Hi Everyone,
I am using keynote and I want to make a movie clip. I had a series of slides where I varied stuff and then exported it as a quicktime. The movie plays great, but the slide area is much larger than I need. I then found that you can apply a mask in quicktime to cut out all but the area you want. This works fine when I play it in quicktime, but when I import it into another keynote I want to play the movie in, I get significant artifacts when it plays. I mean that I get random black shapes showing up all over the places and it continues to twitter even after the movie is played. I tried exporting the movie to another format, but quicktime doesn't do it correctly and not all the things move that should. (The movie is of this peak that is growing while something else is blinking between two different states) Any help of how I can make this would be great. I have access to adobe products through my school, but I can only do relatively simple things in photoshop and would prefer something simple.
Thanks!

EDIT: I figured out how to manually make it in photoshop so no problem there, but it is kind of annoying that I couldn't use keynote and quicktime to make it using advertised features.
