Hello Ben, there are some patches, that are considered as "unsafe" and therefor won't produce any output in some of Apples apps (e.g. the Finder starts a composition for displaying a single frame in the Finders file info but the composition isn't able to access anything from your system) So that nobody could generate a malicious composition to spy your system. And Video is one of those patches. But I don't know how those patches are treated in Keynote, thought.
