Embedding adjustable countdown timer into Keynote Presentation

I want to embed a timer similar to that on the iPhone into a presentation I am making. Please assist me. I am willing to use third party plug-ins etc..if necessary. I need to be able to set the timer! Thanks!

Video is video. You have to use another app to overlay something else. HTML 5, javascript, Flash. Can't be done in AE.

Insert a countdown timer in Keynote?

Hello all,
I'm sure this is an included feature that I just can't find somehow. I would like to insert a countdown timer into a slide. This seems pretty common; I've seen it done a lot. But I just can't find the Insert>timer link, or anything like it. And the iWork help file is forever searching and never going anywhere (second, embedded problem), so I can't search there.
I tried the iPresentee thing, but it didn't download properly. Plus, it seems like a basic feature available for a presenter, especially since there's a timer included in the Presenter view.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

d moon,
Keynote does not provide any countdown timer features. You need to seek third parties for them.
The iPresentee timers are a good start - their website provides a free "goodie" of timers in the form of a Keynote File where many choices of timers are available. Try downloading the file again or contact iPresentee for assistance.
Each Timer is actually a Quicktime video clip. You select the one with the closest time range to your needs, copy it to your presentation and adjust the start point.

Possible to insert a countdown timer into an iMovie clip?

I'm making an exercise video, and I want to insert an occasional small clip with a countdown timer. Ideally, it would be some beautiful nature footage (like waterfalls or wildlife), with a countdown timer in the corner.
Does anydbody know how to insert a countdown timer into an iMovie clip?
For that matter, does anybody know where I could find/purchase 2 minutes of nature footage?

Sure you can. What you need to do is add the initial image to the topic then create an image map. This allows you to define shapes that when the user's mouse hovers over it indicates that there is a hyperlinkto another topic. Just right click on the image, select Insert Image Map and go from there.

Embedding clipped Youtube video into Keynote on iPad?

Is it possible to embed a clipped youtube video into a keynote presentation on the ipad? I know how to do it in Powerpoint, but that doesn't help me as I don't have powerpoint at home and am having to rely on trying to do it with Keynote on my ipad.
Thanks!

Two possibilities I can think of. MAke sure that the side button on your ipad is set to screen lock & not mute. If it is set to mute, you'll need to slide it to unmute it before the speaker will work. Otherwise, it sounds like some kind of software glitch. I'd do a reset (I think you hold down the power button & the button on the top for like 10 seconds, until you get the screen asking if you want to turn your ipad off. Follow through, give it a few seconds, then restart it.

Translating Pages document into Keynote presentation

Hello,
I have been creating a design portfolio as a pages document. A keynote version of some of the completed pages has been made by taking a screenshot and then pasting the images into Keynote. I have also attempted to find a export or conversion command that would take this document from it's Pages format into Keynote with no success.
It would also be nice to be able to select multiple pages (thumbnails) and play them as a slideshow right from Pages (you can do this by selecting multiple picture files with Preview). Is there a way to go from Pages to Keynote without the screenshot technique?
Regards
jemike

Tulse,
Thanks for the quick response. I have saved the document as a PDF and will try the page by page approach.

Embedding a countdown timer, that is linked to real time, into a video

Hey,
I'm trying to figure out how to do something I have never done and got no clue where to start.
What I am trying to accomplish is to make a 10-sec video that has a real time countdown clock to a certain part of the day (Ie: 5 hours and 10 secs left till 8 pm). Designing the clock is simple, what I cannot figure out is what program i should use and how to make it link to real time. Is this possible in after efects or do i need to use flash proffessional or something else. To give you a little bit more information, typicly I design ads that just run on a loop, this ad has to be different because it needs to run in a loop and somehow go and get the countdown according to real time and not just the videos length. (I've heard of somehow making a flash SWF file that either links to computer or RSS file, but I have no idea how to do that in aftereffects.) This is what i can find, but NOT what i want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-ilCXXAQGA&app=desktop I want it to use real time for countdown.
The media player running this 10-sec video ad is apparently compatible with Flash SWF.
Any help is good and if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance .

Changing flash .SWF file into Keynote presentation

Someone please help.. presentation in 8 hours and I want to use Keynote but the presentation is in flash .swf and the directions I got didnt work- they were:
Use Flash MX to save the file as a Flash 5 movie. It should have a filename extension of ".swf". Important: Keynote cannot import native Flash files whose filename extension is ".fla".
In Keynote, Choose Edit > Place > Choose.
Select the file and click Place to insert it into your slide.
I choose edit but theres no option that says place, how do I read my swf file through Keynote?
Thanks everyone!
Daniel

That kind of thing is not done in Fireworks, which is a graphics
application; it should be done in a web page editing program such as
Dreamweaver. Generally, Fireworks HTML is not acceptable for final
production web sites unless you're exporting as CSS and Images, and
even then, it will most likely require tweaking in a web page editor.

Timing a Keynote Presentation

Is there anyway to time a keynote presentation? I have to export my keynote into an Quicktime file & when it is exported it plays the presentation too quickly.

How 'bout Manual Advance? Press the Spacebar or click the mouse to advance to the next slide.
OR - Recorded Timing. If you recorded your slideshow (as described in Recording a Voiceover Narration), your slideshow movie plays using the timing you recorded. You don;t need to actually record your voice ... just "pretend" and advance like you were recording.

Importing eps files into keynote (or pages)

hi,
i'm running keynote 3 and used to have no trouble at all simply dragging (or importing) eps graphic files into keynote presentations. then for no apparent reason i lost the ability to do this and now when i try to import any eps files, keynote just hangs.
can anyone help?

njmitham,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
EPS files are converted to PDF when you drag them to keynote. The same happens when you open the EPS file with Preview.app.
So, try to open the EPS file with Preview and see what happens. It might not be a Keynote problem but a problem with an image library.

