Keynote – 2D chart grow effect?

Hi, i've made a graph that i want to animate with the grow effect that is available for 3D graphs. Only i want the graph to be 2D. Any way to work around this?
Heres a video of basically what i want to achieve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hAlBvw-UR5Y (just the graph movement, don't worry about the faded edge and text movement etc.)
Urgent, thanks in advance for all help!

Hi there,
I had the same problem, and I don't think Keynote offers a grow build for 2D pie charts. What I did was to convert the chart into 3D, move it to centre position using the rotate knob and the set the depth of the chart (inspector -> charts -> bottom) to zero. This almost looks like a 2D pie chart and was sufficient to me, hope this helps.

No 3D chart anti-aliasing with 3D Grow effect on Mac Mini

Today I have just purchased a Mac mini for the main purpose of rendering Keynote animated 3D charts for a doco I'm editing. I am using Keynote '08 (4.0.3).
As it turns out, anti-aliasing works on the 3D charts as long as there is no '3D Grow' effect on them. However, if I apply a '3D Grow' effect and view the slideshow, I get the jaggies and no anti-aliasing, even when the animation has finished. I also get no anti-aliasing when exporting as Quicktime in any format.
I get anit-aliasing on my Mac Pro at work, but not on this Mac Mini so I wonder if there is some incompatibility with Keynote and the Mac mini graphics capabilities.

Hi, thanks for your response.
Actually, I have no transitions grayed out, although for the build effects on Charts, 'Flame' is indicated as unable to be used on this computer.... so you're right, it doesn't look good. Strange that I can use a build effect like Sparkle or Shimmer which are anti-aliased but for 3D grow, some growing blocks of a chart can't be anti-aliased
I guess it's back to the store to try and exchange this mac mini for an Imac.

Spry grow effect glitch.

I'm trying to do a gallery something similar to:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/
but the grow effect on my Spry page is glitchy in the sense that it
jumps/shakes on rollover and sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't
mouseout. You can see what I'm talking about here:
http://www.tinsley.com/www/test/
. Not sure what the problem is other than I'm using tables and not
div's but not sure if that would cause this. The code DW is
generating for the effect is the following:
<a href="images/work/large/AdMNIJul.jpg" class="thickbox"
title="Your fly is down and you couldn't be happier."
rel="gallery">
<img src="images/work/medium/AdMNIJul.jpg" alt="thumb"
width="20" height="20" onmouseover="MM_effectGrowShrink(this, 500,
'20px', '70px', false, false, false)"
onmouseout="MM_effectGrowShrink(this, 300, '70px', '20px', false,
false, false)" onclick="MM_effectGrowShrink(this, 500, '70px',
'20px', false, false, false)" />
</a>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Gallery using spry grow effect that targets the clicked thumbnail

Hello. I'm trying to build a gallery with thumbnails that,
when clicked, grow to display the full-size image. I created an xml
spry data set and I'm using a spry:repeat to go through each row of
the data set and create the thumbnail. Then I attach the grow
effect, but since the target is each of the thumbnails, I need an
unique id for each. I tried using id="thumb_{ds_RowID}" (and
ds_RowCount and ds_RowNumber) but it doesn't work.
I guess ds_RowID is not valid outside the spry:region, but
perhaps there's a way around this?
Can anyone give me any sort of advice on how I could make
this work? Thank you.

Hello Dexter,
By looking in the code I think the problem appears because of
borders that are not defined in the CSS and on IE they are reported
as NaN. Try to change the border definition for the element to 0px
explicitly.
Could you show me a link where you have the page with the
problem or give me the CSS definition of the element that is
initially invisible so I can test this bug and do the corrections.

Is it possible to change direction of growth for the grow effect?

I would like to use the grow effect on a page with a few images.
The images are going to be floated rigth of the text that goes with them and the problem I have is that the images grows in part to the right of the visible window and are partially out of view creating an horizontal scrolling bar.
I used the default value for var growFromCenter; which is true. I changed it also to false but the results are even worst because it seems to grow from the top left corner of the image to the right and bottom.
I could not figure out, I am a begginer at javascript, if there is some parameter that I could modify to make it grow toward the right of the thumbnail position.
Thank you

I achieved the effect I was looking for by changing the following in the SpryEffects.js
I am using growFromCenter set as true.
changed
toPos.x = startOffsetPosition.x + (originalWidth - toRect.width) / 2.0;
to
toPos.x = startOffsetPosition.x + (originalWidth - toRect.width);
to achieve the growth to the right of the thumbnail image.
Still I would like to hear comments about my solution and any other suggestions or alternatives to achieve the same result.
Although many of the variables are easy to understand by their names others are not so obvious to me. Is there a resource where I can find a description of the variables used in SrpyEffects.js
Thank you.

