Q: When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.

 

The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.

 

Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?

 

Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.

 

OS X Yosemite version 10.10

Keynote version 6.5

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    I'm having the exact same issue, and I stupidly re-recorded audio twice, thinking I'd screwed something up.  And I've been making Keynote videos successfully for more than a year.

     

    This fix solved my problem.  I hoped Apple gets on this and addresses this major bug.

    Red Viking,

     

    You are a genius! Thank you very much for this recommendation as it worked perfectly well, I played my entire presentation and the audio was there!!

    After importing it to Quicktime, same thing!!

    Thank you a million time for this sharp caption!

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Daniel,

    Not exactly the same thing, but I see something similar in 6.6.1. With a plain Play or conversion to QuickTime, audio in many slides is chopped off, even though some working slides have longer than 30 seconds of audio. Anyway, converting to a package didn't work, but saving as Keynote '09 appears to work so far (about two-thirds done). That something so fundamental to operation is not working is just abysmal.
