Converting Keynote slide files to a movie file with sound?

I use both Keynote '09 and Powerpoint for Mac on my iMac, and it turns out that when you convert a Powerpoint slideshow to a movie, the recorded narration does not also get converted. (Weird.)

So, my question: Will Keynote will allow me to make a timed slideshow with audio narration, and then allow me to convert it to a movie file?

Thanks. 🙂

Hello Penman61,

Indeed, this can be done with Keynote.

To create a QuickTime movie of your slideshow:

Choose Share > Export and then click QuickTime.

Choose an option from the Playback Uses pop-up menu:

Manual Advance: Viewers advance through the slideshow by clicking the mouse or Play (in the QuickTime controls), or by pressing the Space bar on the keyboard.

Hyperlinks Only: Viewers advance through the slideshow by clicking hyperlinks.

Recorded Timing: If you recorded your slideshow (as described in Recording a Voiceover Narration), your slideshow movie plays using the timing you recorded.
