Video across multiple slides

hi, is there any way i can get any version of keynote to play video across multiple slides, i have a looping starfield video that i want to play behind the whole of a pretty complex award show presentation, due to each slide already having 58 builds its not preally practicle to have all the stuff merged into one slides so video behind the full show is really my only option
Many thanks
Ben

No it is not possible to have a movie play across multilple slides in Keynote. But there might be a workaround. Is the final video going to be automatically playing where you have preset all the timing or are you going to be clicking through it as you go?
If you are going to time everything out and then just have it play, one option (which I have never tried) would be to make the background of all the slides green. Then export to iMovie and use the Greenscreen feature to put the lopping starfield video behind it. Like I said, I have never tried to use the greenscreen feature, so I have no idea how well it will work, but would be worth a try.

Audio across multiple slides

How do I get a song to continue to play across multiple slides but not during the whole presentation? For example, I want a song to start on slide #6 and stop at slide #12.

JDT:
Tulse and you are BOTH right. The process is cumbersome and it is a pain. It also has been described in great detail in previous threads in this Forum. Just search on the keywords: music tracks, audio tracks, slides with music, etc.
CAVEAT: slideshows with recorded soundtracks will not play with synchronization when initiated as a Hyperlink; all Builds and Transitions will need to be created to begin either Automatically, or via Click.
This and many other audio-related shortcomings of Keynote have been lamented numerous times to the Keynote Feedback Forum. Hopefully, some future upgrade to Keynote will address these issues. Until then, all we can do is apply band-aid work-arounds.

CP5 Freezing when editing video over multiple slides

Captivate continuously freezes when I'm working with a video that I've spread over multiple slides.
This is a Windows 7 computer. I've cleared my cache incase that had something to do with that.
Any help would be apreciated.
Susan

Which version?
Some ideas: background music for the file, to stop on slides 1-2 and 21-23.
VO as slide auido on slides where wanted.
For slide 2: object audio which can play parallel with the VO (see http://blog.lilybiri.com/audio-objects-control-them)
For slide 21-23: object audio with object displayed for the rest of the project, and hidden on entering slide 24

Burning a Video Across Multiple DVDs Easily?

I have a big compilation of old tapes I imported into an iMovie project. I want to burn the clips onto DVDs readable by DVD players (so MPEG-2), but there are >14 hours of pretty uncompressed video there. I could, of course, chop the movie into parts, but then it's hard to judge how big the pieces should be because the file size on the DVD will be much smaller than my current DV files.
Is there a program or a method to easily burn one big movie file across multiple DVDs by chopping it so each DVD is filled?

You need to edit them properly in iMovie into individual movies of max length 90 minutes or so, then burn each one in iDVD.
The idea of using multiple DVDs for a single 14 hour movie won't work.

Is there "still" no way to make an audio file spread across multiple slides

Come on apple, this is getting old, this has been in Power Point since the beginning

Actually, you could do that it Keynote 06. Click on the Document Inspector (the left-most icon) and you will see 3 tabs, including Audio. Drag a song onto the Soundtrack square. It will play across as many slides as the music plays for.

Can I share a video across multiple iPads so the sound is in sync or only playing on the native iPad?

I need to share video with approximately 10 ipad users during a meeting. Unfortunately, broadcasting or projecting in any fashion is not allowed. I'm hoping to sync the ipads or mirror the leader to the others.
Can anyone help??

Okay guys, since no one was able to help, i tried to figure it out, and i finally got it.There is this app on the app store called 'DropBox' which can be downloaded on both- your mac and iPhone/ iPad .Through this app, you can easily transfer files from imac to other apple devices and vice versa.
P.S. The files do get saved in the photo album.
Hope this helps

Best practices for referencing external video across multiple computers

I have made a .swf that references an external .f4v . The swf plays fine on my own computer, but does not play on a colleagues computer, or another computer which we tested. The file is not for upload to web , it is for local playback. I assume this is a file path issue, but I have tried many different things including specifying a path and then recreating the same directory structure on the other computer. What am I missing? The f4v file can playback on the colleagues computer (I did install ffdshow , although another tested mp4 also plays back fine) but not the .swf. Please , any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

This could be a security context issue, is it possible on your own machine you have allowed access to that file or folder containing the F4V file, maybe using the global-security-settings in flash player? Have a read of the following just in case:

Captivate 7 HTML 5 publish does not play multiple videos on same slide on Android devices

Hello,
I have a captivate module which has 2 videos on same slide. There are 2 buttons, clicking on which the videos appears. However when i test this on iPad or any Android device, it plays on 1 video. I used Event video. Can someone please help me on this?
Regards
Manoj

I don't think you are missing anything. I am using the "Light_PAssage" animantion, but switching to the one you used has no impact.
For me, if there is a text animation on slide one, it will play in File->Preview->Play Slide. It will not play in FIle->Preview->Project, From this slide, or Next 5 slides.
The issue occurs in all my Captivate 5 projects, including projects that previously generated properly working outputs as recently as 2/23/2011.
Is it possible it's related to Flash player? I am using Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.152.26.
I will send an example cptx to your email address. The example includes a blank slide one, and the text on slide 2 plays as expected in the previews and in the generated output. If I remove the blank slide 1, the text animation on the new slide 1 no longer plays.
Thanks.

