this one for my needs.

I just recorded audio using QuickTime, but now I can't use it in iMovie.

I used QuickTime 10.0 to record audio, but now I have no way of using this audio in iMovie. I added it to my iTunes library, but I can't drag it into my project to use as a regular audio file. I can't even convert it to some audio format since QuickTime 10 doesn't have that feature.
Help! I was hoping to create a screen recording demo via QuickTime and overlay it with audio using speech I recorded using QuickTime as well, but now I see I can't. Is there any way to use audio recorded with QuickTime other than just listening to it?!? Seems like a feature that isn't done yet.

The thing is that there is no unlocked phone in the US that is available for purchase. The T-Mobile phone is contract/sim free and not unlocked and for the unlocked phone you have to wait for at least a couple of months after release before the unlocked phone is available.
That is why you cannot use the phone in the UK because it was never unlocked in the first place if you activated it with T-Mobile. Sim/Contract free and unlocked do not mean the same thing. You will have to wait at least 2 months now before T-Mobile will consider unlocking your phone and then you won't be able to get 4G in the UK and you have no UK warranty, only US where you purchased the phone.
Why not buy a new phone in the UK that is unlocked and sell the US one?

Screen resolution problems - Keynote to iMovie HD to Quicktime to DVD

I'm not getting quality screen resolution when exporting slides with builds from Keynote, to Quicktime, import to iMovie, then back to Quicktime.
I notice it mainly with the text content because it's very pixelated.
The final Quicktime movie will be burned to DVD and then viewed on other's computer screens, which of course I realize will all be different.
How can I best trouble shoot this problem?

Exporting Keynote to Quicktime - complete loss of sound

Hey,
I’m facing problems when it comes to exporting Keynote to Quicktime.
For a tutorial, I recorded a Quicktime movie of my screen (including my voice as audio). This Quicktime movie is placed on a slide and runs during the whole presentation. I use animations for showing text blocks that give additional info while the movie is running.
In Keynote everything works just fine. But when I export it to Quicktime, *the sound stops as soon as the first animation is started with a click*. From then on I can see both the embedded Quicktime movie and the animations but without audio.
Sometimes it even happened that after doing the first click I could see the animations only, but no Quicktime video / sound.
I’ve spent the last nights with trying changing export settings and so on, searched this forum up and down, but couldn’t find a solution…
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Mike

I just posted this on another similar inquiry. THis may help. I posed a similar question so check the thread "Bottom line...etc." If you follow the guidelines below it should work. The final result is one QT movie with all slides and music. The product was so much nicer than the iPhoto slide shows (although they are OK too. (I don't know about the video in the Keynote might work as described in the initial post here.)
Here is what the final answer was, at least for my situation:
"YESSSS!!! Even after meeting with 4 Geniuses and 1 Creative the answer was still a definite bottom line, "Maybe." Until, I finally realized that the one setting that I was not using correctly was in the Export> QT> Playback. I had been using "Manual" and not using the "Fixed Timing" out of fear that it would change the custom settings that I had on each slide. However, that is not the case. The settings on each slide remain the same even though in this option there are settings for slide duration and build duration. I do not know what those options do but the bottom line is I now can Export to QT and then import to iDVD with both sound and video as one file and they work fine both as an isolated QT file as well as a QT/Slideshow in iDVD. Thanks for the help from all the contributors both recently and quite awhile ago when I first faced this challenge.
Peace,

Recording/exporting to quicktime

Is the function of recording a Keynote show with timings and transitions completely garbage when exported to Quicktime?
When I export, it seems that most of the transitions are lost.
Is there something I'm missing or is this just broken?
I need to find a way for my clients who do not have Keynote to view an example of a running show.
Thanks.

I too have major problems exporting to QT a complex KN08 presentation with sound files in the builds. The timing, which took me long hours to perfect, is incorrect in the exported QT movie. Changing export settings does not help. Tech Support’s suggestion to export the presentation without the audio does not solve the problem at all. The timing of the builds is still incorrect in the exported soundless QT movie, so it is not possible to simply insert the sound files back in using iMovie or Final Cut or QTPro.
(Maybe Tech Support meant to make builds without any sound files at all. But then, how do you synchronize images, animations, transitions and sound?)
The only workaround I have found involves long and frustrating timing readjustments in the builds before export. A daunting task which involves multiple exports to QT for fine tuning. And finally some editing in QT Pro for cutting off extraneous footage that is created in the QT movie at the end of each slide (have found no solution for that either).
This is a major concern. It means the Export to Quicktime function is very tedious (unMaclike) if not useless when sound files are incorporated into the KeyNote builds. I am particularly surprised because KN ’06, though it did not export to QT very well, at least did not have this particular problem.

