Keynote does not export embedded video when exporting to movie format

I am having the same problem. Tried all settings for an entire day, thinking it might be a subtile setting. Worked fine before is what boggled me. Now I understand it is a bug after update to 13.2. And a humongous bug I should say. The "movie export" is bust if you use embedded video or animations. I wonder how many people are struggling with this as we speak. Apple please fix asap. If only I could roll back to 13.1

I use a lot of video in my presentations for clients, my hands are tight.

This just worked for me -> exporting the Keynote file to my iPad and exporting to a movie from there. I realise that path may not be available to you, but it just dug me out of a very big hole. Hope someone may find the info useful.

Come on Apple, you broke it, get on and fix it!

I second this work around. I had similar problem after recent Keynote update video export jerky and audio okay. Very frustrating. However, I airdropped it to my iPhone export the video there and airdrop back on Mac. Annoying additional steps but work until Apple fix the issue.

Hope this helps

Has anyone ever heard back from Apple on this? It's been nearly four months with no explanation as to why or how this is happening. As someone who used Keynote daily (Instagram, YouTube) it's left me dead in the water.

Same exact issue and I'm on a deadline! Exported the presentation from the Mac to iPad via AirDrop, then exported the presentation into a movie and shared it back to the Mac via AirDrop. I got lucky that this project is simple. Had it been one of my more complexed projects I would have been up a creek!

On another note, I found it interesting that iPad exports in .mov files. Just for giggles I tried exporting a slide with ProRess 422 LT just to see if the .mov would work being exported from Mac... it did not.

I confirm I experience the same behaviour as this "I export my Keynote to a movie format, the video does not play. It just jitters on the first second. The sound exports correctly, as do the text animations."

1. I have a Keynote with several animations
2. I 'Record' the slideshow with an embedded voiceover soundtrack which I align with the slides
3. The embedded video within the Keynote plays correctly in 'Play Recorded Slideshow'
4. Video Exported from Keynote delivers 'the jitters' when played on: AppleTV, Quicktime and on my iPhone. So, I conclude the Movie export from Keynote version 13.2 is faulty.
5. I opened an earlier Keynote that had succesfully exported the exact same pieces of video. That export movie was done on 2023-07-21 T15:17h, probably with the then-current Keynote. Interesting, the earlier-exported movie works fine. However, when I export the recorded slideshow using the current version of Keynote (13.2), I get 'the jitters'.
6. Conclusion. A bug has been introduced into either Keynote 13.2, or whatever Keynote uses to render videos from a record Slideshow.
7. My interim solution will be to use Screenflow to record the Recorded Slideshow.

My platform is

Keynote 13.2 (7038.0.87)

Ventura 13.6.1

iMac Retina 5K 27-inch 2017

Graphics Radeon Pro 580 8GB

3.8 GHz Quad

Memory 48 GB

Postscript

I also just tried the following, with no benefit

1. Reset Keynote Settings/General/Adding Media/Optimise Movies for iPhone, iPad, older devices TO UNCHECKED

Ah ok I get it. Thank you for explaining. Too much work around for me, I would have to reset my entire work mode. I use keynote movies for in-store tv screen presentations. It always has video component effects etc. With the right settings this worked like a charm, up to a few days ago. Can't believe I am running into this major problem with Keynote. I would expect Apple to be on top of it with such a product.

I am also experiencing this issue since downloading the latest update. Not sure why Apple hasn't responded to the issue or why no one seems to be concerned with this but it's very frustrating when I rely on this feature.

1 - Make a duplicate of your original Keynote

2 - Right Click on the Duplicate of your Keynote and view the package contents.

3- Open the folder called “Data” and remove your embedded videos contained within it by moving them to another location or folder like your desktop.

4 - Re-encode your videos using “Handbreak.app” with similar format settings but outputting them with “Fast 1080p30” with video encoder set to “MPEG-4”

5 - Open the duplicate keynote file in keynote app. It should say the movies embedded are corrupt.

6 - Replace the media now in the document with your new re-encoded videos.

7 - Now export from keynote again and your new movie will look a lot better.

Same problem here. What should have been a simple date change in my keynote document now looks to be a total rebuild in iMovie, sans some of the effects. Whatever the benefits of the latest update, it is in fact a gigantic step backward if this continues.

It’s unlikely Apple will respond or indeed act.

The glitch has been reported several times, but I don’t think it’s been registered in amongst the millions of message they no doubt receive.

Very frustrating nonetheless.

I'VE GOT THE SOLUTION – but it may not work for everybody.

Okay Gang,

This issue has been a problem since May 29, 2022 when Keynote 12.1 was introduced or when it was updated on June 21, 2022. I know this because my wife's iMac is running 12.1 and the video export is screwed up there too, although not quite as screwed up as 13.0.

I never encountered the problem because I was using an older iMac which was running Keynote 11.0.1, and my older MacBook Pro was using Keynote 11.1. When I bought my new iMac, it came with 13.0 and suddenly I was stuck with the problem all of you are experiencing.

But I found a solution and it took me about three minutes to fix the problem.

It made sense to me that if I could install a previous version of Keynote, specifically 11.0 or 11.0.1, that would fix the problem. But I was talking to an Apple Advisor this morning and he said that wasn't possible. I thought he was wrong... and in fact, he was wrong.

After a search I found this site: https://www.inkppt.com/post/install-previous-version-keynote

It was created by a brilliant young man named Abhijeet Kumar, who is a student at The Pennsylvania State University: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhijeeetkumar/ I'm now following Abjijeet on LinkedIn.

What Abhijeet's solution requires is for you to have access to an older iMac or laptop that is still running 11.0. Fortunately, I'm always slow to update applications, so both of my other Macs were running versions of Keynote 11.

As I said, it took about three minutes to install the old version from my MacBook onto my new iMac and to toss 13.0 into the trash. [Note: Abhijeet grew up in India where they refer to the "trash," as the "bin." So you will see "bin" in his instructions on getting rid of 13.0.]

So now on my new iMac I'm running Keynote 11.0.1 which was created in 2021 and last modified on March 30, 2021 and it works perfectly.

Shame on Apple's Keynote team for not correcting this issue three years ago when it popped up.

Best of luck to all of you!

Sincerely
