Is there a way to "compress" or reduce keynote file size?

I have transferred some PowerPoint presentations to Keynote and in general have had no difficulty. However, I can "compress" the pictures in PowerPoint which makes the file size much smaller.
Is there any way to reduce the file size of a Keynote presentation?

hi I am trying to do a project of putting a keynote saved as a quicktime into garageband and adding audio and then compressing it via Share ...sent to itunes etc. It does get smaller.
But Are there any experts out there on putting a keynote with narration into garageband. I loose all of the timing control when I send it to quicktime. It seems like a LOT of steps.
Also, putting a narration into keynote is so long. Power Point just lets you record the narration on each slide. So I was putting it into garageband and trying to add the narration podcast style. Any suggestions.

Is there a way to compress media and project files into something small

I have a 2TB hard disk where all my FCP files - project files, media files and rendered files are stored.
I am not sure I will reopen those projects but still to be onthe safer side I do not want to delete them
but keep the compresed so that in case I need to open them some later time, I can open the project and do the edits.
So is there a way to compress the files and store that I can reuse in a later stage but still take less space now.

You can delete all the render files, since they can recreated when needed.
And you can also delete the optimized or proxy media, if you have any, for the same reason.
I doubt that you'd get much space back by using compression, since video files are already pretty much compressed.

Is there a way to export at a target file size?

I need to export at <10Mb. For now I've been exporting at descending quality levels until I get each picture to come in just under 10Mb, but this is very time consuming.
Is there any way to do this straight out of Aperture? I see LR5 now has an option for target megapixel size, but I don't have LR.

Not that I know of. It's trial➞retry until you get what you want, and it will change for each Image even if the Image's are from the same camera. But "<10 MB" should be a pretty easy target to hit.
In general, with JPG compression, lowering the resolution loses the smallest details, lowering the quality loses the slightest tonal changes. If your images have a lot of detail, lower the quality before you lower the resolution. If your images have broad areas of nearly-matched tones, lower the resolution before you lower the quality. Whatever you do, you should inspect every exported file before using it further.
Screenshot showing some of the results of my trying to get exported files to not exceed required storage specifications:
Would have liked to have the functionality you're seeking added to a future version of Aperture. Maybe we'll get it in PhotOSX.

Reducing Keynote File Size

Does reducing the size of a Keynote file degrade the visual quality of the presentation?

Perhaps the file is just large, and you've done everything possible?
One other thing you might want to try is to do a "Save As" with another version number. I just did that to a file that was 27.2 MB and it shrank to 25.4 MB. Not much, I know.
I don't know how KN works internally, but a program like Adobe's InDesign stores all the changes you make to a file at the end of that file (if I understand correctly), and when you do a Save As, it rebuilds the file and gets rid of all the old info.
Just curious, how big is your file, what's in it (lots of images?) and how small were you hoping to get it?

Is there a way to compress the size of an iMovie to be able to send it in an email?, is there a way to compress the size of an iMovie to be able to send it in an email?, is there a way to compress the size of an iMovie to be able to send it in an email?

so i made a slideshow for someone and i cant email it to them bec the file is to big... is there a way to compress it?

Hi
Yes and No
Yes
• Share as QuickTime
• Convert it to 3gp
No
• Will still be larger than most e-mail account's accepts - Mine are limited to 25Mb max
• Quality will be worse than bad
I use
• YouSentIt
Down load movie
Get an internet address
Send address to reciever
I think it was free for 100-200Mb
And by using H264 and small size I got an usably movie over.

I took a 6 minute video and it's too grainy. Is there any way at all to reduce the grain? Or am I out of luck?

I took a 6 minute video and it's too grainy. Is there any way at all to reduce the grain? Or am I out of luck?

Yes, you have lots of alternatives.
1. Got to somewhere like Google docs and create a comment and feedback form, that can be inserted onto your site via the html snippet. You can also take a look at http://www.jotform.com. Whenever someone completes the form, you will be e-mailed with all the info.
2. Use a comment system like http://www.intensedebate.com. Very good and the comments will be displayed on your site and you will be e-mailed when someone comments and you are able to accept it or reject it in this way.
3. Go and create a blog elsewhere, like http://wordpress.com or if you have hosting, then try http://wordpress.org. You can load this on your server with no problem and then create comments here, so in your iWeb site you either create a link to your blog or you can display your blog as an iframe in your iWeb site using iframe code.
4. As far as hit counters go - there are many. Just do a Google search for hit counters - http://www.hitcounterexpert.com and there are hundreds more.
Perhaps Apple keep blog comments and hit counter as MobileMe only to encourage people to use MobileMe rather than external servers. However, we can only speculate on that!

