Combine Keynote2 audio/video tracks via QuickTime Pro
Authored by: enentrup on Mar 10, '05 09:57:43AM
Interesting! I was just working on a similar workflow, but taking a presentation OUT of Keynote to Final Cut Pro.

I found I could: Export>Quicktime>Custom and then choose 720x480 with the Apple DV/DVCPro NTSC Codec. I set my frame rate to 29.97fps and brought the finished file into FCP. It looked RAZOR sharp, but there was distortion because of the square vs. rectangle pixel consideration I failed to take into account. I did it again 720x540 (I think, but that doesn't sound right), and it was much better. Of course you can fix this in FCP too.

The problem, however, was that I noticed what seemed like an errant frame rate on playback viewed on my NTSC monitor. Sure enough, the file was at 28 fps and NOT 29.97. Hmmm... This stumped me. On subsequent attempts, the same thing: select 29.97 and end up with 28. It's nearly imperceptible, but I KNOW it's there and I don't want to let that sit there unfixed. Anyhow, in a pinch, I know it works well enough and can now look towards using Keynote presentations in Final Cut Pro projects for appropriate needs.
