Keynote iMovie

Hi. I created a couple slides with animation in Keynote. I then used File > Export to produce a MOV QuickTime file. In iMovie, I then imported the QuickTime file in order to use the animated slides in a video. All this worked fine. But in iMovie, the top and bottom 10% of the slides are cut off. Any idea how to export slides from Keynote so that the full slides appear in iMovie? Thx

Found the solution to this. I was using a Keynote Theme with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the video in iMovie had a 16:9 aspect ratio. Selecting a Keynote Theme with a 16:9 aspect ratio solved the problem ...

should i come into the actual apple store or can you help online ?

Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
So to your problem, when you say:
"I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
Read this:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using.

Keynote/iMovie transparency

I don't seem to be able to successfully export animations from Keynote '09 with transparent backgrounds for use in iMovie.
I've tried three set-ups in Keynote:
1) background set to "none"
2) background set to "color" with 0% opacity
3) background set to "image" with a fully transparent PNG
I've exported to QuickTime with:
- "include transparency" checked
- "animation" compressor
- 30fps with auto key frames
- "millions+" colors
Set-ups 2 and 3 result in a .mov file with the background changed from white (as it appears in Keynote) to black. I assume this is an indication of actual transparency in the .mov file.
I then open iMovie 9.0.9 and import the .mov file with "optimize video" unchecked.
I drag the keynote clip from the event library onto my project clip and select "picture in picture." All this follows the tips and tutorials I have found for importing transparent animations. However, the clip appears with a solid black background where it should be transparent.
I'd really like to use Keynote to produce animated overlays in iMovie. Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?

Transparency is not available in Keynote version 6 at present. It might be included in the update to be released later next year, time will tell.

What's best workflow for Keynote iMovie iDVD Burning

I create a slideshow in Keynote each year for our 5th graders. I then export as a QT movie and import it into iMovie to add chapters markers, titles, credits, etc. I then export as a QT movie again to pull into iDVD. I then add Menu's and then burn to a dvd.
It seems like a lot of re-encoding. It gets encoded coming out of Keynote, then again coming out of iMovie, then yet again when creating the DVD out of iDVD.
Is this the proper workflow or is there something else that I should be doing?
By the way, which is best codec to export the video? There's multiple choices when exporting from Keynote and then the same choices when exporting from iMovie. Is there an ideal codec when the ultimate product is a standard-definition DVD?
I'm running iWork '09 and iLife '11.

You should be able to use the same encoding for out of Keynote and for all editing in iMovie and then out of iMovie so the only additional transcoding should be the final mpg-2 encoding in iDVD which actually creates a DVD.

If i open pages, numbers, keynote, iMovie, aperture, and iPhoto, they automatically update, even if there is no update

Hi, my name is farrell ivander, i have problems, if i open my keynote, numbers, pages, aperture, iMovie, or iPhoto, and garageband, they automatically get updated, even if there is no updates available from the app store... could somebody tell me what the heck should i do except go off-line when opening them? and i have tested it on my friend's mac, it doesn't need updates every time i open it! why is it just me?
(the only thing that can stop is that if i go offline mode)
macbook pro, 13 inch, late 2011, intel i5 2.4 GHz storage: 500 GB, memory, 4 GB.

What is your MacOS X version and Aperture version?
What are your "System Preferences > App Store" settings? Have you enabled automatic updates?
Do you have older versions of the apps in question installed? Perhaps on a different part ions of you system drive?

Why keynote is not free?

why I can't download keynot, iMovie or iPhoto for free??

Try signing out of the store and then back in again.

Multiple Keynote presentations onto iDVD?

I am trying to create a DVD with multiple keynote presentations? I first created multiple QT files and created a DVD that worked well, but did not allow for manual progression when played form the DVD (even with the option selected on QT file creation). Manual progression works when the file is played from my computer but not when played from DVD.
Next, I tried to export the files directly from Keynote to iDVD. However, I can't figure out how to get multiple files onto the same iDVD file.
Any thoughts on how I can get accomplish:
1) Multiple Keynote files onto the same DVD, with
2) manual progression through slides when running from the DVD?
Thanks!

