Forms in Keynote

I'm creating a keynote presentation for an interactive Touchscreen kiosk. Is there any way that I could set this up to have some forms in the presentation, the problem is two fold:
- How could I set up forms?
- How do users type in their name on a touchscreen display?

Keynote cannot do forms or collect information on the fly. For that you will need some kind of multimedia application like Flash or Revolution. To do alphanumeric entry, the application would also have to support some sort of touchscreen keyboard.

Import forms in Keynote

I´m a Keynote beginner. Want to create some forms that I want to animate. However, the forms tool in keynote is very "unpricise" for what I want to do. Can I import shapes, forms etc from another program, like Illustrator for example, and animate them i Keynote?
More details: what I want to do is to create a sine wave that I step by step can change in my presentation. (A sine wave is the "shape" of electric energy...).

This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. For you I suggest the Keynote forum or Microsoft Office forums.

Annotating in Keynote while presenting

I am trying to replace the SmartBoard in my classroom with an iPad and an HDTV as the resolution from my projector is poor. The only issue that is inhibiting my switch is the ability to play a keynote presentation and annotate slides as I'm lecturing. Is there anyway to do this in Keynote? Will there be a way in the near future? I would like to be able to do so without exporting into another application, if possible.

No offense, taken although I did say I was a beta tester and there are other apps offering solutions out there.
At the moment the solution I offered works via keynote on the desktop, not on the iPad, so your pickup that KN for iPad and Doceri can't operate simultaneously is true. At the moment apple only offers a rudimentary laser pointer type adjunct on KN for iPad.
I don't know of a markup tool within keynote on the iPad for the OP's solution, so when I say I "do it all the time" I'm referring to annotating desktop Keynote. Sorry if this confused and got people's hopes up. Clearly apple still has some work to do to bring parity between the two forms of Keynote. My guess is until that can be achieved desktop Keynote will continue to stagnate in the service of iPad upgrading for greater power.

Keynote does not see my imovie events

I am trying to create a keynote presentation. When I click the icon to import media it allows me to do it for photos easily. When I click on movies it says that I have no movies. I have gone back to imovie a dozen times and shared my clip in every available form and keynote still sees nothing. I went to the HD to look at the library and also see that there is no event folder. I assume that is the problem but I don't know how to fix it. I have a presentation I need to put together! Please help!!

According to http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US your camcorder is supported by iMovie '11 (Version 9).
But, according to http://help.apple.com/imovie/10/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US it is not supported by iMovie '13 (Version 10)
The reason is Apple has dropped support for some of the older codecs.
So I infer you are using iMovie 10? All is not lost, but you will have to copy the files from you camera to hard disk with Finder and then transcde them into a format that iMovie 10 accepts. The article:
http://lauralily10.tumblr.com/post/68120460685/mpg-imovie-mac-how-do-i-import-a- mpg-file-into-imovie
should help here.
There are a number 3rd party apps, some free, that will do the transcoding in fact Quicktime 10 may be the easiest since it converts old codecs before playing and you can save the converted files

Pages (latest ed) doesn't let me share documents through email anymore.

I updated to the the Mavericks when it was released and updated my copy of Pages along with it. Pages was working flawlessly until yesterday when it was having trouble connecting to my Mail (and hence my Gmail) account. This happened even though I checked the connection and the connection seemed perfectly normal. Earlier today when I went to share a doc through the "Send a Copy" tab and when I scrolled over this I was given two options. Share document through Messages or through AirDrop. The email option had completely vanished! I checked my Mail account's connection to Gmail and everything appeared normal. I disconnected the account and reconnected it to be safe and tried again. Still no "Mail" option. I then deleted my copy of Pages 2013, restarted my comp and redowloaded it. Still no "Mail' option! (I also scanned Pages with 2 different virus detection apps {VirusBarrier Express & ClamXav} and both didn't find a thing wrong with it. Also I ran DiskUtility & that also found nothing wrong.)

See About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility. That is not one of the features they plan to restore in the next six months.
Send feedback. There are forms for Keynote and Numbers, as well.

How to add a pictures

Hi,
How to add a selected pictures while clicking submit button in webdynpro application.The image (Library) should be in adobe form.If i select any picture means i want to dispaly it in adobe form.

In Keynote, use the text tool, enter text and select the font, size and colour.
To create the watermark effect, reduce the opacity in the colour palette.

Can we drag table from excel to form graphs on Keynotes?

I am used to drag tables that I create on excel to form charts on powerpoint.
Will I be able to do so on keynote. I do not wish to duplicate my efforts on excel .
Also, is there smart graphics equivalent on Keynotes too?

