I use Keynote for classroom presentations of historical images. As I show them in class, I identify & explain each image. Later I make the Keynotes available to the students through Dropbox. My question: how do I attach identifying labels to each image in Keynote so the students know what they are looking at?

if its a blank presentation without text placeholders -  click on text tool and type then move text box if required
there are preinstalled templates for text and photos - click on masters in tool bar and select

  • Keynote for Windows Presentation

    I have just upgraded to Keynote 3.0.1. I would like to create a slideshow in Keynote for a presentation. The church that will show the presentation uses Windows. I tried last year using Keynote 2, and tried upteen different exports to Powerpoint, but had a variety of issues which are too numerous to mention. So....does anyone know if Keynote 3 has a new solution? Right now I use iPhoto slideshow (which has improved to be honest), but I then have to create a QT movie which obviously loses some of the quality of the images.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    the two biggies for me are soft drop shadows, and images that have transparency placed INSIDE (or as a fill) to a ppt auto shape.
    I ran into this second one when I exported a theme I'm working on into PPT 2004. All my photo cutouts are actual Keynote shapes, and I created shadow images that actually sit inside a shape, so you get a nice hard edge on the cutout...but when I opened the PPT file, these shapes (which came over as PPT shapes) which should have shown a shadow with transparency around it ended up with solid white backgrounds.
    Then I tried to just use a standard PPT shape and add an image into it, and got the same effect. Transparency INSIDE a ppt shape just isn't supported.
    You might also want to look at the transitions and effects to see if they've caught up to Keynote at all.

  • Using iMovie for a presentation?

    I'm hoping to use iMovie 09 in dual screen mode for a presentation. The idea is that all my photos and video clips are lined up in the timeline on the 1 screen, which I select when I need them to play on the presentation screen. Unfortunately, as far as I can see, when I move my mouse over the Event or Project windows, it shows/previews that clip on the main screen. This problem isn't specific to the dual screen mode, it also does it when you're working with 1 screen. Is there a way to disable this feature so that I can use iMovie for my presentation?

    well, after the 2nd coffee I'm even faster! (early morning here... )
    .. .the thing with creating a folder and placing all my media in there, could you go into that in a bit more depth please? If that's an easy way of displaying the media on a second screen, I guess that would be the thing for me to do!
    hmm, well, easy yes, but less convenient than usage of a designated presentation app. Keynote has some nice features .. but, I'm no Apple salesman.. here's the 'Russian techniqué' :
    first, we have to collect the stills..
    in Finder create a New Folder 'Presentation Stills' (or.. whatever), perhaps on Desktop.. (or anywhere, you like..)
    if stills are NOT in iPhoto, COPY them (hold ctrl-key and drag 'n drop) from actual location into 'Pres_stills'
    if stills are in iP, collect them in an album, Export >> into your Pres_Stills folder.
    2nd) same with movies..
    create Folder 'Pres_movs' ..
    any existing movies get copied as stills
    any iMovie Projects have to individually 'Export using QT' ..
    3rd) connect 2nd monitor, goto System Prefs, choose etx. monitor as 'main screen' (=drag menu bar to that device)
    3.5th) Test!
    .. perhaps, you have to adjust sizes etc ...
    4th) Showtime!
    open both folders, drag to your Macbook's screen.
    double click a still => Preview will open on main screen, showing still...
    double click a mov => QTplayer will play on main screen.
    savy? ...

    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??

  • Can I use Keynote for Ipad with my PC?

    Can I use Keynote for Ipad with my PC?

    Unfortunately, this is not true either. For some reason, when you export to PDF, and open the PDF on a PC, it often says it cannot read the font and you get a PDF that looks like it's very sick.
    I'm not sure exactly how PDF works, but I don't know why it needs to be able to read a font correctly? I thought PDFs were readable on anything because it basically printed the document on a page, which is why you cannot edit it.

  • How do I share a keynote presentation I created on my Mac with a friend who uses keynote for iOS?

    I have created a presentation on my Mac in Keynote '13. It's in iCloud, and I'd like to share it with a friend who wants to work on it from her iPad with the latest Keynote for iOS installed. There seems to be no way in the world to make that happen. Airdrop: available on my Mac, not on her iPad, even though we're on the same wireless network. iCloud sharing: will open a link in the iPads safari, with a not very well working verison of iWork for iCloud. No way to download the file to the iPad and work in Keynote! Shared via Messages: the presentation will show up in messages and can be viewed in there, but it can NOT be opened in Keynote for iOS. Eventually I tried to move it out of iCloud, so I could just send it to her via mail. Guess what, Keynote '13 files can not be attached to mail?!?!?!?I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but working with Apple's userfriendly technology makes me feel like someone who has never touched anything electronic before in his life

    Not done, sorry.
    so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software

  • Keynote for theater presentation

    Hi everyone,
    I am using keynote to produce a theater presentation which is going to be shown at two televisions simultaneously. The presentation starts with a half an hour video. Is there a way to keep this video (2GB) external? The presentation has to be quick enough to follow the narrator, so I would love to hear all tricks and trips in keeping  the keynote file small and above all, quick. All images are external and there are quite a lot of quick time movies. I wonder if performance would be allright.
    You can see the presentation (work in progress) at

    Thanks in advance to everyone.

