Auto slide transition after build out?

I'm trying to make several items on the page cleanly dissolve out and then have the slide transition automatically to the next slide. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
I can't set the automatic transition to a time because this presentation is going to an exec who will be talking and fielding questions and there's no way to anticipate how long the slide will need to be up.
It seems like the build out needs something like a callback function where it can execute something on build complete. Any way to do this? (Or at least request it as a feature in iWork '11?)

To make sure I understand you correctly, you want to have the text and/or images on the screen and then after all the questions, have the exec click which will fade out the text/images and then a slide transition. Is that correct?
If so, what you have to do is make sure the build out is set to happen on click and set the transition to Automatically. The transition will not happen until the last build out is complete.

Automatic slide transition timing

I'm putting together a presentation with multiple actions on each slide. The actions are all timed and I want each slide to be displayed for exactly 30 seconds before transition to the next slide.
But I can't figure out how to set this up. Is the automatic slide transition delay timed from the when the slide appears or when the last action finishes? I tried working it out both ways and it doesn't make sense.
e.g
I have a slide where a picture appears after 20 seconds. I then set the auto slide transition to 10 seconds. I expected the slide to change at 30s but it actually does it nearer 40s?
What's going on?
Thanks

I tried a new experiment with a fresh, new Keynote presentation. Plain white background. Three words that animate, each On Click. Move In, Bottom to Top. .2 second speed. Dragged my WAV narration file to the slide. Recorded the presentation, animating each word manually at the appropriate point in the narration. Playing back the recording in Keynote looks and sounds as intended. Exported to QuickTime. Narration starts, first animation doesn't appear in time. As soon as first animation appears, audio cuts off completely. Other two animations appear, with no audio.
I even tried a different font this time (a standard OS X font). This can't be a problem with my presentation file.
Something is wrong with the QuickTime exporting function. I'd love to know if anyone has had success (visuals and audio in sync) exporting to QuickTime after importing your narration (or sounds) by dropping an audio file on the slide.

Building in and then building out

I have a series of bullet points that I'd like to have build in then out one at a time so there's only one bullet at a time on a particular slide. When I try to rearrange the bullet points in the Build Order box of the Inspector it only allows me to move all the Build Ins or all the Build Outs but not one at a time. I'd like to have bullet one build in on the first click and then build out on the second click and same thing with the next two bullets. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Marc

Is there a way to do this? Yes.
See the Build Inspector, select all the bullets, Build IN, and Delivery by Paragraph
then
select all the bullets, Build Out, and Delivery by Paragraph,
then
in the Drawer, start shuffling and altering the Start Build until you get what you want.
Alternately, have each bullet item as a separate object (text block) (which is effectively what the above does) and manipulate as desired.
Or
have each bullet on a separate slide and just do a slide transition without builds.

Making slide transition appear in build overwiev

In the new Keynote '13, I'm not able to set a slide transition animation, appear after a previous build. The slide transition doesn't even appear in the buildoverwiev window.
I have a headline, I have assagined an build out animation to, this starts with a click, after that has happen I would like the slidetransition to happen automatically. But as it is now I can't choose to have the slidetransition happen after previous, as it dosen't appear in the buildoverwiev. I can only force the slidetransition with another click.
Any fix to this?

To be correct; the latest Keynote is version 6.1 not 13.
Slide transitions are not builds, they are a separate type of effect. Only Builds appear in the Builds Order List. Builds are effects for objects, transitions are effects for slides.
The effects you want can easily be achieved however;
to add the build to the object on the slide:
click the object on the slide to select, Inspector > Animate > Build Out > Add an effect
to add a transition for the slide:
click the slide in the Navigator pane to select, Inspector > Animate > Add an effect >
select a transition effect
to action the transition after the build:
in the Start Transition dropdown menu, seect Automatically

Can I get magic move to operate automatically after a build out?

Can I get magic move to operate automatically after a build out? I don't want to using timing as the presentation is not static.
Thanks..

Welcome to the forums!
In the Slide Inspector, in the Transition tab, use the Start Transition dropdown menu to select "Automatically". The transition will then start after the last animation on the slide.

