Keynote - the most elegance, well-built application suitable for transforming ordinary slides into extraordinary presentation - maybe sounds unfamiliar to Windows users' ears. In most case, it's due to the fact that Keynote has its own extension; The slides and effects created in Keynote can be opened only with Keynote. However, Keynote is quite popular among Mac users; Perhaps, Steve Jobs also used Keynote for his presentations.
But, as I've experienced, presentations and/or movie effects made on Keynote can surely wow your friends who own only Windows. And for the sake of saving the trouble, I've found a way to export Keynote presentation into QuickTime Movie file (.MOV).
Let's assume that you've got your presentation slides and gorgeous effects ready and set. And now, you want to export your Keynote presentation into movie file, these following steps would be required.
Tip: You can click on the images to see their larger version on Flickr.
Movie without background sound will be a bit dull. Knowing that, should we attach a soundtrack to the movie. It's quite easy to attach soundtrack into your Keynote presentation.
The most interesting thing here is that you can manage your presentation timing using this thing. After the slideshow recording has been started, all clicks and effects performed during that recorded Keynote presentation will be captured.
Your exported movie will play with exact timing as that you set on your recording session.
If you've done your recording process but you found some mistakes in the middle of presentation, you can clear your recording and start all over again.
Summarize: until this point, you've got your soundtrack attached to your Keynote presentation and you've set good timing for your presentation slides.
Now the final step you need to perform is exporting your Keynote presentation to QuickTime Movie.
Note that the size of QuickTime Movie is far bigger than the Keynote file itself.

Nice its perfect for the presentation I have to do this year! Thanks a Lot!
Looks interesting. maybe will help for next school assignment
Is the above written by people that have actually done this? I've been trying for hours to find a way to keep the video in sync when I transfer to quicktime. Seems every other user has this problem too. Fix it for gods sake!
if anyone can help with exporting the keynote presentation to Quicktime with soundtrack attached and the presentation recorded, where the Quicktime movie plays WITH the soundtrack, please let me know. Hours have passed and I did this successfully before but can do it again?
Yeah, I am the one writing the article. And I've tried this for couple of time. If you export the movie before record the timing, the soundtrack won't be in sync with the movie as it's saved in two separate files.
However, by first doing the record timing, your exported movie plus soundtrack will be exported the same timing as when it's recorded. Hope this can help you :)
Wendy, There was aknown problem when Quick Time 7.5 came out - the export from Keynote 4.03 would not work with QT 7.5. The only solution was to go back to QT 7.4. Apple was very VERY slow to fix this. I first experienced in in May 2008 and it was not fixed by late August. Are you saying this strategy works with QT 7.5?
Hi Tom, I was using QT 7.5.5 when I did the exporting.
just spent 20 mins searching this problem on forums. Trick is to add a new slide at the end of your current slide show, record sound briefly on this slide (select record and append not to delete anything) and then stop. Go to the keynote file, right-click show package contents. Look for the m4v file. Send it to garageband and export as an mp3. Whew!
Hi, Thanks a lot for that blog post, I think you just saved my life! Thanks ever so much :-)
Ok I just exported my presentaion in .mov (my client got PC), the issue is that in the same presentation tehre's a 10 min. interview to another client. How can i switch the video? It seems that in the .mov of keynote it's impossible to stop, back or go to a link until the end of the video or an animation.
Once I've saved the Keynote as a QTmovie, I want to be able to share with others via disc. Each time I burn a QTMovie to disc, the slides don't load properly. It's as if there's too much data on the slide and there are hiccups in the timing of the slide movement, incomplete loading of slides and generally poor performance. How to save as a QTMovie (or any format available to PC users and burnable to disc) without the headaches?
