Aspect Ratio in Keynote

I am wondering whether it is possible to make the aspect 16:9 instead of the current 4:3?
We are about to change our project from the 4:3 to the 16:9 and i know it can be done in iWork, how or when will this be single on iPad?
Thanks!

You will probably have better luck getting an answer in the iWork for iOS community.

  • Change 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio in keynote

    change 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio in keynote

    Is this possible in QTPro?
    Yes.
    Do I need to look for another app to perform what seems like a very simple operation.
    No. Simplest option would be to layer a black (or other color) background frame of the appropriate size behind the video and scale its duration to match the duration of your movie (i.e., a simple "Add to Selection & Scale procedure), set layers to ensure the movie is above the background, center or offset the video layer where you want it in the player, and save the result using the "Save As..." option to place everything in a new MOV file container. No re-compresion is applied, so the whole operation is very quick taking only enough time as is required to copy all of the data to the new file.

  • Is there any way for Keynote to create slides in a 16:9 (HD) aspect ratio?

    I have a mixed media presentation going through an LCD projector. the video content is 16:9. Can Keynote create a 16:9 aspect ratio presentation or am I out of luck (until that feature is added)?

    Hi Tulse,
    I have just switched to Mac and I'm going through the learning curve. I am trying to make a poster in Keynote and need help properly sizing it. I went to the document inspector and tried to set a custom file size. The problem is that when I calculated the number of pixels at 300 dpi for a 36x24 or 48x36 inch poster, Keynote would not accept that high of a number. I know there is probably a simple solution, because I know that Keynote is able to do something as simple as this!
    Please help!

  • Keynote to quicktime movie has wrong aspect ratio

    I have created some Keynote Quicktime movies.  When I import them into iMovie, they become too tall and wide to see the pictures.  How can I change the aspect ratio (I want to use 16:9) and/or the height and width of the slides to be seen properly?

    Hi David, I know this was discussed in you posting already but I just wanted to make sure I had it clear. I have a 4:3 film and I've exported as a quicktime movie with current settings, which should be 4:3 and found that the image when played back in quicktime, looks horizontally stretched. Almost as if quicktime is trying to play it back as a 16:9 image. I think this is the same issue the other fellow was having but I just wanted to be clear. You're saying that the 4:3 image distortion is perfectly normal when played back in quicktime on a computer screen and that the export will look fine when put to DVD or sent to a monitor? I just wanted to make sure because this problem is freaking me out and I don't want to deliver a distorted image to my client. Could you also explain briefly why this happens with quicktime export and not quicktime conversion and what causes quicktime to distort the 4:3 image? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    james.

  • Changing seq. aspect ratio: crashes FCP

    Hi all,
    Despite my best intentions, my project contains sequences with different settings, which is causing problems on export. A quick overview of sequence contents and field dominance settings:
    - SEQUENCE FIELD DOMINANCE: NONE
    - PSD frame-graphic overlay (FD: None)
    - QT titles from Keynote w/ transparency (FD: None)
    - regular footage (FD: lower)
    These field dom settings are the only ones that allow the titles to render crisply.
    Rendering out using Compressor, DVD-90 settings. Some sequences render perfectly, but in others, the titles are jagged & blurry when rendered out. The only difference I can find, is in the sequence aspect ratios.
    The sequences that render properly, are set at 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2).
    The ones that render jagged/blurry titles, are 720x486 CCIR 601 NTSC (40:27). (These display crisply in FCP Canvas, but render improperly.)
    When I change a sequence's aspect ratio to NTSC DV 3:2, I get "Operation Not Allowed," then "Out of memory," then the canvas turns red with the words "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore." Sometimes, I get the beachball and then FCP crashes.
    Closing and reopening doesn't help; I still have the red window. Only changing back to CCIR 601 brings the sequence back online.
    I have tried creating a new sequence and copy/pasting, but I get "Out of memory" etc.
    Can anyone advise??
    Thanks very much,
    Brett

    By default Compressor assumes you're providing a 720x480 media file for compression to DVD. This is because DVD players can display only a 720x480 image.
    If you send a 720x486 media file through the default Compressor settings, it will squeeze the image vertically to fit 720x480. It typically does not do this well.
    If you suspect this is the problem, duplicate the DVD-90 setting, use the Inspector window and click on the Geometry button, select a Custom crop and crop 2 lines from the top and 4 lines from the bottom (always crop in even numbers for DVD playback). Rename and save the setting.

  • Slide Size = ? Aspect Ratio

    Does anyone have any idea as to what aspect ratio a 1024 X 768 slide in Keynote is? I have a projector that the aspect ratio can be changed. My issue is that I don't know what size screen I need for the projector? They are available in 16:9, 1:1, and 4:1 aspect ratios. My presentation has been created in a 1024 X 768 slide size. I realize I can change that but would rather not as the 1024 X 768 slide size seems to be the best to have the type clean and visible.
    Thanks in advance if you know.

