Keynote Skin for iOS presentations

Hi Folks
There is one thing that bothers me every time that I build a keynote presentation and send it to my iPad. As you all may know, there are several desktop keynote features that gets lost on translation.
If I look harder, I will probably find some guideline that tells me what feature I should and should not use to import my presentations to iPad. However, I think it would be much easier if Apple had some kind of skin selector or presentation template that would turn the desktop keynote into a mobile presentation builder. This way, the user would only see the features and transitions that can be properly imported to mobile keynote.
This would be very helpful. This way I'd not spend a lot of time preparing a presentation just to find out that all the hard work is lost in translation and I have to customize it all over again for iPad presentation.
Would this make sense? Is there any current solution for this that I'm not aware of?
Thanks
-Luciano

I would check with the [iPad Keynote forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1369], they may be able to help you better as we don't all have an iPad in this forum.

There are a lot on the app store and I don't know wich one is the best for arabic
Sorry, I don't know, perhaps someone else has tested them. I would recommend you make your presentation on real computer using PowerPoint.

Keynote animation for ios

Does anyone know of anyway to include a keynote animation in an iPad app.? The plan is to design a keynote animation and pass it over to our iOS iPad developers to include within the App build. Not sure if Keynote is the right way to go though. Anyone with ideas welcome.

Opening a shared "view only" Keynote in Keynote for iOS ?

I've shared a keynote with co-workers and given them view-only access. It really needs to be viewed either on a Mac or in Keynote for iOS so that it retains it's audio soundtrack and it's animations. My co-workers don't have Macs, but they do all have staff iPads. When I send them a link to share the view-only keynote, it tries to direct them to a Safari tab and iCloud.
Is there a way for them to open a view-only Keynote in the Keynote app for iOS? That's the only way they can see it with the designed animations and audio.

I figured it out and they DO play the background soundtrack on the iPad.
These were files created in Keynote 5.3 (iWork '09). However, since that version doesn't allow sharing to iCloud, I made a copy of the file and opened it in Keynote 6.2 (newest version). I shared it to iCloud as view-only.
When you click on the emailed link to the shared document, it opens a page in Safari on the iPad. This page includes a download link. Once you wait for the download process to finish, the normal "Open in. . ." popup (overlay at the top) appears on the Safari page and it then allows you to open the presentation in Keynote for iOS. This plays the file AND the background soundtrack. One of the presentations had an iTunes playlist as the background soundtrack. Another presentation had a "recorded narrative". Both files played with their audio intact.

How do I share a keynote presentation I created on my Mac with a friend who uses keynote for iOS?

I have created a presentation on my Mac in Keynote '13. It's in iCloud, and I'd like to share it with a friend who wants to work on it from her iPad with the latest Keynote for iOS installed. There seems to be no way in the world to make that happen. Airdrop: available on my Mac, not on her iPad, even though we're on the same wireless network. iCloud sharing: will open a link in the iPads safari, with a not very well working verison of iWork for iCloud. No way to download the file to the iPad and work in Keynote! Shared via Messages: the presentation will show up in messages and can be viewed in there, but it can NOT be opened in Keynote for iOS. Eventually I tried to move it out of iCloud, so I could just send it to her via mail. Guess what, Keynote '13 files can not be attached to mail?!?!?!?I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but working with Apple's userfriendly technology makes me feel like someone who has never touched anything electronic before in his life

Not done, sorry.
so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software

Presentation slides made in keynote or powerpoint do not play correctly on keynote for ios

I am working with 3 colleagues on some simple slides (foreign language vocabulary) that we build in the most recent versions of either keynote or powerpoint, then import into keynote for iOS. The slides simply play with the word, then the definition appears. Whichever appliction we use to build the slides (same thing happens with a PC/Powerpoint), about the first 10 or 15 slides work fine, then none of the following slides have the animation.
To repair, we have to select each slide individually and go to the 'wrench' settings, select the second word, and select animate.
Is this a bug with a fix?
Is there a way to repair all the slides in a file at once?
Thanks.

yup, that's a glitch (bug, feature?) in the QT export. You simply can't interrupt the playback on slides with a button until everything on that slide is done. Works fine in Keynote, doesn't work fine in QT.
The only way I know to fix it is to learn how to use LiveStage Pro and edit the sprite tracks so they work properly. And I have no idea how to do that.

Is it possible to import a pdf figure into Keynote for iOS?

Hi,
I was eager to use Kynote on my new iPad Air to make some presentations. But I use a lot of vector graphics in pdf and eps format for my figures. I found out that it is not possible to import such file format into Keynote for iOS. I understand that .eps might be quite outdated already and will never be supported but pdf?!
It would be best if I could insert my figures directly from Dropbox but since this doesn't seem possible I would be happy to download my pdf figures to iBook for example and import them from there. This doesn't seem to be possible either. Keynote allows me only to browse my photos and it is not possible to put pdf files in Photos.
Overall - big disappointment from Keynote for iOS to me. It is unusable for my needs and preferences.

You can import pdf's in keynote!
Make a pdf with Indesign or something like that. Make sure your pdf has the same resolution as your Ipad: For example, Ipad Air: 2048 x 1536 pixels. (In Indesign, you'll have to create a doc with intent Web (instead of print).
Then, use a file manager app, like File Manager Pro (https://itunes.apple.com/NL/app/id558270538?mt=8&affId=2083450) to copy the pdf's to your Ipad by using WIFI.
In the app File Manager Pro, just select your pdf and copy it.
Now start Keynote, create a new presentation and create a blank sheet.
Now you can paste, and your pdf will appear, transparant and exactly the same size as your presentation.

