Hello Michael, some ideas:
- it seems a rather old Air, so maybe it has an intel graphics chip with bugs. What graphic hardware is it? - Maybe you can make it work with an externe composition and Syphon server/client-plugin's ( http://syphon.v002.info )? Create a QC that renders your complete side-by-side view in on texture (with "Render in Image" patch) and send this image into a Syphon Server. Run this composition in QuartzComposer in the background. Create a second composition that has the Syphon Client in it to receive that image and billboard it. Use this composition in Keynote. Syphon just pushes a texture from one OpenGL context to another and therefore you don't have to use the video plugins in Keynote. best, Achim Breidenbach Boinx Software Ltd.
