Converting Slide Size for Whole Presentation 06 - 08

My iWork 06 presentations are all 800x600 resolution. How do I convert a whole presentation into an iWork 08 widescreen (any other resolution) size?
I have opened a new presentation in Widescreen and cut and pasted all 800x600 slides from an 06 presentation; some of the slides adjust properly, some the dimensions get distorted and I have to readjust the whole slide. Any ideas?

1) Resolutions are globally set for each document. When you copy from one Keynote document to another, Keynote will automatically alter the new destination slide to the destination document resolution setting if they were not the same resolution to begin with.
2) Also, there is a grouping bug in '08 which may move objects randomly. This might be part of what you are seeing.
Check the Keynote manual pp 169-170.

Setting up the correct custom project size size for keynote presentation in FCP 7 or motion?

Hi...anyone else do this?
I have been creating and editing films in FCP (not X) for years now and have got into creating the whole presentation for clients awards ceremonies etc. via Keynote on my iPad via HDMI to HD projectors and it looks amazing and is seamless on the night. No need for crappy powerpoint slides and jumping to low res DVD films - its all controlled via my iPad.
But i want to up the creativity of the presentations - at the moment we import the films as mp4 HD QT files and jpegs of the speakers/nominees/titles screens etc. created in Photoshop and put the whole thing together in Keynote on my iPad. It worked a treat and my clients love it!
Now i had a thought and did a test and created Motion graphics versions of the speakers titles and nominees screens in Apple Motion - so that they had an animated section at the start with whoosh audio stingers as they are played and not just stills - and then export them as QT files - import to FCP 7 timeline and export to compresser ready to convert to mp4 for Keynote.
This way i can extend the static part of the screen after the motion graphic part to say 10 mins as i never know how long the speaker will be on stage.
Then when the speaker moves on the next item i can hit the ipad which will move to the next presentaion screen!
Q. Now ive been doing these as HD 16:9 screens - but when imported to Keynote I have a white band top and bottom on the screen so i really need to start with a template screen size of 1024 x 768 for Keynote and also keep this size in FCP 7! And also export to Quicktime as the same size.
When i do static jpegs to import into Keynote i just define the pixel canvas size - 1024 x 768 @ 300dpi in Photoshop and it works fine but im not sure what to do in Motion or PCP as I have always created my films in 16:9 HD widescreen preset!
Anyone else doing this and got a solution to my problem and can help with custom project sizes in motion and FCP 7!

1024x768 is 4x3. 2048x1536 is 4x3. Both of these are current display dimensions for iPads 1-3.
HD video (1920x1080 or 1280x720) is a 16x9 aspect ratio.
Try putting a rectangle in a square. Unless you scale the retangle up and lose image on the sides you will not be able to properly fill the entire 4x3 display area. The easy compromise is letterboxing to ensure all of the rectangle is display in the square. The iPad is doing this with very little effort on your part.
In FC you can create a new sequence and go into the settings and customize it to 1024x768, 2048x1536 or
just about any other dimension. Even If you create a custom sequence at 1024 or 2048 in FC you will see the same results that the iPad is giving you with much less effort, render and conversion time (presuming your keynote workspace cannot change in dimensions or aspect ratio and you are unwilling to crop your 16x9 aspect ratio video to fill the space.)

Best Slide Size for SlideShow

I am preparing a slide show to be presented on a large screen television set. A 50 incher.
What would be the ideal size for my slides to be sized before I add them to the iDVD slide show board? Better to save them as pdf files or simple jpeg images?
I tried to look this information up on the iDVD help menu on my computer but the help function does not work. Thanks.

Optimum Photo/Slide Size for Podcast

Hello,
Would anyone know the optimum size for a slide from Keynote, to be exported to iPhoto, so it will fit in the pre-determined size for a podcast in GarageBand? My photos from Keynote slides are large, so I have to adjust their size in GarageBand. This leaves a black top and bottom to each photo in the finished podcast, kind of like watching a cinema film. Would it be 300x300?
Thanks,
Angelo

Hi Angelo-
Would't it be nice to use all the real estate of an iPod screen and have images 400x300, the dimensions of a Keynote slide? Garageband doesn't allow that currently, but if we let Apple know we would like it a software engineer should be able to easily add it. 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!

Converting Frame Size for Final Cut

I have XDCAM HD .mov files that are 1440x1080, which I converted through Streamclip to 1920x1080. And 2 problems arose:
1) the 1st time I imported them in the Project I had the right Frame Size : 1920x1080, but the wrong Pixel Aspect : HD (1440x1080) instead of Square.
2) the 2nd time I looked for an Option in Streamclip to select the Pixel Aspect, but there is none. I imported the 1920x1080 files into the project, and they appeared as 1440x1080 files!!!
I also tried creating a sequence with the desired specs (Frame Size and Pixel Aspect) and said NO when asked to conform the Sequence to the Clip. It worked but the RED Rendering will take forever.
Do you have a better solution?
Could the problem be my Version 6 Final Cut? Or am I missing something? I would be most grateful for any suggestion.

If you have iTunes 9 or higher, go to +iTunes > Preferences > General+. Under 'When inserting a CD' select any one of the three import options. Then click +Import Settings > Import Using > AIFF Encoder.+ In the same panel, click +Setting > Custom.+ Select +Sample Rate = 48Khz, Sample Size = 16 bit, Channels = Stereo.+ Then click +OK, OK, OK.+
Then in your Library, select the song you want to convert. Then do +Advanced > Create AIFF Version.+ iTunes will make a copy of the song & convert it to AIFF.