"Optimize video for IOS" in Keynote doesn't appear to work

I am trying to add video clips (.mov files from my Aperture library) into a Keynote presentation for later use on an iPad. When I do so by dragging from Aperture to Keynote, with the "Optimize for IOS" box in Keynote Preferences checked as is recommended in the article "HT6153: Keynote for Mac: Optimizing your presentation for iOS compatibility" a blank slide is added to Keynote. When I click on the slide & look at the file info under "Movie", it indicates that there is an .m4v file in the blank space.
If I do the same operation with the box unchecked, a slide with the .mov file is added & can be viewed both on my Mac mini & on my iPad (via iCloud).
Am I missing something or is this a bug?

My video files are in an Aperture library. Looking at the file info provided in Aperture, it says that the video files are already H.264 format, but 1080p resolution not 720p as indicated is optimum in the Keynote Preferences>Generel>Adding Movies checkbox. There is no CODEC info that I can find.
The thing that is confusing is that if I start with the box not checked & drag a video file into Keynote, a message pops up that says I should check the box. When I do that, the file that I dragged in continues to display correctly, but subsequent files do not. If I uncheck the box, any file that I drag in displays correctly. Any file that displays correctly on my Mac mini also works on my iPad.
Since things seem to work if I ignore the error message, I am inclined to leave well-enough alone & not to go thru the delete-reinstall process, unless you think that there is a good reason to do so.

When will we get support for equations in Keynote for iOS?

I was delighted to get an iPad a year ago, thinking that now I would not have to lug the laptop around to scientific meetings and lecture halls. But when I downloaded my carefully prepared Keynote presentation to the iPad, I learned that Keynote on the iPad does not support equations. So, back to the laptop, copy all the equations and re-insert them as uneditable PDFs.
But that's clearly only a work-around. If I need to change anything, it's back to the laptop for editing. And for a course consisting of a dozen lectures and a total of a thousand or so equations, the only sensible option is to lug around the laptop.
Surely (I thought) this is just an oversight that will be remedied in the next release of Keynote for iOS. But I've waited through several new releases, and still haven't seen support for equations added.
Not only that, but many quite ordinary fonts are not available in Keynote for iOS and there seems to be no way of adding them.
Any likelihood of seeing movement on this?

Nobody here can tell you Apple's plans, and they never release such info in advance. The best thing to do is to make sure they know what you want via

Compress image in keynote for iOS

how do i compress image in keynote for iOS? anyone has any idea?
i have added a few image taken from my new iPad and the keynote became such large file size that iCloud takes ages to upload. Hence i am looking for ways to compress each image in every slide to a lower resolution so as i could email my keynote to my colleagues too.
Anyone knows the how to or workaround?

I think I just found out what is wrong with the file sizes of KeyNote for iOS. In the Mac version of this app, there is a preference setting called "Copy theme images into document" which if checked includes about 7 MB of images for every theme used in the presentation(!). Normally this setting is kept off (thank god). However, in the iOS version of KeyNote, there is no such setting. Instead, that function is always ON(!!!). This means that every time you create a presentation in there, or edit one from the Mac version, it will grow by N times 7 MB, where N is the number of themes used in your presentation. Now, if you store your presentations on iCloud — like a good user should — then every single file will be sure to explode in size. And consequently take forever to upload and download from the cloud :-(
Any solution, anybody?

Videos in keynote for ios do not play audio...

I have two quicktime videos that I want to play in a keynote presentation. The videos and their audio play perfectly out of my Photos folder on the iPad but when I insert them in a Keynote presentation, the video is great but the audio does not play. Help! I am using Keynote for ios. Would it help if I created the presentation on my mac and then sent it to the iPad?

FOUND THE SOLUTION:
I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

Keynote for iOS "Effects" menu is EXTREMELY slow?

I'm using Keynote for iOS, and I've been using it for a long time. I want to make a presentation and add transitions and builds. When I click on text and select Build In or Build Out, the Effects menu is incredibly slow. I can barely scroll through it, and when I tap on an effect, it takes 20 seconds for the preview window to show up. It was never like this before the last update. I force-quitted and everything, too. Do I have too much stuff stored in the app? Whatever I have to do, I don't want to lose all of my presentations, or have to open them up one-by-one in another app. Can anyone please help me soon?

Never mind, this problem is not taking place anymore.

Keynote for iOS: Hyperlinked text, viewing notes with slides, snagging images from Safari?

Hey all! Does anyone here know if there's a way to do the following in Keynote for iOS?
Add hyperlinked text
View notes long with slides
Snag and display images from Safari to put into Keynote
And if so, how?

HI,
I have created a project similar to yours and I can't see all the issues mentioned.
But, with the links which you sent, issues are present.
So, can you send me the CPTX project so that I can verify.

Keynote/Numbers linking for iOS

Can a Keynote graph be linked to a Numbers graph on iOS like you can do with iWork for OSX?
So that the graphs in a keynote presentation are reading the data from a numbers spreadsheet?

Keynote Remote has been discontinued and its function has been incorporated into Keynote for iOS.

Custom colour palette in Keynote for iOS?

Is there some workaround that would let me create a custom colour palette in Keynote for iOS? Importing a PPT slide seems to change the palette, so I assume it's possible, but I don't want to have to use PPT just to set up Keynote! Ideally, I'd like to be able to import a Kuler palette into the iOS app using only the iPad (I don't have a Mac).
