Convert a Keynote presentation into a video file for use on a PSP using Toast 7

Keynote

You can use this guide for converting a Keynote 3.0 Presentation into a movie file which can then be played on a PSP. This guide should also be useful for converting Keynote 2 and Keynote 1 files.

Open your Keynote presentation.

Keynote screenshot

From the menu File > Export...

Click the Quicktime button.

Change the Playback Control: to Self-Playing Movie.

Change the slide duration from the default 5 seconds if you have a lot of text to something like 10 seconds. Another option is to use audio tracks on the slides which negates the need to have a long slide duration.

Ensure that the Formats: is set to Full Quality, Large.

Having done this you can now open Toast and click the video tab. Though this guide uses Toast 7, you can achieve the same results with Toast 8 and the process is very similar (if not the same).
