Assigning Magic Move to Specific Objects

I'm creating a presentation where multiple, identical items need to be placed at different positions on screen. The first object moves from the center of the screen to it's place, but for subsequent slides, instead of moving the newly-placed center item, it moves the first item to the second position. How do I assign specific objects to use during magic move transitions?

Thanks for your reply. I'm finding that doing things slowly, and methodically produces the best results, but there are a few actions that I'm unable to pinpoint the cause. I've uploaded part of the file here: http://bit.ly/1aMWQz
Slides 7, 8 & 9: The bottom row of coins rearranges between transitions.
Slide 9 & 10: The caption "6 Ways" uses the anagram transition which is intended only for the title.
Slides 11 & 12: The captions "6 Ways" and "15 Ways" disappear briefly. The same occurs in subsequent frames.
How do I remedy this?
Thanks.

When will Keynote support Magic Move between masked objects?

OK, moving an object from one slide to another is a cool transition, but when they say Move, they really just mean Move. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to support the Magic Move transition between two masked objects but it can't be done. And many a folk here wish it could be by the postings I've seen.
Essentially it would allow you to zoom in on a portion of an image as you transition to the next slide, or zoom out to see the big picture.
Come on Apple, we're begging you.

Thanks for posting Dave.
I noticed this too (along with position problems with builds imported from Keynote 08). Magic Move is definitely a work in process. Make sure you pass your observations on to Apple via the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback with reference to this thread.
Very much looking forward to the next release for Keynote 09.

Magic move incompatible with object transitions...why?

The magic move page transition does not work if you have other object transitions on the 1st page of the magic move paired pages. Remove the object transitions, and it works fine. Is there a list of what object transitions are compatible with magic move and what is not? I cannot figure out a pattern.
Thanks
bob

MM has it's quirks to be sure. Best to split your animation into several slides. Always duplicate a slide to make the A or B slide for a MM, then only change what you must to achieve the transition. Leave all other transitions to other slides if you are having issues. MM is very sensitive to the object data it uses to associate the objects on slide A to objects on slide B and is easily upset by stack order changes and other things... transitions on objects may come into that.

Magic Move Fades? Is This New?

Hello Community-
I've been using MagicMove for a long time and love it. Suddenly today, I went to use it, and the objects, except for what's moving, now fades. Is this new or did I forget something? To describe what happens:
- click the button to start the slide transition
- Objects in back of the objects that are assigned to move fade out
- Objects move
- Backgrounds objects fade back in.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I'm having difficulty replicating your problem. I created a slide with many objects, some in the foreground others in the background. I cloned the slide and then moved some of the objects and assigned Magic Move to the first slide - everything works as it should with no fades of the stationary objects.
Could you possibly have a build inadvertently assigned to the background objects? Select each your misbehaving background objects and check using Build Inspector to see if there might be something assigned. Check on both the first and the target slides; you might possibly have a build-out on the first.
Other than that, you might try removing the offending background object(s) and place them back in again - this will cancel out any hidden builds.

Interrupt Magic Move

I have a 30 second Magic Move where an object slowly scrolls during a long period of speaking. But if I speak quickly and want to interrupt the Magic Move — say after 20 seconds — how can I move on to the next slide? It seems as if the Magic Move has to finish before you can do anything else.
Thanks!

You can jump to any slide during an effect if you use two screens.
In presenter display, click show navigator button, located top left of presenters screen and select which slide to move to.
Keynote > preferences > slide show > enable presenter display

Assign a texture by clicking on a specific object

Hello there,
I have a certain number of objects in a live scene (cubes,
boxeq, cones...)
I would like to assign a texture on a object by cicking on it.
I assume that a mouse pick feature and the standart
texture assignment are needed.
But how to link to two actions ?
Any idea ?
Thanks
Spytox

In the picking process you get a <<shape>>:
shape = (Shape3D) pickResult.getNode(PickResult.SHAPE3D);
pickshape=shape;
Then , when you got it :
pickshape.setAppearance(newappear);
Where newappear is an appearance node which points to your texture.
Go !!