    You also need to know the lens zoom factor and the position of your projector. This will determine the size of the screen. The aspect ratio of the screen should be the same as the aspect ratio of the projector: Projecto 16:9 - Screen 16:9.
    In terms of font size that is easy to read, that largely depends on the distance between the viewer and the screen. Rule of thumb is that the closest person shuold be 0.7 x the height of the screen (9' high screen = 6.3' to the front row of seating) and the furthest should be no more than 7 x the height of the screen (9' high screen = 63' to the last row of seating). This also depends on the content shown. So for slides with fine details (lot of small text, busy slides) maximum distance should be no more then 4 x height of the screen. 6 x for spreadhseet and up to 8 times for video and images.
    Hope this helps.

  • Aspect Ratio UNlock?

    I'm using Keynote '09 and I can't figure out how to unlock the aspect ratio on images I paste onto a slide. I know that pressing "shift" locks the aspect ratio but how do I unlock it? I have a presentation due next week and being able to figure this out will really enhance my slides. Thank you for your help, it's much appreciated.

    There are two approaches available:
    resize:     click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Metrics inspector button, deselect “Constrain proportions” then drag the corner handles to resize
    mask:     select the image and then click the Mask button in the toolbar (Format > Mask) then reposition and resize the mask and image

  • Can enhanced podcasts have 4:3 aspect ratio?

    Wouldn't it be nice to use all the real estate of an iPod screen and have chapter marker images 400x300, the dimensions of a Keynote slide? One is currently stuch having a blank band at the bottom and top of such a slide. True, you can double click on your picture within Garage band to crop it, but it gets cropped as a aquare, not 4:3. I can't find how Garageband allows that currently, yet video podcasts have that 4:3 aspect ratio. If you know how to do it, please post here. If not, please let Apple know we would like this as a feature. To submit such a request, launch Garageband and then under the Garageband menu at the top pull down and select "Garageband feedback". That's how you let them know to add this aspect ratio feature. Thanks!

    Welcome. Will just add again, it is more up to the TV being able to deal with it. But as mentioned, if the TV has the component (or is it composite, I always forget ... why oh why did they name them so close) jacks, I would say there is a very high chance it will work just fine. Believe the setting in the AppleTV at setup would be 480i (or 480p)...one of those. If you pick the wrong one, it will figure it out and restart to let you choose the other.
    The movies I play all play fine. I will admit I get many from BitTorrent and convert them to MP4 and haven't had any issues. And those I rent/buy from iTunes all play well.
    The only place that is really a pain is the browsing of movies in the iTunes store from the AppleTV when viewing on a 4:3 TV. It all gets scrunched so reading the words below the images of the movie is a bit difficult, but not impossible. That is really the only place I wish worked better, but do understand they never meant for it to play on a 4:3 set (even if that set allows it).

  • 16:9 Aspect Ratio Questions

    I am designing a Keynote presentation for use on a Akai plasma TV with a native resolution of 1024x1024 (16:9 aspect ratio). I set my presentation to 1024x576 in Keynote; I am assuming the TV will display my presentation correctly, and the 576 pixels designated in Keynote will simply be spread out over the 1024 horizontal pixels on the TV, correct?
    Secondly, when I do change the Slide Size in Keynote, the main editing area correctly reshapes to 16:9, but the slide masters and slide previews on the left seem to resize, but remain trapped in a 4:3 box with two black lines above and below. This seems to be hard-coded into the Keynote application, or I can't figure out how to adjust this. Should I worry about this little detail?

    I started by creating a presentation based on the "White" theme. I did not see a "Black" theme, however.
    The black bars ONLY appear on the left Navigator section... the main slideshow work area and the end presentation on the TV show up correctly, with no black bars to be seen. So really, I am happy with the end results; I am simply worried about the way Keynote is displaying the slide thumbnails in the Navigator and if that means something important (it could be that the Keynote developers simply made the thumbnail 4:3 and any other aspect ratio gets scaled down).

  • What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a "widescreen anamorphic" 16:9 SD DVD (original aspect ratio is 14:9)?

