I have a short QT movie that I need to play in a Keynote presentation. The movie (video) plays flawlessly in the QT player, but when I drag and drop it on to a slide in Keynote, it's horrendous. The audio plays okay, but the video is choppy, gets stuck, etc. Here are the specs:
Keynote 4.0.1
QuickTime Movie
Size 11.9 MB
Dimensions: 640 x 480
Codecs: AAC, H.264
Duration: 1:04
Total bit rate: 1,558
I really need to get this worked out by Sunday. Can anybody help?

Try encoding the vid with MPEG4 instead of H264

Actually, Leopard has broken the ability of video to play in Keynote. I find it remarkable that no one has posted about this here at all. I railed against this, because my livelihood depends on it, in the Apple Support Forums. Then Apple yanked my post, because I was threatening to go back to Win PowerPoint.

Well here's more on this problem. I posted my results on Apple's support forums, but it bears repeating here. I did a complete install of Leopard and the video bug was still there.
Then I did a clean install of Tiger and the bug was still there!  Since the identical file plays fine on my Alu iMac 20, the problem must lie in the MacBook's graphic hardware.
I hope that with these tips Apple can address the problem soon because it's bedeviling tons of presenters, who probably have been taking a nice Thanksgiving break but are about to return to the speaking circuit next week and discover to their horror that videos won't play.

I can't guarantee that this is a universal solution, but a colleague at work had the same problem, and solved it by removing the Perian "Quicktime Swiss-Army knife" plug-in that enables viewing DivX and other format movies with the Quicktime Player. It may be that any video codec plug-in causes the problem; I don't know.
