Embed YouTube Video into Keynote

[cbarmstrong1]

I've noticed that is the case for a number of videos, but not all. There are a number of free websites now that will convert youtube videos to various formats (mp3, mov, etc...). One that comes to mind is tubget.com, at some point I'll update the video, for now I'll just note it in the description.

[ScrapHappyLain]

Yeah, doubleclicking in activity window doesn't work anymore. :(

[bebedotno]

ouch - powerpoint is actually better here *darn*

-as long as you are online while presenting that is...

[cbarmstrong1]

@bebedotno - I've found powerpoint has it's issues here as well, but its not quite as drastic. I haven't experimented with the latest version of keynote so it might be more seamless now.

[alexkenneke]

The sound won't work on the video after it is in keynote...



[kornykorhorn]

Can't double click to download anymore.

[superk734]

thank you for this wonderful post and sharing your expertise

[headtrauma101]

Here's something even easier: once you download the video, put it through Handbrake. Then you can drag it to iTunes, and it will save there, and you can just add it from there.

[cbarmstrong1]

@headtrauma101 good idea!

[kryptonchiro]

@headtrauma101 what is Handbrake?

[kornykorhorn]

@headtrauma101 How do you get it to Handbrake? The double-click on activity doesn't work for me any longer.

go to my channel and look at my video, it explains how to do everything and it even allows you to DOWNLOAD (keep the video as a personal file) and use it for whatever you wish without any issues at all

[adrianoaguilar]

thanks for the vid. Since i dont wanna pay for converting videos i downloaded Real player converter, and converter to an ipad format, then i added it to itunes and from keynote click on media, itunes library (video) and boom...

hope this helps

[hoskeebo]

This method has been working fine for me for a long time.

One thing you might want to keep in mind is that the video has to be clicked and playing for you to find it in the activity file.

If you don't find it in the activity file, go back to the youtube video, press the play button, then look for it again in the activity file.

[aneesoft01]

wow, i will check and try this, i used to use the third party software which named anesoft to converter the videos to itunes, as keynote accept all itunes format, and that works too. :)

[JRR951]

You should probably remove this video since it no longer works...

[pdpatel92]

Thanks a lot!! This added a lot to my Keynote Presentation. =]

[alla1alla]

thanks man..very helpful

[karatuatara]

what if i don't have quicktime pro- how do i get it into keynote then? thanks

[Forevaitalia]

@karatuatara same problem too if someone replies can you tell me? I have an English project due and I really need this! Thanks

[MissChanandlerBong12]

@Forevaitalia I don't know if you still need help with this but just in case this is what I did: I got up to the point where you have to save as a Quicktime file and was unable to b/c I didn't have Pro. Frustrated, I began looking for alternatives and found Tooble just Google it and you will fine the download. It's free and incredibly easy just download the program, copy the URL and it downloads the video to iTunes where you can easily import to Keynote. If you have any problems let me know.

[ZernanToledo]

@MissChanandlerBong12 Just downloaded this, so easy to use! Cheers for the tip.

[Jrod311]

worked like a charm! Thanks.

[maggieheartsmakeup]

it wont go to my downloads...

[PCnever]

I went to activity and double clicked the 1mb and nothing happened, i even tried with all that was in activity and nothing?

[cbarmstrong1]

Strange. After you double click the file in "Activity" try clicking on Window --> Downloads to see if the Downloads window was maybe hidden behind another window.

[PCnever]

no i made sure the download page is clearly visible, nothing happens. when i double click on it it just opens up a blank webpage.

[cbarmstrong1]

Are you using Safari as your web browser?

[Forevaitalia]

@cbarmstrong1 yes

[childofdaisies]

@cbarmstrong1 this happened for me too

[kornykorhorn]

@PCnever This same problem just started happening to me also, in Safari with my Mac.

[xXFindingEmoXx]

@PCnever I'm having the same problem. And it doesn't even show up in the downloads window.

[bluebell58306]

@xXFindingEmoXx me 2

[queensamantha]

Thanks!! This helped a lot.

[caseoddity]

Hi again, OK, I got the Perian plugin and everything kicked out great!  Thanks so much for helping me pimp my presentation!

[caseoddity]

I was not able to download from Perian. Is there something wrong with their website? Also- I was not able to double-click and save from "activity" in Safari but was able to find a plug in to allow me to download form Firefox. So I now have the .flv file, but no coverter into Quicktime. Advice?

[mickipedia]

THANK YOU! this worked magically.

[leahlou92]

why when I import the video file from quicktime onto keynote the video is black but there is audio?

[cbarmstrong1]

I have recently been experiencing this problem as well. I've also noticed that the video file that downloads is just "video" not "get_video" like it used to be. After doing a bit of digging it looks like YouTube may have changed the format to increase security of people downloading the full video. The older videos still seem to work. I am hoping a new version of Perian will fix this problem. Cheers.

[leahlou92]

well it worked in powerpoint so i just used the same information there. Thanks tho!

[charitollanos]

@leahlou92 i have the same problem

[cbarmstrong1]

As long as they have quicktime installed on the computers at your school it should work. They don't need to have Perian on the computers in the room. You only need perian to do the conversion to get it into keynote. Hope this helps.

[JesseScotts]

will this work on the computer at school..they are all using Microsoft Word 2007. i used to use my dad's PC to embedd a youtube video on my powerpoint....it's easy and it works at school too (Powepoint for Mac)....

What if PIERAN is not installed in the room i will do my presentation on? will the video still work?

[juxtaposeur9]

Most of probably aren't going to pay thirty dollars for Quicktime Pro. Instead, just download HandBrake for free and convert the video there.

[turnmeon05]

thanks

[gator22uf]
