When exported to movie any embedded video either does not play or plays jin a series of jerks.

I've Sonoma 14.0 running. Anyone experiencing the same? Any suggested fix?

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.

Thanks ekliphuis.

I tried running the video clips through Handbrake and saving as MPEG-4 clips before embedding in the keynote file and the resultant exported movie file from Keynote played OK using Quicktime.

I can now resume producing some decent information and actual video clips on my local golf club lounge display screen.

Information is appreciated.
