Creating 'widescreen' presentation

Hi folks - need a little assistance in regards to setting up my page in Keynote to the size of a widescreen - so when I export as a quicktime my photos I've just arranged it will then be easy to import into my widescreen iMovie...
Thanks in advance for your time.

What are you going to do with the finished product?
If you are going to import into a standard-definition iMovie widescreen project, then your screen dimensions are going to be 854w x 480h.
If you are working in HDV, then your dimensions will be either be 1280w x 720h or 1920w x 1080h
It's kind of important to know where you're going to go with the show, because if you choose a resolution smaller than your final product, you'll lose resolution. Also important is that while video resolutions are 16:9, computer widescreen resolutions aren't always. Apple's current line of laptops, for instance, are 1280w x 800h, 1440w x 900h, and 1680w x 1050h, which are consistently 16:10. So if you are going to display on a widescreen computer, you'll want a 16:10 resolution, but on a video display you'll want 16:9.
Also, if you're going to video, don't forget about the Safe Action Area, allowing for a 10% margin around the active display!

    Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

  • Would iWork be a good tool to create a presentation for CD or DVD?

    I need to create a presentation for a supermarket about their new promotion, but I only have the preinstalled mac software on my Mac Pro, plus I have adobe creative suit and Final cut studio. With the Adobe software which includes: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks and Acrobat, I think I could use dreamweaver or Acrobat to create the presentation in a html or acrobat file, but I wonder if iWork won't be better. What do you normally use for presentations?

    As far as I know, you can't create a slideshow that plays on a dvd player in Photoshop.
    You can do it using Nero (it will create a slideshow for you before burning it onto cd/dvd)  or if you want to make it the way you like it, use Adobe Premiere Pro/Encore CS4.

  • Create a presentation with Dreamweaver..HOW?

    Guys, I know it is feasible, but I'd like your comments and suggestions.
    Today, I'd like to create a presentation that will be given to people on either a cd or s DVD. It is a wedding "Thank you" gift to guests, who came to my wedding.
    I'd like something that they would insert in their computer, that would start automatically, and where they'll a main page (with text) and have a menu to choose from (video clips, and various photo albums).
    Would be nice if it could be working on a dvd player as well.
    I am pretty sure I have to build my main page like a webpage, with links to the various items (photo gallery, video gallery, etc). That I would know as
    I have done numerous websites.
    However, once the site done, what do I do to make the cd/dvd starts itself automatically, and take the people to my main page?
    You see what I want to acheive? Should I use another program?
    I want something really neat for my guests...
    Is it the same to create a dvd with a menu and all?
    If anybody has suggestions, it is more than welcome.
    Thanks

    Using a text editor, like Notepad, open a new file and type the following into the document:
    [AutoRun]
    shellexecute=yourfirstpage.htm
    *yourfirstpage.html being the name of the page you want to open automatically  (usually index,.html)
    Save this file as:  autorun.inf
    into the directory where the index.html is located
    Once you have set up all the relevant files, the same as creating a webpage, burn the lot to a CD and it should autorun.

  • Can I create a presentation in iPhoto that will combine still slides and video?

    I have just returned from a safari and have a lot of pictures and videos from the trip.  I would like to create a presentation/slide show that will show the slides and also videos in the same slide show and allow me to manually pace the show.  I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.

    and allow me to manually pace the show.  I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.
    If you want a native Mac application for your slideshow you could also try Keynote, the Apple alternative to Powerpoint. It will give you similar presentation options.
    Aperture - if you have it - would allow to trim the videos, allow more fine control over how the audio of the clips will be mixed, and still allow to manually pace the slideshow, but it is expensive and will no longer be developed. But if you have compatible versions of Aperture and iPhoto, simple open your iPhoto Library in Aperture: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

  • Can I create multiple presentation templates against one content item?

    I want to create multiple presentation templates that publish the same content item in different ways.
    As far as I can tell from the publisher GUI this is not possible.
    Am I missing something?

    It may not be feasible to have two PT associated with a DT technically. But there is a workaround / solution for your requirement. thats what i meant in my prev post.
    To accomplish your requirement in a simple fashion try doing this
    1) copy the contents of all PT, DT and Content Items with all its folders in the _NEWS (portlet templates) folder to a new folder called 'PortletA' (or) make use of the News portlet template to create a portlet
    2) Now modify the DT's and PT's according to your requirement.
    3) Create a portlet using "Published Content" webservice and configure the 'Main' to your portlet.
    4) if you create and pblish new article, you can find two html's are getting published.
    If this doesn't resolve your requirement,
    Create two sets of Dt & Pt's. In the article PT, try to add the other Pt as "related items to publish", so on publishing one the other one gets published.

  • Scorm Content Not Created in Presenter

    I have some existing content that i would like to run in
    Breeze. When i try to upload the zipped SCORM package, it wont
    recognise the zip, despite zip being an accepted file format. The
    only thing i can see in the guidance that might be an issue is that
    the package files are different and Breeze/Connect requires an
    index.html doc, but this is not how the content is packaged in the
    content i have.
    Has anyone got experience of using content not created using
    Presenter? Will it work?

    Breeze / Connect Training does not support a SCORM package.

  • Creating a presentation

    First time user of iPad and curious where to start to begin creating a presentations.

    You can also look into the premium version of documents to go. That'll get you the ability to make power points and other word documents, along with excel.

    Goto bottom of scren in iTunes there is a section called sharing when it is connected to your computer. The sharing section lists those apps where data/files can be directly imported via syncing. Click on the app you want to transfer and then add the file.

  • Creating a presentation with audio, video, narrative, and slides

    What is the best solution to create a presentation that shows a slide show with background music but also allows for a speaker to show some keynote slides in between. I'm giving a report of a recent mission trip abroad and would like to show pictures of the different regions we visited but also make comments and show slides along the way possibly including some video clips. I heard iDVD is good for the slide show. Any comments??

    Actually it's the other way round. iDVD is primarily for making DVD's. You can make a keynote presentation and export it for iDVD for display on a dvd player.
    Keynote has a range of transitions that determine how you move from one slide to the next. You should download the free trial if you haven't done so already. If you are putting together a presentation you should use keynote as it is primarily designed for presentaions

  • Can't open newly created Keynote Presentation

    I created a presentation in Keynote yesterday, when I try to open it today I get a "Unable to open “Portfolio Samples_1.14” because it isn't a valid Keynote document" message.

    Are you opening the file in the same version of Keynote as you created the original?
    Most users will now have both the previous version 5, and the new version 6.

  • Error while creating Bi presentation service in obiee(11.1.1.3)

    Venky,
    The SOAP interface released with OBIEE 11.1.1.3 is version 6 (v6) as you can see from its WSDL URL.
    This would leave one only to believe that the SOAP interface released with OBIEE 11.1.1.5 is version 7.
