movies will not play on keynote slideshow exported movie

Using Keynote 13.2 on MacBook Pro Ventura 13.5. I have been successfully recording keynote slideshows for the last three years. I have always embedded video elements and they have always played in the recorded slideshow but now they will not play. I have tried the optimizing options with no success. Any advice will be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.5

Use the steps below to create a video of your keynote presentation:


1: Open the presentation, then click to select the first slide in the slide navigator.

2: Choose Play > Record Slideshow (from the Play menu at the top of your screen). The presenter display appears with recording controls visible at the bottom of your screen.
3: To customize the presenter display before you start recording, move the pointer, then click the Display Configuration button. For more details about modifying the display, see Customize the presenter display.
4: Click the Start Recording toggle button to record your presentation.
The timer counts down from 3 before recording begins.

5: Do any of the following while recording the presentation:
* Go to the next slide or build: Press the Right Arrow key.
* Go back a slide or reset the builds on the slide: Press the Left Arrow key.
* Jump to a different slide: Press any number to make the slide navigator appear, enter the slide number, then press Return.
* Open or close a list of keyboard shortcuts: Press the Question Mark (?) key on your keyboard. You can use the shortcuts to control your presentation.

If the issue persists or you need more help, providing a bit more information and context can increase the chance you'll get a helpful response from the community.


For example, what type of video is being used? What's the source of the video? What are you seeing instead of the video in your recording?