What's the secret to magic move

I've been using Keynote for years and have yet to fully understand how to dependably get magic move to do what I want. At times it feels like there's no rhyme or reason. One moment a transition is working and the next it's unrepeatable.
Has anyone found a detailed magic move tutorial that explains the magic?
Or perhaps you might have some specific tips that will clear things up?
Thanks!

From page 107 of the Keynote User Guide:
Tips for Creating a Magic Move Transition
Magic Move doesn’t work with tables, charts, or movies.
For best results with a Magic Move transition, duplicate the slide and apply the Magic Move transition between the original and the duplicate.
To set up a Magic Move transition:
1 Create a slide and place the objects (text, shapes, images) where you want them.
2 Select the slide in the Slide Navigator and press Command-D to duplicate the slide.
3 On the copy of the slide, reposition and resize some or all of the text, shapes, and images on the slide.
4 Add any additional text or graphics you want to add to the copied slide, and delete any objects you don’t want on it.
5 Select the first slide of the pair and apply the Magic Move transition.
That being said, there are a lot of little tricks. For example, you can usually group objects to exclude them from Magic Move matching, and if you have an object that isn't matching between slides, usually deleting it from the second, copying it from the first, then pasting it onto the second will match them.
Do you have specific examples of Magic Move not doing what you want it to? If so, we might be able to help you out.
(And if you want Apple to know about it and hopefully fix it in the next release, you could tell them what isn't working for you via their feedback form, or—to be ESPECIALLY helpful—file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com and attach the misbehaving Keynote decks to those bugs.)

How can I choose the target image in Magic Move?

Hello,
I'm trying to use Magic Move to transition between slides. There are multiple shapes that are the same size and color on the target slide. Is there a way to control what the "target" shape is in Keynote?
Here's what I mean (please pardon my corniness):
Could I make it so that this image "shrinks" into the box on the far right ("Already")?
Right now, it's defaulting to the third box from the left each time.
Thank you so much for any help!

Hello HanktheCat,
Thank you for providing the details of what you are trying to do with Magic Move in Keynote. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
To use Magic Move, you set a target location by moving the original object to a new location or changing the size on the following slide. I found an article with some tips on how to set this up:
The Magic Move transition uses graphics and text that appear both on the current slide and the following slide. During the transition, the objects are moved into their new position and size on the following slide. This transition only works when you use an identical image, shape, or text box in a different location or with a different size on the next slide. Magic Move doesn’t work with tables, charts, or movies.
For best results with a Magic Move transition, duplicate the slide and apply the Magic Move transition between the original and the duplicate.

Add any additional text or graphics you want to add to the copied slide, and delete any objects you don’t want on it.
Select the first slide of the pair and apply the Magic Move transition. For detailed instructions on how to add a transition between slides, see Adding Transitions Between Slides.

Magic Move and Charts

I was watching the video of todays WWDC keynote and at one point Phil Schiller was showing a graph that smoothly changed vertical size and scale when transitioning between one slide and another. He then said (I am paraphrasing) "Magic Move in Keynote".
I went right to my Keynote '09 and have spent the last 45 minutes trying to get Keynote to do such a smooth Magic Move transition. Started with a scatter chart. Generated on a page, copied and pasted in the next and just shrunk the vertical size. No smooth transition. I removed the legend from both. Same no go. Tried it with 4 other chart types and in none did Magic Move smoothly transition a chart from one page into another where the size was changed.
Has anyone else done this? Look at the WWDC video - it happens with Phil's first part of the presentation showing numbers of OsX users. Can anyone duplicate this with a chart???

I think so. There is no other way. As I said it's not perfect. Magic Move makes the animation dependent from the objects being at front and at back. To make it perfect, you need to care about that. As this would REALLY take time I didn't do so. But I think Apple does have employees for that
You can do the diagram with keynote, then remove all gridlines etc. copy it and paste it into Photoshop as a Vector smart object. Then save it as a .psd file and put it back into keynote....

