Can you animate an arrow in Keynote???

I just saw Al Gore's movie on DVD "An Inconvenient Truth" and was floored by the presentation, animated graphics etc.
(1) Where all those animated graphics done in Keynote?
(2) Can I animate an arrow in Keynote if I want to show an army moving across a map in the form of an arrow that keeps growing in length and snaking its way across a map. Is this possible in Keynote???
Thank you in advance,

I've not seen the Gore movie (yet) so I can't talk about it specifically.
There's basic animation capabilities in Keynote only, but people have been pushing it pretty hard. Kyn in here has some good examples of what can be done (I can't remember his homepage link now but I'm sure he'll post into this thread). For more sophisticated stuff the animation is done in another tool and then saved as a Quicktime movie and that is then used in Keynote. If you use an alpha channel then you can have the movie animation float over your keynote slide. The keynotepro folks (I love their themes) have a movie pack of arrows etc. you can purchase (I have it). Scroll down this page and look for the motion pack. http://www.keynotepro.com/themes/PitchBoards2.html

you need to give a bit more information as your post is confusing
Keynote is a presentation application from Apple
ppt is the file type suffix for PowerPoint from Microsoft
Keynote is not a Powerpoint show
Keynote can be converted to Powerpoint
Powerpoint can be converted to Keynote
The following are the only things that can alter how the sound is played in Keynote:

Can you enable Numbers, Pages, or Keynote to automatically save every....

Can you enable Numbers, Pages, or Keynote to automatically save every ...(desired time intervals) like Microsoft Office does?

You will get a link to my Applescript which not only autosaves but keep consecutive datestamped copies so, if the last saved copy appears to be a corrupted one, you may get the preceeding one.

How advanced can you animate a character in Flash?

Hello, I learned the bone tool a while back, and i was just wondering can you animate a charachter using advanced AS3? to move hands and facial muscles or even clothing to fall around a charachter as they move? or is there a way to do this using Flash and AS3? because i am interested in doing an advanced flash animation. thanks.

whether it looks choppy or not depends on your frame rate (flash can help) and the amont of change from one frame to the next (not something flash can help you with).
if you have changes like, shape, position, color, rotation, skew etc, flash can animate those without the need for frame-by-frame animation.

Can you import custom templates for keynote?

Can you import custom templates for keynote?

Yes you can. You can import a Motion project file directly into DVD Studio Pro, though when I tried it took a loooooong time (depends on the size and complexity of the project of course). Here's a tutorial on how to do that:
http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-use-dvd-studio-pro-4-with-motion-53426/
OR... you can just export your Motion project and import it into DVD SP as a Quicktime file, and put that in the Menu section. Then you can add your buttons and so forth and proceed from there.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

That depends on what you mean by "the animation thing".
can you scan in a picture and trace it then get rid of the scanned picture?
If you so chose yes; you may want to familiarise yourself with Layers.
But depending on the nature of the illustration a dedicated vector program may be a better fit.

A Photoshop license entitles one to two installations.

Why don’t you ask the makers of that product?

Can you use iTunes without exiting Keynote?

I am using keynote to do presentations for kids and it is not a fixed structure for each one.We change between slides regulary and is there a way to embed music into a group of slides 4 or 5 slides without the embeded music for those slides interfering with music embeded in other slides of the presentation.Is there a way to use I Tunes without having to exit keynote,is there a shortcut for I Tunes to be used with keynote.

Welcome to the forum!
1. With KN, you can either have music on one slide or on a whole presentation, but not defined for a group of slides within a larger presentation. The work-around for achieving the effect of the latter is to make each group of slides for which you want continuous music into a separate presentation, and connect the presentations using hyperlinks. When doing this, it's best to open all the presentations before beginning, so there's no lag going from one presentation to the next.
2. You probably already know that iTunes can play music while a KN presentation is being run, so that's not your question/problem. You probably want to control iTunes while running a presentation. AFAIK, that can't be done seamlessly, because in presentation mode KN monopolizes the whole screen. You can come close to this by using Spaces or Exposé, but, as I said, it's far from seamless or elegant. (To try this, you've got to "Enable Exposé and Spaces" under KN's Slideshow Preferences). If you're versed in AppleScript or Automator, that might help, too, but I'm not, so I can't say more.

Can you embed a website in Keynote

I have a client that wants to embed a website in a Keynote presenation. An active/clickable website, not just a screen capture.

I haven't tried it (though I keep meaning to) but I believe that this feature is available in Keynote '08. If you can find a computer that has the older version and create it, then I think it will still work if copied into Keynote '09.

Can you place an arrow over a letter?

