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 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.

Editable Countdown Timer?

Hi there,
Just got Keynote and excited about exploring the possibilities. One thing I'd like have for presentations is an editable countdown timer: something I could insert on a slide, punch in a duration to the presentation start, and let it countdown.
Not sure if this is doable, though was thinking if it couldn't be done through Keynote itself, maybe a Dashboard widget overlaid would work as an alternative?
Found a passing reference to something that sounds close at the following thread, but not sure where to go from here:

Thanks for any help or ideas!
iBook G4 1.33 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Remembered that Apple had a download area for widgets, and rumuged around countdown timers and found one that's nice:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/calculate_convert/321.html
In Keynote, I turned on the preference that allows Dashboard, Expose, and other apps to operate during a presentation. It warns that presentation performance may suffer, though not sure how much of an impact it'll actually make.
So using the timer in Dashboard overlaid over the Keynote title slide seems like one solution (though the impact on presentation performance remains to be seen). An in-presentation counter might be nicer.
Look forward to seeing what Kyn has in his toolbox, and not sure if there might be other things people are using, or additional thoughts/ideas on how this can be done?
Thanks.

How can i insert a song in a keynote presentation?

How can i insert a song in a keynote presentation?
Thanks for tour help.

Hmmm... I made the opening in motion, and have set it as a opening bumer. So what I typically do is drag it in to the project time line from the right side of the screen (where my bumbers are) and then add the audio (from itunes) on top of it. So that audio is being duplicated on every single event. This was the only way I knew to do it so I could easily change the date without having to always set the right keyframes. (If there is an easier way, please let me know.)
For the ending bumber I just use a small video clip I made and insert it in each timeline. So I'm assuming that is also being duplicated every single time.

How to create countdown timer with sound

Any ideas on how to create a minute and seconds countdown timer that would play a sound and then redirect you to another page?

Hi,
There is no out of the box solution to do so in Muse at the moment. If you can get your own code, you can add it to your site using "Insert HTML" feature.

How do I pause the elapsed timer in keynote

I have made a Keynote Presentation and at the 90 minute point I want to have a 10 minute break
is there a way that I can PAUSE the "elapsed time Timer" in the presenters mode? and then restart it when I restart the presentation?
Each of my slides have notes that show me ( as the presenter) where I should be in the 3 hours presentation and If they dont come back from the break after exactly 10 minutes...then the times on my slides wont match the elapsed timer... so I'd just rather pause the elapsed timer..
any help is appreciated

No, the timer runs continuously to inform you the duration at any point in the presentation.
As this is a single presentation, the countdown timer must continue to provide accurate timing. If you have a break during the presentation at 90 minutes, and reconvene when the timer shows 100 minutes, you know exactly where you are in the presentation.
then the times on my slides wont match the elapsed timer
Change the information to show the correct elapsed time.

How to find out the rows inserted between a time period.

How to find out the rows inserted between a time period.
For eg:- Between 02-Oct-2006 1 PM and 03-Oct-2006 2 PM.

Hi,
Maybe work:
For each row, ORA_ROWSCN returns the conservative upper bound system change number (SCN) of the most recent change to the row. This pseudocolumn is useful for determining approximately when a row was last updated. It is not absolutely precise, because Oracle tracks SCNs by transaction committed for the block in which the row resides
e.g.:
SGMS@ORACLE10> create table test(cod number);
Table created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into test values (1);
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into test values (2);
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> commit;
Commit complete.
SGMS@ORACLE10> insert into test values (3);
1 row created.
SGMS@ORACLE10> commit;
Commit complete.
SGMS@ORACLE10> select SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(ora_rowscn),ora_rowscn,cod from test;
SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(ORA_ROWSCN)       ORA_ROWSCN        COD

Insert date and time

This is a simple question but one that has been bugging me in a small way. If on a spreadsheet I press 'insert date and time' all I get is that day and date for example saturday 10th July 2010 and no time.
Anyone offer an explanation for this?
Thanks
Mike

Hello Peggy
The problem was already reported to Bugs Hunters :
+Bug ID# 7862838.+
+In Numbers and Pages there is the function+
+Insert > Date Time.+
+At this time, its default behaviour is : insert the current date and the time 12:00:00 (without displaying the time).+
+Given my own experience and what is often asked in Discussions forums, it would be interesting to change the default setting so that it inserts the current date & time and display both of them.+
+Of course some users wish the availability of three items:+
+Insert > Date defaulting to the sole date component+
+Insert > Time defaulting to the sole time component+
+Insert > Date & Time defaulting to the complete current dateTime.+
+I preferred the scheme defaulting with the complete current dateTime because removing one component is faster than adding one using the existing protocol.+

Best way to implement a countdown timer for a turn based LCCS game

Hello,
I am trying to build a turn based game and sketching out the high level map, so I can focus my efforts towards the direction I should be digging.
One thing I have not seen much in the sample apps is how a turn based game is best handled.
For example, a countdown timer. Should it be a shared property? Or a Baton which is supposed to manage workflows and has a timeout property?
Or, should I forget those two, and time this on the server, although if it would become popular keeping track of all the times in the rooms would cost an arm and leg. Would love to hear some best practices on this.

good idea.
Which one or all of them?

How can I make a countdown timer using After Effects

I'd like to make a video that has a timer that counts down one second at a time. I need one starting at 5:00 (five minutes). Is there a way to easily do this in After Effects without having to manually change the text every second?
Thanks.

I'm glad that you found a solution, but I thought that you might appreciate a suggestion of another approach.
Colin Braley provides a tutorial and example project on
his website that show how to use an expression on the Source Text property to animate text to overcome some of the limitations of the Numbers effect.
There's a similar example in the
"Example: Animate text as a timecode display" section of After Effects Help.
Here are some Community Help searches that can lead you to some ideas, too:

Find record insert date and time in a table

Hi All,
I want to get record insert date and time in a table. There is no datetime column in my table. Are there any possibility to get date and time for each record?
Thank You

Thats not easy. If your transaction info still resides on active portion of the log you can use fn_dblog to read out the time at which the transactions occurs. This is useful only if you try it shortly after transaction.
the code would look like this
SELECT *
FROM fn_dblog(null,null)
WHERE [Transaction Name] LIKE 'INSERT%'
OR [Transaction Name] LIKE 'UPDATE%'

Insert at BWF Time Offset - Not working!

I have some broadcast wave files generated with Cubase 5, and they definitely have BWF time offset. I can see it in File Info. When I select the option to Use BWF Time Reference Offset, and then attempt to insert the file, it just inserts at the cursor. How do I make it insert at the time offset?

Seems this is a good thing in CS4.
In CS3, you can split tracks that you didn't want split if you are not careful, so this seems like a very good new thing they added.
