Keynote Import slide transition timers

I was told to post here Re: Keynote Import slide transition timers
Can the transition times for a presentation can be inserted with automator  or can it be imported from a CSV sort of file.
The way I did this in Powerpoint was I created a static array with all slides timer I wanted, later looped through each slide and set the timer. can similar thing can be done in Keynote with applescript
Re: Keynote Import slide transition timers
I also posted here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27495413/applescript-to-set-transition-timers
I got one example but that gives me errors.
Thanks for your help

Here is the solution for people who care, i figured out a way with some help from stackexchange forum
tell application "Keynote"
    set ss to slides of document 1
    set c to count of ss
    set timerlist to {5, 4, 3, 9, 6}
    set n to 1
    repeat until n > c
        set timer to item n of timerlist
        set transition properties of item n of ss to {transition delay:timer, automatic transition:true, transition effect:no transition effect, transition duration:0.5}
        set n to n + 1
    end repeat
end tell

    You do it sort of like the way you arrange your apps on the iPad and how you drag apps into groups. You do the same technic with your Keynote slides.

  • Script keynote to change slide transitions

    any ideas how to script keynote to change all the slide transitions across multiple documents to the same thing? I've got 200 or so documents with the wrong transition set so it would be great not to have to do this manually.
    thanks

    you will tap and hold on the slide in side bar you wish to promote or demote, and slide it above or below the frame you wish to promote/demote.

  • Automatic slide transition timing

    I'm putting together a presentation with multiple actions on each slide. The actions are all timed and I want each slide to be displayed for exactly 30 seconds before transition to the next slide.
    But I can't figure out how to set this up. Is the automatic slide transition delay timed from the when the slide appears or when the last action finishes? I tried working it out both ways and it doesn't make sense.
    e.g
    I have a slide where a picture appears after 20 seconds. I then set the auto slide transition to 10 seconds. I expected the slide to change at 30s but it actually does it nearer 40s?
    What's going on?
    Thanks

    I tried a new experiment with a fresh, new Keynote presentation. Plain white background. Three words that animate, each On Click. Move In, Bottom to Top. .2 second speed. Dragged my WAV narration file to the slide. Recorded the presentation, animating each word manually at the appropriate point in the narration. Playing back the recording in Keynote looks and sounds as intended. Exported to QuickTime. Narration starts, first animation doesn't appear in time. As soon as first animation appears, audio cuts off completely. Other two animations appear, with no audio.
    I even tried a different font this time (a standard OS X font). This can't be a problem with my presentation file.
    Something is wrong with the QuickTime exporting function. I'd love to know if anyone has had success (visuals and audio in sync) exporting to QuickTime after importing your narration (or sounds) by dropping an audio file on the slide.

  • Slide transition animation and image in the slide master

    Hi,
    I placed an image in one of the slide masters, because I want that image static in the slide background. But when I add a transition to the slides made with that master, the image I placed is animated too. Should I do something else in the slide master so the image I placed is not affected by the slide transition?
    Macbook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite and Keynote 6.5
    Regards.

    There is no such thing as an object transition, objects are animated using Builds or Actions:   Inspector > Animate
    I'm referring to "Object Effects" in the Transitions pull down (Object Push, Object Revolve, Object Flip, etc). So yes, technically there is an Object (transition) effect where objects transition between slides.
    Backgrounds do not animate when using Builds or Actions.
    True. However, if you use the last version of Keynote (before 6.5 and the Yosemite update) and place an image on the master slide it will not animate when applying many of the Object Effects.
    When an action or or Build is applied to an objet, the slide or the background does not animate, only the object animates.
    Same point as I made above.
    No EnzoFT said,  "when I add a transition to the slides made with that master, the image I placed is animated too."
    EnzoFT was using a slide transition therefore any object on a slide will be included in the effect.
    If you try what I said above in the previous version of Keynote, it will not animate. However, I found out how to make an image on the master slide NOT animate in Keynote 6.5 (I made a comment earlier in the thread about this). Open the master slide, select the Slide Layout, change the background to Image Fill, and the image won’t animate from one slide to the next when you apply an Object Effects transition to a slide.
    That is a very narrow minded personal opinion.
    Selecting a transition, Build or Action should be based on how it enhances the presentation and what you want to animate; the slide, the object or both.
    Narrow minded personal opinion?!? Do you really need to go there? I was simply making an observation.
    Use Builds or Actions.
    There has been no change;  Transitions affect the whole slide, Builds and Actions affect objects on a slide.
    If you try what I mentioned above there has been a change. Thanks for offering advice, but doing a little research in the future before replying to issues will help with providing more accurate information.

  • Making slide transition appear in build overwiev

    In the new Keynote '13, I'm not able to set a slide transition animation, appear after a previous build. The slide transition doesn't even appear in the buildoverwiev window.
    I have a headline, I have assagined an build out animation to, this starts with a click, after that has happen I would like the slidetransition to happen automatically. But as it is now I can't choose to have the slidetransition happen after previous, as it dosen't appear in the buildoverwiev. I can only force the slidetransition with another click.
    Any fix to this?

