Using Sound and Movies

You can add audio—a music file or playlist from your iTunes library, or any other sound
file—to a Keynote document. You can add sound in the following ways:
 On an individual slide. The sound plays when the slide appears and stops when the

slideshow advances. See “Adding Sound to a Slide” on page 95.

 As a soundtrack for the entire slideshow. The audio starts playing when the

slideshow starts. See “Adding a Soundtrack to a Slideshow” on page 95.

 As recorded narration. You can record yourself talking about each slide. See “Adding

Narration” on page 97.

You can also add video or Flash movies that play within a slide. For Flash to work with
QuickTime 7.1.3 and later, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click QuickTime,
click Advanced, and select Enable Flash.

Keynote accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:

 MOV
 FLASH
 MP3
 MPEG-4
 AIFF
 AAC

Note: Some media files are protected under copyright law. Also, some downloaded
music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure
you have permission to use the files you want to include.

Important:

To make sure that the movies and other media can be played and viewed

when your document is transferred to another computer, make sure that “Copy audio
and movies into document” is selected; after you choose Save or Save As, click the
disclosure triangle next to the field, and then click Advanced Options.