A simple and free way of reducing PDF file size using Preview

Note: this is a copy and update of a 5 year old discussion in the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard discussions which you can find here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/6109398#6109398
This is a simple and free solution I found to reduce the file size of PDFs in OS X, without the high cost and awful UI of Acrobat Pro, and with acceptable quality. I still use it every day, although I have Acrobat Pro as part of Adove Creative Cloud subscription.
Since quite a few people have found it useful and keep asking questions about the download location and destination of the filters, which have changed since 2007, I decided to write this update, and put it in this more current forum.
Here is how to install it:
Download the filters here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41548940/PDF%20compression%20filters%20%28Un zip%20and%20put%20in%20your%20Library%20folder%29.zip
Unzip the downloaded file and copy the filters in the appropriate location (see below).
Here is the appropriate location for the filters:
This assumes that your startup disk's name is "Macintosh HD". If it is different, just replace "Macintosh HD" with the name of your startup disk.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7.x or 10.8.x) then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services". This folder should already exist and contain files. Once you put the downloaded filters there, you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
If you are running an earlier vesion of OS X (10.6.x or earlier), then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/Filters" and you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Filters/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
Here is how to use it:
Open a PDF file using Apple's Preview app,
Choose Export (or Save As if you have on older version of Mac OS X) in the File menu,
Choose PDF as a format
In the "Quartz Filter" drop-down menu, choose a filter "Reduce to xxx dpi yyy quality"; "Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION" is a good trade-off between quality and file size
Here is how it works:
These are Quartz filters made with Apple Colorsinc Utility.
They do two things:
downsample images contained in a PDF to a target density such as 150 dpi,
enable JPEG compression for those images with a low or medium setting.
Which files does it work with?
It works with most PDF files. However:
It will generally work very well on unoptimized files such as scans made with the OS X scanning utility or PDFs produced via OS X printing dialog.
It will not further compress well-optimized (comrpessed) files and might create bigger files than the originals,
For some files it will create larger files than the originals. This can happen in particular when a PDF file contains other optomizations than image compression. There also seems to be a bug (reported to Apple) where in certain circumstances images in the target PDF are not JPEG compressed.
What to do if it does not work for a file (target PDF is too big or even larger than the original PDF)?
First,a good news: since you used a Save As or Export command, the original PDF is untouched.
You can try another filter for a smaller size at the expense of quality.
The year being 2013, it is now quite easy to send large files through the internet using Dropbox, yousendit.com, wetransfer.com etc. and you can use these services to send your original PDF file.
There are other ways of reducing the size of a PDF file, such as apps in the Mac App store, or online services such as the free and simple http://smallpdf.com
What else?
Feel free to use/distribute/package in any way you like.

Thanks ioscar.
The original link should be back online soon.
I believe this is a Dropbox error about the traffic generated by my Dropbox shared links.
I use Dropbox mainly for my business and I am pretty upset by this situation.
Since the filters themsemves are about 5KB, I doubt they are the cause for this Dropbox misbehavior!
Anyway, I submitted a support ticket to Dropbox, and hope everything will be back to normal very soon.
In the meantime, if you get the same error as ioscar when trying to download them, you can use the link in the blog posting he mentions.
This is out of topic, but for those interested, here is my understanding of what happened with Dropbox.
I did a few tests yesterday with large (up to 4GB) files and Dropbox shared links, trying to find the best way to send a 3 hour recording from French TV - French version of The Voice- to a friend's 5 year old son currently on vacation in Florida, and without access to French live or catch up TV services. One nice thing I found is that you can directly send the Dropbox download URL (the one from the Download button on the shared link page) to an AppleTV using AirFlick and it works well even for files with a large bitrate (except of course for the Dropbox maximum bandwidth per day limit!). Sadly, my Dropbox shared links were disabled before I could send anything to my friend.
I may have used a significant amount of bandwidth but nowhere near the 200GB/day limit of my Dropbox Pro account.
I see 2 possible reasons to Dropbox freaking out:
- My Dropbox Pro account is wronngly identified as a free account by Dropbox. Free Dropbox accounts have a 20GB/day limit, and it is possible that I reached this limit with my testing, I have a fast 200Mb/s internet access.
- Or Dropbox miscalculates used bandwidth, counting the total size of the file for every download begun, and I started a lot of downloads, and skipped to the end of the video a lot of times on my Apple TV.