Slide repeats when using build outs

I'm new to Keynote Version 4 and I'm having some trouble with a self-forwarding slideshow I'm creating. Every time I use a build out, the slide repeats on playback. I'll use build ins to add photos (most of it is photos) and then when I want to get rid of them by using a build out, the problem occurs.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Russell, glad you found a solution.
What I was going to suggest first, before looking at your sample, was to have something on a slide that as an automatic build so that when you go to the previous slide, that object would act as your transition. In playing around, I have found some pleasing effects using either graphic and text elements.

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.

Different transitions page build in and build out

is there a way to create different transitions for page build in and build out in indesign?

You are correct - that is not Indesign Terminology. I want to have a differnet page transiton when I arrive at page 2 then when I leave page 2. I want objects to animate in a particula waay when I arrive on page two, and those objects to animate away in a differnet way when I leave page 2. I can't seem to get a button to do animations AND then leave a page.

Audio cuts out at slide transitions when played on TV

The audio on the DVD is my own narration, nothing downloaded from iTunes--and it works fine both in the iDVD viewer and DVD player on my computer. But in the DVD player attached to my TV, the audio cuts out at each slide transition, which are dissolves.
The image files are relatively small, and there are only 25 slides. I burned the DVD at 4x rather than maximum speed to enhance quality. In preferences, I have "best quality" rather than "best performance" checked for the encoder settings.
Please let me know if you have any ideas for a fix.

Is the audio embedded in the video or did you do a voice over?
If it is embedded in the video, you might try extracting the video and then adding the transitions.

It it possible to use "Build Out" actions in "Hyperlinks Only" mode?

I'm trying to make a "Hyperlinks Only" keynote so that my students can navigate through exercises at their own pace. So far so good. However, I'm trying to make it more visually engaging. I can use build-in's fine for a page, but build outs do not seem to work. Keynote's inspector allows me to give an object a "build out" command OR an "action" command, but when the presentation actually runs, tapping the object just takes you immediately to the next slide without doing a build out or an action.
Is this a bug? Or is this something Keynote specifically does/can not do? Or please say I'm just doing something wrong and you can show me the light.
Thanks in advance.
--Brandon

Build in and build out work perfectly well.
select the object on the slide then add the build in effect
start the build to automatically after transition
open the build order side panel by clicking more options
build out:
select build out and add the effect
set start build automatically then add the amount of delay
note that the build order has the build in listed first, and the build out is last

Slide transition animation and image in the slide master

Hi,
I placed an image in one of the slide masters, because I want that image static in the slide background. But when I add a transition to the slides made with that master, the image I placed is animated too. Should I do something else in the slide master so the image I placed is not affected by the slide transition?
Macbook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite and Keynote 6.5
Regards.

There is no such thing as an object transition, objects are animated using Builds or Actions: Inspector > Animate
I'm referring to "Object Effects" in the Transitions pull down (Object Push, Object Revolve, Object Flip, etc). So yes, technically there is an Object (transition) effect where objects transition between slides.
Backgrounds do not animate when using Builds or Actions.
True. However, if you use the last version of Keynote (before 6.5 and the Yosemite update) and place an image on the master slide it will not animate when applying many of the Object Effects.
When an action or or Build is applied to an objet, the slide or the background does not animate, only the object animates.
Same point as I made above.
No EnzoFT said, "when I add a transition to the slides made with that master, the image I placed is animated too."
EnzoFT was using a slide transition therefore any object on a slide will be included in the effect.
If you try what I said above in the previous version of Keynote, it will not animate. However, I found out how to make an image on the master slide NOT animate in Keynote 6.5 (I made a comment earlier in the thread about this). Open the master slide, select the Slide Layout, change the background to Image Fill, and the image won’t animate from one slide to the next when you apply an Object Effects transition to a slide.
That is a very narrow minded personal opinion.
Selecting a transition, Build or Action should be based on how it enhances the presentation and what you want to animate; the slide, the object or both.
Narrow minded personal opinion?!? Do you really need to go there? I was simply making an observation.
Use Builds or Actions.
There has been no change; Transitions affect the whole slide, Builds and Actions affect objects on a slide.
If you try what I mentioned above there has been a change. Thanks for offering advice, but doing a little research in the future before replying to issues will help with providing more accurate information.

