Keynote Import

Every time I try to either Export or Share my Keynote to iDVD I simply get a blanks slide on my desktop and a blank page on iDVD. The presentation is 22 pages with a soundtrack. I believe I am htting the right buttons for Export as well as trying to Share but the same response both ways. I suspect I am missing some sort of setting.

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
Yours Bengt W

    Alas I don't see that option — having said that I looked at mime types and legacy encoders and nada, but oddly when I went to check the QT version (7.6 by the way) in the "About Quicktime" (accessed via the *System Preferences*) it cycles thru various codecs and "Macromedia Flash Player" is one of them... guess it doesn't access anymore. :o(

  • 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

  • No sound with Keynote imported video

    My boss is planning to show a Keynote presentation from her iPad when she takes it overseas, but we've run into a weird problem.  I imported the video into Photos as per the approved way, and when I play it in Photos on the iPad, it has audio.  However, when I go into the Keynote presentation and add the video, there is no sound.  Does anyone know what's going on?  Clearly it's not a problem with the clip since it plays the audio in other apps on the iPad.

    Just to add to larryfromauckland's post . . .
    If you find that moving the side switch does not work, make sure that switch is set to "mute" in your general settings rather than "lock rotation."  This is under the General settings tab about 2/3 the way down the page.  I tried this fix and it didn't work initially, then realized the setting for the side switch was set to "lock rotation" instead of "mute."  Once I swtiched it and made sure the switch was moved so that red dot was not showing, my audio worked just fine.
    Hope that helps.

  • Keynote Import Eror / Failure

    I created a beautiful presentation in Keynote on my Mac and imported it into my iPad and had it working. Then I deleted it from my iPad, made some more changes on my Mac version and now when I try to import it into my iPad Keynote I get the error "Presentation couldn't be imported. Unknown import error". Any suggestions? I hate to lose all this work and not be able to use my iPad for the presentation.

    The problem started when I added a text box onto a picture slide with content copied from Wikepedia. There is something embedded in the file now and deleting the text box or the slide does not fix it and I cannot import the presentation into Keynote on the iPad.

  • 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.

  • Keynote import pngs wrong size

    Keynote 6.1 inserts PNG images with transparency at 50% of the proper size.
    This has caused me hours of frustration to figure out...  If there is no transparency, images import just fine.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/bs8td4f7y723f0t/close%402x.png   -- inserts at 26pt.
    Insert [email protected], linked above, into Keynote 6.1 and it should insert at 26 pt instead of 52 pt.
    However, insert [email protected], linked below, and it will insert correctly at 52pt.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/qcn5qq67nbrute5/expand%402x.png   -- inserts correctly, at 52pt.
    Both are reported to be saved a the same dpi according to photoshop, and both images saved in the same manner within Photoshop as PNG.
    I noted this issue doesn't seem to involve transparency.. that was a wrong assumption.  I can't see what is causing this discrepancy.
    Ideas?

  • Keynote import details

    The iPhone5 with its fast processor and its 16:9 screen ratio turns out to be an excellent tool - together with a lightning to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable - to bring a 1920x1080 Keynote presentation to an LCD or Plasma screen. The quality is truly amazing. I produce professional-grade Keynote presentations, so I believe I know the do's and dont's of the software pretty well. Yet, from time to time, when I export a presentation via iTunes to my iPhone5 I am getting a warning as soon as the import is finished. It says for instance that some image formats or certain media do not display on iOS or that a specific font is missing and that subsequently the text may look different. That's fine, I do appreciate this. However... that is all the info I get. It does not tell me which particular slides are - so to say - problematic. With a 200-slides presentation it can be quite difficult to track any specific issues/errors/problems. Is there a way to find out - whenever Keynote warns you about these compatibility issues - which slide, which slide number, needs to be checked?

    There is no facility to provide specific details of errors in Keynote.
    What you should do, is only use compatible objects and media in Keynote.

  • Keynote import trouble - anyone?

    Keynote crashes during import of PowerPoint...help!!
    My firm recently upgraded from Win2000 and an older Office version to WinXP and Office 2003, and now I can no longer open PowerPoint files in Keynote like I did before. I suspect (know) the Office upgrade has something to do with it, but I can´t find anything about this in the forum. Am I the only one having this problem? I´ve reported it to Apple, with no feedback so far.
    As a Mac newbie, and a happy one until now, I would really appreciate if someone out there could share some of their wisdom on the subject.

  • Does Keynote Import Flash SWF Files?

    Hello,
    I do a lot of presentations and I often need to import Flash SWF files and play them inside my presentation. I currently do this on Windows with PowerPoint.
    Does Keynote '09 import Flash SWF files?
    Thanks!

  • PowerPoint Keynote import

    I recently bought an iPad2. I have also purchased iWorks Keynote. I want to import some PowerPoint presentations to run on the iPad. I need to have touch points on the imported PowerPoint screens that will allow me to navigate to other screens in the presentation. It would also be nice to launch another application or link to internet site from a touch point (button). I can't find the resouces to create or enable these functions in Keynote. Can you point me at them?

    Sure, you can download a zip file I created which contains two presentations from one of our products - one which Keynote happily translates, the other which Keynote chokes on as described above.
    http://www.hrwtechsupport.com/downloads/ppt-keynote.zip
    You'll unzip to find two folders, each with a .ppt file within.
    Unfortunately, reworking our previously published presentations into keynote format is cost-prohibitive to an obscene degree - we're talking hundreds, if not over a thousand, media-rich presentations. Ouch. Not to mention the distribution nightmares too.
    Our fantasy is that Keynote will be patched to correct the issue. With our customers adopting Macs and Keynote by the truckload - sometimes tens of thousands of users at a time - they're led to believe (by Apple, not by us) that Keynote will work with PowerPoint presentations, as per Keynote's selling points, user guide, etc. But then, when Keynote doesn't play nice with the PowerPoint presentations published by us that they already own... uh oh.

  • Can Keynote import alpha or Key?

    I want to key the background in a video and wonder if it is possible to import this into Keynote?
    Regards

    Does your slideshow have animation in any of the slides? Are you using a unique transition between slides?
    One way to get the slideshow into a MMe Gallery is to select all of the pages and do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. This will create a jpeg of each slide in the slideshow and import it into an iPhoto album. There you can create a MobileMe Gallery with those files.
    Another is to export the slideshow as a QT movie file, import it into iPhoto and create a MMe gallery with that movie file.

  • Can Keynote import AppleWorks Drawings?

    Subject says it all.  Since AppleWorks will finally die with the advent of Lion, and since Keynote is relatively inexpensive, I'm sort of hoping it represents a path forward.

    According to this page, yes, you can open an AppleWorks presentation document in Keynote.

  • How to import images into keynote without losing quality?

    Whenever I import (either by dragging or through keynote import) high resolution images (either jpg or png) at high resolution (say 1920x1280) into any keynote presentation (1280x1024) it somehow automatically gets compressed into a really ugly lowres image. This, in my case, makes it impossible to present designs properly. Is this a setting or am I importing them wrong?

    I think this is your answer.
    Images in JPEG format remain JPEG images; other formats are converted to TIFF. After an image has been downsampled, you can’t restore it to its original size by clicking Original Size in the Metrics inspector. To avoid downsampling and use images at their original size, turn off automatic downsampling inKeynote preferences.

  • Can Keynote for iOS import free-form shapes?

    Can iOS Keynote import and edit freeform shapes created in Mac OSX Keynote?

    By the way, you can select any custom object and change it's colors (stroke and fill) to one of those supported using the "Paintbrush" icon. You just can't edit the outline of the shape.