I found this solution to exporting with soundtrack on Dec 2nd. However, when I export to iDVD or to Quicktime and burn recorded movie on to iDVD, The soundtrack is now missing! The frustrating exercise takes up to 2 hours at a time to find this out on each attempt. I have tried this a number of times and its very challenging. If anyone can offer a solution it would be most appreciated. ; Right/Control-click the KN file and open the Package Contents. In there is an audio file that has the soundtrack. Open it in QT, select all and copy. Then open the QT file exported from KN, go to the beginning of the movie, select Edit>Add To Movie. Save and you'll be all set.

I wonder how you can do this when everyone else on the web says, and my experience confirms, that the sound narration does not come through into the movie.
1) I created a cool slide presentation 2) I export it to QuickTime then Can I upload to YouTube via QuickTime Pro? I will only spend the $30 if I know for sure the YouTube presentation will look as good as the QuickTime movie.
I found a very ugly fix to the audio not exporting with the video. First export the video into a mov file. Next, if you "control" click on the keynote file and select view package contents, you can then drag the mov or m4a file to the desktop. Now you have the audio and video files. You can use either Adobe Premiere, After Effects or Final Cut Pro (or any other video editing software) to combine the sound and audio into one file. It's a bit hackish, but it works.
Can anyone show me how I can make a short movie to play full length (8 miutes) in the middle of a slide presentation in Keynote, when each slide is designated 10 seconds to play. I want keynote to play this continously non-stop. Ecah time I try this I find that even the movie (MPG4) is playing also 10 seconds only just like the rest of the slides. Your help is greatly appreciated.
The easiest way is to do your keynote with your sound track like you were going to play it on your computer. Then get the progam Snapz Pro X from http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ It does video capture of whatever is on your screen and coming out your speakers. It loads at startup and runs in the background. When you are ready to make your movie, Bring up your Keynote presentation, press Command-Shift-3 and Snapz Pro brings up a control panel where you select what you want. Then hit the Return key and it says "Action" at which point you play your recorded Keynote presentation. When the presentation is over, hit Command-Shift-3 again and Snapz stops recording and says "That's a Wrap." Then a dialog comes up asking you where to save it. That's done. To put it on the web, use QuickTime Pro to shrink it down. I use 15 fps and pretty good sound and it streams nicely from my web site.
Hi, I'm struggling to export a keynote document to quicktime while keeping the audio from a movie that's built into the keynote presentation. I've been in the apple store for 2 hours and on the phone to applecare for an hour and they can't help. I noticed a couple of people mentioned right-clicking on the KN file and selecting Package Contents to isolate the audio and add it separately - but I can't find the 'package contents' koption anywhere in any menu when i ctrl-click. Where do I find package contents on the KN file? My presentation is due in today and I will be disqualified if I can fix this! Please help!
I bet some of you will be very glad to hear that Keynote 09 has the exporting problem of losing the audio fixed. I tested it myself with both a "recorded" presentation and an imported soundtrack. I also tired it with a sound clip simply dragged onto a slide... They ALL came through on the exported movie. Another related problem though was NOT fixed. If you try to changed the resulting ".mov" file some a "wmv" filed in quicktime pro you will be dissappointed to find out that only 7 seconds or so will come through into the new "wmv" file. The 7 seconds or so does work just fine but of course the file is incomplete and useless. Anyone have any ideas of why this might be happening.
Garry, where did you get said "fix". Is there are download available on the support section of apple.com Also, I'm very interested in what Bob Moody was saying above. Looks like Snapz Pro might be the thing we're all looking for. Yeah, we have to get something additional, but Keynote does do a great job of making our stuff scream. Still worth a lot of praise there.
Genius!!! Thanks a lot!
This was a great article - helped me out with an issue I had keeping the timings that I'd set-up. Thanks for writing this and sharing it.
I have completed my Keynote slide show which has a 65 sec movie clip (wmv) about half way through. It works like a dream as a slide show but when I export it to Quicktime, the clip starts to play for about 3 secs and then freezes. The rest of the QT presentation is perfect. I've gone back and checked timings in Slide and Build Inspector and they are fine and as I say, it works fine as a slide show. Can anyone help?