Will Motion 5 export movies I can use in Keynote presentations? thank you

I've used previous standalone version of Motion (quite a while ago). Can Motion 5 also export .mov files I can import into Keynote presentation?

If Keynote can import a Quicktime file like h.264 then yes.

How can I embed a song into a keynote presentation?

how can I embed a song into a keynote presentation?

(From Keynote Help)
Adding Sound to an Individual Slide
Sound added to an individual slide plays only on the slide to which it’s been added.
Here are ways to add sound to a slide:
Drag a sound file from the Finder anywhere onto the slide canvas or to a media placeholder.
Click Media in the toolbar, choose iTunes in the Audio pane of the Media Browser, select a playlist, and then drag a file or playlist anywhere onto the slide canvas (including to a media placeholder).
The sound file is represented on the slide canvas by a speaker icon, but this icon doesn’t appear when you play the slideshow.
You can start and stop sound playback at any time while the slide is showing. When you advance to the next slide, the sound playback automatically stops. To control when the music starts and stops, select the sound file icon, and then set playback options and use the Start Audio and Stop Audio effects in the Build Inspector. For more information, see Adjusting Media Playback Settings and Creating Movie Builds.
When you add media files to your slideshow, make sure that they will be available if you transfer your document to another computer. When saving your document, make sure to select “Copy audio and movies into document” in the Save window after you choose Save or Save As. (If you don’t see the option, click the disclosure triangle next to the field, and then click Advanced Options.)
Also note that some media files are protected under copyright law. Some downloaded music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure the computer you’re using has permission to play all the media files included in your slideshow.

Live video from isight embedded into keynote slide

I have been trying to figure out how to embed live video from my isight camera into keynote. I have tried creating a stream from quicktime broadcaster and import the .sbp file into keynote, but it will not except the stream file. I did not know if there was another way to do it besides the stream or if perhaps I could use another program to help input the video.
My ultimate goal is to be able to present slides and have a live video from my isight during the slideshow on one of the slides. I guess if there is some other way to get both the slideshow presentation and video on the presentation screen without any program headings, in a clean fashion, that would be acceptable too; even if a different program was handling the video and it wasn't technically embedded.

Cool, I can see me using this - need to properly test with http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html#upgrade
this allows you to choose video sources to play - so i'm betting it will allow video cameras to be used - so it ought to be possible to do live demos/illustrate slides with 3d objects etc ... cool - suspect voice syncing still might be an issue. And KN record doesn't work properly if you have a live movie - it just shows the camera content that's live ... (if you follow me...)
PS Almost forgot - it will do one of the things I was so desperate to achieve: It would allow you to have a window on the screen with a live feed of a signer for those who use BSL and other sign languages - that's really important. And if you needed to you could use two projectors (see other thread on multiple screens) and put the signer on a nicely designed screen all of their own. WOW!!!

Embed a Prezi Presentation into Keynote

Hey there.
I want to embed an offline Prezi presentation into Keynote. Are there any plug-ins available/on the horizon for this?
I read about the work-around, but I don't want my clients to run the risk of something going wrong and the presentation not working properly. That's the reason I love Keynote, one file and everything works.
Hope you guys can help.
THanks!

There is a way to make it work, it's requires a bit of work though!
Step 1:
Record the Prezi presentation using a screenrecording program (such as iShowU). Just keep pressing the arrow to go to the next slide but leave it at each slide for a couple of seconds. This way each slide will be visible for a couple of seconds before it changes to the next.
Step 2:
Upload your recording to YouTube.com
Step 3:
Download the YouTube video so you can import it into Keynote.
Step 4:
If your Prezi slide has 10 different slides, make 10 slides in Keynote. Import the YouTube video to each slide.
Step 5:
Now comes the tricky part...
Go to the first slide of your Keynote presentation and let the Prezi video play. Write down the time it starts and when the first full slide is visible. Then use Inspector (in Keynote) to let the video play from the time the Prezi video starts until the full slide is visible. This way the video will only play from the start until the full Prezi slide is visible in the video.
Step 6:
Now go to the second slide in Keynote and use Inspector to have to Prezi video start at the same time the Prezi video in the first Keynote slide stops. Let the video play until the second slide is fully visible and then use Inspector to have the video stop at that precise time.
Step 7:
Do the same for Keynote slide number 3; Use Inspector to start the video at the same time the video stopped playing in the previous Keynote slide, and let it play until the full slide is visible.
Example:
Keynote slide 1
The downloaded Prezi video from YouTube plays from 0:00 to 0:20
Keynote slide 2
The downloaded Prezi from YouTube video plays from 0:20 to 0:50
Keynote slide 3
The downloaded Prezi from YouTube video plays from 0:50 to 1:20
All you have to do in Keynote, is make sure the transitions between slides are as fast as possible so you don't see the transition between slides and make sure the video starts playing when you go to the next Keynote slide.
If you've done it correctly, you will start with the first Keynote slide showing the first transition of the Prezi video. Take all the time you want to talk and when you're done, just go to the next Keynote slide. The video will begin to play, showing you the cool effects you can use in Prezi, and when the full slide is visible, you can start talking. Done talking? Go to the next Keynote slide and the video will start to play.... etc etc etc!
Hope this helps!!

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time?

Is there any way to view a keynote presentation and the presenter notes on the iPad at the same time? My professors at school have keynote presentations and i take notes during class with the presenter notes feature. I was wondering if there was any way i can view both of them on the same screen on my iPad while studying? This way I could see their slides along with the notes i take during class.

None that I know of. Suggest to Apple.
Send feedback to Apple.
