One of our readers wrote to us with a great question about whether or not we’d talked about a program that could be used to record a Keynote presentation and play it back.

“The tool i saw did record the actual slides shown during the presentations, same timing…and along with the presentation, the software records all sound (my voice) during the presentation…so i could store the whole thing as a video. Quite neat.”

We agree, that tool is quite neat. It’s called Keynote.

When you’ve created a presentation you’d like to record, simply go to File>Record Slideshow

The presentation will start and a recording box will appear at the top.

Hit the red Record button and off you go. When you’re done, you can export your presentation as a Quicktime movie from the File>Export menu. Just leave it set to Playback Uses: Recorded Timing
