Exporting white boxes from Keynote

Hi all, I've used Keynote before to create 3D graphs and exported them as Quicktime files to be used in video projects. I would then import them into Motion or Final Cut. However, today, all I am getting is white boxes where my graphs should be. I even went back to a previous project that has worked when it was created and now have the same white box results.
Any advice?

I had this problem and after spending 1.5 hours with tech support everyone was stumped... I tried everything including reinstalling os10..
My last resort was the solution. I turned off the dedicated video ram on my mac book pro (energy saver in preferences then click better battery). this turns off the discrete graphics and did the trick for me.

Exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks

exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks
anyone have any ideas why it doesn't export the hyperlinks to the PDF?
i only have PDF reader on my machine, not the full PDF creator

Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

No more alpha in exported QuickTime movie from Keynote '09

Hello
In Keynote '08, I create a slide with no background (None).
I add some text with some fancy text IN and OUT features.
I export using the Animation codec and the transparency option.
When I reimport the movie in another Keynote '08 file, it inherits the transparency of the imported file and thus everything is perfectly blended.
In Keynote '09 it is not possible anymore.
Even if I import an exported QuickTime movie from Motion with a transparent background, it is not possible to have a perfect blend, all layers are opaque.
Last but not the least, adding transparent files on top of each other in QuickTime player does not preserve transparency despite the fact that the Animation + transparency features are added in the files.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Gary - first off, thanks for your reply! I am currently forcing spotlight to re-index to see if that might help me out. After that I will try your suggestion and run a system software check.
I need a ProRes export as this is going to be combined with IMAG footage from a live presentation as well as additional video from an Arri Alexa. I want to preserve as much quality as possible so that there isn't a discrepancy in the final edit. Originally, I was rendering a small test to the desktop to gauge output quality of animations etc. I did go ahead and re-export a second time to an external drive, but it doesn't seem to matter as Keynote appears to initially render everything to the startup drive no matter what. The second export still ate about 15 gigs from my startup disk and I am unable to find any sort of temp files anywhere!
I am showing all files in Finder and searching around the ~/private/tmp folders to no avail. In the image below there appears to be a discrepancy in the size being reported by finder and the size I'm seeing listed in terminal...

White Boxes from EPS Not Showing Up in INDD CS5

this is kind of lame, but I'm still curious...
I have an Illustrator eps file (CS4) that had black and white shapes, text, etc (very simple), however when I placed the eps file into InDesign (CS5), the white box did not show up. There is a black stroke around the box that appears, however the white does not appear. I went back and drew a new white box, resaved it and the new white box appeared. Any idea why the original file would not have come through properly?
(PS...I'm using Windows)
Thanks!

White set to overprint?
And stop using EPS...it's an archaic file format. Use native AI or PDF from Illustrator for best results.

Why does illustrator create white boxes from shadows when imported into indesign

When a logo created in illustrator cs4 has either shadows applied or gaussian blurs applied on letter shapes and is then put into a frame/picture box in indesign with a coloured background, it brings in white boxes. It does not happen in illustrator when a coloured box is placed on a layer down. If anyone has come across the same problem or knows why it's happening, please let me know. pic attached
Many Thanks
Bruce

look at post 6 which says
Your transparency blend space needs to match you output color space.
To simplify it for now, if you are outputting to a RGB device, change your color mode to RGB before printing. Undo back to cmyk to continue working on the document.
Does this solve your issue?

Dropshadows with white box from logo created illustrator EPS, HELP?

Does anyone know the best way to keep a dropshadow we created in illustrator for a logo? we have tried a photoshop transparent file, the element created in illustrator (in this case an oval with a blur) and everytime we place in InDesign, we get a white box, frustrating!!!!

By vendor, do you mean the printer? or the client?
If the client:
1) Politely say No.
2) Then explain to them patiently, like to a child how 2+2=4, that EPS is not a valid nor modern file format to use with InDesign and that you are the expert and are being paid for you expertise in such technical design matters.
3) Otherwise, you take no responsiblity for the output and will have them sign off on that fact to cover your ***.
The client, in my experience, only wants a product that meets or exceeds their expectations. They don't have to know how you did it.
If a printer:
1) get him/her to explain why or how it must be EPS in a InDesign workflow. Then if not satisfied with their explanation...
2) get another printer who is working in the 21st century.

How to Remove the White Box from Links

How to remove the white box around a link?
I want to put links in my colored footer but it leaves a white box behind the link...
Just want a text link with no background color.
Thanks!

Check your style sheets. Something is giving a link a background color. Look for something like this:
.myClass a {
background-color: #FFFF
Then remove it.

Exporting as PDF from Keynote type problem

Hi,
I'm trying to export a Keynote presentation as a PDF for a client leave-behind, and the PDF is not showing all fonts correctly. Some slides have simple text boxes that Adobe Reader and Acrobat render as complete gibberish. Other screens have Numbers spreadsheets that I exported successfully as PDFs (that render fine separately), but when the PDF is dropped into a keynote slide and then exported again as a PDF of the whole presentation, they turn into an unreadable mess.
I have seen error messages upon opening the PDF in Acrobat like this:
'Cannot extract the embedded font 'DKUXBZ+MyriadPro-It'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.'
But I don't know what 'DKUXBZ+' means. My Myrad Pro works fine in all my other applications.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
D

I would guess that you have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.7. If so there is a bug which affects PostScript OpenType fonts like Myriad Pro Italic.
You can read about the problem here:
http://www.tidbits.com/article/12078
The solution is to use a different (non-OpenType) font or revert to 10.6.6.