Value assignment and value assignment type in the specification workbench

Hi all,
There is this section on the specification workbench called u201CProperty Treeu201D, this section contains all the value assignment type, I have two questions on this.
Question 1 u2013
What is exactly the value assignment type? The SAP help portal said it is a structure specification data and information. What exactly does it mean and its usage?
Question 2 u2013
May I know where is the SPRO configuration that actually causes the list of value assignment types appear on the property tree section for this particular specification type which I created.
In another word, I create this new specification with specification type u201CREAL_SUBu201C and specification category u201CSubstanceu201C in the specification workbench transaction. Next thing I know is that the property tree section for this particular specification consists of a list of value assignment type. How does the system assigned these list of value assignment types to this specification i created? Coz I didnu2019t do anything.
Where in SPRO and the logic link it up on this??
Thanks.

Hello all
EH&S contains a number of submodules (PS, DG, IH etc.). Regarding each submodule a basic customizing is delivered by SAP. One example is the specification type. Usually you will find something like
REAL_SUB
LIST_SUB
etc. in the Customizing as discussed. Further more I believe with EH&S 2.7. the specification category come in place (SUBSTANCE as an example). You need to take care regarding this too.
An value assignment type can be grouped in a property tree and a property tree can be linked to a specification type and there are cases known that one specification type is linked only to one property tree (this is a decision regarding business needs and not an IT quesition). Using the EHS& surface you can change the property tree per specification if the set up is done in Customizing. Therefore the property tree is a "view" on the data linked to a specification. (identifeirs etc. are managed different)
A "property" is based on a value assigment type and in many cases on a related EH&S class and characteristic. You will find these types.
A => value assignment type to be used if you need characteristics
B => value assignment type to be used if you need specification listing
C => value assignment type to be used if you need composition
.. etc.
You can mix types. That means you can create a property of type "A" and "C" (take a look in SAP original tree; you will find examples how to do it).
A propetry tree is a "list" of assignment type related to a object (specification). Using the property tree you can maintain necessary data. Therefore ithe property tree itself contains per specification the list of "potential" data structures you can fill with data. I belive SAP Standard is delviering now something like 250 properties (valeu assignment types): To e.g. get an MSDS you need to maintain I would assume at least something like 20 up to 50 properties
The area of customizing regrading property tree, specification types etc. is the most crticial to have a sucessful EH&S project running; any wrong decision gives rise to a high cost later Therefore take your time to understand what effect does which customizing acitivity have later.
Based on the value assignemnt you will create later e.g. a WWI report (like MSDS).
Additionally if necessary you can create customer specific value assignment types by either do a copy from SAP original to "Z" (highly recommended to do so!) or starting from basic.
Starting with EH&S 2.7. you have now more options to "change" EH&S using standard EH&S functionality. Take a look in customizinjg (example: you could create you own "look and feel" of the workbench (you should'nt really do that but it is possible). You can design your own "tab strips" etc.
So once again: the "correct" set up of EH&S in the area of e.g. identifers, speficiation types, property trees etc. is the "core" activity in EH&S customizing and therefore think "twice" before you change the setup up (you need to understand what a change mean)
With best regards
C.B.

Magic Moves not always Magic (non-linear slide orders)

Magic Moves opens the possibility of non-linear slide orders with animated transitions. Previously in keynote (KN '08), as far as I could ascertain, this was impossible. Now a slide with several hyper-linked objects can enjoy an animation of the on screen objects to there new positions, where-ever they may be on the on the linked slides.
Unfortunately, as in some other things Keynote, it seems flakey. While it works most of the time for some reason, even when duplicating the linking slide and repositioning the very same objects, the Move is delayed and instantaneous: decidedly not Magic!
The joy of being able to finally make the fully interactive Keynote presentation that will slide objects the right amount automatically according to there destination slide seems possible. The great thing is I don't have to construct all the different moves linking 26 different pages to each other via various routes (8 links on each page, which happened to be 8x26 possible linking routes = 208 move builds: too much for prescriptive build/move animations).
But if I can't get it too work 100% I can't really show my client. Any know issues with this Magic Move stuff?
I can replicate problem but not predict when it won't work or decode what is triggering the problem. Searching forum only revealed comment the Magic Move is work in progress. Note I am not scaling any objects. Can upload if it helps. Part of the original Presentation with a linear narrative can be seen at:
http://www.vimeo.com/3018559
Essentially I am endeavouring to make all the images 'clickable' so the film strip glides (against the preset order) to become the centre project. Also like to add a left and right button. All this can be theoretically done with invisible rect's with hyperlinks and Magic moves on each slide.
Thanks for reading though all this – hope it's clearer than mud.

