Hallo everyone,

i wonder if someone knows a solution to my problem. I have a Keynote presentation with a lot of animations. I converted/exported this keynote presentation to a interactive .mov (Quicktime) movie. It means that you can use Quicktime to play this converted presentation movie and advance in the slides by pressing any key or clicking the mouse. That is the interactive part.

The problem is that i want to use my presentation inside my IPad application, which can not handle interactive Quicktime movies. This means that i cannot press keys to advance on the slides.

My idea was to split and convert the whole .mov into .mp4 movies, with one .mp4 movie per slide, so my application can handle the presentation and i can advance in the slides via my application (press click swipe etc.).

The conversion into .mp4 is quiet easy with ffmpeg, but extracting the timeline out of the Quicktime movie header is tricky. I need the timeline of the slices so i know where to cut the movie. Of course this can be done manually, but the presentation or presentations are huge, so having an automated solution is what i need.

My question here is:

  1. Is it possible to extract the time line on the slices out of the .mov file? I so how can this be done? I've been searching for quiet a while.
  2. Can keynote itself or keynote in conjunction with Apple Automator somehow convert each slice into a single .mp4 movie? This means automate the process which you can perform manually. I've also googled this without any working results.

I tried this timecodereader, but it wasn able to retrieve anything (format unknown).

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