Another method to import Excel file is using DDE, its advantage is that it does not need to install the ODBC driver.
Regards,
George
I want the user to press a button and import data from Excel into a temp Oracle table.
Is this possible and how do I do it?
If this is possible, how can I programmatically update the permanent table with the
data in the temp table based on the field name (such as budget_line_number)
instead of a static value (such as '12345') in the where clause. I.E, I want to write code like:
UPDATE budget_table --- this is the permanent table
SET all fields in the permanet table
where budget_line_number = budget_line_number --from the temporary table
Thanks.

How do I copy and paste an image form the internet to Keynote. I have done this successfully in the past by selecting copy and then paste by using the right click function and now am unable to do so. I am thinking it is an outdate OS problem...not sure.

How do I copy and paste an image from the internet to Keynote. I have done so successfully in the paste by using the copy and paste right click functions but am unable to do so now. That was about a year ago that I attempted that I was able to do this. Thank you for your help.

Some images are copy-protected.
If all else fails, you can make a screen shot of the image:
With the image visible in your browser, press CMD-Shift-4 and your cursor will change to crosshairs.
Position the cross hairs at one of the corners of what you want to copy and drag to the opposite corner, then release the mouse. An copy of the image will be saved to your desktop.
You can now edit and use this image.
Be sure to respect copyrights.

Can Keynote for iOS import free-form shapes?

Can iOS Keynote import and edit freeform shapes created in Mac OSX Keynote?

By the way, you can select any custom object and change it's colors (stroke and fill) to one of those supported using the "Paintbrush" icon. You just can't edit the outline of the shape.

Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation compatible with Microsoft Office Powerpoint?

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and need to purchase iWork or Microsoft Office. Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation? If so, is it easy to use and compatible with Microsoft Office presentation software? The latter question is extremely important as we use Microsoft Office primarily at the college.

Yes, Keynote is iWork's PowerPoint equivalent. You can save as a PowerPoint file as well. Very easy to use IMO.

Recording dvd from keynote

I have a keynote presentation that is timed to music, words, and photos. I have a dvd - recorder (burner) on my windows computer. Is it possible to connect my apple to my windows computer to burn a dvd so that I don't lose the integrity of my presentation? If so; how?
Thank you!
Debbie

I hate to have to tell you this, but it is entirely impossible to write ANY Mac slide presentation to DVD in the form it was created, irrespective of how it was created.
I have tried every method suggested and there is always a problem. I created a slide show in iPhoto, but this won't export to DVD, and if exported to Quicktime, the aspect ratio of the photos is not maintained.
I tried exporting to iDVD, but it won't retain the soundtrack that runs through the iPhoto presentation; there is a limitation on the number of pictures that can be inserted in a chapter, and the application is incredibly clunky anyway.
I created the slide show in Keynote and it was great, but that won't export to DVD either, and the various export options are all completely usless for one reason or another. For example, the timing of the slides and accompanying soundtrack is critical, but Quicktime imposes its own timing on a slide display, so the soundtrack goes out of sync.
Altogether, and with great regret, I have to say that all these Mac products are useless except when they can be run on a Mac. It would appear that Apple has deliberately made it impossible to export to a media that is the standard for visual display. I still can't believe that people I thought of as being the best in business could be so brainless.
My absolutely final attempt will be to try and export it to PowerPoint and hope that Microsoft have been a bit more sensible. But I bet there will be problems with this as well.

