All done in Keynote - sometimes not in a version available to the rest of
us. :)

If a Keynote slide has a movie, then when you go to that slide, the movie
plays. But it is still a slide, so transitions also work. Indeed, this
feature means that Keynote is a very good way to *make* movies; I have
created several tutorial movies in this way. m.

The Leopard-version of iChat will have a similar presentation feature
that lets you combine the live video stream from your iSight camera
with photos, videos, and Keynote presentation slides. See section
"Show off (without showing up)." on the iChat info page:

Here's a larger image of what it looks like on-screen:

And in the other direction, exporting as Quicktime from Keynote is a great
way to play back presentations on machines that don't have Keynote installed
(especially Windows machines). I've used that feature several times now.

And in a similar way, exporting a presentation (with animations, transitions and all) to Flash is a poor man's way to create Flash content... But it doesn't seem to be possible to create smaller than 200x200 px slides so smaller flash ads are difficult to do. And unfortunately embedded movies don't seem to export into Flash.

Just a short comment on creating 'movies' in Keynote. I'm an art director and part time college instructor and use Snapz Pro to create tutorials for some of my classes. (Snapz Pro records animated screen actions.) Trying to put together a string of short 60 second Snapz Pro Quick Time movies was a real challenge. I first tried using iMovie (version 6) to do this. It didn't render the Snapz Pro movies at all. Fuzzy and out of focus. So I purchased Final Cut Express. And to my utter discouragement, it too didn't handle the Quick Time movies that Snapz Pro generates. Although I did find out later on that Final Cut Pro does render these movies, the price for the software was just too expensive. Almost giving up, I tried Keynote as a kind of afterthought. And you know what happened. Perfection! The Snapz Pro movies look great together and I can create all the transitions and type effects I want. And output them as Quick Time movies or a Keynote presentation. I've used Keynote in the past for slide shows. Now I have another, much better use for the program. I've even created a portfolio of my art director's work combining still shots of my print samples with animated movies of my motion and TV stuff. Keynote is fast becoming my favorite program!

QuickTime Pro ($30) will let you assemble movie clips, and probably
the free MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/) -- via cutting
and pasting (I haven't tried it personally).

Ok, so now I actually HAVE Leopard to try out, and...

Though this is definitely shown in the Leopard preview (http://images.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat.html) under "Showing off without showing up", I can't figure out how to do it.

I can share files, keynotes, iPhoto, etc. But, I can't find how to show the video feed side-by-side.

Any ideas?

Did anyone figure out how to stream live video into an Apple Keynote presentation? I read about a Quartz Composer patch, but I'd much rather locate a native Keynote solution. thanks!

Can you insert a .qtl file into a Keynote slide? QTL files are XML
(text) files containing URLs for QuickTime movies and parameters for
playback. The URL would be for the live stream, created by QuickTime
Broadcaster or the like.

If you're talking about playing the video from an attached webcam or
FireWire attached camera, the above wouldn't work unless you can
associate a live camera source with a .mov file.
