Keynote on Apple TV

Does anyone know how to transfer Keynote Presentations to Apple TV?

Download them from ITMS, they are free if the one you want is available.

You can't technically have Keynotes synced to the Apple TV.

But...

You can take snapshots of the slides and then create an album in iPhoto and then have that album sync to the Apple TV.

So it would be the same thing with the effects and all but they would just be pictures instead of actual Keynote slides.

Just a suggestion if you really need Keynote presentations on the Apple TV

No Problem!

Let me know if that was what you where looking for.

You should be able to "share" a Keynote presentation to a mov file. Once you have that, I think you can export the mov file from quicktime to ATV?

I have not tried it myself yet but will make an attempt.

Thank you for your comment, but I wanted to know how to transfer own presentations created with Keynote.

Sorry. Had assumed you were referring to "Keynote Addresses" which, since they are streamed, normally have to be "screen captured" and are, therefore, not easily converted by QT Pro to iPod/TV compatible formats.

Does someone know how to manage this?

Not a "Keynote" user, so it took me a few hours to run some tests and finally create a working iPod/TV compatible file using the "iWork Tour" Keynote file. Sorry about the delay. If you have QT Pro, you can open the following URL using the "Open URL..." File menu command and test it on your TV:

Assumed you just wanted a "Self-Playing Movie" for TV use. Main problem seems to have been the lack of an audio track. Made about a half dozen tests using all three workflows in direct and indirect conversions. In the end, I simply added an MP3 audio track to a previous test file and ran it through the the "Movie to MPEG-4" export with video set for "pass through" so I could get an AAC audio track. Now have both files loaded to iTunes but only the "audio" file version will stream to my TV. Very strange. Will have to run additional tests when I have additional free time as these tests and upload have likely added an hour or two my own conversions already in progress since about 10 AM this morning. May be quicker for you to run some parallel tests and report your findings back here. Did not try to optimize my run -- just get it to play through TV -- since you did not post any specifications for your Keynote project.

MacWorld online covered this with a special article, entitled "Displaying presentations via Apple TV". Here is the link to it:

Hi Ralph
FYI there are a number of us out here trying to do the same thing. Here are some links>

I was interested in this also. With some success! So using the information from MacWorld I made a Keynote presentation exported it into Quicktime then put it into movies in iTunes. All works very well except I exported it with a loop so that it would play continuously in the entryway of the library with upcoming events. The quicktime movie did loop but when synced to Apple TV it does not loop to play continuously. This would mean that we have to restart it every ten minutes or so. Not a good thing. Anyone have a good solution.

May not be a "good" solution, but you can always loop the video several times into a much longer video, and THEN put that video on AppleTV. Then you'd only have to restart it every hour, or two, depending on how many times you looped it.

Humm, this is a problem, I thought you could loop in Apple TV. This and the fact that you don't have to do the save as a movie step may put me back to my original solution of using a Mac Mini running Keynote.
