Trouble playing QuickTime movie from Keynote

Hi everyone,
Keynote '09 5.1.1 (1034), QuickTime Player 10.0 (131)
I've got a Keynote presentation that I'd like to have as a movie so it can be shared. I want to utilize the "manual advance" feature that pauses the video when specified and waits for a click to advance the slideshow. But when I export (Share>Export>Quicktime), I have trouble getting the movie to play right.
Without a playback control panel (doesn't appear--and isn't supposed to I gather), after playing around with the magic mouse and keyboard, here's what I get (I can't find an explanation of keyboard shortcuts):
Just clicking the mouse plays the first slide, then stops the show at the end of that first slide. Clicking again does the same thing. It doesn't advance. The slideshow is designed to go automatically to the next slide and does so in Keynote.
Scrolling up can forward the video to the next slide or more, but then clicking just plays the first slide again and stops. Scrolling down goes backward in the same way.
Scrolling left or right while the video is playing lowers or raises the volume.
Hitting the up arrow key plays it backwards, sound and all. Hitting the down arrow plays it forwards.
Only after playing it (not just scrolling it--playing it) backwards--then forwards--will it advance to the next slide and work as I hoped it would, pausing at the right places where a click is needed to advance the movie. I found this by accident, but it works repeatedly, even after closing out QuickTime and opening the movie again.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm new to Keynote and don't use QuickTIme for much other than previewing videos. I'm hoping to share this video with many other people who aren't very computer literate, and making many similar videos. I want the other viewers to be able to play the video and just click once in a while (when the video asks them to.)
I would very much appreciate any help.

Welcome to the discussions, Christopher.
Over in the Keynote discussions we've been going over this for quite awhile. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution to your problem. I've even gone as far as attempting to preload the chapter track thinking that might solve the problem, but it doesn't work.
One thing I don't think I've tried is setting up the first slide to advance "on-click" so that there's no animation before the first transition. The problem, of course, is that there's no "loading" animation to let it know when it's ready to go.
Another thing I haven't tried but that might work is to create the movie so that it doesn't autoplay, and then, using the embed commands, set autoplay to be the full length of the movie (so that it will automatically play, but only after it's completely downloaded). Look here for the autoplay embed commands.

  • How can I export a graphic slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote?

    I export a title slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote to my desktop and it plays fine with audio. Once I insert or drag the clip into iWeb the resolution is degraded and very choppy. The resolution is 320x200 and I'm exporting from Keynote as a custom size (320x200) Frame rate: 29.97 Key Frames: Automatic Key Reordering is checked Data Rate: Automatic Quality: Multi pass. I need some help.

    how large is the video and if you publish - does it still have the same horrible quality?
    you might considering exporting as flash (loads faster) and integrating that into your iweb site using post-editing: http://karreth.com/index.php/articles/iframes-iweb/

  • No more alpha in exported QuickTime movie from Keynote '09

    Hello
    In Keynote '08, I create a slide with no background (None).
    I add some text with some fancy text IN and OUT features.
    I export using the Animation codec and the transparency option.
    When I reimport the movie in another Keynote '08 file, it inherits the transparency of the imported file and thus everything is perfectly blended.
    In Keynote '09 it is not possible anymore.
    Even if I import an exported QuickTime movie from Motion with a transparent background, it is not possible to have a perfect blend, all layers are opaque.
    Last but not the least, adding transparent files on top of each other in QuickTime player does not preserve transparency despite the fact that the Animation + transparency features are added in the files.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Gary - first off, thanks for your reply! I am currently forcing spotlight to re-index to see if that might help me out. After that I will try your suggestion and run a system software check.
    I need a ProRes export as this is going to be combined with IMAG footage from a live presentation as well as additional video from an Arri Alexa. I want to preserve as much quality as possible so that there isn't a discrepancy in the final edit. Originally, I was rendering a small test to the desktop to gauge output quality of animations etc. I did go ahead and re-export a second time to an external drive, but it doesn't seem to matter as Keynote appears to initially render everything to the startup drive no matter what. The second export still ate about 15 gigs from my startup disk and I am unable to find any sort of temp files anywhere!
    I am showing all files in Finder and searching around the ~/private/tmp folders to no avail. In the image below there appears to be a discrepancy in the size being reported by finder and the size I'm seeing listed in terminal...