Sharing one iTunes library across multiple accounts on the same Mac

Hello, I've poked around at some of the posts dealing with sharing one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac but it seems like this can only be done if the libary is moved to a shared folder. I realize this can be done but I was trying to share it the way it is described in a post on Apple support (See link below.). That post seemed to imply that you don't have to move the library from its original location (owned by account A, e.g.), rather just make a couple preference changes in the accounts, use fast user switching and voila. That doesn't seem to work. So my question is this: Is the only way to share one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac to move it to a shared folder? I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. Thanks in advance!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

Manually controlling music across multiple computers

I've seen a lot of similar posts about this and I find it quite frustrating that I was able to manually control my music with my 30GB ipod across multiple computers but my iphone locks me down to just one computer.
Even if I decide to use the 'manual' option it just doesn't let me add music to my iphone from multiple computers. I am constantly directed to erase and re-sync with the new computer. It's not a solution I like considering what I can do with my older ipod.
The only solution I found so far was to jailbreak the iphone but I refuse to go that path. I read a few reasons Apple released as to why it was limited and find it very silly for lack of a better word.
Anyone experience the same frustration and have a solution? Or know if there is an update to resolve this any time soon?
Thanks!

One thing that might help.
The iphone will only sync music and video content from one computer at a time.
If you want to sync music or video content from a second computer, itunes will remove what the first computer put on the iphone.
One thing you can do though, is combine our itunes library onto one computer.
This article might help out.

Spreading user data across multiple HD's?

I hope this is the right forum for this. I'm on a Mac Pro 1,1 and recently installed a few extra hard drives to optimize performance for video editing (accoring to recommendations over at another big software company's support docs -- this is not about FCP).
My goal is to have this general set-up:
SSD: Boot Drive (OS & Apps) -- already set up
Disk 2: Editing Project Files, media and exports
Disk 3: Cache, renders and previews
Disk 4: Ideally this would be for docs, itunes, photos and anythings non video related.
The thing is, this advice comes from PC users mainly and the OSX User Folder structure isn't an issue.
Question: Can the same user folder's contents be spread across multiple HD's? I realize I'll need to physically place a different "house" icon folder in each HD, probably, but can those have different contents? How can I make them all boot on start-up so the disk allocation is pretty much not noticeable?
Thanks!

A simple version of what you are trying is to establish a Boot Drive, with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files. All user files are moved off to a different drive.
Here are some simple recipes for Moving the "Home" folder"
Japamac's Blog: Make space for Performance -- Moving the Home Folder

You can embellish this basic setup any way you wish, especially putting Movie data on a different drive, and Movie cache data on yet another drive.

Best way to control audio over multiple slides-iMovie or QT Pro?

I have a 30-slide presentation, and due to the horrendous handling of audio files by Keynote I need figure out the least painful way of controlling audio spanning multiple slides.
My end goal is to have a Quicktime file to put on the web, and to burn to a CD or DVD for viewing on individual computers. There is audio spanning 3 slides (a Garageband mix with voiceover narration built in,)and different audio for background for different groups of slides.
Least painful method to attempt this and get ACCURATE TIMING for the end product?

Make a series of Keynote presentations, one for each complete audio track. Export each as a QuickTime DV (digital video) clip. Launch iMovie and import the clips into a single iMovie project; tweak each clip's audio, as necessary. Finally, export the assembled iMovie to your intended QuickTime format.

I can only distribute the video over two slides??

Hello,
I am trying to insert a video (synchronized), and distribute it over six slides. Unfortuanately, it will only distribute it over 2. I noticed, however, that I can add blank slides behind the first video slide, Captivate will distribute the video across the blank slides. If I took this route, though, I would have to copy and paste every thing from my first "video" slides to the others... Can't I distribute a video over slides that have already been built?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Hi, Ryan. That's got to be totally frustrating. Have you updated to Captivate 8? I hadn't done much with the synchronized video in Cap 7: just too many minor issues for me. However, I've been working with synchronized video in Cap 8, including adding intermediary content slides. It's been working very well for me.
Good luck to you!
