If you're not setting a bitrate, then it's probably why your file's so large. Harj,
What settings are you using for your H.264 encode? If you’re not setting a bitrate, then it’s probably why your file’s so large.

Might that get around what seems to be a Keynote/H.264 interaction? Peter Dominic Ryan: If you have enough disk space, why not export as uncompressed, then use QuickTime Pro to do the compression?

After a few tries I have found the solution : if you end an object (title, image...) then video AT THE SAME TIME, then you have the problem. Now I end video at least 0.1 second AFTER an object and exporting goes fine. Regards Tony Florian

I join the list of very happy production artists that have been saved "the axe" by impressing friends family and clients with a sweet H264 quicktime that is keyframe-less :) Thanks for the workaround.

Thank you so much. I was starting to get into trouble... you know big, job, deadline looming, unable to export at uncompressed because the file would be 23GB! And knowing what a beautiful codec H264 is I decided to go down that path... I have been trying to export for 6 days... and had no idea it would be the codec chosen. As I said elsewhere, QuickTime is an architecture that every application plugs in and hands work over to... You would think that if I was having problems with H264 it would show up elsewhere. So, thanks to the genius who worked this out, and thanks also to <a href="http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@707.HEgoa7ro58e.498223@.68b7e61f/1" rel="nofollow">Kyn Drake at the Apple - Discussions - Keynote</a> site for being kind enough to point me this way! A very happy lad indeed, Regards Peter ps. Sorenson 3 is a technology that is 5 years old now. In digital media terms, that is ANCIENT. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge advice fan Sorenson in their day... when developed in 1999/2000, the days of QuickTime 5.0. In its day it blew my socks off and I thought we could never do better... Well, H.264 is not one but two GENERATIONS of technology later... and an revolutionary breakthrough at that. -- If you are still using Sorenson, take my advice, and give H.264 a whirl... do some side by side export comparisons, and I promise it will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF TOO for quality, and then when you see the file size, you will laugh until you cry, as the file is only a quarter of the size you were expecting. It is THAT good. Thanks again good folks! p.p.s. As I did not navigate to this page, but rather was handed a link, where am I? How did I get here? May I suggest that you put a link to this page on your Support / Bugs section. Just a suggestion. Thanks, this site rocks! Wow. Thank you so much.

I can get similar quality to a Sorenson movie and half the file size. And that's even before trying the dual pass option. Yes, H.264 is QUITE good.

I'd bet it ends up looking better than Sorenson 3, with a smaller file. Actually, H.264 is amazing. I’d bet it ends up looking better than Sorenson 3, with a smaller file.
