Keynote export to Quicktime - no sound

The problem still exist on 14th of October... Incredible...
Any workaround is working for me....
I'm amazed by this behavior since I know Apple is spending a lot of money to control quality...

Record your Keynote presentation slide changes and narration. Save.

Right click the presentation file to view Package Contents. Copy the narraration file and drag it into Itunes.

Open the presentation and Export to Quicktime movie.

Launch iMovie, add the presentation .mov file

Using the Media chooser, find your narration in iTunes and add it as if it were a song soundtrack.

Save.

Rock on.

Yes bonfiglio funziona!
It is a good workaround, but unfortunately only a workaround....
What Apple is doing?? In iweb comments are not working anymore, in keynote voice is not working...

I think I found a quicker workaroud:
Open the m4a file inside your keynote package with quicktime. Select all and copy. Open the movie you keynote export in quicktime and from the menu Edition select "add to the movie". The sound is now incorporated...
Hope it helps because it takes you less than a minute..

Thankyou bonfiglio - having tried a good number of various workarounds suggested in these pages, barring the downgrade to QT7.4, spending £20 on QT Pro and using "add to movie" to add the Slideshow Recording m4a sound file from the Keynote package to the .mov file works.

Thanks again.

Now apple - sort it out - this has cost me a whole afternoon of mucking about!

I am a bit confused why there are several audio files in the package...
narrationTrack1.m4a 2.1MB and narrationTrack1.mov 48KB
then narrationSegment2.mov 1.2 MB and narrationSegment2-1.mov 32KB

Why all the darned files, and why the same audio in different formats and sizes.. grrrr

catburlow's work around is much easier than mine:

Open the m4a file inside your keynote package with quicktime. Select all and copy. Open the movie you keynote export in quicktime and from the menu Edition select "add to the movie". The sound is now incorporated...

I did have to pull out the various sound files (some .mov & some .ma4), preview them then paste (Add) them to the movie in the correct order. The .ma4 files did not always have the entire narration in it.

You're fairplay bonfiglio! What a buon figlio you are!
I will try when I have a moment to do a long narration

When I do that with a sample Keynote file (copy the narration track and open with either iTunes or QT) there is no audio. The Keynote file plays the recorded audio fine, however. Any suggestions?

Hey APPLE why is this even an issue? I use Keynote all the time and the one thing that makes Keynote a great product is the ability to add narration to the presentation and export to Quicktime for distribution. Of course I blindly upgrade the software when told to and now the new Quicktime has ground my business to a halt. This has caused some serious problems with a deadline and has made Keynote useless to me.

I tried the QuickTime downgrade option and it totally messed with the computer authorization in the new iTunes and didn't fix the problem

Two Apple products, Keynote and Quicktime, why are we having this conversation. FIX IT!

Does anyone at Apple read this stuff?

I am new to Keynote and thought it was my incompetence as I couldn't believe that Apple would get this so wrong......anyway, for my simple presentation I included the soundtrack as a .WAV file from iTunes and it worked. I guess it all depends if you need music, as I did or are trying to include a narration.

Lets hope Apple get this fixed soon......but in the mean time this may help someone.

Did anyone try if Keynotes '09 is having the same problem?
I seem to get the same results as with Keynotes '08. Hope this is just me being stupid.

FYI - I just updated to Quicktime 7.6. It seems like this new update to Quicktime will resolve the problem of exporting Keynote presentations with audio to .mov files. The audio that I recorded in Keynote is playing in the .mov file when played in Quicktime, in iTunes, etc.

One warning that I can give you that seems to be a bug (that will hopefully be resolved sometime soon...) - if you are going to send the Keynote presentation with audio to Garageband, make sure that there is not another .band file open within Garageband (in other words, close out your project before quitting Garageband). If there is already another .band file open for editing in Garageband when you send your Keynote presentation there, you'll crash both Garageband and Keynote.

Thank you, Apple, for resolving this. And not a moment too soon - I have about sixty or so presentations to export as podcasts by the end of the month.

I've had a very bad time with the latest Keynote '09...

I created a Keynote with links. None of the links nor pages will load properly when I export it as a quicktime file. All of the links after my 4th slide will just resort to the 5th slide. No matter WHAT the link is for. Very odd...

I miss the Flash export from the previous version of Keynote, though it also didn't export well (lacked the transitional effects for some...)

-sigh-

Hey Guys,

I am a prof at a university and recently started podcasting my lectures, thought that the Keynote thing was the way to go and experienced the fustrations. None of the fixes worked for me except to import the audio file in garageband after exporting the movie file, then deleting the recording.

Today I tried Keynote 09 and I have done three presentations without a hitch. Yay!
