[applekeynote] Re: Exported Movie Soundtrack

Good News, Bad news,

I solved part of my own problem.
When I say my problem, I was a victim of my own bad practices. I had saved the project
with a name which had spaces in it. This worked fine on my hard drive, Not so much on
the Web.

But the new problem is unlikely a KN problem, either. Now when I play the movie in a
browser the background loop music plays for a bit, then drops out for a while and comes
back, here and there. I'm thinking that the cause is connection speed, or file caching or
some such issue. I will try compressing my background loop .mov and see if it helps.

Thanks for being there. Perhaps I have helped someone else avoid my mistake.

Carl