Hi there - This is all sooo helpful! My only problem is that when I record the slideshow including the music, it also records the background noise that occurs while it's recording...is there any way that I can block that and just let it record the audio? The audio sounds so tinny and far-away when I play it back (also includes the dogs barking and me talking...not so good...) Thanks!!
I turn the volume down to zero so that I don't get any feedback from the speakers (i.e. overlaying the music twice). Don't talk or make any sound during recording and my only other recommendation is to shoot the dog before you start ;)
Peter - I thought I tried that and I still get that tinny and far-away sound that Caryn is getting. Any other solutions to prevent that from happening when recording? Caryn - did it work for you?
this article on turning the keynote into quicktime just saved my presentation with 5 minutes to go. My university doesn't have the capabilities to hook up my mac to the projection screen THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, reading all of the above problems and solutions is appreciated, somewhat therapeutic and often actually helpful. I've got another variation to add of my own now. Hopefully I did not overlook this already posted. I too want to export my slideshow to a QT movie for DVD. However, I have created this slideshow with varied timing on different slides and transitions; some will have a duration of 2 seconds, others 3, some with a faster or slower dissolve, etc. I have created a mixed, synched music track (using Garageband) and it plays with perfect timing from KN using the 'self-playing' setting in the Inspector. My problem is that export options offered do not include this timing mode. When exporting to either QT or for iDVD the choices are 'Manual Advance' (not needed) or 'Fixed Timing' which forces me to choose a set time for all slides and transitions. This of course throws the slideshow and music timing way off. Does anyone know any workarounds for this? am thinking my fallback may be the SnapzPro capture option suggested by Bob Moody above, though I hope to be able to get the quality up to DVD level. Many thanks!
OK people, please help...I haven't sen a solution above MY MISSION To convert my Keynote 09 presentation with perfectly set transitions and soundtrack to a Quicktime Movie... THE PROBLEM When I convert to a QT movie, none of the settings work perfectly: 1 - Manual advance - obviously not right 2 - Hyperlinks only - again not right 3 - Recorded Timing - the problem here is that there is a loss in sound quality as the microphone on my imac picks up all the surrounding noise, and the soundtrack is not sharp - considering that the next stop is YouTube, where there will be more loss of quality, this is not a very good option 4 - Fixed Timing - this is no good as I vary the transition timing based on the slides There surely has to be a simple way to do this?? Someone smart out there please help......this is driving me nuts !!!!!!!
NICE this was amazing, my keynote presentation is now perfect. Thanks sooooo much!
Wow -yeah - thank you all for this discussion - the only one I've been able to find - can't believe apple hasn't fixed this - and I hope they're reading. I've spent the last 3 weeks learning how and making a keynote slideshow I'm very happy with, recorded audio voice and music on audacity & dragged the segments onto each slide. I'm so happy with what I ended up with - and now if I try to "record" the slideshow in Keynote the sound is all varied - echoes / quiet, etc... maybe audacity doesn't mix with keynote though they were saved as mp3. It doesn't even come through when I try to save in quicktime. Will attempt the snapZpro and report back. I would love help to get this done if anyone has any ideas!
go to system preferences, hardware, sound - input - turn off the volume and then record your slide show - voila! works for me.
I've just had the most frustrating 4 days of my life. I loved my Keynote presentation - complete with actions and cool effects. But it relied on precision matching to my audio track. When I recorded the presentation, the transitions and actions did not record on time correctly. I ended up having to buy Screenflick ($25) in order to record my 17 minute "live" playing of my KN presentation (the free capture programs normally have a limit of 5 minutes). This is the first time I have been really disappointed with an apple product....I'm still using iwork08. Maybe there'll be a iWork10 that will fix this very annoying problem! I love KN - but there has to be a better way to get it to mp4!