Grow Effect with "useCSSBox: true" Problem

Good day,
I am using the spry grow effect with the “useCSSBox:
true”. This works fine in the example( example 5) that comes
with spry(Samples directory->effects)
The problem occurs when the window is initially hidden like
“Grow example 3.1” and it goes form 0% to 100%.
Spry.Effect.Grow('example5', {duration: 1000, from: '0%',
to: '100%', toggle:true, useCSSBox: true});
Then I get an Error on line 1218 char 3 in the IE and nothing
happen.
Can somebody help me or is it a bug
Thanks in advance for any reaction

Spry Gallery Demo Grow effect problems

Im learning and trying to recreate the spry gallery demo with
the growing thumbnails.
I have replicated pretty much all the code and used the same
onmouseover gallery.js and spryeffects.js but I just get an error
on page and no grow.
If I use the attribute panel and use the grow effect it does
work but the thumbnails around the one growing are pushed around
instead of the growing thumbnail appearing on top.
I'm stuck!
My code for the thumnail region is here:
<div id="thumbcontainer" spry:region="dsGallery">
<div spry:repeat="dsGallery"
onmouseover="GrowThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0],
'75', '75');"
onmouseout="ShrinkThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0]);">
<img src="thumbnails/{@thumbpath}" alt="" width="32"
height="32" id="tn{ds_RowID}" style="left: 0px; right: 0px;"
spry:setrow="dsGallery" class="thumbImage"/>
</div>
</div>
Any suggestions

I'm confused. The example for Spry gallery DOESN'T use an
anchor tag around the thumbnails... In your article and in some
posts, you say that the structure is:
<div id="thumbnails">
<div class="thumbnail">
<a href="image.jpg"><img src="image.jpg"
/></a>
</div>
</div>
However, I downloaded Spry_1_6_1_022408 and copied the
example thumbnails element & content verbatim:
<div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos dsGalleries
dsGallery">
<div spry:repeat="dsPhotos"
onclick="HandleThumbnailClick('{ds_RowID}');"
onmouseover="GrowThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0],
'{@thumbwidth}', '{@thumbheight}');"
onmouseout="ShrinkThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0]);">
<img id="tn{ds_RowID}" alt="thumbnail for {@thumbpath}"
src="galleries/{dsGalleries::@base}{dsGallery::thumbnail/@base}{@thumbpath}"
width="24" height="24" style="left: 0px; right: 0px;" />
</div>
<p class="ClearAll"></p>
</div>
NO ANCHOR TAG. Even if you look in the generated source,
there's no link surrounding the thumbnail image.
So I guess I am unclear as to how to apply your fix? Using
the 1.6.1 version, the sample function code you show doesn't match,
nor does it seem to reflect your modifications...
Any ideas? I managed to track down your post about the bug in
IE 7 (it exists in IE6, too) [the demo link (
http://mad.sweepingdesign.com/index.html)
goes to a page that says "It works!"]
The actual article can be found here, though the demo link
shows nothing:

Grow effect and growCenter

Hi -
I'm trying out the grow effect using the code from
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/preview/samples/effects/growThumbnails.html
to set the z-index, however when I insert the
growCenter:false switch
into the code, the image grows underneath the bordering
elements, which
have no z-index specified. Without the growCenter switch, the
grow and
toggle work perfectly. My images are to the left side of the
window,
however, so I need the image to grow from the upper left
corner.
I've copied the JavaScript verbatim from the example page,
and the only
modification I've made is this:
effects[targetElement.id] = new
Spry.Effect.Grow(targetElement,
{duration: 400, from: '100%', to: '500%', toggle: true,
growCenter:false, setup:setzindex, finish:resetzindex});
...where I've added the growCenter:false.
Has anyone else run into this, and is there a quick fix?
Thanks,
Rod

Hello Rod,
I think you should try into your CSS to put for every image
position: relative.

