QT and Keynote

Trying to help a friend here: His question is below.

Steve

When I try to import Quicktime movies into Keynote, the aspect ratio changes from 16x9 to 4x3. When I change the ratio, I'm getting lots of artifacts.

Any suggestions for a smooth export/import from Quicktime to Keynote?

I tried with Keynote '09 version 5.0.3 (791) on 10.6.4 by dragging QT movies from a finder window to a Keynote slide. That copies/embeds the dragged QT movie into the Keynote presentation.

result: aspect ratio doesn't change (16:10 movies stay 16:10)

Using the "Media" palette (near upper right corner of Keynote's main window, 3rd icon from right), appears to work correctly also.

result: aspect ratio doesn't change (16:10 movies stay 16:10)

Using menu: Insert/Choose..., same results.

Hmmm...

The movies you're importing don't happen to be a video format with non-square pixels?

Take Care,

Chris

Apparently it was his QT frame size that caused the issue. Thanks