    I just received the masters for a new SD DVD. I would like to author a "widescreen anamorphic" SD DVD horizontally squeezed widescreen image stored in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio DVD image frame. (On 4:3 displays, mattes should preserve the original aspect ratio. On 16:9 displays the image will fill the screen at the highest possible resolution.)
    Below I've listed the specs of the Digi Beta master tapes the producers have sent to me for digitizing. I'd like to know this: What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a widescreen anamorphic SD DVD, using material with an original aspect ratio of 14:9?
    I've also listed my guesses below. Please let me know if my guesses are right. If not, please suggest alternatives (and if possible explain why.)
    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF EXISTING MASTER:
    Tape: DigiBeta
    Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
    Frame Size: 720 x 480
    Anamorphic: Full-Height Anamorphic (16:9 image displayed in letterboxed, non-distored 4:3)
    Display Format: 4:3 Letterbox
    MY GUESS AT IDEAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (for a DigiBeta, that is):
    Tape: DigiBeta
    Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    Frame Size: 720 x 540
    Anamorphic: YES
    Display Format: 16:9 Anamorphic (horizontally squeezed widescreen image)
    Please feel free to ask for clarification or further information you need to answer my question.
    Thank you so much in advance for your help!
    Best, Noetical.
    BTW, I can't wait for the day when everything has gone digital and we get digital intermediates instead of tapes to digitize!

    Hi Nick...thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

    What you have there is a mess.
    NTSC pixels are never square.
    NTSC is 720x486, even when it is Anamorphic.
    You shouldn't be using an already letterboxed master to make an Anamorphic version. Get the master that was made before the letterboxing stage.
    When you make an Anamorphic DVD it should display as 16:9 full screen automatically on widescreen TVs.
    The same DVD will automatically letterbox on 4:3 TVs.
    Um yeah...duh. That's exactly what I was trying to explain in the preface of my question. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear...all these things you mention are the reasons I'm putting together a list of the technical specs of the DigiBeta I need so I can have them send that instead of the stupid letterboxed version. 
    Look, I'm sending this request to some intern at their offices in England, asking for a master with which I can make an Anamorphic DVD. They already sent me this master, which as you and I both agree is an idiotic asset to use for these purposes. As such, I was hoping for advice on a more precise way of requesting the master that I need than asking for "the master that was made before the letterboxing stage." Upon reflection, perhaps I'll just do that. If you or anyone else has a suggestion about something I should add to my request that would improve the odds of them sending the tape I need, please repond. Thank you!
    BTW, It's been a long time since anyone has responded to something I've written or said as though I'm an idiot. I remember now that I don't really like it. (Moving along...)

  • XML file from '08 has a different aspect ratio in FCP 6?

    I have the new canon vixia hg 21 which is avchd and FCP 6 isn't recognizing it. Using Imovie to recognize the files works fine, the problem is that when you export from imovie '08 into FCP via xml, it imports fine, but I get a display issue with black bars surrounding the footage, only in the canvas. It appears fine in the viewer and in it's own sequence in the timeline. But when you mix the different camera footage together, the other being the Canon XH A1, it appears as a different aspect ratio??? What the? and for the life of me, I've re imported using 16:9, no difference...I have no idea what's going on.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You should really take this to the Final Cut Pro forum as the codecs and the interface is different for Final Cut Express.

  • How to fix an error in sequnece setting (aspect ratio)?

    Hi,
    I have been working for a while on a project in CS4. I have created a sequence in it with an aspect ratio (AR) of 4:3 - worked for hours on it - but I should had the sequence created instead in 16:9. I realised it a bit too late...
    So how do I fix it?
    Apparently amending the sequence setting for AR cannot be done - please let me know if there is any way of doing this.
    Someone suggested editing the PRPROJ file of the project - but when I opened it I was unable to detect under the sequence name (I found a few entries with it) where I can easily change the sequence to 16:9.
    So then I found people suggesting I copy/paste all the assets from the sequence into a new one that is correctly configured with 16:9. When I did this - CTRL+A and Copy, then paste into a new sequence in the same project - it copied all the clips and I think also all the transitions. But the key element that it did not copy over were all the changes I have done to the sound - I have been editing via the sound mixer (in Write mode) the sound, and then also made changes to the master track volume levels. These were not copied over.
    I really don't want to have to do the mixing all over again. If someone can explain how I can fix the problem in any way I would be most thankful.
    While I am here asking - another 2 small questions that have been bugging me:
    How I can copy and paste volume keyframes from either the master track or a clip and apply it on another clip/section of the clip that would be very helpful. This would for example be useful if I am able to find a certain volume level that I would like to apply to the desired section without the need to sit and "record" (using the Write function) those settings on the desired area. If there is any means to apply the properties on audio track this way - that would be really useful and time saving.
    A best practice hint: when you try and create a sound level for a project - what PC volume level setting do you set in your PC that you use as a benchmark by which we then work out the sound level that would be created in the project? Obviously if I push my PC volume al the way up I would probably mix my sound in the project too low. And if I set the PC volume too low - than I would probably be setting the overall sound level too high and get distortion. As the movies I created would be burnt onto a DVD - what is the volume level on the PC (if there is any means of establishing a standard volume) that I need to match first before I go and figure out what level of sound the finished DVD would have? Of course I can work on say a 50% and then apply gains and volume increases based on that 50% of the max sound my PC plays out. But that sounds pretty much like a random setting and not optimised for other devices.
    My system:
    Windows 7, 32-bit
    CS4, v. 4.2.1
    This looks like a fairly basic question but I am unable to find a good answer to it...
    Many thanks to the person who shows me how this can be done without me going crazy over the need to start all over again...