Exporting Keynote to quicktime only 1 song on my playlist plays

When I tried exporting into quicktime only the first song on my playlist played with my presentation. Any ideas?

Cannot Export Keynote to Quicktime

When i try and export a the keynote into quicktime, the result is not as intended. i have recored a video inside of keynote, with animations and different timings. the video is around 8 mins long. when i export it to quicktime, i get a video of 4 seconds in lenght. this is the screen shot of the options i get when i click "File", "Export to", "Quicktime".
any help would be much appreciated

The export options show that the QuickTime export will take the timings of the transitions from the "recording"; every time you press the enter, spacebar or right arrow key, Keynote will advance to the next event.
The recorded timings are wrong, you therefor need to clear the timings and record them again:
1 - Inspector > Document > Audio > click the clear button
2 - click record
3 - click the red start record button at the bottom left, wait for the countdown to finish then press the enter key every time you want to advance to the next event.
4 - when your reach the last slide, click the record button again, then click the X button top right
test the timings are correct by playing the presentation from slide 1

Why can't Apple figure out Keynote to QuickTime???

User problems with QuickTime exporting from Keynote are legion (just look at these discussion forums). Why can't Apple (makers of both Keynote and QuickTime) master this task?
I want a QuickTime video of a self-running presentation. I have audio narration on each slide via .WAV files. My animation timings are set perfectly to match the narration. My transitions are set to advance at the appropriate time in the narration. When I view the show, everything works PERFECTLY. Narration is intact, animations are perfectly timed, slides automatically advance at exactly the right time. Now all I need is a video of my presentation in QuickTime. No problem, I'll use Keynote's handy Export to QuickTime tool.
Then things get ugly. I export to QuickTime and it all falls apart. The timing is off. Long pauses between my slide transitions. Bah. All I want is a QuickTime version of exactly what I see when I play the slideshow - but that's not what I get. Incredibly frustrating. I was hoping they'd fix this in Keynote '09. Alas, not so.
Step it up, Apple. Please!

This is truly unbelievable. I have used apple equipment since the Apple II. Quicktime and keynote are key apple software. Why can't apple figure this out. I am a college professor recording audio with keynote presentations. Keynote operates very well. Never a problem. Why can't I export to quicktime without trouble? Why do we need to work around this? The quicktime export produces a video track and a movie track, but no audio track. You can check this in the properties after export. It doesn't matter what export settings I choose. Always a movie without an audio track. I am a simple college professor trying to get lecture movies on the course management system. If the audio is recorded on keynote, which it is, why can't quicktime pick it up and add it to the movie? This problem has been around for years through several versions of quicktime and keynote. Is this an Apple culture where the keynote people don't talk to the quicktime people? Either keynote should record in a format that quicktime can use or quicktime should be able to read the keynote audio and add it to the movie. How can this be education friendly if a college professor can't export his recorded keynote presentations to quicktime? I don't want a work around that takes me extra time. My time is precious and my students need access very soon after the lecture. This should be at the top of a fix-it list in the apple education group.

Quicktime from dvd

Hi,
I just got an iMac yesterday. It came with OS X 10.6.1. I upgraded it to OS X 10.6.2. Under both OS X 10.6.1 and 10.6.2, I've had problems with QuickTime. If I try to use QuickTime Player to play avi files which are on a DVD, I get a message saying that the file cannot be opened. But if I copy the exact files to my local hard drive, I can play them with QuickTime with no problem. I don't change the file names during the copy. On this iMac, the files have different icons when they're on the DVD and when they're on my hard drive. On the DVD, their icons are the usual blue QT, and on the hard drive, their icons look like an eye or something (it's hard to tell). I have an older white MacBook running OS X 10.5, and on my MacBook, I can use QuickTime Player to play these same avi files straight from the DVD. I've installed the DivX codec and Perian to play avi files using QuickTime Player. Also, on my iMac, I can't play the QuickTime movies on the apple.com Web site. I just see a big QT logo, but no video. Thanks,