    To be correct; the latest Keynote is version 6.1 not 13.
    Slide transitions are not builds, they are a separate type of effect. Only Builds appear in the Builds Order List. Builds are effects for objects, transitions are effects for slides.
    The effects you want can easily be achieved however;
    to add the build to the object on the slide:
    click the object on the slide to select,   Inspector > Animate > Build Out > Add an effect
    to add a transition for the slide:
    click the slide in the Navigator pane to select,   Inspector > Animate > Add an effect >
    select a transition effect
    to action the  transition after the build:
    in the Start Transition  dropdown menu, seect Automatically

  • Quicktime Export Settings for Keynote Import? Keynote freaks out 16:9 clips

    I have 1440 x 1080i HDV footage imported into the latest FCP that is getting exported into Keynote. I notice that most of the exports and imports into Keynote end up doing weird stuff, like reducing the resolution, or turning it into a 4;3 format even though it is 16:9 on the export.
    I don't care about the file size with Keynote, so I don't want to compress it any further than how HDV ruins footage to begin with.
    So far the only thing that has worked is exporting it as a ProRes file.
    Do any of you have recommendations on individual clip FCP export settings/workflows?
    Thanks!

    Yes, the Keynote presentation slides/project is set for 1920x1080, the reason is I'm outputting via a high lumens projector that natively projects at 1920x1080p.
    Even though a Macbook Pro does not have a screen that size, the Macbook can send out even larger than 1920x1080, but I am limiting the output to the native screen res of the projector.

  • Powerpoint Animations Flicker Between Slide Transitions

    Version
    Captivate 6.0.1.240
    Output type
    Flash SWF, and MP4
    I have a powerpoint (2010) I imported into Captivate.  The slides do contain animations, mostly fade in, and fly in.  No exit animimations, all are enterance.  Captivate is using the animation times set in PowerPoint as I expect, and that works well for me.  I did add narration audio using Captivate for each slide.  After I have everything set, I produce the project as MP4 successfully.
    However, then I view the video when the slides transition to a slide that has animations, there is a quick flicker that shows the animations for the slide even though they are not really seen until sometime into the slide.  This effect is very distracting and takes away from the impact of the slides having seen a flicker of the exposed animations.  It almost seems it is adding a video frame of the final slide.
    I have tryed the following:
    -Reapplied the patch
    -Added fade slide transistion in Captivate (This only makes the flicker last longer)
    -Tried the different produce settings
    -Tryed produce to Flash, but same effect.
    I am looking for a solution to this, or a workaround I should be concidering.  My final option is to pull the MP4 into Premier to remove the frames, which is not why I bought Captivate.

    I am seeing the same thing. I just recently updated to ver 6. This is very much not good.
    Also, by buttons keep resizing themselves to little tiny boxes if I change any properties.
    Please fix these fast!

  • Varying the Slide Transition Time Interval in Slide Show with Music

    I have this old iPhoto 4.0.3 version in my PowerBook. Is it possible to create a slide show that's put to music? More importantly, can the transition from slide to slide be varied (e.g., one slide changes after 4 seconds; the next slide changes after 10 seconds; the slide after changes after 6 seconds, etc.) or am I limited to one consistent slide transition interval? Do I need to upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto? Or do I need to use an entirely different application to do varying slide transition time intervals?
    Thank you.
    Michael

    No, you can't vary the time interval in the same slide show.
    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

  • Slide Transition

    Hi
    I have recently updated to Keynote 6.2.  Using this I have opened a presentation created with an earlier version of Keynote.  The first slide transition is supposed to be onclick.  However as soon as I run the presentation, the first slide is transitioning to the next slide almost immediately.
    I have tried to reset the transition, but to no effect.   Anyone any ideas please?
    Thanks

    Right, Thanks for that - I was unaware that there was an issue.  Of course, having opened the presentation with 6.2, 5.3 wont open it again.

  • "Push" slide transitions with overlapping photos

    I have two slides. Slide one has a photo on the right and slide two has the other half of the photo on the left. I am trying to have a seamless slide transition where it appears as though it is one photo stretched over both slides. I saw this done on the demo for "Keynotethemepark.com, but have yet to figure out how to do it correctly. Can you guys help?
    By the way ... keynote theme park is excellant. Thanks for your help.

    The only way I know is to copy the same image into each slide. Use the "X" & "Y" coordinates to make sure the image is in corresponding locations. Then use the Mask (Shift,Control,M) to crop the images so the seam matches perfectly.
    You should be able to adjust to make the image appear seamless.
    Good luck.

    Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

    winkhi
    Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
    What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
    Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
    Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
    Just some thoughts for now.

  • Problems with import slides powerpoint

    Hello,
    I have a problem with import slides from the powerpoint, when
    I try to import, the computer blow.
    What I can do?

    there have been lots of issues regarding this, however, I
    have found that if I export my ppt as individual jpeg slides I can
    then use the "insert > Slide > Image Slide" command to bring
    in my ppt slides, I have tried everything else as well but what was
    happening to me was Captivate 3 was losing all of my text and text
    animation. Now my animation is not critical, however, the text is
    very important of course. So now I have stagnat slides, a bit
    boring but at least I was able to finish my project.
    Hope this helps.
    Tony :)

  • Problems Importing Slides / Captivate 3

    I have a series of 6 related Captivate projects, plus one I
    use as a template. Since there's some shared content, I need to be
    able to copy slides from one project to another, but I am having
    serious import problems. When I try to import slides from one
    project to another, typically what happens is the process runs
    (slowly) and then I get one additional blank slide (regardless of
    how many I attempted to import). Or nothing at all.
    I have tried everything I can think of - importing slides
    only (no objects), importing to and from only from very small
    projects, excluding question slides from the import, importing
    small sets of slides--contiguous and not, clearing the cache,
    cleaning up my disk, rebooting...
    I am stumped. Is something hosed? Any ideas what else I can
    try? I have in the past had no trouble w/importing, even within
    this set of files...
    I am using Captivate 3 & XP.
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried out one of Rick's (Captiv8r's) suggestions in an
    answer to another post, and so far it seems to have been a miracle
    cure for this and some other ills. The solution involves removing
    or renaming this file: captivate_v30.dat
