Why is audio truncated when "shared"

I have an hour of keynote presentations that have correctly working audio. (Recorded and dragged and dropped to individual slides.)
One short presentation (2 min) works perfectly when played in Keynote, but invariably truncates when shared to either iTunes or iWeb. (please see link)
http://www.brentcbrolin.com/BrentCBrolin/TestPodcast/TestPodcast.html
This has a video podcast and a Keynote download link. The audio works on the latter; not on the former.
I have tried various kinds of transition changes, but nothing helps. And, besides, the existing transitions DO WORK IN KEYNOTE playback and when KN file is shared (and downloaded).
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

This is awkward, but it did solve the problem.
Goal: To have the same picture (call it A) continue on screen as the show goes from slide 1 to slide 2. That is, to not have A “blink” when the slides change between 1 & 2.
(N.B. All slides have MP3 narrations; these were recorded in audio program and dropped onto each slide.
Problem: As long as I did not give picture A an EXIT transition, the audio on slide 1 was truncated when I “shared” the slide show to iTunes or iWeb.
I had thought I could just have NO EXIT transition for A on slide 1, and have no entry transition for A on slide 2 (which would avoid the “blink” between 1 & 2.
And when I previewed it in Keynote, THE AUDIO WORKED PERFECTLY, even when picture A on slide 1 had NO EXIT transition.
However, the truncation of audio on slide 1 did occur whenever I shared the same show to iTunes or iWeb (.mov).
I tried many variations including:
a “stop audio” transition with a lot of extra time at end of slide 1;
delaying the “start transition” in the “slide” window of inspector of slide 1;
...but all resulted in truncated audio on slide 1, as long as picture A DID NOT HAVE AN EXIT TRANSITION.
However, if I did give picture A an EXIT transition on slide 1, the audio was not truncated (but, of course, I had a “blink” between slide 1 and 2).
Solution:
Hide a rectangle (or any graphic) behind picture A on slide 1.
Give that blind rectangle an EXIT transition…
…but don’t give picture A an exit transition.
This fools Keynote: it segues from slide 1 to 2 without a “blink,” and the audio narration is not truncated.
But it took a day to figure it out. (I removed the link to the examples mentioned in first post.)

    why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)?

    Hello again @st3lla,
    I can understand the fear of messing up a computer when I first started seriously working on computers back in the early 90's I had to format and re-install my operating system twice a day for quite a while before I figured out a very important step (at least important for me), and that was after I made a change to my computer to restart it. This way if I messed something up I only had to undo one thing and not 50 because I went wild on it. lol
    Anyways, do not be afraid of your computer all you need to do is learn that step, how to keep your personal items backed up and then of course how to re-install your computer back to factory and you can always start over with a fresh build.
    On to your questions:
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all HP updates are done.
    A - Simply review the HP Support document: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) and it will guide you through the process.
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all Windows updates are done?
    A - Simply review the Microsoft Support document: Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions and again you will find answers to this question. (***Note: Do not worry if the document refers to Windows 8.1 it is only an upgraded version of Windows 8 and the steps are the same)
    I am also including a Windows Support document: Install the latest Windows 8.1 Update, which will guide you through how to install the Windows 8.1 update on your computer.
    And finally, to put your mind at ease I am providing you with two important HP Support documents: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), and Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will provide you with all the instructions you need to backup your personal files so you do not loose them if you ever do mess up the computer, as well as provide you with instructions on how to put your computer back to how it came from the factory.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you once again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Why is audio quality of shared movie poor compared to created project in iMovie?

    I created a movie using iMovie (10.04) and the sound was great. The final shared movie file on my hard drive had very poor audio.

    Hi
    Can You PLEASE tell me (us) what kind of material You used (all of it)
    - Video CODEC - not just .mp4 or .wmv etc - BUT open the video file in QuickTime-player then open Instructor [cmd+I] and read
    Video format (Codec): nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    Frames per second: YY.yy
    What does it say ?
    - Audio file formats used: ? (and from where - Audio-CD, iTunes, audio files from SD-card etc)
    - Photo file formats used: ? (and from where - folder/camera etc)
    Most probably iMovie got a problem in converting to it''s native format.
    Else running low on space on the START-UP (Boot) Hard Disk - also gives poor results - I never go less than 25Gb free space when using SD-Video quality and about 4-5 times more if HD-material is used.

  • Audio missing when shared to QT

    Hi,
    I've shared a 52minute movie original in iM6HD to QuickTime and on two occasions the audio is completely missing in the resulting .mov (and also a .wmv version I made).
    This is a pain as it takes hours to save to QT.
    Where am I going wrong, guys?
    TT

    Your audio settings may have been changed.
    1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
    2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
    3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

    More info on audio missing in iMovie here:

    Alternatively, if the audio was from copy-protected tracks from iTunes, they won't copy over. If that is the case post back for a workaround.

  • Re:  audio slides when sharing to youtube

    Working in imovie '11.  Everything's fine in my project until I share to youtube.  Once on youtube, the audio slips out of sync (usually about 1:30-2:00 in).  I've seen different tutorials on work arounds, but nothing's worked so far.  Ideas? 

    Same Issue, iMovie 10.0.7., Mavericks
    The only solution I found was to share at the lowest 480 resolution.
    All other resolutions crash my entire computer / full reboot.

  • TS2289 Audio in iMovie 11 files but missing in sections when shared to iDVD. The movie and audio plays fine in iMovie but my burned iDVD  movie is missing some audio .

    I imported a movie into iMovie 11 from a Canon Vixia HFR 300 SD card with no problem. I have a new iMac running OsX 18.8.4 I think. I added chapter markers and shared it with iDVD. And burned it to a DVD.  Towards the end of this 30 minute movie the sound just stops. I do remember some screen came up when I wanted to burn DVD that said something was wrong with files but I couldn't figure what do to fix it and allowed me to continue. Any ideas?

    Hi
    Either the problem is in iMovie or in iDVD
    two notes
    No Audio in iMovie
    Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
    Work around -
    • Select needed audio to one new playlist
    • Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
    • Use this in the movie-project
    Other origins are
    1. strange / alient file formats as -
    • .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
    • Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
    2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
    • Close iMovie and other programs
    • Start GarageBand
    • Make a new GB-project and play some notes
    • Close GB and Save
    • Now try iMovie again
    3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
    a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”
    b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
    without me knowing why.
    4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
    • Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K
    Stuttering audio and video
    1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
    2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
    Mix down to one audio clip
    3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
    4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
    5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
    4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
    Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
    scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
    6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
      •OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:

  • Why won't FCP X burn the menu background image when sharing directly to DVD?

    At one point recently I was able to drop in a jpg file so that FCP X would display this image in the menu background when a disc is burned directly out of FCP X when sharing directly to DVD. It worked at first, and then I decided I needed a higher quality image, but this one won't burn. My DVD now just has a black menu background. I can't figure out why this is happening. Please help! I'm using a late 2008 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 15" with OS 10.8.4. FCP X is up to date as well. My harddrive is fairly full in case that might cause some errors. Are there any specs on what type and size an image FCP wants for this function? Thanks for any help!
    Gregg

    Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..