  • Using iDVD for simple presentation

    I've produced two iMovies that I'm sending to a 3rd party to be used during an awards presentation. I'd like a simple "cue #1" & "cue #2" menu set up. What is the simplest way to go about doing that?
    Thanks,
    Gee

    My problem, or rather the problem that I want to avoid is that I don't need a theme. I imagine the person running the program would like to be able to simply start the cues one at a time without having to go to a menu page. What I've done is I've put the two iMovies together into one iMovie file, and added a chapter marker at the top of the second cue. I imagine that the presenter will be able to pause after the first movie, and then go to the next chapter for the second.
    If you use one of those simple themes, e.g. "Transparent Blue" which has no animation, no sound, all you get is a rather plain 2-tone background, the 2 movies you add to the theme would be 2 text labelled buttons. You have the choice of having a title or not as well. This gives the presenter quite easy to just pick one of the buttons to start one of the movies. When the 1st movie finishes, or hit the stop button, you return back to the menu, then you can select the next movie.

  • Using Keynote for Interactive Flash Content

    Hi,
    I'm creating an interactive E-Book using Keynote,
    In Keynote '08 I could export to Flash, and that would not be able to export transitions but apart from that, worked OK,
    But in Keynote '09 I can only export to Quicktime, which works fine using hyperlinks only ( therefore it's interactive ) so everything is OK. Only this quicktime file is 27mb big, and I want to convert it to flash, but using Quicktime Pro to convert it always takes away the interactivity of the E-Book, it becomes a self-playing movie file,
    I want to know if there is any way to convert an Interactive Hyperlinks-Only Quicktime file, to an Interactive Flash file??
    And if I create this quicktime file in Mac will it work the same in Quicktime for Windows?
    (I am creating the E-Book for a windows user)
    Any help or advice would be deeply appreciated,
    thanks
    Harry

    Okay so how much of that $25 is Adobe making;
    50% margin would suggest $16.67 per unit.
    $699 is suggested retail price for the latest incarnation of Flash CS4.
    What the "OEM Software" merchants are offering is a pre-Adobe version of Flash 8 Pro, in German, for Mac, that obviously very few people would want. If they had accepted PayPal, I would have bought it, but I was not willing to reveal to them my credit card.
    So: +what alternatives do we have?+
    There's a Mom & Pop outfit called "Vertical Moon" that offers a number of modest tools with free demos, notably [SWF'n Slide|http://www.verticalmoon.com/index.htm]. I do appreciate frugality when it comes to solving technical problems (as opposed to bloatware, like Microsoft and Adobe's). The latest news from the "moon" people is dated September 2008, so maybe their future is dim, but I've just looked at their documentation and find it well conceived and well crafted. I'll give them a try.
    In the future, perhaps we shall see some Open Source project succeed, like [JSwiff|http://www.jswiff.com/index.jsp].
    Then again, it is a fact that *Keynote 08* (version 3.0.2, in particular) does almost everything I ask it to, including export to ".swf", except it fails to export when I embed certain things like midi or QuickTime. It's a lot friendlier, I must say, than any PowerPoint editor I've encountered. Don't you love those yellow alignment guides that show up spontaneously when you move things around?
    That thought opens the temptation to edit to heart's content with KN'08, export,
    and then edit the swf xml file with a text editor,
    and the auxiliary file structure with Mac OS Finder!

  • SHould I use keynote for this?

    We will exhibit at the Frankfurt ProLight+Sound this year and the task of producing the picture slideshow with promotional material has fallen on to my desk.
    Plan is to have three plasma screens connected in to one giant screen so that images move from one screen to another, to the third, and so on.
    Should I use keynote to produce this? Or is it better to do something in iMovie/FCE/FCP? Or is Director the software to use?
    The other thing is that this will run either on a PC or off a DVD player and it has to be looped.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest using FCP because I don't think iMovie can show 3 pictures at the same time. FCP does cost a lot and is used by many to edit movies (Like any movie you would see in a theater). I wouldn't suggest buying it if your not going to use it a lot. Then use Keynote. Make the pictures move with each slide. Loop it and make it a QuickTime (.mov). Click 'Manual Advance' and change it to 'Fixed Timing'. Click 'None' and change it to 'Loop'. Check 'Enter full screen mode when opened'. Click on 'Full Quality, Large' and change it to 'CD-ROM Movie, Medium'. Check 'Include transparency'. That should make it easy to burn to CD/DVD and play back on a Windows Machine. On a VCR I have no idea.

  • Use Keynote for Website?

    I'm brand new to Keynote. Currently upgrading from 2.0.2 to 3. Is it possible to create a whole website in Keynote and upload it as your Website?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Welcome to the discussion forums, wit.
    Is it possible to create a whole website in Keynote and upload it as your Website?
    Possible, but not advisable. Some web-specific tool like iWeb or RapidWeaver would be a better choice, as these kind of applications have functionality specifically for creating websites. There are a variety of common features that many website have but that Keynote can't create (such as rollover graphics, or Javascript support). The HTML conversion is OK if you want someone to see a presentation on the web, but it really isn't designed for full-scale website production.

  • If i download and use firefox for a presentation, create this in windows7 will this open ok on a mac

    I need to create a presentation that will be viewed on an Apple Mac, I am a windows7 user. If I were to download firefox and create this presentation on my PC will it open OK on my recipients Mac

    Your question may or may not have to do with Firefox. If you create your presentation using Web standards like HTML then you should have no problem opening/displaying it on any computer regardless of the operating system. If you are using software like PowerPoint, your recipient's Mac will need to have suitable software for viewing a PowerPoint presentation. (Note that you can get PowerPoint for Mac.) In this latter situation I would suggest that you may have more success saving your presentation as a PDF as this format is more portable across operating systems.

  • Using Pages for iPad, how to replace images

    Hi. 
    I'm new to Pages.  I have created a Pages document with text and photos.  I'd like to create more documents using the same basic format.  I'd like to be able to click on a photo and choose a new image without the image size changing in the document.   I thought I had tried this from a pages template on my friend's ipad but I can't figure it out now that I have my own ipad.   Any help appreciated. 

    These are merge fields.
    A double tap on them selects all and then you can type whatever you want in their place.
