Editing a slide via timeline

Is there a function that allows you to advance through the actions of a single slide in the edit window?
Say i have a keynote presentation with my text that is centered and then moves to the corner of the screen. I want this text to stay in the corner for the entire presentation. So when I create the next slide i have to re-create this text again and put it in the corner so that it matches the text from the previous slide. How I do that now, is to first guess where i think it should go and how big it should be on the second slide, then play the show to see how it looks. Adjust, then play again... it bothers me to have watch all the way through my first slide just to see if it matches the second... again... and again... this could easily be solved if there was a "timeline" like slider/bar in the bottom of the edit window when I create the slide to begin with. i could advance to the end of my text action on the first slide, then bounce back and forth "quickly" between slides one and two to match them up.
This would also be handy when there are multiple text boxes on top of each other on one slide. They are hard to read in the edit window and impossible to edit. but if you could advance through them in the edit window to check for spelling errors whatever that would be awesome.
so is there such a feature in keynote?
sorry for the long post... thanks for the help!

You have a couple of options.
1) Create a slide that has the corner text where you want it and duplicate it a bunch of times. Then make whatever other changes you need to make to those slides. Probably a good idea to keep one "clean" one in case you don't duplicate enough the first time.
2) Create a new master that includes that corner text. Search your iWork help for more information on editing slide masters.
I have used both of these options and either one will work for you.
Hope this helps!

In the slide show timeline, how do I select a photo to crop?

In the slide show timeline, how do I select a photo to crop? Sometimes it lets me do it and sometimes I can't select the photo to do it. I'm not sure why the difference.

It's version 3.4.2, the latest. I can double click it, but then I'm out of the slideshow timeline and it's a hassle to quickly go back. I have to click on another place in my library and then go back to the slideshow and find my place in the timeline where I was. Many clicks. I just want to edit (enlarge and move the photo) in the timeline. Sometimes it works, but sometimes I can't get it to. Not sure if there's a "sweet" spot to click on for the photo in the timeline or what that I'm missing at times.

Personalized Template, can't edit added slides, only edit master slide

Hello Keynote Geeks!
I am counting on your expertise to help me with this challenge.
This is what happened:
1) I had a design company to create a personalized presentation template for my production company.
2) Whenever I try to use this template Keynote keeps insisting on only allowing me to edit master slides. Even after I added them to the presentation. This creates a dumb workflow in which I have to be duplicating master slides, editing them in the edit master slide menu and then adding them back to my presentation.
I recorded a 2 minutes screen flow video demonstrating the issue. Please watch it on this Vimeo link:
https://vimeo.com/124934712
I will be incredibly thankful to anyone that gives me a smart solution to optimize our presentation edit workflow.
Cheers from Brazil,
JP Jacobsen

A "geek" means a clumsy fool, I would never call anyone this.
You are not using the correct method to edit items on a slide. Double clicking an object on a slide that is on the slide master allows editing the master object, it does not allow editing the object on the slide.
The correct procedure is:
add a new silide based on a slide master of your choise
to add a photo to the slide;   use a Finder window to drag and drop a file onto the image place holder
to add new text to a slide; click on the text placeholder once, then type in the new text
This assumes the master slide was created correctly by using media and text Placeholders.
To add a text placeholder to a master slide: add a text box to the master then change the font, size and colour
select the text box then:     Format > Advanced > Define as text placeholder
To add a Media Placeholder to a master slide: drag and drop any image file of the correct format (vertical or horizontal) on to the master
select the photo then:     Format > Advanced > Define as Media placeholder
close the master slide by clicking the blue Done button bottom right

Simple way to use the Photo Gallery Module and flexslider to create an editable image slider?

I want to offer an image slider that my clients can easily update themselves through the Admin. Ive researched it alot and I know it can be done using web apps but does my cliently seriously need to pay over $400 a year for the webcommerce option just to have an updatable image slider?? I find that unrealistic. Does anyone know how to set this up using the photo gallery module and "flexslider" so clients on the business marketing plan can have access to a simple and clean editable image slider?
Any BC experts that can help would be greatly appreicated!
Thankyou

Not an expert, but I think what you're looking for is a slider that can get its list of photos from an XML file. The Photo Gallery module can produce an XML file.