Slide transitions are choppy only on replay

When I watch a video I've created (either using the F4
preview or after publishing to SWF), the initial view functions as
planned. When I click my 'Replay' button on the last slide,
transitions between slides with a 10 or 15% transparent image don't
transition properly. The video "jumps". Here are my details...
Using Captivate 3
Projects range in size, but are fairly average-to-small
* 15 - 30 slides
* 0:50 - 1:50 in length
2 slides next to each other each have a .PNG image to fade
out the background, so text can be read more easily
* 10% or 15% transparency set on the images
* No transition set between slides
* No Fade in or Fade out set on images
'Replay' button jumps to Slide 2. Get the same behavior
jumping to Slide 1.
If I use the 'Restart/Replay' button on the Playbar, the
slides transition smoothly. Here's a sample of what happens:
GlitchyExample
Anyone experienced this? Anyone got a clue?
Thanks,
Marty

Which "best practices" are you referring to? If there an
official "best practices" document I may have overlooked? I've
configured the video using Captivate's features, so I'm not sure
how the results are "predictable." It works beautifully on the
first run, and the glitch doesn't occur until the replay. That
sounds like a timing issue inside Captivate (my junior member
analysis).
The "best practices" that I refer to are written, but
in a thousand posts and emails over years and years, not as an
intentionally constructed volume of work available by itself.
Sorry. Your "junior member analysis" is not to be taken lightly,
and I apologize if I made it sound like it was being so construed.
My apologies are hereby offered, if any are needed.
I think now I might have mis-read your original post, as it
seemed then that you were assigning the transparency and some other
attributes to the PNG image prior to insertion to Captivate,
thinking those attributes would be mimicked within Captivate.
Reading your last, it appears that was an incorrect translation on
my part. I do see what you refer to as "glitchy", however, and
don't have a fix for it aside from leaving off the objects that
seem to be causing it - or accepting that a "replay" can be worked
around or avoided entirely. Sorry I don'thave anything to offer
that is more to the point of your complaint. Maybe someone else ...

Print VI front panel to file does not work after building executable.

I am using a property and invoke node to print the front panel of my VI to an HTML file. It works fine in the development mode. After Building the application, this subvi will no longer
print the front panel. Is there some special files that included in the build??

You can use the Report Generation VIs to generate the HTML report. Specifically, you could use Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi and Save Report to File.vi to save the image of the panel to an HTML report.
Check out the examples in examples\reports to get a better idea how to use these VIs if you've never used them before.
Good luck,

MS office report function does not work after building the appication

I use the MS office report function with a custom excel template my application.
It works properly in de developstate, but after building the application it does not work .

What error message if any did you get? It could be a couple things:
1. Did you include the Report Toolkit's dynamic vis in the app's build process?
Ref: Error 7 when Running an .EXE Using VIs from Report Generation Toolkit for MS Office
2. How are you giving the path to you custom template, as a relative or an absolute path? The path will be different for the .exe. You have to strip twice.

Averaging n number of data per x time after stripping out zeros

Hey all,
Very new to LabView and dropped in the deep end. I have a DAQ outputting data at 10hz. I need to be able to average that dataset every second after filtering out values I do not want and the zero values also, before saving to file. Currently I am outputting the data, instructing it to zero the values outputting below 0.6 and above 1.8. From there I need to rempove the zeros, so to average the remaining values in each 1 second/10hz interval and output one value per second.
I have attached the file.
Thanks

So you want ot average only the values between 0.6 and 1.8?
Well, we can go about this in 2 ways: build an array of data points to keep or delete the unwanted data points. It is probably easiest to build an array of points to keep. So here's what you should do. Use a FOR loop and autoindex the waveform array. Use the In Range and Coerce function to see if your current data point is within the range. If it is add to the array. The building of the array should be handled with a shift register.