Keynote's transitions and effect in Powerpoint

Does anybody knows where I can find a list of Slide Transitions and Build effects of Keynote that really works in Powerpoint ?

iMovie's preference files can easily become corrupted. I can't say for sure, but that might be your problem. Try closing iMovie and then trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new preference file upon relaunch. Before relaunching, also do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac.

Plant Growing Effect

I've seen a number of commercials where the graphics look like plants growing, and sometimes are literally graphics of vines, with leaves popping up on them as if they're growing in timelapse.
I know this effect could be done in After Effects, but it seems like it would take a whole lot of keyframes.
Does anyone know of a better program to do these effects in? It seems something like 3d Studio Max, except 2d would be the best because then the objects aren't just still images, or video clips, but something you can change the properties that make it up. Is there a program that works well in conjunction with After Effects to pull off these type of effects?
Thanks.

Keynote 3 CHARTS DONT WORK BUGS BUGS AND MORE BUGS

X-Y chart: 1. CANNOT select symbols. SAME symbols, but different colors, goes to different series automatically. Change it, the changed symbol goes to all.
2. CANNOT SELECT UNITS of X and Y axes Separately.
3. Apparently this is because the x- and y - control combo buttons cannot be selected independently. They both turn on.
Interestingly, the first time Keynote 3 plots the series, each series has a different symbol. Try to edit the chart, and all series come back with a single symbol!

Keynote - Changing chart textures in a custom theme

I know there are a couple different textures for the charts in the regular themes. I have created a custom theme for my company and I would like to be able to change the texture on the charts. But I can't seem to figure out how to choose which texture is used.
Does anyone know how to do that?

Darin, this is covered in the Keynote User Guide (p.179 in the KN3 guide). To quote:
To set default chart attributes:
1 In the slide organizer, create a new slide based on the master slide you are designing.
2 Place a chart on the slide canvas.
3 Select the chart and set its attributes. (For more information, see Chapter 6, “Creating Charts.”)
4 To define defaults for another chart type, copy the chart and paste it on a new slide, change the chart type, and set the chart attributes. Repeat this step for each chart type.
5 When all the charts are formatted as you wish, select each of them, one at a time, and make the new properties the default by doing one of the following:
- To make the chart’s attributes the default for the current master, choose Format > Advanced > Define [chart] for Current Master.
- To make the chart’s attributes the default for all the masters in the current theme, choose Format > Advanced > Define [chart] for All Masters.
- To make the chart’s type the default for all master slides in the current theme, choose Format > Advanced > Make [chart] the Default Chart Type.
6 In the dialog that appears, specify the total number of series for which you are defining attributes.
7 Delete the charts from the slides.

Keynote '09: 2 transition effects per slide initiated by 2 hyperlinks?

I want to do a flip book. So far it looks great.
I'm using forward and back hyperlinks to transition b/w slides.
Problem: I can only get one style of transition effects/slide, so when I flip back to a previous slide the flip animation looks like I'm flipping forward.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok... After more scouring, I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2355380?start=0&tstart=0
Which had this part buried in it:
Remove the navigation (rip out the hyperlinks), set the presentation to run as a Normal Presentation, then Share>QuickTime>Fixed Timing. That's right, I said Fixed Timing. Turns out me and a lot of other people (and yes, some tier 1 support folk at Apple) misunderstood Fixed Timing. Fixed Timing lets a Normal presentation run with the audio and moves on to the next slide when the audio is finished - which is exactly what I wanted (the QuickTime controls automatically appear after the movie is rendered). Slide Duration is actually the delay between slides so set this to 1 second and Build Duration affects the timing of the Builds, but I also set this to 1 second since it was destined for web delivery (bandwidth!).
I struck thru the first part b/c that wasn't relevant to my issue, BUT... what WAS relevant was removing all of my carefully timed slide delay transitions, then using the above method. It worked flawlessly, as far as I can tell. It seems without documentation or help of any kind (that I could find) no one, even Apple support staff, knows what the true function of Fixed Timing is supposed to be. So hopefully, if someone else stumbles across this post, they'll be able to do the right thing, from the start and not waste hours with expensive or additional programs and work arounds.
Follow the above method and still get your timed HD quality Quicktime .mov.
