Editing narration for a presentation

Preparing 30 min presnttn. Pre-recorded 5 min naratn, placed in audio wndw. Now, I'm editing transitions/builds to fit naratn and have to start over every time I want to review results. (very tedious) Sound track starts _from the beginning_ even if I click "play" starting at slide 10. Any work arounds?

thanks for the help.
finally, I pretty much got what I wanted.
I had trouble because I have a color underneath everything (the whole design) and that's what was the problem.
without knowing any of this, would I hide that background color from certain objects by a mask? It sounds that way.
Also, if I wanted to put this pattern that I made on a diagonal, would I rotate it just like I scaled it? I did scale it along the way.
that's where the "~" came in. I got that to work of course by caps lock.
when I tried what you suggested, changing the fill color in the appearance panel, I was not able to move it behind the pattern. I could not find it in the layers. By the way it was a group, maybe that's why it was difficult to find. In terms or moving it, I'm assuming I would do that in the layers panel? If I could find where it is.
sorry for the crazyness, I don't know how you get through learning this with out it.

Issue with voice over narration for a presentation

When I record a voice over narration (Keynote 09) and then play back - the slides do not always play back with the sound. It seems to be an issue with slides using a build-up ... although it finishes - it then sticks and the sound for the next slide carries on out of sync to the visual - EG - every time I try it happens on the same slides - A good example is one that is followed by a .mov built into a slide. The sound track runs before the new slide image appears - Also I have problems with the movie - as the sound from the .mov file does not come through, so I have to record the movie sound on the narration rack .. confused!?

It sounds like you are making too many assumptions and not actually testing anything.
For instance, emoji may not cause issues for other contacts (maybe it is and you don't know it) but if I were testing this issue, the first thing I would do is remove the emoji from the contact info.
Next thing I would do is make a fake contact called "Home Other". And see if the Voice Control asks you to pick between Home and Home Other
Another thing I would do is add multiple numbers for your home contact (real or fake) And see if you can get the Voice control to find the contact and ask you what number you want to pick. (home or mobile)
And last thought that I had....You mentioned that the Voice Control dials a random person every time, but how random is it really? Are you sure that part of these people's names don't phonetically sound similar to the word Home?

Best Way to Record Narration for Slides

I'm new to Keynote.
1. I have created a 20 slide presentation.
2. I have recorded a 5-minute narration for the presentation in Garage Band.
What is my best option to put the two elements (slide show and audio) together so they sync perfectly? I'd like the end result to be a flash file that I can upload to YouTube and embed on my website.
Here are a couple possible work flows I thought may work. Am I on the right path? What would you suggest?
A. Cut my audio into 20 files and add those files to the individual Keynote pages. Then somehow turn the Keynote with the 20 audio files into a flash file.
B. Wait until Camtasia for Mac comes out next week. Then, add my audio track, import the Keynote slides (if possible), and tweak the timing in Camtasia so that the slide show and narration match up.
What do you think? Would either of these work? Am I forgetting some other obvious solution that would be easier? Thanks.

I have no experience with Flash or Camtasia, but I have used iMovie to create QuickTime slideshows that are suitable for most websites. This may be another option for you.
It's easy in iMovie to match up narration or music, or both, with individual slides, apply various effects and transitions, and export the results in formats for DVDs or websites. I have not tried importing an entire Keynote presentation into iMovie and do not know if that's possible. Keynote offers title and transition features that iMovie lacks; so the choices you make really depend on your end goals, which will determine which tools are best to get there.

Hello friends recently shifted from windows to mac need some suggestion on which software to go ahead with for editing, excel,power point presentation

Hello friends recently shifted from windows to mac need some suggestion on which software to go ahead with for creating word editing, excel,power point presentation.

Only Microsoft's Office for Mac 2011 14.4.8 will work on your Windows Office files in their native document format. Anything else, and particularly Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will perform translation on open, and export. This can, and will, introduce differences to your original documents, especially when sharing with others in the Windows Office 2010/2013 applications.
Here is my short list.
Office for Mac 2011 v14.4.8
LibreOffice (latest)
The current iterations of Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are not what I would term business/professional grade applications. Apple updates them infrequently, ignores user friendly features, omits others, and has introduced default backwards incompatibility between Yosemite and prior OS X releases of these applications. Read the reviews in the OS X App Store. Even for free with a recent Mac purchase, these products will transform your mood.
The free LibreOffice is aggressively developed and designed as an MS Office replacement suite. There are occasions where it can open documents that Office for Mac, and Apple's products ignore. Extensive PDF manuals for the individual applications. Unlike Word, you can have two-up page viewing with a button click, or edit multi-page PDF. There is a forms designer. It can open nearly any document including MS Publisher and Visio documents from the Windows space. I use it.
MS Office 2015 Preview for Yosemite is available, but as its title would suggest, it is not done yet, and some features are missing. I created a single-page Word document with a DRAFT watermark. Only LibreOffice v4.4.1 was able to open this document and preserve the watermark.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
How did you save your Timeline content which included the narration clip produced with the project's Narration Tool?
Publish+Share/Computer/ and then what? And, what preset? And, for that preset, did you use the default settings of the preset
or did you customize the preset under its Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
What other audio was in the project - any on Audio 1 or Soundtrack? Did you get involved with Smart Mix at all?
Let us start here. We will be watching for your follow up.
Thank you.

Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

Can Keynote 3 record narration for slides (like PowerPoint)?

Does anyone know if it's possible to record narration for selected slides in Keynote 3? Unfortunately, this much-desired feature was lacking in Keynote 2 (it could only play one audio file through the entire presentation). FYI, PowerPoint has this feature already, but it is then limited by an inability to export to Flash or QuickTime... Thanks!

