Keynote will not export recorded slide show to movie.

Question

Keynote will not export recorded slide show to movie.

I have exported numerous recorded slideshows in Keynote to Quicktime, but one particular file will not do so.

Using MBP, 12.0.1 (21A559), Keynote version 11.2 (7032.0.145)
It contains pictures and video and has no issues loading or playing.
This was a previous file, which I have changed to a new theme and since recorded audio for. I have also separated it into two new files.
I have created a new file and copied the slides in this one and completed a test recording. This WILL export to Quicktime.

Is there a particular setting that needs to be changed?

Is the Audio corrupt?

Is there a way to export the audio only and then attach?

I just spent a few hours creating this presentation for a school course and would like to have to do it again! :-)

Thanks for you help.

ya, that's what I ended up doing.

I do wish that Keynote would have better access to the audio files to see what happened, but I realize that is not how it is designed. Fluke occurrence.

Thanks for you help.

Update: I exported the file to Keynote 09. When I opened it in the newest version, it did export to QuickTime, but only exported half of the presentation. If I go into 'record slideshow' on the original file I can hear the second half of the presentation but apparently will not export off it.

As you have found the tried and tested workaround, you are good to go.

What's the issue with audio, you have not given any details about this?

Thanks Gary for the reply.

Obviously I'm not being clear and this is a bit weird.

I exported the file to Keynote 09 which will play the audio of the first half the presentation. After fiddling with it it seems that there is one imbedded video that was in a slide that has caused some sort of glitch in the audio file, so it won't record anything after that. I have also copy of the presentation and I've tried to record over the last portion, but it doesn't save it.

I think my only option here is to export the files into a separate presentation record the second half in a new document. Unless you have other suggestions?

Thank for your help.

That is what I would do.