How can I export a slide from Keynote to iMovie HD?

I've tried to export a slide with animation into iMovie HD. The settings I'm using are 320x200, frame rate: 30 fps, Progressive, 16x9, Data Rate: Automatic. When I export and import into iMovie Hd the resolution is blurry and grainy.
I initially tried to build a title sequence in Keynote. The title sequense transitioned into a quicktime movie clip, transitioned into a title sequence. The audio portion worked to time but the video output was increased by :30 seconds and was out of sequence. I played with the settings and deleted the preference plist for iWork, but the timing never worked in Keynote.
The timing works in iMovie Hd, but I the titles are grainey and poor resolution.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff

The source is DV 16:9. I've adjusted the resolution to 360:202 and compressed with Sorenson to a QT 512 streaming clip. The resolution is very good and I don't have any issues with the video. I've imported the video clip into Keynote and assembled the title sequence. It looks good with no blurring or choppiness. The problem comes when I export. The timing goes off and the length of the entire video clip is increased. I've also had problems with Keynote when exporting. It seems to be inconsistent and will drop the last title, even though the preview worked fine. I've worked around the problem by importing the title slides with out the transitions and then going into Final Cut. I'd like to keep the title transitions that I had in Keynote . Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff

Exporting to flash from keynote.

Am I able to export a keynote presentation to flash then add the flash file to my iweb .mac site? Like moving words etc...?
Thanks,
Andrew.

You can export to flash, but getting that file into your iWeb page would require editing the HTML after export.

I get poor picture quality when I export my slides from keynote as jpeg and print them as a photo, any help?

I made a slide of multiple pics and objects, I am trying to export it to an 8x10 photo, the shop I am using only allows jpeg. The quality is so poor when I print it, is there a way to get better quality as I export it? I used keynote because I could set up a custom slide size (8x10) and then added the pics and other graphics in hope I could export as a jpeg and get a good quality photo? The photo images and slides are good quality it is the exporting where I am loosing clarity.
Ugh any help?

Can I use applescript to export a PDF file from keynote?

I use keynote to create documentation. Once complete I export the keynote to a PDF and then package the pdf into an adobe acrobat reader portfolio. I desperately need to script this process. Is it possible to export a PDF from keynote via applescript? The second 1/2 is can I tell acrobat reader to import files into a portfolio. Thanks much for any help.

I believe this is one of the few things Applescript can accomplish with Keynote '09. You can send keyboard short-cuts to Menu Commands in an Applescript – so you can just send a Cmd-P to KN'09. As for setting the Print/PDF options not sure but the dialogue remembers previous settings so you'd only have to set once at most per batch of slideshows. Post on Applescript thread to get specific scripting advice or Applescript developers email list.

Export ok from Keynote 08 but file wint open i PowerPoint 08?

Hi,
I am having problems after exporting a presentation from Keynote 08 (4.0.3)to a PowerPointfile (Office 08 fully patched). The file exports ok but wont open in PowerPoint?
Its about 50 slides and a mix of pictures and text. Is it possible to run any kind of transformation from older Keynote presentations to newer versions of Keynote.

Gee, an effectively superior Apple product ceases to work on a new version of M$ Offal. Surprise! I suppose the best solution is to just drop back and do all of your presentations in piece-of-cake-PowerPoint 2008. And you might just as well get rid of Pages & Numbers, too since there'll be problems of transfer with those, also. Maybe they'll apply one of the millions of exquisite "patches" that they're so good at. It's all Apple's fault for doing things too well.
Actually, your question was whether one could transfer from older Keynote (version?) to newer (version?) Keynote. Did you mean Keynote to Keynote, or, as an earlier reply mentioned, Keynote to earlier PP? Could you clarify?
Can't you just use your Mac and be done with it? If not, I'd personally just use Office 2001 while gritting my teeth and resist the big MS gorilla.

Transfer from keynote to ppt

I received a keynote presentation and would like to tranfer it to powerpoint. Draging from Knote to ppt does not work

OK, ..."export to ppt" from Keynote on my own Mac, ...load that onto a PC, ...fix it on the PC using its version of ppt, ...and standard fonts, ...convert MOV movies to WMV so ppt can use the movies, ...insert the wmv's into ppt on the PC, ...
Assume the City laptop has an older version of ppt so the movies (in wmv) are put into the same folder on the thumb drive, so the City's laptop will link the movies to the ppt presentation? Will the City's PC be able to link the two?
I'm a Mac guy, an architect. I've never looked at Bootcamp, nor at VMWware Fusion. I suppose you're recommending that I get those?
There are some free conversion sites online. I just converted an mov to a wmv using: http://www16.online-convert.com/init-video-conversion , ...unfortunately only the audio came through, in a much smaller file.
ZAMZAR is another conversion site. I tried them yesterday and I think the movie conversion worked, though the ppt work I tried, ...didn't. Must try again, using somebody's PC and ppt, as you say.
This is such an unnecessary trial, ...not to mention waste of time. Twenty hours or more, wasted due to an obsolete City policy. Such dummies down there.
I've used the Office for Mac Suite a bit, mostly Word to open documents sent by others, and was hoping 2011 would "export" to a useful file.
