Hey guys,

Got a couple questions:

So I do a lot of work with Keynote. More and more I am getting work that I have to export as a video. The problem is that often I have to add voice-over (VO) or a musical soundtrack and when I export it something strange happens where the video will open (and play immediately) in QuickTime (QT) but I have to click my mouse to get the audio track to play, and often it won't be in sync.

My question is: (1) Why does Keynote do this and is there a way around it?

Now, I've tried exporting at full quality as a QT file and importing that into iMovie, then doing all my audio there, but when I export the video I get a really grainy and sub-par image quality.

So my other questions are: (2) How can I export at full-quality and retain it? I prefer to sync audio after exporting from Keynote because its easier to do in programs such as iMovie. I also have the Compressor so would you guys recommend using that to compress the video from Keynote? Basically I've tried all the video export options from Keynote and it just doesn't look good when imported into iMovie...

Thanks in advance!