Thanks for the response, Kyn.
As it happens writing that long explanation, I thought I'd look from another angle and returned to the file – finding the answer straight away.
Conclusion:
Hyperlinks never use Magic Move transition, even if it is selected transition for the slide. I was getting hoodwinked by the fact that when I had forward and back arrows with hyperlinks to other slides, those slides were before and after the current slide. So they were Magic Moving with a mouse click on the Hyperlink, but only when forward one slide or backward one slide. Any other linking distance failed to Magic Move.
I've already made the feature request but *please second it*, this would be a very powerful feature. Think Non-Linear Presentations and Info Kiosks with seamless transitions. And interaction is an area Powerpoint has decided edge on Keynote so it can and needs to be closed! (PP is such a trial of an interface after KN).

Actions and Magic Move transition

In several slides, I have added a SCALE action and a MOVE action to objects in the slide. I then add Magic Move transition between slides, which works great, until the object pops back down to it's original slide instead of staying at the scaled size. Is there a way to make my SCALE action stick once the transition/move is complete?

I then add Magic Move transition between slides, which works great, until the object pops back down to it's original slide instead of staying at the scaled size.
Why have you added a magic move transition, what are you trying to achieve, that the actions in slide 1, do not do?

How to use magic move with connection lines?

When I use magic move with connection lines, they disappear and reappear in the next slide. It seems like magic move doesn't recognize the connection lines (or can't match them), so it just redraws them, instead of leaving them there.
I'm trying to use magic move to make a nice presentation that includes connection lines. How can I make without the lines disappearing every time something moves?

Group the shapes and connection line together:
select the objects then Arrange > Group (alt Command G)

Actions and Magic Move bug?

Symptom: When making a transition on one particular slide the "static" slide appears for a moment before making a successful transition.
Description: I have a slide on which there are several text boxes that appear and then move to different locations on the slide. One text box is used as the magic move link, this text box has no actions attached to it.
When the "static" slide is viewed in keynote the result is very confused with text boxes overlaid on each other - as expected.
When I play the slide transition in the slide show mode the first slide completes all its moves and then fleetingly displays the "static" version of the slide before successfully completing the transition.
Any suggestions as to what might be the cause of this behavior?
Thanks

Error generating client-specific objects

Dear all,
while generating environment in maintain operating concern i am getting following error
Message no. KE007
Diagnosis
     The system automatically adjusted operating concern PAPL, or the
     environment of operating concern PAPL was regenerated. An error occurred
     while the system was generating client-specific objects in client 600.

Activate data structures, generate environment
so i could not generate the environment in development server
kindly help me ..
Thanks and regards

Dear paul,
Thanks for you reply
Actually the problem is when op.concern was generated in dev.server it was transported to test and production server,but while transporting some request from development my client got dump in development server and so operating concern was changed to transport the requests.Also in old operating concern some characteristics and value fields were added and deleted by user .Now when trying to activate environment (client specific part) it gives above error message.
also we have got reply from sap which is as under:
1)Thanks for the log in details. I was logged in to your system and checked the issue. I found few inconsistencies in the system. Please let me know if you have deleted any characteristic or value fields or if you have done any COPA transports recently.
2)Thanks for the reply, we have changed and deleted characteristicsand value fields. Since we have changed our operating concern PAPL TO PAP1 and then assigned to controlling area PAPL which is not transported
to production server then again we have changed as usual PAPL so we are facing this activation problem .please guide us to solve this problem as early as possible
3)) I am not sure if I can help you resolving the issue as this is purely an inconsistency created by user action. These kinds of issues can be solved only by our remote consulting colleagues. However if you want to restore the old settings you can transport the operating concern through KE3I from your quality or production where the system is working fine.
In test and production my operating concern is working fine ,is it possible to transport request from test or production to development ?
also kindly suggest any other solutions
Thanks and Regards
vijay