You have some great suggestions here. Very good info from both the above posts.
There is a workaround but it doesn't involve iDvd. Rather it involves Keynote => iMovie as a .dv stream => minidv camcorder/ tape => set top DVD Recorder in sessions.
Here’s a possible solution that involves exporting each individual keynote movie as a QT file / Movie to the desktop.
From there you export each file as a .dv stream to your camcorder (assuming you have a minidv camera and iM6 which allows you to export back to the camera. Like this:
Click Here:
You record all the movies to minidv tape.
Connect the camcorder to the digital FW input on a set top DVD Player / Recorder (in my case a Daewoo DVR07). Set the recorder to record in Sessions to rewrite able DVD-RW media and export one QT movie per session. Each session will have it’s own Basic Menu.... like this:
Click here
You’d have to use the remote control to play each movie and pause when appropriate.
Btw .... it might also be possible to use Toast to record these QT files/movies in separate sessions onto one DVD.

Free iMovie for newly purchased iPad mini

I just bought a brand new iPad mini, and according to the keynote, iMovie should be available for free download, but I still see it for 4,49€. Any ideas why?

Hello Alfred,
Thanks for replying.
I will check the store today. My question, how can the "accidental damage" get into new products?
Why a buyer should incur the damage caused by some unknown?

Why I cant find Pages, Numbers, Keynote apps for free on my New Iphone 6?

I am using a new Iphone 6 with iOS8.1
I cant find the apps like Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie etc for free? Aren't they free?

If you do not see them preinstalled - you can download them from the App store - yes they should be gratis

Blank screen on Apple tv with Keynote slideshow

Today I couldn't get to play my presentation in slideshow mode neither on Keynote nor on PowerPoint app From my iPad Air through Apple TV. Slides are visible until you switch to slideshow. Then everything disappears and you see just a black screen. The only solution I could find was play through OneDrive in the browser. You get it on a smaller scale but at least I could use all the animations.
Any ideas?

I Had a similar experience, powerpoint app, keynote, imovie all blank when presenting. Even though ATV and ipad had latest updates.Did a hard reset, hold home button and off button down until you see a black screen and apple logo, of my ipad and all fine now.

I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

iMac 21" Intel
year 2013
OSX10.10.1
I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
I am utterly disappointed.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks.
Carlo

Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

Motorola v545 no longer syncs with version 2.4

Hello everyone,
I have a Motorola V545, and had over the last couple of OS updates, managed to get iSync to recognise my phone following some excellent instructions on this forum. These are:
1. Open a finder window and browse to the Applications directory (and quit iSync if it's running).
2. Command-click on iSync and select "Show Package Contents"
3. Go to Contents/Plugins/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/Plugins/PhoneModelsSync. phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist
4. Do a find for V600 and change all instances of "V600" to "V545".
5. Duplicate the MOTV600.tiff image and rename MOTV545.tiff
6. Fire up isync and add a new device
This worked perfectly until the latest OS update. Previously, I think I was running version 2.2, now it is 2.4. Now, when I ask it to add a new device, it says 'No devices found'.
When following the instructions, it changed 8 instances of v600 to v545 - the same amount as previously, as best I can recall.
Does anyone know why this no longer works, or what I have to to get my phone recognised?
Many thanks.