Thanks, nanotechmama! On your lead, I looked up the User's Guide and found this additional clarification:
"Adding Narration and Other Audio
You can add music—a file or playlist from your iTunes music library, or any other sound file—to a Keynote document. You can add sound as a soundtrack for the entire slideshow, or you can add sound to a single slide.
If you add a soundtrack, the music starts playing when the slideshow starts. You can specify whether to play the audio once or repeatedly (or you can turn it off ).
If you add a sound file to an individual slide, the sound plays when the slide appears and stops when you move to the next slide. You could, for example, record narration for each slide as an MP3 file; this technique is especially useful if you plan to export the slideshow as a self-playing QuickTime movie. (For more information, see “PowerPoint” on page 167.)
Note: To make sure that the audio plays on other computers, “Copy audio and movies into document” must be selected in the expanded Save dialog. This option is on by default."
So it looks like it might be possible to add a different narration file to each slide. I've therefore ordered a copy of Keynote 3, and I'll confirm in a week or so (once I receive it) whether this is indeed so.

Replace Default "New" / "Edit" Forms for Custom List

Having created a web page that is just simple HTML with JScript to bring it "to life" in SharePoint designer, how can I cause SharePoint 2010 to present this page for the "New" action? Or for the "Edit" action?
This page is not associated with the Master Page/Content paradigm. It is at WebSite/Lists/TheTargetList/TheTargetForm.aspx
When I show the list properties tab for this list in Designer, and go to the "Forms" section (subtitled "Forms are used to display and edit data contained within this list"), and click the "New..." button at the right of
that section's title bar and fill in the Title with the title of my file, I cannot add the file. (The bread crumbs at the top say "Site > Lists and Libraries > ListName > ")
Alternately, I go to the bottom of the tab's page, and select the link "Item" under Content Types (the choices being "Item" and "Folder").
Then the bread crumbs say "Site > Lists and Libraries > ListName > Content Types > Item >"
In the "Forms" section, I try to put the fully qualified name of the page I have created (my ..aspx file) in the "New Form:" or "Edit Form:" areas, after having clicked the "<click to enter text>" links.
This lets me save that change, but destroys the web site's ability to show anything when I try to go to New or Edit — essentially "File not found." The same if I provide only the file name,
not fully qualified.
So, if I have "Site/Lists/List/XYZ.aspx," and if that file is like:
<html>
<head>
<script> . . . </script>
</head>
<body> . . . <br /> . . . </body>
</html>
How can I get this file to be opened as the "New" or "Edit" form for the list?

Hi BrianWren ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to present a web page as the New Form page.
For achieving your demand, you need to create custom form using Visual Studio instead of SharePoint Designer.
Here is a good blog you can have a look:

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?

Best way to record narration for 200+ slideshow?

Hi All,
I've got a long narrative to record to a complex slideshow of over 200 slides with transitions.
What are your suggestions?
If it's done in Screenflow- is there a loss of resolution/ quality? Another alternative I thought of was recording the narrative for each slide in Audacity and then attaching it to each slide.
I want to export the whole to Quicktime/ Flash when done.
System: Macbook 2.16GHz running 10.5.3 and iWork08.
Cheers

<<I guess I could time the narration for each bullet point (build) on the slide, and then manually set the build time accordingly.>>
That's about it. Setting an appropriate Delay for automatic Builds is what I had in mind. However, it is important to remember that this often will "slip" slightly during playback - especially if the presentation is designed on one computer and played on another because the playback speed (duration) of all Builds and Transitions is dependent on the processor speed of the playback computer.
It is not a perfect solution, but until Apple fixes all of the various audio deficiencies in Keynote, we will have to live with the various work-arounds that are proposed in this forum.
Good luck.

I am considering using I Pad for a presentation and want to use it in a wireless environment and though a projector not a TV monitor. Can I use Apple TV and apple wireless base,

I am considering using I PAD for a presentation using a projector. How can this be done. will Apple TV connect to a projector and if so does the projector have to have an HDMI slot or is there some sort of adapter to convert VGA slot so it connects with Apple TV. I also want to do it wirelessly so does the Apple wireless device work for this purpose, is so what do I need to connect that to the Apple TV and to projector. So, ideally I want to be able to operate the IPAD without it being connected to cables and have the image procted on screen using a projector which only has the VGA slot not an HDMI slot. any suggestions will be appreciated.

It can use Apple Tv, but will require a wireless network as well. The Apple TV has an HDMI output, and depending on the projector it may connect directly to it through HDMI.
There are adpaters out there that will convert from HDMI to several other types such as VGA or Composite oir RGB. It would not be directly an Apple product as it would work with the HDMI cable rather than the apple TV or iPad directly.
Basically your setup should be:
iPad -> Wifi Network -> Apple TV-- HDMI Cable-->Adapter---->Projector
If the iPad is iPad 2 or above you can mirror the entire display to the projector through the apple Tv.
The Adapter would be something like this for instance:
http://www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-HDMI-Composite-S-Video-Converter/dp/B0047PDBP0
Or this:
http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Component-Converter-Support-Surround/dp/B004F9XVBC
With that said there are projectors that can be used wirelessly from the ipad without the need for Apple Tv or any adapter.
Epson makes one and a proprietary App to use it.

Want to use ipad for wireless presentations

want to use ipad2 for wirelee presentation on a 16:9 screen but if using apple tv the icon screen does not stretch to fill while video still fills the screen. can i get both to fill the screen? Or is there a way of using a 2nd ipad as a mirror and cable connecting it ?

I just downloaded Pocket Light Meter. After I turn on the additional settings, I can see foot candles , however when I compare it to my actual light meter to check the validity of the Pocket Light Meter, they are way off. Any idea how to calibrate it or to check if possibly I am doing something wrong??
