Recording keynote presentation: how to add video in addition to audio

Keynote's new "record presentation" is terrific, especially now with conferences asking for pre-recorded talks. I like the following features:

  • It lets you see the "presenter view" with the next slide beside the current slide while recording.
  • It allows incremental recording: you can easily stop the recording, rewind, and re-record the last bit.
  • It lets you edit the slides and keep the audio: for example, if you find a typo in the first slide, you don't need to record the whole thing again, just correct the typo and re-create the movie of the recording.
  • It's fast, doesn't require wifi, etc.



The only missing feature is that this is only audio and not video: I would like the movie of my presentation to have a small box showing me talking like you see on zoom. It would be great if I could use my laptop's webcam to add this. Is it possible?


Thanks!

There is no inbuilt tool to do this in Keynote, however Quicktime is used to do this.


  • Open Quicktime application
  • File > New Movie Recording
  • click on the red record button
  • press black stop button when finished
  • close and save


Drag the movie file onto a slide then size and position, to show on a single slide, or drag onto the Slide Master (View > Master Slide) to show over the complete presentation.