Trying to use Adobe Encore to create a manual advance keynote BD-ISO

Hi All,
Background:
I'm a media designer that produces corporate media content for a recruiting firm.
Objective:
I'm trying to devise a way for presenters in our sales offices to run standardized group interview and training HD keynote shows without the use of a DVD player or a laptop on their LCD screens.
Laptops= every manager needs an apple computer and keynote software to run the content + its messy to have to manage wired connections to the mounted LCD panels all the time.
DVD Players= any updates that are required to this content from time to time make the idea of re-shipping physical DVD's logistically undesirable.
Proposed Solution:
Perminently integrate a BD-ISO (menu) compatible HD media player into our office setups that will run manual advance Keynote BD-ISO's (created in Encore) where any new updates can just be downloaded from a central server in the form of a Blu-ray master iso image by the end-user, dropped on their USB flash drive, and played through the media player.
Here's the workflow I've come up with (Problem to follow):
1. Design a 1280x720 keynote presentation in Apple iWork's Keynote '09
2. Export a timed (Intervals: 5 sec/between each slide & 2 sec/between each object animation) h.264 | 1280x720 | 29.97 quicktime .mov file
3. Create Blu Ray Encore Project (1280x720, h.264, 29.97)
4. Import .mov file as timeline
5. Insert chapter markers at the beggining of every animation/transition (On diagram below- I'm talking about Ch. 3 & 5)
6. Insert a second chapter marker directly before each of the previous set of chapter markers as close together as encore will allow (On diagram below- I'm talking about Ch. 2 & 4)
7. Set "end action" on each of the second set of chapter points (Ch. 2 & 4 below) to "Link back to here" so that the still image hold that occures after each "keynote animation" (thanks to the 2 sec hold time I set in the Keynote export- see step 2 above) is isolated so the playback loops on that chapter (which is a still frame because of the 2 sec pause between animations as set in keynote export).
Note on this technique: Idea is to set up the timeline and chapter end actions so that the playback loops on a few identical frames that exist between the two "extremely-close-together" chapter points (creating a "pause" effect) until the end user hits "Next Chapter" button on remote to jump to the proceeding chapter that contains the next keynote animation or tranistion.
Diagram:
(timeline-> ...---------------Ch.2<-- -->Ch.3(beggining of animation)-------------------------------------(end of animation)Ch.4<-- -->Ch.5------------------------->)
8. Set "First Play," "Title Button," and "Timeline End Action" to Ch.1 of the timeline (so it starts there when ISO is activated and loops back to there at the end of the presentation).
9. Export as "Blu-ray" Image
10. Load iso file on a USB flash drive, plug it into BD-ISO (menu) supported media player, and run the ISO and Voila!! = HD Keynote presentation running from BD-ISO file on a media player. PERFECT SOLUTION....
PROBLEM:
One of the most marketable (due to affordable price-point) BD-ISO (full menu support) media players is the HDX BD1. When I run the ISO file on this unit, it will play the first chapter, and pause and loop on chapter 2 like it is supposed to, creating the pause effect; But when I select "next chapter" it says "cannot_execute"- and I cannot proceed to the next transition/animation. I've previewed the setup in the encore preview feature and it behave's perfectly.
I'd be quick to say its a hardware issue but I've checked out several YouTube videos with people demoing this exact media player running and navigating feature film BD-ISO's (selecting "next chapter" and all) without any issues at all.
I've mastered something similar to this technique using DVDSP on SD DVD's, because DVDSP allows me to infinitley pause playpack ON each chapter point, not even needing the use of the "loop" feature I've set up in encore; But Adobe Encore doesn't offer a "pause" end action so I've come up with this as the next best thing. Although it doesn't play back properly on a full BD-ISO NAVI supported media player.
QUESTIONS:
1. Based on this setup, is there anything obvious I'm missing in Adobe Encore that would eleviate this playback problem on the media player?
2. Is there another authoring workflow within Encore that would allow me to acheive Keynote motion graphic, manual-advance slideshows?
Thanks for help in advance.

Hi Chad,
The most probable explanation is that Encore is creating incorrect navigation commands. It is well known and documented that Encore Blu-ray navigation works only for the simplest cases.
This should be easy to fix using BluStreak Tracer, Rivergate Software's upcoming post-authoring solution:
http://blustreak.dvdafteredit.com/blustreak-tracer-macintosh
If you will prepare a small test case (1 GB or less) and post it on an FTP server, I will take a look and attempt to update it for you. You can contact me through our web site's contact page.

Larry

Keynote Export "Transparent video"

This maybe a some tip and trick how to export form Keynote transparent chart animations and what ever...
i looking for answer around the network, but no answerts of this question! So i figure out how to do this and i like to share it (maybe helpful for others)
1. Create a transparent .png file (i take for example my steps) i created in Photoshop transparent image 1024x576 for PAL Widescreen. Export as .png
2. Open Keynote, make your own animated chart, pie or whatever you like.
3. Open inspector > Document inspector set your size. (For my situation i choice 1024x576)
4. Go to Slide inspector. Under Background choice Image Fill and use your transparent .png image
5. File/Export.
6. check include transparency. Under formats choice "Custom"
7. Choice Settings!
8. In Video Compression Settings Choice Animation Set your frame rate. Set Keyframes to Automatic. Set Depth to Millions Of Colors + (Quality - set to Best)
Thats all!
Transparency are not working by default - it works only when you set a transparent Color Fill
this is some kind of Keynote Bug or so...

This also works if in your step 4, you choose "Color Fill", then using the Color well, choose any color you want, AND set its Opacity to 0%. No need for the transparent .png file this way.
(I sure wish the Include Transparency check box would stay checked from one export to the next!)
Cheers, and thanks for the post.

Simple shape morphing in Keynote...?