Timeline editing jerkiness - waiting for timeline

This has always bothered me with PE but now I am editing a 4-camera timeline, and waiting for all the little timeline "frame images" to fill in every time I scroll or resize the timeline is killing me.
Who knows how to disable the little frame pictures from having to fill back into the timeline, every time you scroll or resize? I have to wait almost 20 seconds each time, no kidding.
Why can't it work like Pro where it just shows the colored timeline, not all the little stupid frame pictures
Thanks in advance if threre is a solution

If what you're talking about is what I think you're talking about, there's a little filmstrip-looking icon to the far left - by the text/label that says "Video 1".
Clicking that icon cycles through a) timeline with snapshots along the entire clip, b) timeline with snapshots only at the beginning and end of each clip, and c) snapshot at only the beginning.

Editing a slide DURING presentation

Hello,
I am wondering whether editing a slide while presenting it on the second monitor is possible.
This would be great for brainstorming ideas (eg. fill a table with ideas on several issues, according to the audience's feedback).
I tired several times, but it didn't work. Sure Live Quartz technology is powerful enough to do so... so is this feature available ? Is it planned ?

No, you can't edit a slide while it's being displayed, but there are applications that allow you to draw over the slide (those drawings can't be saved in any way other than a screenshot, though*). I think it can be done, but Keynote is more of a straightforward presentation tool than a brainstorming app, so I wouldn't imagine that this is on the list of "things to do".
But, you can always send feedback to Apple
http://www.apple.com/feedback/keynote.html
*speaking of screenshot, if you change the format of the file being captured to PDF, would that separate the image into layers allowing you to see the foreground images OVER the background or is it all flattened into a bitmap?

Edit local policy via powershell

Hi,
i'm searching for a way to edit this policy via powershell :
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials Delegation ->
Allow Delegating Fresh Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
I want to activate it, and put * in value.
I already tried it, but it doesn't work :
$allowed = @('WSMAN/*')
$FreshCredsValueName = "AllowFreshCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly"
$key = 'hklm:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation'
if (!(Test-Path $key)) {
md $key
New-ItemProperty -Path $key -Name $FreshCredsValueName -Value 1 -PropertyType Dword -Force
$subkey = Join-Path $key $FreshCredsValueName
if (!(Test-Path $subkey)) {
md $subkey
$i = 1
$allowed |% {
New-ItemProperty -Path $subkey -Name $i -Value $_ -PropertyType String -Force
$i++
It doesn't work, Powershell generates me an error "The WinRM client cannot process the request. A computer policy does not allow the delegation of the user credentials to the target computer"
My computer is not in domain, but in workgroup and i'm running Windows 7 with Powershell v4.0.
Thanks for your help

This is how i resolved it :

New-Item -Path 'hklm:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation' -Name "AllowFreshCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly" -Value "Default Value" -Force
New-ItemProperty -Path 'hklm:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation\AllowFreshCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly' -Name "1" -PropertyType "String" -Value '*'

Slides via Aperture and Coolscan V ED?

Hiya,
I'd love to digitise my film slides via my Nikon Coolscan V ED. In the past I used the software Nikon Scan for that, but I wonder if it is possible to do an import via Aperture 3, since the last software update for Nikon Scan was released in 2004.
My flatbed scanner shows up as a source, when I open the Import dialog, but the Nikon Coolscan doesn't show up. So I wonder if I have to install some additional (and up-to-date) software?
Did someone succeed in achieving scanning via Aperture in combination with a Nikon Coolscan?
Thanks in advance for any help.
All the best,
Stephan

