Working With Text, Graphics, and Other Media

Including Sound and Other Media

You can add sound files to your project so that, for example, recorded music plays

throughout your slideshow or a narration accompanies each slide. You can also add

video or Flash movies that play within a slide.

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.

Keynote accepts any QuickTime file type, including the following:

 MOV

 FLASH

 MP3

 MP4

 AIFF

 AAC

 MPEG-4

Important:

When you add a media file to a slideshow, the file automatically becomes

part of the Keynote document. Media files make your document much larger. You can

save the document without media files by following these steps.

To save a document without media files:

1

Choose File > Save As, and then click Advanced Options.

2

Deselect “Copy audio and movies into document.”

3

Type a name and choose a location for the document, then click Save.

Using the Media Browser

The Media Browser lists all the media files in your iPhoto and iTunes libraries and in

your Movies folder. You can drag images, music, and movies directly from the Media

Browser to a slide or to an image well in one of the inspectors.