  • Interactive quicktime movie from keynote doesn't stream correctly on web

    hello,
    Any help with this would be extremely appreciated as I've been trying to solve the problem for 3 days straight. I've created an interactive slide show in keynote and now want to stream it on my website. The problem is that the finished product, a QuickTime movie keeps re-starting when it reaches the first interactive link until the movie is completely loaded. At that point it then correctly stops at the first link but by this time it has looped the beginning of my movie three times. I've tried figuring out a way to partially load the movie before it starts playing through JavaScript to no avail. I'd like to avoid loading the whole movie before starting it due to its length. If I have to pre-load the entire movie, I'd like a status bar for loading but controls hidden while it plays.
    Help please!

  • Trouble Playing QT movies from my .Mac account

    Here is one for you. I produce videos and wanted to play some of my stuff for a client on the iPhone. Now, understand it I download the movie from iTunes to the iPhone, I can play it beautifully. Here is the issue. I try to access my movie on the .Mac page through Safari and I get a grayed-out symbol of some type, and no movie. I have the movies as .mp4s on the .Mac page and they work fine from other computers. Has Apple not created a way to allow movies to be played or streamed from the .Mac side of the world? I can pay YouTube stuff and watch movie trailers. I am sure it is a little quirk somewhere and would appreciate some suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Phil Hanna

    Thanks, Mike:
    Is that why I can go to my website and play movies that were done a couple of years ago and play them perfectly on the iPhone, but recently encoded stuff won't play? That is what has bothered me. Apple changed something on the site (.Mac Account) some time ago and the video stuff changed. I have tried QT and Compressor anything I can find to encode as I use to. It is not the end of the world, but one of those things that I would like to get working. I certainly can download movies from my site and install them on the iPhone, but it would be neat to have a QT player that would work off the internet side. I am encoding things in H.264 now, but getting the funny icon that won't enable play through the internet.

  • Playing quicktime movies in Keynote 3

    Hi, Is it possible to place two or more quicktime videos on a single keynote slide so they show without all simultaneously playing? I want to be able to click any of the videos so they play independently. I have tried various workarounds without success, but am getting very frustrated.
    Comments greatly appreciated.
    cheers,

    The problem is, there's no build called "Play media" so, you have to do a work around. First you use any build (I usually use the appear build) on each movie, and check your timings. You won't see the movies before they play, but they'll play in the order you want. Then you have to basically take a screen shot of the movie, or open them in QT and copy one frame that you want to represent the movie. Paste that frame on the slide and stick it right where each movie is sitting, then send it behind the movie. You'll get something that LOOKS like a slide full of movies, and each time you click the mouse, each movie will come in on top of the picture of the movie and play.

  • How can i play a movie in keynote from more than 600 seconds between other slides in a automatic loop

    How can i play a movie in keynote from more than 600 seconds between other slides in a automatic loop

    The maximum duration available for an automatic presentation in Keynote is 600 seconds.
    The alternatives are to export a QuickTime video, use other presentation applications, a media server player or digital signage application.

  • Itunes 10.6 on Lion and Quicktime 10.1 don´t play bought movies from I tunes store, any ideas why?

    I have issues with Itunes 10.6 on Lion and Quicktime 10.1. They don´t play bought movies from I tunes store, any ideas why?

    I found the same issue... I can play other movies but no purchased ones. I can get the sound but the picture is scrambled. Does anyone know how to uninstall and reinstall iTunes? maybe that will work.

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • Help playing my quicktime movie on keynote

    I have a movie on quicktime. It plays perfectly fine when played through quicktime.
    I am making a presentation using keynote. I want to make one of my slides that movie. So I do exactly as I have been reading. Ok, so the movie is now on the slide, but all I see are the little white squares around it, no actual movie. Those same white squares that you get when your trying to move or select an item for edit. Anyways, I say well maybe it will play when I play my slide show. Still no movie. Sometimes I get a blank page when I get to the slide with the movie. Other times I get the actual control panal to play the movie, but yet not movie is playing regardless of how many times I rewind, and play etc.
    Can keynote play quicktime movies? If so what is the format they have to be in. The format of the movie in quick time is
    Apple Animation, 983 x 552, Millions+
    Please help, I really need this movie for my presentation.

    In the Inspector section find the Transitions controls. For that slide, select the delay time for the same length of time of the clip.
    Not sure if that will solve it but it's worth a try. That's how I got my QT clip to play.
    Good luck.