I've done this exact same thing with the same scanner model. As already suggested, use the Nikon scanning software or VueScan to create TIFF files since only dedicated scanner software is +highly optimized+ for correcting scanning problems (dust, scratches, etc.).
For my project, I spent nearly a week just testing scanner setting to find the optimum settings before choosing a standard to scan the thousands of slides. Settings will vary somewhat based on the quality of the positives you might scan (i.e. Kodak Kodachrome). My scans were output as huge TIFF files, then once I was satisfied with all images, I converted the batch to high quality JPEG images only after no more adjustments were necessary.
Once done with scanning the best you can, Aperture is a great to for making final adjustments and organization. Keep and use the TIFF files if you need them, but Aperture mitigated this need for my purpose.
Be patient. To scan thousands of slides, it literally took months. So if you haven't sorted your slides into the "trash" and "scan" piles, do that first.

Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

T4i... lousy SD video... has anyone used SD and had final edit look ok. on timeline its a disaster.

T4i... lousy SD video... has anyone used SD and had final edit look ok. on timeline its a disaster. cell phone does better video.. im a pro video type and at this point may return cam and wait for a more capable eos.. like a mirrorless 60d...

Speedorms,
I would like to help determine what is causing this.
What exactly are you seeing that is poor quality in the video from your EOS Rebel T4i?
What are you using to edit your video?
What settings are you using to edit the video?
When you refer to SD, are you referring to the card in the camera or Standard Definition video?
If you prefer a mirrorless design, we do have the new EOS M. You may want to take a look at that model to see if it has the features you are looking for.

Two-camera editing via timeline?

I'v filmed a pop group and am now editing the footage. We worked with two camera's and sound was recorded separately with a digital Edirol recorder, plugged into the PA-system. That audio-clip is used as the foundation for my editing. I synchronised it on the timeline with the (uninterupted) video-footage of the A-cam (sound of which is unpatched). Now I want to overwrite some parts of the A-footage by better, more dynamic, shots from the B-cam. Is there a way to just put the footage of the B-cam on another video-track and edit from one timeline-videotrack to another? Or does the cutting of the B-cam footage have to happen in the viewer and then do an overwrite edit to the A-cam track? Putting it in the timeline and editing from there would save a lot of synchronising effort. I hope I express this question clearly enough, English not being my native language...

I'm editing in the timeline, where there are already three audio-tracks (two stereo linked to the video trakc from camera A, and 1 WAV-file from the Edirol digital audio recorder )and one video-track. I try to drag a clip (the B-camera footage) - with no in- or out-points but with sound- from the browser to a new video track. Patch panels for the existing tracks on the timeline are in the 'patched' position.
So far, I edited clips from the two camera's by three-point editing in the canvas overlay (drag to the 'overwrite' panel), but that means I have to synchronise the clip in the viewer first, which is very timeconsuming. I was thinking that, when I could put the entire B-cam clip in a separate videotrack in the timeline, I would only have to synchronise it once, and then edit parts of it into the A-cam track.

Editing the slide background

I have captured an online software demo. After doing so, the
company in which I captured this for has been bought. So here's the
challenge.
Instead of re-capturing the entire process, I was easily able
to simply copy the background slide, put it into photoshop, adjust
the colors (only thing that changed with the new branding) and
paste back in as a new slide background. Tedious, yes...but would
take much less time than recapturing...editing for pace and voice
over.
That worked perfectly except for the slides where there is
typing or a mouse click. It appears that Captivate also catpures
horizontal bitmaps for those actions, which show the 'old' colors.
You can't see these items on the timeline in Captivate, although I
know they exist because I have imprted into flash and seen the
elements.
Does anyone know how to disable these items or edit them so
that I can make it consistent with the color changes?
Thanks in advance.

