Keynote can export in two different Web-friendly formats: PDF and
QuckTime. You’ll have to test and see which one offers you the best
download size / performance / eye candy trade-off.

Still on the Local Government website in Freeway. Got to say again,
FW 5 is inspired. And the help from this forum is very gratefully
received.
Speaking of which, I have a Keynote presentation of old photographs
to put into Freeway. The animation is page flip.
I read all the previous posts under Keynote, but none appears to
give a direct path for integrating KN to FW.
QuickTime can be converted into a number of different movie formats,
some of which are compatible with MediaPlayer. For example, if you
have the DivX codecs installed on your Mac, you could export in that
format, but you’d be limiting your options, because not all Macs can
play that without an extra download. I’m not sure if WMP can handle
MPEG4, which is a very widely-supported format for movies, and
natively handled by QuickTime (so any Mac would have no trouble).
For really wide user support (but excluding MobileSafari and all its
kin) you can always use Flash (FLV + a SWF “skin” to play it). Freeway
makes that easy in the latest revision with a Flash Video Action to
scoop everything up and make it work.
But ask yourself this: if you make your presentation a PDF (which
enjoys even more wide support than Flash – nearly as wide as HTML),
the only thing you will be missing out on is the groovy inter-slide
effects. Unless I’m really mistaken, that’s not going to diminish your
message at all, is it?

Hello Walter, and thanks for the reply.
One further question on this, if I export as a Quicktime, will it
default to Media Player if the visitor doesn’t have quicktime?
