any people will be frustrated to no end trying to drag an image out of Keynote onto the desktop or other folder (which you would expect to be able to do), so as to reuse that image in another presentation. Here's an alternative.

Go to the Keynote presentation in the Finder and Control-click on the file ... scroll to Show Package Contents and voila, there are your images and movies, etc. This will be nothing new to those familiar with Packages, but perhaps useful to those who don't know how Keynote (and Pages) keeps its files together. Copy those that you need to use to a new folder, and you're done.

So instead of resorting to taking screen captures, or using the Export feature in Keynote, just take a look at the package file in the Finder.
