Super-Bug: Quicktime export in Keynote 6 is faulty

Unlike the great export to Quicktime feature in Keynote 09 we now have a bunch of bugs in a basket called "Keynote 6".


Movies are not anymore played to their physical (or trimmed) length - the automatic transition time stops the movie playback in the QT-export file after the time given for an automatic progress to the next slide - regardless of how long the placed movie file is. We need this essential feature back, because without this we can't export presentations to QT for standalone use.


The only workaround is to set an Out-animation for the placed movie, but then later in the exported QT file the image is stuck after a few seconds (while sound is running as normal). So this is not working either.


And even worse: alongside the right edge the exported QT movies flicker visibly if there are backgrounds in the presentation other than white.


Please repair!

Good catch! I just ran into this problem. I do presentations that include clips of upcoming PBS shows and sometimes need to pack the whole thing into Quicktime for others to use when I'm not available. I just spent an hour trying to fix this issue and look for workarounds, but ultimately gave up and moved back to Keynote '09. I sure hope Apple fixes this.

There'a a way to do this:

  1. open Quicktime
  2. Files -> New Screen Record
  3. Start record
  4. play keynote (with all animation that make it work alone chasing after transition o after previous animation instead of after mouse click)
  5. after it has finish, stop recording
  6. open video and cut the keynote part
  7. that's it

It works for me!