Hi chrisbk and welcome to our community
aaasdf
For the slides where you have captured typing, have you tried
right clicking the typing layer and DE-selecting the "Show Typing"
element? Maybe that will work. Same with the mouse. Try turning it
off and see what happens.
Here is where I'm going to implore everyone reading this
thread to stop for a moment and flood Adobe with a suggestion. When
you record a movie and have elected to include recording the
typing, you are adding a typing layer to your slide. If you should
make a typo, then backspace over the typo to correct it, guess what
happens? You have no easy way to edit this out. If it's important
to not include the typo, you must re-record that slide. So here is
where you come in.
Currently, Captivate offers us
88 different types of animated text! 88! Think about all the
programming effort it takes to create all 88 of those effects. We
have text swooping in from any direction, all kinds of different
fades, fish nibbling the letters away. Wow. Amazing! Now look at
this list of 88 effects and see what is
extremely useful but woefully missing! An animation of
simple typing text. Geez, how long would it take a developer to do
that? 5 minutes? I mean, for all the coding it takes to give us
fish nibbling away at letters, it really should be a very simple
thing for the developer to do.
So, if you feel so inclined (and I really hope many of you
do) take 5 minutes of your day and submit an enhancement request
asking for a simple typing text animation. If we had this, there
would be no need to re-record slides where we made a typo. We could
actually forego recording that piece at all, then add it later via
a typing text animation.
If you would like to add to the collective voice of others
that would like to see this feature, please consider submitting a

View all slides in timeline with text holding for duration

Hi,
I have been a video editor for 30 years and this is my first time with Flash. I'm trying to make simple 15 second Flash clips for an Infocaster digital signage system but cannot figure out how to put in the advertiser's phone #/website and keep it there for the duration of the three slide run. Also am not able to bring in Photoshop-created files where I've made the white BG transparent in order to make better text. How can I see all three timelines concurrently with the contact info field stretched under all?
Peter B

Hello,
You seem to have two Adobe ID's? But you are the same Peter?
OK, starting to understand. You really need Captivate to produce a SWF in a more easy way than with Flash. And you do not want to do it with Powerpoint (I'm not a PPT-lover either), which could be easily converted to a CP-file and then to SWF.
You were showing sort of a timeline (have you video past in mind), but do know that you do not really have to put everything on one slide in Captivate. To know what is the most easy way, I'll try to summarize in CP-language and have to ask some more questions:
your 'movie' will have a total duration of 15 sec
your 'movie' should start with Title 1, and image 1 in sec. 0:0; title 1 has to stay for 15sec, image 1 disappears after p.e. 5sec
image 2 replaces image 1 after 5 seconds and stays for 5sec
image 3 replaces image 2 after 10 seconds and stays for 5sec
Title 2 appears after p.e. 2 sec, has to be visible for about 10sec
Title 3 appears after 3sec, stays for 3 sec
Title 4 replaces Title 3 when it ends and stays for 6 sec
Title 5 replaces Title 4 when it ends and stays for 3 sec
Created this on 1 slide, you'll find screenshot at the bottom (did use rectangles to replace images, workflow is same). Some tips:
Go to Edit view (top toolbar), there is one slide selected in Filmstrip. Open Properties of the slide (Enter), set Display Time to 15sec
If you do not want any fadings in/out, open Edit, Preferences, go to Project, Start and End, deactivate 'Fade in on First slide' and 'Fade out on last slides' (you'll only have 1 slide)
Insert Title 1 (is called Text Caption in CP) with Insert, Standard Objects, Text Caption (or first icon on vertical toolbar at the left), format it as you wish and set it to display for the duration of the slide (on Options tab of Properties or with CTRL-E after closing Properties, with Title selected).
Insert your first image (I used a first rectangle) with Insert, Image. It will be selected, resize if necessary; open Properties (Enter, while it is selected), go to the Options tab, and under Timing, set it to display for 5 sec. Check the Transition effect and change if wanted.
Insert second image, resize, open Properties, Options, under Timing set it to display after 5 sec and for 5 sec.You could also stretch the time on the Timeline and move the object on the timeline, that is a personal choice.
Think you got the workflow by now? Here is a screenshot of the Options for Title 2:
You can Preview the Project using F4 of F12 (to preview in Browser). Even though you only have 1 slide, do not use the Preview slide, because that way of viewing doesn't compile to a SWF.

Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?
regards,
christian