Exporting a book to pdf - any way to reduce the file size?

Hi,
So I have made a book using iPhoto and would like to send a pdf copy of it to another person who will fill in the texts. I am able to save the book as pdf via the print menu but the resulting file is over 300 mb in size (the book has only 20 pages)! On the one hand i like the fact that iPhoto is not downsampling my photos but it's a bit difficult trying to send a 300+ mb file over email Is there any way to create a pdf with the images compressed so i could send it as an attachment?

Is there a way to password protect a single file in numbers?

Is there a way to passwork protect a single file in Numbers?

Not directly no - there is this work-around which should still work on iOS 6, or you could see if any of the third-party email apps in the app store support a password, or just access your account via Safari (you can create a homescreen shortcut for your account's login page)

Is there a way to import metadata to wav files in my library?

Is there a way to import metadata to wav files in my library?
I have about 1,500 .wav files that are presently in my iTunes library, but as most of you are aware .wav files have their limitations with regard to how iTunes translates their specific track information. I haven't been archiving using .wav in sometime, I've since switched to another more iTunes friendly format. But, I have these 1,500 files left and I'm desperately trying to find a faster way to log the info.
I've built a data table with all of the track information I want to import. Does anyone know of a good macro, or script that will allow me to import this data so I don't have to manually open each individual .wav file and input this manually?
Any help would be appreciated!
Note: I've searched the forums, and I've looked at similar posts, but nothing to solve this specific little quandary. If I've somehow overlooked a post, please forgive my repeat post.

I can probably help with this.
I have a script called TagFromFilename that can apply fill in the details that can be extracted from the file path if the .wavs are stored in the layout <Album Artist>\<Album>\[D-]## <Name>[ - <Artist>].<Ext> where D is an optional leading disc number and <Artist> is an optional trailing artist (otherwise both artist and album artist are set to the grandparent folder). You just need to make sure that before you add the tracks to iTunes, that it won't rename the files. You can do this by turning off the Keep option if the files are inside the media folder, or the copy option if the tracks are located outside.
Alternatively I have another script called ExportImport which allows for almost any editable to be adjusted, as long as you can export the internal track IDs of each track and then marry them up with the data you want to import. See Batch Add Comments Tag Solution? for a previous example of how if might be done. I'll gladly go into more detail if you tell me what fields you already have and what identifying information is present.

Is there a way to fast forward through audio files? Like a lecture class I am taking? thanks!

Is there any way to fast forward through audio files in I-Tunes? I have some lecture recordings that I need to review.... If you cannot do it in I-Tunes, is there a program you could recommend?
Thanks!

None that I'm aware of but with the iPhone SDK - software developers kit being released at the end of next month, a 3rd party software developer may provide an avenue for this function and you can leave Apple feedback about this here.

Compressed files does reduce in file size.

Help please trying to send a pdf file 22MB and compressing it does not reduce the size.
How do i reduce the file size.

funlola,
By nature PDF files are already fairly optimized and compressed. Preview or Adobe Acrobat may be able to reduce the file size a bit more but at a cost of a noticably lower quality PDF. If a lower quality PDF is acceptable for your use-case then Carolyn's suggestion will work wonderfully and for free.
If the process of optimizing your PDF further produces a poor quality PDF, then you may be better off skipping email and exchanging the original large PDF using a better tool for the exchange of large files such as Dropbox.com or Gogle Drive.
Hope this helps,
Tim

Is there a way to convert REASON's .sxt files to LOGIC's .exs format???

Is there a way to convert REASON's .sxt files to LOGIC's .exs format???
From the NNXT sampler file format to the EXS24 format???

I have done it manually, and it takes a long time just for 1 patch.
Just the sample editing and naming takes hours!
Autosampler automates this process.
You can define how many velocity levels you need.
If a midi CC changes the sound in an interesting way, you can have Autosampler send the controller in increments and sample that.
At the end of it, you end up with a finished EXS instrument.
