can you extract a movie from a keynote presentation?

I have a keynote presentation made by someone else and I want to extract the movie which is contained in the presentation to use as a standalone movie. Using Inspector I can see that the file is a .mov but I can't copy/past or drag/drop the file. Any help would be great!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

What used to be called the Metrics Inspector is now available under the Format tab (paint brush) on Keynote Toolbar. To copy a video from a Keynote slide, do the following:


- Click on the movie on the slide to select it

- Click on Format

- Click on the Movie Tab

- Locate File Info and you should see the file name of the video

- To the left of the file name is an icon - click and hold on the icon

- Drag the Icon (not the file name) to your desktop or wherever else you'd like to save a copy of the video


Hope this helps.