I just found all of these posts.. I have spent the last 5 days trying to get a keynote slideshow with sound to export to quicktime mov . I absolutely love Mac products... LOVE LOVE LOve.. but this has to be the most frustrating situation of have ever encountered with their products. Keynote creates mutliple files when I do the export.. it creates a .mov file and a soundtrack.mov file.. and when I but the output to IDVD guess what... NO SOUND! I tried everything, I took the mov video file and tried to import it into imovie.. thinking pretty simple, I will just add the sound track there.. but guess what... when you try to import the video.. it is grayed out and you cant... this is insane.. can you hear my frustrations.. I simply want to create a video of a slideshow with sound.. There are very few transistions... and the sound is a five min audio looped. Using the screenflick to record the screen it appears that the file is 22G ! ARGHHH this really is overly complicated.. Maybe I will import the slideshow into powerpoint and covert to video from there... Unfortunately it may be my only option. Any suggestions would be great...
Does anybody knows when was this article originally posted? I don't understand why everybody is having such a hard time! I just followed the steps on the article and got perfect results...
OK - here is one for you guys. I've done a business presentation. I've recorded a good quality VO and imported it in to each slide. I've then recorded a slide show. There is echo - but I think I can fix that by turning down the volume on the audio tab and turning down the volume on my PC when it records (I will try this in the morning). MY PROBLEM. For some reason, even though the audio clips I have imported are perfectly timed and there is plenty of 'room' for them - they are 'clipping' i.e stopping about a sentence before the end of each slide. Any ideas on that one. I thought I had followed everyones instruction to the letter. Very stressed by it all. I was in love with this program until this weekend. APPLE - send us a solution....or lose me forever! Tracey
I didn't have time to look through ALL of the comments, so sorry if i'm asking something already asked, but i have a little problem with this. Under the scroll thing, it doesn't have the option "recorded timing", only "fixed timing" "manual advance" and "Hyperlinks Only". I mean, its there, but it's enabled or something and it won't let me select it. I kind of assumed that "fixed timing" would work, but every time i hit "next", it removes what i have for "slide duration". I think this problem has something to do with the fact i'm using the '08 version. I'm on a Powerbook G4.
I've been having this problem for a long time! I made multiple keynote projects, with .mov file as audio and music files, and timewise lines it up with pictures, and video. Now I would like to export to a quicktime movie, or some format to click and play.. Keynote creates mutliple files when I export creating a .mov file and a soundtrack.mov file. I want it together is all.. What/how can I do this, what am I doing wrong. I tried all of the above, since I am very desperate to find a solution, nothing works. I get echo sound of the voiceover when I do the slideshow record function.. :( Please someone smart out there!..
If you want to use 'recorded timings' and it's un-clickable...Record your slide show then export it. Now you will be able to select 'recorded timings'. Just be sure to unclick 'include slideshow recording' as otherwise you will get background noise etc. Make sure you select 'include slideshow soundtrack' and 'include audio'. Done!
Hi Can you please confirm that the keynote version you are referring too regarding QT synchronized exporting is '09? I just want to make sure that the export settings you refer to in your explanation are for this version. Thanks

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.m6S4UZ1CiG9Ucoki

Hello You have a beautifull website. I'm working with keynote for a few month. It's the program that fits my needs the most. Is it possible, to export to Qtime a combination of animated slides and slides who are connected to other slides? Willy
Hello, Hoping someone on this forum might have a suggestion....a slideshow was created by someone using a mac. That person used final cut and then exported to quicktime. , which they used final cut and then quicktime. Now that the dvd is getting played on a pc, they are not seeing any pictures, but they are getting sound. Could there be a setting that needs to be changed on the PC for it to work? The person with the PC already tried updating her quicktime, but that didn't help. Thanks for your help on this, Bonni

I recorded a voice over Keynote lecture to give to students. It is about 83 slides and about 70-90 minutes long. I tired to export it to quick time and I am getting an error message. Has anyone been able to export that long of a lecture before? Any tips to get it to export successfully?
