Greg,
Keynote exports to Interactive Video in QT with some preset format
settings (Full Quality, Large, H.264, 800x600, 24 FPS)(CD-Rom,
Medium, H.264, 400x300, 12 FPS)(Web, Small, H.264, 200x150, 12 FPS)
but if you select Custom under the Formats Pop-up in the Export Drop
down for Quicktime you will have access to a settings button that
gives you ALL Compression Types including MPEG-4, Sorenson, etc. and
any frame rate you want with the possibility of including as many
keyframes as you want. You can also play with Compressor Quality and
Encoding and the Data rate for optimizing for download or streaming.
I find that the default setting work for most things I might need but
there are some anomalies during interactive playback that will
require tweaking in some settings.
I always recommend importing as close to the finished desired result
as possible. I would have the video at as close to your finished
needs and then import that and work on the interactivity with that
video so the results should be close to what you are seeing.

I have done some experimentation with Keynote, the latest version.
It does
just about everything I need, but the slide "effects" need a high
frame rate
to play nicely in QuickTime, so that would rule out anything but a
very
small web demo, unless I am missing something important. Or,
alternately,
you could just eliminate the effects altogether. I'm still baffled
by the
way it handles its QuickTime export. Would you recommend bringing
captured
video into Keynote uncompressed and using Keynote to compress it,
or the
reverse? I'm going for the highest quality, largest size that would be
practical for the web.
Thanks,

Greg,
Have you tried doing the interactivity in Keynote and exporting to
Interactive Quicktime? It does not have all of the glitz and tools
that a Flash would have but it does offer some interactivity. I have
done a couple of projects that way.

No, not according to the documentation. For any movie
interactivity you
need the freely distributable player. For static QuickTime, you
don't.
Sure, if you can influence anybody over there to fix the drop
shadow default
and allow an interactive web demonstration of a MovieWorks movie,
I'm all
for that.
Really, there is an open source opportunity for the kind of project
authoring I'm needing. But, if it takes years to complete, I'm not
waiting.
If someone put together a program of MovieWorks elegance and
simplicity and
functionality which allowed the addition of "while you watch"
narration,
(during the authoring process), totally customizable titling, (as
you
watch), with customizable drop shadows, basic "in-movie" navigation
as well
as "extra-movie" navigation and linking, all for the low, low price
of . . .
nothing . . . I think they'd have something there. What they would
gain by
releasing it freely, I have no idea. But, even if they released it
for the
low, low price of . . . $129 . . . or thereabouts . . . they'd
still have
something there.