Hello,
I am seeking help with what should be a simple task (I reckon), but which is turning out not to be...
I use Keynote 9 for my teaching presentations. I need to show semi-transparent coloured regions – superimposed onto maps – that change through time, and I would like to make that change into a fluid animation: simple semi-transparent blobs that change shape. That's all! Simple, huh.
Here are the problems...
- The shapes are irregular (so Magic Move won't do it)
- Keynote 9, so no Flash
- I can get Adobe Illustrator to generate Flash animations and then I should be able to convert them with VideoMonkey into .mp4s... except that VideoMonkey utterly refuses to convert the .swf files generated by Illustrator... No idea what's going on there... Tried everything I can think of, no go.
- Downloaded a trial version of Mac SWF Video Converter, but this seems to make mp4s with black backgrounds... I couldn't see any way to maintain the transparency (and of course Instant Alpha doesn't work on video files)
- I can generate single animation frames in Adobe Illustrator then use Preview to combine them into animated GIFs, but Keynote will not import the result with a transparent background (yes, I can *make* them with a transparent background, but Keynote renders it solid white on import...)
- I can convert the animated GIF to a QT movie (using GIF2MOV), but then I lose the semi-transparency on the shapes themselves.
- I could place each of my Illustrator-generated animation frames onto a separate Keynote slide and have them auto Transition with no Effect – so use Keynote itself as the animation software – but for a halfway decent smoothness in the animation, we're talking a lot of frames and this approach seems pretty inefficient to me... Not to mention a pain to do (as the image on each slide has to be independently aligned... take me for ever!)
For a relatively simple visual effect, this appears to be implausibly difficult to do... Unless someone out there can see another way of doing it...
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Interesting idea... I managed to achieve the effect I was after (I'll explain how below) only to realize that what I was actually aiming for was even harder than I had realized...
What I am trying to animate is changing ethnic "territories" over time in South East Asia. These are complicated little shapes that merge into one another and shift about all over the place. As I am dealing with historical territorial (or perhaps more accurately, "distributional") data, I project it onto a purely physical map of Asia that has no modern political boundaries (as they are irrelevant). But this also means (if you are not so good at geography) that your normal visual reference points have gone, and for my students (French university-level language students, not geography majors) I'm sure that the result can be a little difficult to assimilate.
For the past few years, I have been happily fading different, often visually disjunct arrangements into one another, but I have always been only moderately satisfied with the result: the changes can be hard to track visually, which defeats the whole purpose of displaying them this way... I wanted the shapes to flow without interruption (like blobs of wax in a Lava lamp! - Theres an image for you!) – to be visually coherent.
I began therefore thinking about morphing, and Flash animations...
...and ran into all the problems that the tiff between Apple and Adobe has currently left us with. (Don't you like the play on words there... tiff... )
I gave up on trying to animate just the transparent blobs, with a view to overlaying the animation on a static blank map in Keynote, and instead tried animating the whole lot, background map and all, using Adobe Illustrator. The process involves Illustrator's blend tool, and exporting to .swf, then recapturing the .swf files with Snapz Pro X in .mov format, which allowed Keynote to import them.
BUT! The result was still not what I wanted (picky, eh). Illustrator's blend tool does a superb job of translating any form into any other, no matter how complex, but groups of humans moving over land don't move like that! For instance, a circluar region moving to a coastal region, when "morphed" will progressively adopt the shape of the coastline before reaching it, which is just silly. It looks as if the population being represented distribute themselves to neatly match the coast when still about 500kms away (and over the space of several generations). Call me stickler, but it doesn't look right. It isn't right, and it's not what I need...
Sure, any such representation is a vast oversimplification in any case, but superimposing such a specifically impossible visual trait onto the presentation runs counter to the whole idea of doing it for me. It should be iconically plausible (even if not accurate).
So... I'm in a pause... Looking to understand animating shapes better...
I like your screen shot idea tho'. I will have to try it out...
Cheers,
Colin

Animated gifs in keynote for iPad

I realized, in Excel 2011 (Mac) a ppt with links "simple" and I want to incorporate animated GIFs (or videos).
Everything works smoothly on Power Point, however, upon transfer of the Ipad and opening files with Keynote my animated gifs are no longer... animated!
Even if I try to incorporate these gifs directly on the iPad does not work better.
You know how I can fix my problem?
If the gifs can not be borne any video format to use when it is necessary that during the transition from 2011 to ppt Keynote everything works?
In advance thank you
Yo.

Great solution James. As a former university level instructor, it must mean that you're old and out of touch. Gifs are an amazing new form of communication if used correctly. I too am searching for a solution for the same problem as ytomasz.
An"amazing new form of communication"? SERIOUSLY? Animated gifs are as old as the hills and came into being as a stop gap prior to other means of providing web based animation and video became practical. They are strictly amateur hour and are quite unprofessional. Perhaps you could do with a little communication training.