I am trying to type vectors for my physics class and I was wondering if there was any way to put an arrow pointing to the right over a letter of my choice?

You can go to Character Palette (Edit > Special Characters), View = Code Tables, Tab = Unicode, 000020D0 (Combining marks for symbols), and find 20D7 and double click on it after typing the letter. x⃗
Fonts that have it are Arial Unicode, Code2000, Everson Mono, and Unicode Symbols. You may need to download one of the last 3 if it does not display for you.
It might be better to use an equation program, depending on how much such stuff you need to do.

Can you pair multiple machines with keynote remote

Is it possible to advance multiple machines running keynote using keynote remote?

Not quite sure what you are trying to do.
AppleTV can see different active itunes libraries running on Macs/PCs via Home Sharing, but AppleTV behaves as a single user device in teh sense you can't log on as different users.
iPads/iPhones can't 'pair' with AppleTv as such but can broadcast content via Airplay

Can you invert a mask in Keynote 09?

I'm trying to figure out if you can invert a mask in Keynote Instead of the mask being the opaque area of the image, it would be the transparent area of the image. So, you'd have a hole in your image. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there is a workaround? I need to be able to do this inside of Keynote, a PNG with a hole will not work for my situation. Thanks for any input.

So, I essentially drew a shape and overlapped it on itself to make a hollow area on the inside. I then used that as a mask, worked wonderfully. The whole reason for me doing this is to see if I can put this masked image on a master page, and then place video behind it on a slide with this masked/master. Problem is the video, when behind that masked image, will not give you the controls when rolled over in presentation mode. Keynote doesn't recognize your pointer is over a movie if the masked image sits above that movie. Therefore, you don't get the movie controls in presentation mode.

Can you automatically downsample images in Keynote without cropping?

Hello All,
I am trying to get Keynote to perform what I think is a pretty basic task, but can't figure out how to make it happen. I am an art teacher and frequently show my students slide shows made from a large database of .jpgs I have amassed. Most of the .jpgs were scanned at high resolutions - roughly 2500px on the long edge. They are made at this size to anticipate improvements in projector resolution in the future. The slideshows I make are at XGA (1024x768) because this is the native resolution of the school's projectors.
I want to be able to drop large numbers of slides into a slideshow and have Keynote to automatically downsample them to fit on an XGA slide without cropping the image. I currently have "Reduce placed images to fit on slides" checked in the General Preferences. This does downsample the images, but does so in a way that fills the slide with the image and crops on one dimension depending on the aspect ratio of the image. So for example, with the two Kertesz images below, the top and bottom is cropped off the first one and the sides off of the second one. Keynote scales it down so that the image fills the entire slide rather than scaling down so the entire image can fit on the slide.
FIG 1a
FIG 2a
I can then go in and resize the image manually in the metrics tab of the inspector so that the full image is represented in each slide (Fig 1b and 2b below). I have to type in the dimension that is being cropped (768 in Fig 1, 1024 in Fig 2). This further downsamples the image fitting the entire image on the slide which is desired. Doing this for each slide can be burdensome though if I am showing slideshows of 100 or so images. My question is if there is a way to get the results below automatically. I would like to drop multiple images into my slideshow and have it be downsampled so that the entire image fits on the slide. Does anyone know how to make Keynote do this? Thanks.

In the layer of interest make sure the vector mask is selected. Then in the Masks panel adjust the feather slider to an amount that looks right.

HT4636 Can you open a PDF in Keynote for iPad?

I am a designer using InDesign. I'd like to export my presentation to PDF and then open on my iPad using Keynote. Doable?

Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

Can you animate a folder in the dock?

I am looking for a way to animate the dropbox folder in the dock, when something has been dropped in it by other users over a network.
Is there a third party software/plug-in for this?

If you usually keep that folder empty, then there is a way. Right-click or Control-click the icon of the folder, then choose Stack from the Display As section in the popup menu that appears.
Then, whenever anything is dropped into that folder its icon should change from generic folder to an icon resembling the item dropped into it.
Note - this will work only if you keep the folder empty. "Stack" mode will always display an icon other than that of a folder if there is something in the folder.
I keep my Downloads folder empty and set to Stack. This way I know immediately if I accidentally initiated a download, or if something else did.

Can you play multiple movies in keynote on the ipad2 at the same time?

I have an ipad2 with keynote, and am trying to play my presentatin with 2 movies on one page at the same time. But it only seems to be able to play one movie and then you have to tap the next movie to get it to play. Now I have set up the build to play with the other movie and it works fine on the MacBook Pro, but on the ipad it refuses to work. Anyone know how to resolve this? Also keynote doe'nt seem to support video borders.......

Soon.
