It’s a crude work-around, but it allowed me to access a keynote file that worked well under a prior Keynote version but stopped working when the codec made problems. key file with keynote (double-click should work) zip file into another folder, the name might change slightly. Compress the folder (right-click, compress …) Note that if you did not move the old.Open the folder and delete the video files (alternatively, move them out of that directory, you might try to convert them or embed them again later).zip file into another folder (otherwise this file might cause problems later) zip file (you might go to Finder => Preferences => Advanced => Show all filename extensions first) Rename the keynote file (.key) into a. ![]() If the keynote file crashes due to an embedded video just: As this posting nicely states, keynote files are just. If I would rely on “old” presentations, it would make my work impossible. There are inconveniences, but this is a show stopper. It is just not possible for the new Keynote version to open some presentations that worked fine under the old version. It would be inconvenient if it worked as it takes a couple of minutes, but nope, no luck, while converting Keynote crashes. Keynote apparently cannot deal with the Codec anymore, so it tries to convert the embedded videos when opening the presentation for the first time. Not being able to freely configure the presentation view on the Mac is one thing, but strangely enough, some video files stopped working. But why did Apple have to dumb down the Mac versions? Yup, I love to be able to use my iPhone or iPad as backup in case my MacBook Pro fails during a presentation. If you recently updated the app or macOS 12, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible. I loved Apple’s Keynote, until the new version tried to bring the Mac version and the iOS versions down to the smallest denominator. Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers. “Using a Mac is like trying to shave with a bowling pin whilst using a PC is like juggling with razors.”