Hi,
In System Preferences for my iMac, there's no QuickTime item. In my MacBook, there is a QuickTime item in my System Preferences. Could this be why I can't view apple.com movies in my iMac? How do I get QuickTime to show up in my iMac System Preferences? I'm using Firefox for all of my Internet work. The QuickTime plug-in is installed in Firefox on my iMac. Thanks,

Audio not exporting from Keynote to Quicktime

I have recorded a 50 minute slideshow with a voice-over narration in Keynote. There are mp3 sound files on some of the slides, i.e. short clips of various sounds. When I play back the recorded slideshow in Keynote, my voice-over and the sound clips and visuals work perfectly fine. However, when I export my recorded presentation to Quicktime, only my voice-over and the slides are included in the movie, the sounds clips are missing. All of the transitions and effects work perfectly fine in the movie, it is just the sound clips that are missing. No matter how I save the file in Quicktime I cannot get the mp3 sound clips into the QuickTime movie. My computer is a MacbookPro running OSX 10.9.4 Mavericks, using Keynote 6.2. I just bought Quicktime Pro7 to see if that would help, but it did not. Would greatly appreciate advice on how to get all of audio into a movie, I've spent more than a hundred hours on this presentation. Many thanks.

Yeah, me too. Bump. Can anybody explain this behavior?!?

Keynote and Quicktime v7

I have been producing keynote presentations in quick time format and had great success using quicktime v6 player - just upgraded to v7 and all my links in the prestation seem to produce a path error i.e. can't find a file when I just click on a llink that is linking slides - any thoughts ?
Sounds like Key note quicktime export may not be ready for v7 of quicktime ?

Might I dare to say a better workaround than the others? My reason being that there's (from my perspective) no loss of function (other than having to use Firefox instead of IE when cold-launching a link).
The other solutions posted (in a related post) each had their own problems -
--Reverting to Quicktime 6.5.2 (on the PC end) meant the file stopped working if QT7 had been used on the Mac side.
--Reverting to QT 6.5.2 on the Mac (via the reinstaller, or any method) seems to be impossible if you've upgraded beyond OSX 10.3.9.
--Re-exporting the interactive file as a Quicktime movie through QT removes all interactive functions, which is what I needed, and
--Opening the .mov file within Internet Explorer (which does work) doesn't allow for full-screen display of the video.
Glad it worked for you!

Poor video playback from movies and DVD in Quicktime and DVD player

Hello.
I have just taken delivery of a smashing Intel iMac C2D 20".
I appear to be having problems playing back video and DVD. let me explain:
When entering full screen on a DVD, the picture is very blocky (pixilated). This happens on all DVD discs I have used.
The same happens if I playback a MPEG or AVI, and also when I use Eye TV to playback TV.
I have run the Apple Hardware test, and it returned no faults.
The Video Card is the ATI Radeon X1600 with 256mb
I am sure that there is a problem because I have just compared playback using my old G5 iMac and G4 Powerbook using the same media files and DVD's and they playback fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions (other than calling Tech Support at this stage as I will blow a fuse after being on the phone for 1.5 hours getting nowhere, and with agents not knowing which keypresses to initiate stuff - sorry - Rant over - I just want to get this resolved)
As a side note: I have just installed Windoze XP on a partition, and the playback of DVD and MPEGS are fine - so it leads me to think maybe its software??
Not one to let things get the better of me - I installed Real Player and VLC.
BOTH of these play back the media correctly.
So I guess it is Software for sure, and I guess its Quicktime. Does Quicktime run DVD Player as well?
I did a roll back to a previous version of Quicktime, and it screwed up the mac. It would book, but would not load the Finder.
So I archived and reinstalled, and I had 7.1.2 QT, and the problem was still there. So up again to 7.1.3 and problem still persists.
I have come to the conclusion that this is to do with Quicktime on a C2D processor iMac.
Can anyone shed any light on this or suggest a solution?
Manythanks
Glenn

10.4.8 Combo update resolved 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.
