"choppy"  slide transition during presentation

Whenever the slides in my presentation contain charts or graphs, the transition to that slide becomes "choppy" and slow. I press the spacebar to go to the next slide and it lags for about 10 seconds before going to that slide with graphs. Other times, when I use more dramatic transitions, it simply becomes "choppy". Why does it hang during presentation, and how can i fix it?
*NEED HELP PLEASE*
+Many Thanks+.

Ok, try copying passing the chart through preview to change it from something that needs to be calculated on the fly to something that is JUST a chart. (First, be sure to save off your original presentation so that if you need to change some values, you can do that easily).
With this backup presentation, select the chart, Copy, Open Preview, Do Command-N, Copy, then paste back into Keynote over the other chart. Delete the original chart and then try the presentation like that. If it works better, then just keep that as a separate "presenting" document, making updates as needed from your original.

  • I have a presentation with  100 slides. During the first 10 slides I want one song to start playing from slide

    I have a presentation with +100 slides. During the first 10 slides I want one song to start from the beginning, at the 11th slide a new song starts from the beginning, and so on during the entire presentation. How do I do? Thanks in advance. janfromfinland

    This is a very common request which unfortunately has not been satisfactorily answered albeit for very complicated workarounds using multiple duplicates of your keynote file and hyperlinking them.
    The easiest alternative is to have iTunes play in the background timed to begin when you manually start the keynote. You can create a playlist so the tracks run into each other, or better yet combine them into one track using a free editor like GarageBand. You'll need to rehearse your timings. Hopefully, youre not trying to match lyrics with words or animations as this is not the most exact way to do so.
    The alternative is to create a separate keynote file of those 10 slides and export them to QuickTime, reimport the movie into keynote and add the music track to the file. That will give more accurate timing. The  most accurate timing would be tom import the QuickTime movie into iMovie and add the soundtrack with exact timings. Ive done this successfully except for the fact that exporting this way fools around with any build timings.
    S the final alternative is to do your first 10 slides with music from iTunes and advance the slides manually using screenflow or the latest QuickTime in lion to record the screen Inc music.
    All troublesome but doable workarounds until Apple comes to our aid.

  • 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:

    Anyone experienced this? Anyone got a clue?
    Thanks,

    Which "best practices" are you referring to? If there an

    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 ...

  • 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 Transition

    Hi
    I have recently updated to Keynote 6.2.  Using this I have opened a presentation created with an earlier version of Keynote.  The first slide transition is supposed to be onclick.  However as soon as I run the presentation, the first slide is transitioning to the next slide almost immediately.
    I have tried to reset the transition, but to no effect.   Anyone any ideas please?
    Thanks
    A

    Right, Thanks for that - I was unaware that there was an issue.  Of course, having opened the presentation with 6.2, 5.3 wont open it again.

  • Question about slide transition

    Hi there,
    I've got a question about slide transition in Captivate 6.0.
    By default the slide transition is define with 3 sec. I would like to have transition done manualy, with the navigation, but not after a certain time.
    Is it possible ? For now I've insert a next button. But I would prefer to do this via the navigation.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi there
    Presently the ONLY way to accomplish it is by having an object on each slide that causes the slide to pause. Buttons, Click Boxes, Text Entry Boxes and some of the Widgets cause this behavior.
    If you feel it should operate differently, please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the capability to be added to a future version. (Link to the Wish Form is in my sig)
    Cheers... Rick

  • Keynote Import slide transition timers

    I was told to post here Re: Keynote Import slide transition timers
    Can the transition times for a presentation can be inserted with automator  or can it be imported from a CSV sort of file.
    The way I did this in Powerpoint was I created a static array with all slides timer I wanted, later looped through each slide and set the timer. can similar thing can be done in Keynote with applescript

    Here is the solution for people who care, i figured out a way with some help from stackexchange forum
    tell application "Keynote"
        set ss to slides of document 1
        set c to count of ss
        set timerlist to {5, 4, 3, 9, 6}
        set n to 1
        repeat until n > c
            set timer to item n of timerlist
            set transition properties of item n of ss to {transition delay:timer, automatic transition:true, transition effect:no transition effect, transition duration:0.5}

  • 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.

  • Video is choppy when turning on presentation playbar

    Hello,
    I am having a technical issue involving my inserted .SWF
    files in my Breeze presentation. The files are choppy when I have
    the "Controlled by presentation playbar" setting turned on. Here is
    my presentation:
    http://breeze.thermo.com/vantagetest
    In the second slide of the presentation, you can see the
    video controlled by the playbar is choppy. The rest of the slides
    all have the option unchecked for "Controlled by presentation
    playbar." Because this option is unchecked, the files placed on
    these slides seem to work properly, but can't be controlled by the
    playbar on the presentation. Whenever I check the "Controlled by
    presentation playbar" option, that particular slide tends to end up
    being choppy upon publication.
    The source files were compressed from MPEG2 (Sony Vegas) to
    SWF (Sorenson, non VP6) in this presentation. I have also tried
    using a variety of source files, from AVI, WMV, and other types of
    MPEG files, none of them work properly.
    What is the cause of this problem? How can I resolve it?
    If anyone can assist me in figuring this thing out, I'd
    really appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Bump, can anyone help?

  • Slide Transitions

    I would like to set up my presentation so that there are no slide transitions between slides.  I don't want any slides fading in or fading out.  I thought this could be done by going into the General Properties and setting Transition to No Transition.  I've done that for all of them, but I am still getting some fading in and out.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.
    Terri

    Hi Terri
    Slides themselves typically don't have transitions unless you specifically choose to add them.
    Odds are the objects you have on the slides have the transitions applied. Normally objects (Buttons, Captions, Etc) have a Fade in and Fade Out transition. So you will need to explore changing the transitions for the objects.

  • 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.

  • Movie works in Keynote setup but not during presentation

    Hi,
    I have a movie clip on the last slide of my presentation that will only work on click in the setup portion of Keynote (where I create builds, etc). But will not even work on click in the actual presentation mode (i would prefer that it starts automatically but will live with an on click start). It acts like it wants to start - you hear a split second of audio, then it stops...no motion.
    The file extension for the movie clip shows as MPEG - anyone know how I can get this to play properly on cue in the presentation.

    Wow, I had the same issue, a h.246 video that simply would work in my presentation (it's 185MB) and clicking that option within the "Keynote Preferences > Slideshow > [check] Allow Expose, Dashboard and others to use screen" worked! I unlicked it, and it broke again.
    Clearly a bug.
    Thanks for the tip!

  • Moving one slide to another presentation

    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums, TBash!
    To drag and drop, you need to be able to see the thumbnails for both presentations (using either the Navigator or Light Table views). You drag a thumbnail (or set of thumbnails) from one presentation to the thumbnail area of another.
    If this isn't working, could you provide some more details as to the behaviour you are seeing?