Optimize Slide size for McBook display. Is 1280x792 the perfect format?

Using any of the proposed format in Keynotes 09 will leave you a dark bar on both left and right side. Hence I've changed the slide setting to 1280x792 and it really fits nicely on the screen for any display.
Haven't tried yet with a video projector or on printed material, yet I'm assuming people who will use the presentation will just view it on their laptop.
Have anyone of you tried this as well. Any experience to share? Thanks

". A dedicated removeable rechargeable battery (not AA/AAA) When MP3 players have a dedicated, non-standard rechargeable battery, the MP3 player also doubles as the battery charger. I don't want to use rechargeable AA/AAA batteries, because unless the MP3 player has a built-in AA/AAA charger (I highly highly doubt any MP3 player charges standard batteries), I'd have to be lugging around either a bunch of batteries or a AA/AAA battery charger. And that kills the point of being portable. "
AA and AAA rechargeables are great. One can usually charge up to four at a time with most chargers, and chargers that take an hour or less are available(the 5 minute chargers require special batteries and put excessi've strain on the batteries). They are also very inexpensi've. Carrying a few spares is no big deal. I have small plastic cases that were specifically made to hold 2 AA or AAA batteries and other cases specifically designed for 4 of them. I would hate to have to swap out the player battery, swap in the spare then plug the player in just to charge spares one at a time. Proprietary batteries are expensi've, while AA or AAA nimh rechargeables are often around $0 or so for 4(for the higher capacity ones. Slightly lower capacity ones are even cheaper).

"8. A Built-In USB Port The only two players that I have seen like this are the iPod Shuffle and the Zen Nano/Nano Plus. This is a great benefit to me in the fact that I don't need any cables or anything. Literally nothing else. Just the player itself. All I have to do is plug it in and that's it. No carrying around anything else if I want music from someone's computer. So easy and convenient...."
I prefer having a smaller player that uses a cable to connect.

Best slide size for displaying on ipad?

What size of slide should I be creating on my MacBook for displaying on the iPad?

From the Apple website, the iPad screen is 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi), so I would guess the default size of 1024 x 768 would be the best. However I don't have an iPad and have never used one, so you may want to ask in the community dedicated to iWork for iOS.

Convert Document Size for iPad

We have a 220 page catalog that was set up for a 8-in x 11-in print publication. We are now needing to create a digital publication for an iPad of the same document. The easiest way would be to resize the document and now scale up the text and images to make them fit better. After we resize to the new document, we select all the pages and attempt to use the liquid layout to rescale the images and text. The issue is that it will only rescale one page and not the entire catalog. Is there a way to do this so all pages are rescaled uniformly?

We diid but that resizes the document page but does not affect the copy and images.

Super wide slide size to optimize screen resolution to Barco Encore

Trying to wrap my mind around choosing the right slide size for a 5.6666:1 aspect slide to display on two 4:3 and one middle 3:1 screens continuously. The last show, we were limited to a resolution to the Encore board of 1600x1200 so with a slide so wide, our vertical resolution was quite small (282 px) and text was becoming fuzzy. Normally, we can do 1920x1080 or 2048x1080 but the Encore was having trouble acquiring the signal higher than 1600x1200.
This superwide is new to me, normally I do 3:1 on one mac and 4:3 on another and things are great. It would be great to have the option of building one large slide to have the option of flying things across all screens for big openers or being able to put different things on the outboard screens without running a third mac. I made a test slide with pngs, photo jpeg, ai logo file and text in several fonts and sizes. Only the text seems to be having quality issues (stairstepping on curves and white fuzz around edges), even at large sizes (48px).
Anyone have any ideas to get the best quality for text? I tried Helvetica, Palatino and Trebuchet.
I realize that this is a pretty specialized question but maybe someone else does superwides.

Hi there
Many authors settle on 800x600. Keep in mind, however, that you also have the option of presenting the TOC as an overlay.

What Keynote slide size should I set up for a 60" screen?

Dear everyone,
I'm trying to find out what slide size I should setup in Keynote, for a presentation which will be played on four 60" flat screen TV's for a conference.
Thanks in advance for your precious help!

you should set the slide size to the pixel dimentions of the display you will present on:
Keynote > inspector > document tab > slide size:

How do i change the amount of time for slides in a keynote presentation so they are not the same

how do i vary the times for the slides in a keynote presentation, i have 3 videos i need to run longer and the slides I want to run the same

Is this for an unattended presentation?
1. If not, the option would seem to be:
Manually advance the slides containing the videos or
set the transition delay time to the next slide to occur after the video completes using the
Slide > Transition Inspector > Delay (max delay is 600 seconds so if video is longer than 10 minutes, an automatic delay wouldn't work)
2. If you plan this to be unattended your best bet is to compile it in iMovie and have a looping video with all parts timed in the video to your liking.

As PowerPoint it a Microsoft product, you may find that you get better answers to your question on their PowerPoint forums.
Best of luck.

Is this posable ??
Thanks Craig

After posting over 300 questions I would think you would be passed the "New to Java TechnologY" stage.
The answer for Swing applications is yes this can be done.
I don't know how to do it for AWT components.
Since you posted the question in this forum (as oppose to the Swing forum for Swing related problems), I'm assuming this is an AWT related question and therefore I can't help you.