Having read everyones comments on this forum, I wanted to say we're not going mad. I purchased a macbook pro with latest KN software and Quicktime etc.. in January 2011. Have spent 2 months syncing a recorded audio file to a KN presentation to perfection. STILL the problem with exporting Keynote to video in Quicktime. Likewise, the fixed timing requirement of Youtube for uplodaded videos stymies any labouriously created syncing. Sigh. Apple are actually misrepresenting what Keynote can do. Its illegal (aside from wasting hours and hours of valuable earning time of entrepreneurs/creatives across the board, sorry I mean globe). Apple and Apple employees know that this glitch exists. This type of oversight will keep them in the fancy-toys-for-teenagers realm and will break their neck with business customers in the end. Poor Apple, rotten to the Core on this.
Most audio problems solved: Using KN'09 Create whole slideshow with all your fancy transitions and timings and audio any way you like. On each slide or whole doc audio. Then Record Slideshow. Make as much noise as you like and even let your audio be "overheard" during the recording. It won't matter. If the recording goes well for you it will soon be a perfect .mov Share - Export...select Recorded Timing Audio: UNTICK "Include the slideshow soundtrack" ( otherwise all these echo problems mentioned above are going to end up in your .mov ) Result is a perfect .mov with only the inbuilt audio. My only problems have been bugs in the recording process itself , with some slides not Transitioning properly when clicked. Help with that would be great.
got some issues uploading to youtube etc - am using a lot of video, and transitions just seem to give up and fall over, despite recording above I know it's because the files are 3gig, but does anyone know of anything I can do to get a polished looking vid?>?>?

Hi Do you know why the recorded timing option is not available when trying to export as a quicktime movie. it does not give me the option, Only fixed timing, manual advance and hyperlinks only. I have chosen fixed time and 1.00 second slide and build duration. Seems to work fine but worried I am missing something here. Any ideas. Look forward to hearing from you .
Alas, a clear and concise how to. How can the resultant .mov files be compressed? Thanks.
Hi All. I've too have spent hours trying to make KN export a fancy slide show with lots of video, timings and transitions. It basically does not work. Any Apple engineers reading this thread - please take note. This is shameful. Reading lots of the tips on this thread, I can say that none of them actually solve the problem except for the SnapzProX option. I didn't want to spend $69 - especially as I wasn't sure it would solve the problem. I also thought that I must be able to use the software on my Mac to get the job done. After a lot of time wasted, I can say that I've found a reliable work-around. Here it is: 1- export the KN movie using Fixed Timings (1s for both options). For some reason Fixed Timings are added to whatever timings you have set in your deck. 2 - If you're using a backing track, do not include it in the export. You can ad this back in later. In place audio (e.g. in a video clip) is fine. 3- Your .mov file will have lots of pauses, blanks, etc. It will be longer than you want it. 4- fire up iMovie and create a new Project. Import your newly created .mov file. 5- use iMovie to chop out the pauses, and if needed add in more stills, etc. Basically get the timing and flow back into your movie this way. Helps if you already know how to use iMovie, but worth learning if you don't. 6- Add your backing track into the edited project in iMovie, remembering to reduce it's volume if you don't want it to overpower other audio in the movie. 7- export the new movie to wherever you need it. Lots of options in iMovie. It worked for me, and I hope it works for you. Had I read this myself, I would have saved around 3 hours last night. Bottom line is that the Keynote software should just work. This is what we've all come to expect from Apple. This work-around is something that reminds me of trying to make Microsoft software work back in the days. Be great to see it fixed.
it's 20 april 2012, i have iwork '09, the only version avail, i had KN 5.0, and today bought KN 5.1.1 hoping it would help - after spending 3 days at apple store in madison, WI with 7 apple team members (who have solved every other thing i'v come across) nobody has figured this one out yet. these work-arounds sound bizarre. KN audio and animations should work and be exportable. why wouldn't apple want to fix this?
I agree that Apple is letting us down on this one. They have a lot of great things going on in keynote, but almost like they were snoozing through some important programming sessions sessions
