Any way to move the slide workspace?

I'd like to be able to create action moves that start from outside the top and the left edges of a slide.
As long as the slide workspace is anchored on the top and left sides, it's close to impossible to accurately start a move from the top or the left.
Is there any way to move the slide workspace into the center of its work window, like in PowerPoint?
Thanks,
Eric

I do about the same things than you do: "primarily for proposal presentations, training, and speaker support for business meetings." What makes my presentations amazing: a very helpful characteristic of Keynote is the ability to copy and paste from Photoshop or Illustrator vector logos or other pieces of artwork, as well as importing PSDs with transparency and play with them in slides. Along with the new features in Keynote 4 (Smart Builds, Actions, etc.), I can now make my presentations move a lot more and with less work. I don't say my presentations are traditional: they have to be impressive enough to catch potential clients for my job. So sometimes I have to make some sort of movies out of Keynote, that last about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Some kind of stuff that would take days with Flash, but only a few hours with Keynote, and with the possibility to change many aspects of it in a minute, as opposed to Flash, again.
I do not experiment a lot with PowerPoint, because as far as I used to know, many of the features I mentioned above aren't part of PowerPoint. PowerPoint doesn't give enough control about animation duration. The choices are like "Very long, long, medium, fast, very fast". With Keynote, YOU set the timer. You want the animation to take 0.7 sec., it will! My little movies I was writing you about are timed as sharp as that, because I put music on them as well. Everything has to go one at the right time.
You probably think I should go for a much better 2D or 3D animation software than Keynote, but what is also interesting with Keynote is ease of use. I don't have to be a professional in animation to go the distance required. For now... I'm just getting started, though.

  • Any way to move the programs?

    I recently made a new parition on my T400 and installed W7 RC.  Everything is working great, but I'm just wondering if there's anyway to 'move' the programs that came with the original T400, ie Roxio Business edition, Adobe, etc. to this new partition?  I'm currently running these programs by making a shortcut from the old partition, which is okay but still a bit uncomfortable.  Thanks!

    Check in System Preferences > Mission Control > Show Desktop: > Make sure the right column is set to "-" and not secondary mouse button.

    Thanks!

    Yes. In Timeline mode, you add it to an upper video track as a title.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

    Any way to Lock the Decoration Free Label in place so that the Clean Up Diagram process doesn't move it soemplace unreasonable? The Clean Up Diagram process moves things to very strange places and often makes the diagram more complicated than it needs to be.
    There should be a way to lock a Decoration Free Label in a location that the Clean Up Diagram will not move it somewhere else.
    Is there such a feature?
    How do you get your Decorations to stay where you put them even after Clean Up Diagram?

    Hey dbaechtel,
    There is a way to do this however you will need to put your Decoration Free Label within a structure.  Check out the following KnowledgeBase article below for more information:

  • Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

    Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
    First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
    Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
    The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

    Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
    It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

    There's no "downgrade" from OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Server to client.
    Acquire the current OS X client software, boot the DVD and use Disk Utility to erase the target disk, and reinstall the software.
    Leaving the box with the server software running, with the services stopped, adds negligible performance overhead.  If any.

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.
