Hello RevJohnThompson,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!


Let's make sure you've followed these steps to export the file to Movie. Follow the steps included in Record Keynote presentations on Mac to make sure the presentation is recorded. As a good best-practice, make sure it is exactly how you want it, so you want to view it in Keynote:

"With the presentation open, do one of the following:

  • Play recorded presentation in full screen: Choose Play > Play Recorded Slideshow.
  • Play recorded presentation in a window: Choose Play > Play Recorded Slideshow in Window.

To stop playing the presentation, press Esc."


Once finished then export it.

  1. Open the presentation,
  2. File > Export To > Movie

Some things to consider:

" If you recorded a narration, you can click the Playback pop-up menu, then choose Slideshow Recording. Otherwise, your presentation is self-playing and advances to the next slide or build according to the time intervals you enter. If you have an animation that’s set to advance following a previous build or transition, it’s not affected by the time interval you enter. Click the Resolution pop-up menu, then choose a resolution. To set a custom resolution, click Custom at the bottom of the menu."

This information is found in Export to PowerPoint or another file format in Keynote on Mac and should resolve this issue.


Kind regards.