  • Interactive Quicktime Movie Events (Keynote)

    I'm developing an AIR app that lets the user play a quicktime .mov from their computer.  This movie will most likely come from an exported Keynote presentation.
    In case you're not familiar, Keynote lets you export a quicktime movie that is interactive... it will automatically pause after each transition and you can click anywhere on the movie to make it continue to the next slide.
    In the flash VideoDisplay component it plays right through these "pause points" instead of stopping automatically.
    Is there any way to have quicktime movies automatically pause at those points?  Or is there a way to at least get a callback when they're supposed to happen so that I can pause it manually with actionscript?
    I know it sounds far fetched, but this would basically let you play a keynote presentation inside flash.

  • Exporting a QuickTime movie in Keynote '09

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a quick time movie from Keynote.
    I have a five minute audio file sound track to which I have selected 28 Slides.
    When I first exported, I hear the audio, but the video does not advance.
    I have considered using "Fixed Timing" but it looks like you are then forced to set uniform slide display duration and uniform transition duration. However, my slides have a variety of display-durations, and transition-durations. (All the advances are automatic, not manual.)
    Please help me create a movie that actually reflects the original Keynote show as created, and tweaked.

    You need to record your slideshow so you can export with the recorded timing. Go to the Play Menu then Record Slideshow. This will run through your slideshow and record when the transitions take place. Then when you export you can select Recorded Timing.
    Since you have a soundtrack, you will want to make sure under the audio section to select Include the slideshow soundtrack, but uncheck Include the slideshow recording.
    I should add that there have been many people here that have had problems with the timing getting off a little in the Quicktime file. So if you need the timing to be exact, you might want to export without the audio then add to iMovie where you can work with the audio and video a little more.

  • How to play quicktime .mov files on iphone

    I would like to be able to play quicktime (.mov) files on my iphone4s but I get a message that my file cannot be played on this iphone.
    I created the file in keynote, exported it to a quicktime movie with the manual advance option.
    My goal is to be able to use iphone to connect to a projector with a iphone to vga adapter and thus project my presentations from the iphone.
    But I cannot import import it using itunes to the iphone.
    Wondering if there is an app that plays quick time movies or some other option.
    The reason I cannot export from keynote is that it does not give the option for manual advance.
    It only provides a fixed time option.
    Appreciate any help
    thank you

  • Animated GIFs don't loop in exported movies from Keynote 3

    I am just getting started with Keynote 3.0 and really like what I have seen. I created a series of slides and pasted animated GIFs in various places. They are set to loop on each slide as Keynote presents the slides. The slide show has preset transition and build timings and there is music playing continuously, throughout the show. It works quite well. (However, there is very intermittent choppy audio and video playback when there are builds or transitions occurring. Any thoughts on optimizing this?)
    The problems begin when I ask Keynote to export the slideshow to a movie. The main problem that I am struggling with is that the animated GIFs don't loop in the rendered movie, regardless of which compressor I choose. I don't see anything in the documentation. I have also searched several of the discussions on making movies from Keynote 3 but have not specifically seen animated GIFs discussed. What am I missing here?
    Also, I want to be able to play this movie on a DVD player at an upcoming function. Any recommendations for an approach that will be best? I have QT 7 Pro and the iLife '06 suite.
    Thanks, in advance, for any forthcoming suggestions.

    My guess is, it's too much of a pain to have to calculate how many times it will actually loop and create the loops and then composite everything. Running it in Keynote just tells the thing to keep playing over and over till you do something that stops it. There's a BIG difference there as one is just being told to play, the other is having to be placed in a movie with an exact number of frames, so there are a bunch of calculations involved.

  • How do you view quicktime movies from MAC to TV?

    I'd like to view quicktime movies from my MacBook Pro to HDTV. What do I need to do?

    Not every retailer carries mini-DP to HDMI adaptors, so you might want to call ahead. If you find one, make sure that it carries audio - some won't. You can certainly find them online. Apple normally stocks a Moshi version which supports audio, but they're back-ordered at the moment. If you have trouble finding them locally, try newegg.com.
    Edit: meant to add, a newer option is to get an AppleTV v3 connected to your TV, connect it to your wireless network, and mirror your Macbook Pro to the AppleTV using Airplay Mirroring. May even not be much more expensive than the adaptor+cable option. Details here:
