Linking automatically between Keynote presentations

I understand how to create and click a hyperlink to launch another Keynote presentation, but how do I get the link to trigger automatically at the end of one presentation so that it goes seamlessly into the next presentation. I have several presentations I want to daisy-chain because putting them all into one document would be too large. Thanks.

Seems there is no easy solution. The resolution of the video output isn't high enough, which means I'll need to start with a larger output resolution. That would bring the video up to probably half a GB in size... way too large to share via the Internet. And though Automator will daisy chain .mov files (though there is a rough transition between them) to play in sequence, it won't daisy chain Keynote files. And the rough transition between .mov files makes me believe that even it this did work for Keynote through a script activating hyperlinks, it would not be a seamless transition.
So we'll just mark this one as a good feature to include in Keynote 10 and I'll just have to deal with editing all the slides in one big file. Thanks for your suggestions, gbdoc

  • How to external link to many keynotes presentation on ipad.

    Hi, I have 100 keynotes presentation on iPad.
    When I meet my customers and teach them, I would like to show them an overview (like a mindmap) then I would click on a link that open keynote and selected a presentation. After showing them the content I would like go back to the overview an so on.
    Is there  a method or an app that can do this?
    tks

    This cant be done in Keynote,  linking to other Keynote presentations and to other aplications are deliberatly disabled. Read up on Apples iBook Athor to see if it can do this, its free.

  • Hyperlink to external slide in a Keynote presentation

    Am I right in thinking Apple has removed the ability to make hyperlinks to slides in other Keynote presentaions in Keynote 6.0?
    Many of my presentations are linked together using this method, and I cannot use the hyperlinks I made, after upgrading to Keynote 6.0.
    Also, is there a way of using the the 'Link to Web Page' hyperlink setup to link to a file, i.e. file://name_of_file.key:slide_number...  or something similar?
    AtomicWasp.

    Sadly, you are correct.  Apple, for some strange reason, has taken out hyperlinks between Keynote presentations in 6.0.  Until they change that (which they are idiots if they don't) I won't be using 6.0 because I must hyperlink many of my presentations (mainly because the way Keynote handles music is trash).

  • How to create a link in a keynote document towards an iCloud keynote document

    Hello everyone,
    I want to create a keynote presentation (located in iCloud) and make a link to another Keynote presentation, also located in iCloud.
    Apparently, this is not possible, since when I create a link, the only possibility is to link to another file located on my physical drive.
    If anyone has any ideas how to bypass this...
    Thanks in advance.

    Note that there's currently a bug in the way annotations work on an OCG. The link will disappear but the bounding box of the link will remain an active hotspot. In your case however the bug may be useful, as if two link objects partly overlap on the page and one isn't on an OCG, turning off the OCG does indeed disable the hotspot.
    Follow this process to see what it can (and cannot) do:
    From the Tools > Print Production Panel, open Preflight
    Select 'single fixups' - the third icon
    Click the "Layers" section just so things will go in a logical place
    Click "options" then "Create new Preflight Fixup"
    Name it "Put all links on the Links layer"
    Click the "Layers category" and scroll in the right-side list to choose "Put objects on layer"
    In the "Objects identified by a check" menu, choose "Annotation is of type Link"
    In the Layer name field, enter "Links"
    Click OK to save your new check.
    Assuming you have a document open, select your new Fixup and press the Fix button.
    You'll be asked to save the file with a new name, then you'll get a message about the layers being modified and instructing you to close and re-open the file (that's a limitation in Preflight, until you do the new layer won't show up).
    To understand how the overlapping OCG-nonOCG bug works, now you have a link on the Links layer, create another one using the normal tool (which will not be on the layer). Half-overlap them and see what happens when you turn the layer off and on.
    The simplest way to test is to create a blank document and add a "go to a web page" link with a visible rectangle - then when you migrate it onto a layer, you can probe for the hotspot by hovering your mouse and looking for the URI tooltip.

  • Photos dropped from keynote presentation

    I am experiencing a repeated yet inconsistent problem with images losing their links in my keynote presentations.
    Example:
    I have a presentation in Keynote that was created from a new document, using a custom theme that I created several months ago.
    The file has several images in it, mostly .jpg and some .pdf
    After opening and editing it over several days, and versioning up on revisions, I saved it from our server to my local drive (MacBook Pro).
    When I opened the file while traveling I found that over half of the images were no longer in place. They had been replaced by grey boxes with question marks, each indicating a missing file.
    What causes images in a keynote file to lose their link? I've not found any suitable answer in the Help section or from browsing previously Q&A threads.
    It acts like an InDesign file, only the option to relink images or package the file before saving it to a new location doesn't seem to be present.
    Please help!
    thank you.

    Can you see the old photos in the backups?  (If you're not sure how, see the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.)  If so, try restoring a few that way;   if that works, try restoring whole groups.
    If that doesn't help, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If still no help, there are a couple of long shots in #E9 of that same link.

  • How can I get back to my Keynote presentation once I've linked to a website?

    I've created a Keynote presentation. On one slide, I have a link to a relevant Vimeo video on the web. It gets there seamlesly. However, when the 4 minute video is done playing, I can't return to my presentation. If I "x" out of Safari, my Keynote is gone.  I've tried hitting esc but that doesn't work either.
    Thanks for your help.

    Use application switcher to display Keynote ; (command  tab) press the command key then tap the tab key then release.

  • On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

    On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

    Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
    If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to:  "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

  • Keynote presentation does not automatically play upon open when called from another keynote presentation

    I have a master keynote presentation that hyperlinks to other keynote presentations.  The called keynote presentations open, but do not automatically play even though I have marked them to automatically play upon open.  What am I doing incorrectly?

    Automatically Play on open, has the same function as pressing the play button in the tool bar.
    Once the presentation is playing,  it will move to the next slide  depending on
    how you have set the options in:
    Inspector > Document > Presentation
    the choices to advance to the next slide are:
    normal           - requires a keyboard press or a muse click to advance
    Hyperlink       - requires the mouse to click on an object with a hyperlink
    Recorded      - plays back using the recorded narration sound track
    Self-playing   - will advance according to the options in the delay times set in
    Inspector > Document > Presentation

    I thought it was because of Lion but with snow leopard i have the same problem (On another Mac).
    Other solutions????

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • Can you automate an iPad keynote presentation like a slide show?

    I have a very basic keynote presentation that I've created on my iPad 2.  No fancy transitions, etc.  Essentially slides with pictures and information.  I need to have it run like a slide show and repeat itself over and over for a static display.  Can someone help me accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you will do it by setting the transition options for the slides.

  • HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

    I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides.  When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move).  Any suggestions?

    Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I  found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
    Supose an object on  slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows.  Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4  to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
    For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.