    Hi Ann,
    Your tip saved me a lot of time indeed....!
    So I created a new sequence, made sure it was 16:9, copy pasted all of the assets, but then had to do the following:
    1. Copy/Paste Attributes for all the video clips (these do not transfer);
    2. As you suggested used the whole of the old sequence as a nested sequence in the new one, eliminating the video altogether.
    I still had a nagging issue that the project would not render or export well - but that turned out to be an issue with rendeiring large files (the video was an uncut clip of almost 10GB, andother of 6GB). Splicing these into 10 minute segments and rendering them separately did the trick.
    It's ben amlong Xmas weekend and endless hours spendt on this project. Yaikes!
    Thanks for the workaround idea!

  • Can you help me solve my aspect ratio issue?

    Hey guys,
    I'm posting this in hopes that someone can help me solve an aspect ratio issue with a project that I have to finish by tomorrow.
    I'm trying to avoid having to re-edit the entire thing.
    I shot the project with my Nikon D7000 DSLR. in 720p 30p (29.97)
    I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (the trial version).  I have the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
    The reason I was working with the trial is that CS3 can't handle the H.264 MOVs that the D7000 records.
    You can work with a timeline, but if you try to export anything, it never works.  I always have to convert my footage to ProRes MOVs with MPEG Streamclip before I can work with them is CS3.  That takes a lot of time and a lot of hard drive space.  After much research, I found out that CS5 is the way to go for DSLR footage.  I just need to save up my pennies for the upgrade.
    So I thought I'd edit this short (1 minute) project with the trial to see how CS5 works with the D7000 footage.
    Upon installing the trial program, I found that the project presets were limited.  I knew this ahead of time because it's clearly stated on the Adobe's website.
    But I wasn't aware how limited they are.
    Since "DSLR 1280x720p 30p" is not an option with the trial, I was going to use HDV 720p 30p.  But that was not an option either!
    So basically, my only option for 16x9 30p was "DV NTSC Widescreen".  It's my understanding that this is 864x480 (in square pixel aspect ratio) or 720x480  (in widescreen pixel aspect ratio)   I needed the output file to be 864x486.  I downsized the footage to 69% in the "Video Effects: Motion" setting so it looked correct in the project.  I didn't think about those extra 6 pixels until I outputed the file and saw thin black lines on the top and bottom.  My guess is that Premiere is adding black pixels because my project is technically 720x480 (1.2121)
    Any thoughts on how I can get a clean 864x486 export?  I'd rather not re-edit the whole thing...which I would have to do in CS3 after I spent a few hours converting the original files in MPEG Streamclip.  I don't know if there is a way to export something out of CS5 and then open a new project in CS3 to make this work.
    Thanks in adavance!

    On export, just crop a few pixels off of each side; that'll let the image scale correctly to the output frame size without black bars.
    I'm not running the trial, but you should still be able to create a custom sequence preset using the Desktop editing mode. Just switch over to the General tab when you create a new sequence, and choose "Desktop" from the editing modes. Set the rest of the parameters as you need them.
    Even easier: once you've imported your footage, just drag a clip to the New Item icon at the bottom of the project panel; a sequence will be created matching your footage parameters. You can edit at full-resolution, and then export to your desired frame size when complete--you'll probably still need to crop a few pixels (in the Export Settings window) to eliminate the black bars.

  • Importing from iMovie 08 to FCE4 - aspect ratio!!

    Hello All,
    I have clips recorded in iMovie 08 (captured from built-in iSight cam) which I'm trying to import into FCE4. Using the standard FCP XML export in iMovie and opening in FCE4, the aspect ratio of all clips is lost.
    I am using the built-in iSight cam to record a video blog (please don't give me flack about not using a dedicated cam), is there a way to preserve the 16:9 aspect ratio from iMovie? I have used the motion settings on the clips to attempt to restore the original aspect ratio (-33 seems to be close), but this seems terribly unscientific and mostly guess work. Thanks.

    In the browser (view as list) check the Anamorphic Flag associated with both the imported clip and your sequence: both should be set. My guess your sequence is not 16:9, in this case you only have to set that flag in the browser to fix it.
    Setting Aspect Ratio = -33 in the Motion tab restores the right proportions of the original video but creates top and bottom bands in a standard 4:3 video and reduces the original video vertical resolution. The anamorphic flag, instead, fixes the video aspect ratio without losing video quality.
    Hope it works