I think I fixed my problem with iSync 2.4 not working after the 10.4.9 update... then found another problem which also seems fixable.
The following were other steps I tried first, which didn't fix the problem but might be tried if the solution below doesn't work on its own:
* Delete snycState.plist and sync.plist from ~/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/iCal/
* Removed device from iSync
* Renamed phone on the phone's Bluetooth menu
* Added device (under new name) in iSync
But what finally got the the sync to work was when I looked at the ownership and permissions on my ~/Users/[user]/Library/Phones/[device name].phone file.
My username (as the owner) said "Read & Write," but when I clicked to look at Details, it also had my username as a group, which only had "Read" permissions.
I changed this Group permission to "Read & Write," the Others permission to "Read & Write," and clicked the button to apply changes to enclosed items. The next sync finally worked.
However, the very next sync after THAT failed again. If you find the same, then try this...
With tinkering, I found it would sync my Address Book, and it would sync two of my five iCal calendars. Most likely, because these were two small calendars that did not have repeating events (or the repeating events were detached). But when I would include any of the other three calendars, the sync would fail with the same error message as before.
The fix seems to be: export the troublesome calendars, and re-import as new calendars. When I did this, they were synced without a problem.
Given the timing of the problem -- popping up just after our new Daylight Savings Time switch -- I suspect the problem has something to do with this. Perhaps a fresh export/import clears up this confusion.

No audio out on internal speakers or headphones from external device

I'm using an intel iMac 17" I tried to plug in an external cassette deck, and listen to it through the internal speakers. Even though all system prefs for audio work as expected, and I can see the audio meters on screen operating, nothing will induce it to play sound either through the internal speakers, or headphones.
The audio is certainly going in there, as it recorded perfectly in iMovie. The internal speakers work perfectly for alerts, iTunes, the web, everything. But no external device will work.
I've tried an iPod, a microphone, and a cassette deck, all with the same result. I've launched Garage Band as this can upset the midi player, but it's fine. I've visually checked the settings, no problem.
As an alternative I also tried an iMic and stopped using the jack input on the iMac. Still nothing. I plugged headphones into the iMic, nothing. No audio will play unless it's already on the Mac. External audio goes in there and dies before it reaches the speakers.
All the visual info I get in the sound panel regarding connection options, output etc, is exactly as expected, I just can't get any audio at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions? There's only a few day's warranty left...
Many thanks.

Hello David,
Thanks for the pointer. I looked at the website for Linein, and I already have Audio Hijack pro installed, which contains this application. When I ask AH to record the system audio, the volume meters are dead, I hear nothing, and record nothing - unlike iMovie.
When I do ask it to record, I can hear a thumping sound from the Mac speakers, but nothing else.
I'm really desperate for a solution to this; I can't understand why it's so hard to achieve. If it was just the line in socket I'd suspect that, but a USB connection as well? I don't understand that at all.

How to remove "Enter your name and password for the server"

Hi there,
I have a Mac Book Pro from 2008. I have mountain lion running on it.
We used to have a server (pc) in the office that I connected to and stored all of my photos and videos etc.
We have jsut upgraded to a new server and this connects great!
However, ever since the switch, when i open keynote, imovie or iphoto i get the error message:
"Enter your name and password for the server "192.168.0.10".
(it is trying to connect to the old server)
I have tried a bunch of fixes online but i dont think they are relevant for this issue - or i cant find what they want tme to change or remove.
Any help would be great! having this pop up while trying to create things slows everything down.
thanks!!

Hi Tom! Welcome to the Apple discussions. You have posted in the forum dedicated to the application Appleworks. Your question is better to post in the forum for MacOs 10.6. In that forum you have several sub-forums to choose from.

Poor quality still frames

Does anyone know why still frames are such poor quality?
I'm constructing a movie using stills, and if a Ken Burns effect is used, the picture changing to the next photo as soon as the effect finishes can be a little jarring on the eye.
To counteract this, I've been adding a still frame of 1-2 seconds either side of the main Ken Burns adjusted photo to act as a 'cushion' (like you can in Photo to Movie). You can see the difference in quaity in iMovie, so it does of course remain when you have exported to Quicktime.
Is there a better method of doing this than still frames? I notice that the overlap transition helps by hanging on to the end of the previous frame, but it's not ideal.
Any suggestions?

Karl, I swear you live inside everyone's browser, with a manual the like of which the rest of us have never seen!
As usual, among the quickest to answer on these forums, and absolutely correct.
It worked like a dream - another major headache removed. Many thanks indeed.
