Keynote Smart Build gallery is missing

I am trying to edit images in a Keynote Smart Build. I have done this numerous times previously but now the drag-and-drop gallery is missing so I can't rearrange or delete images. Is there any way to get the gallery box back?

Gael, What did you have to do to bring back the Smart Build drag-and-drop gallery?
If your plea to Apple is about the changes to Keynote in the new version (6.0) that was released with Mavericks, you might want to also submit your feedback to Apple here:

Smart build editor is missing

For some reason whenever I add a smart build and insert a couple of images from my media library I'm unable to get the smart build editor to show when I click inside the blue box (in fact click anywhere). Any suggestions?

I had this problem and solved it by going to
Users/youraccountname/Library/Preferences/
and then doing a search for "keynote" limiting results to this directory only. There were 5 .plist files that I moved to the trash. This resets keynote so if you have changed any preferences in the application, you will have to change them back after doing this. You won't have to reenter the activation code.

New bug introduced with Keynote 5.2 - Set timing and order of each build has stopped working properly on Smart Builds

Hi there,
We're heavy users of Keynote and have noticed a new bug has recently been introduced into something that was stable. I think it has emerged in Keynote 5.2, could have been Keynote 5.1 also.
It's in the area of Set Timing and Order of each build when used on a Smartbuild. You can no longer set the Start Build field for each instance within the Smart build when the instances are interspersed between other items. The Start build field is just blank and unselectable.
To see this :
1. Create a bullet point list with 4 lines
2. Set build to Appear
3. Set "Set Timing and Order of each Build" to on
4. Create a Smart Build - set to flip
5. On the Smart Build Set "Set Timing and Order of each Build" to on
5. re-order the items in your Build Order so that they alternate between the bullet point and the smart build flip
At this point, you used to be able to set the bullets so that they Started on Click and then set the smart builds to Start with previous. This gave you a nice and very useful effect where you could click to reveal a bullet point and at the same time flip in a corresponding image. We've used this loads of times in our company presentations.
With a recent keynote update ( I think 5.2 maybe, could have been 5.1) this functinality has been lost. have tried it on Lion and Mountain Lion and it's not an OS issue, its a Keynote issue.
Could anyone from Apple acknowledge that they know the issue and suggest if it will get fixed? Right now we're hunting round for an old Keynote 9 DVD so we can install a pre build 5.2 version.
Thanks

Hi glennelliott72,
I've noticed the bug you describe and to me it's very irritating.
I also found some differences in the build menu between the last release and the previous one, and between the Mac OS X and iOS versions. For instance, the blast build doesn't exist anymore in Keynote 5.2 but it's still in the version for iOS 6.
What is your experience about?
I currently use OX Lion.
Thank you

Smart builds in Keynote 6.0?

I opened presentations previously built with Keynote 5.3 in Keynote 6.0 to find that all my smart builds have disappeared!
The Action "Revolve" where you can have multiple objects revolve has disappeared.
I find it odd that Apple is removing features from a product - for the sake of interworking with the IOS versions.
This is a serious problem imho, there is no warning by Apple that there are some key keatures of Keynote 5.3 that are not longer supported.
I am using these animations quite often and they get a lot of praise from the audience, so I need to go back to Keynote 5.3 I guess.
It left me with a major problem of having to re-build my slides again in 5.3 from backup files because once you close Keynote 6.0 it saves the opened file in a new format which cannot be opened by 5.3 anymore.

Hi,
In ecc 6.0, create rowline in the main area or where ever u want (say header or footer). This row itself contains the no. of columns u specified in that row, so u can place ur text element directly under the appropriate column.
Like this u can create 'n' no. of rowlines according to ur need.
Regards,
Prabhu

How to make the Keynote Turntable Smart Build work properly?

I've created a single slide presentation using the Keynote's Turntable Smart Build and inserted it in iBooks Author (Insert>Widget>Keynote), but when previewed at iPad, the effect does not work properly. The images used on the presentation just changes between themselves, fading in and out simultaneously.
Has anyone managed to use this feature successfully?
Thanks

unsupported builds will not perform as intended and as Apple says, "will be replaced with Dissolve."
hope this helps...

Smart build animations in Keynote 6.5

I have Keynote 6.5 and I'm looking for the smart build animations I saw in several Youtube tutorials. Help!

No such feature in Keynote 6.5, this was an effect available in Keynote 09 for photo images.
Choose from the Builds, Actions and Transitions that are available in the Inspector for image effects.

Smart Build Bug? Reflections/Shadows missing from newly added graphics

So, you create a smart build - I have seen this with both dissolve and turntable - with say 5 images in it. You apply a shadow and reflection. I know, overused, but that's for a different forum.
You then add a new graphic to the build - anywhere. That graphic will not have reflection or shadow, even though the inspector says it does.
The work around that works but is annoying is to select the smart build, remove the reflection and shadow and then add it back. All the images now have the reflection.
This is keynote 4.01

I just tried the same thing and it does appear to be a bug. I was thinking initially that Keynote was allowing you to set them up individually, but, nope. Be sure to send feedback!

Keynote is crashing whenever I use one of "smart builds"

Hi,
I have a macbook(cuoduo 32bit) with snow leopard (upgraded from leopard and tiger). I just found out that whenever I use one of "smart builds", the keynote(09) is crashing. I removed old keynote preferences, cleaned up all extra fonts or reinstalled iwork 09 but non of them fixes the problem. I can't find any more solutions by googling. Can you help me ?
I got this messages after it crashed.

Smart Build Keynote 6.2

Of course Smart Build is one of the most cool features of Keynote 09, however, can I run smart build effects in Keynote 6.2?
Thanks in advance...

Can i create some similar effect in most recent keynote version? Or this feature is really gone?
Smart Build was the editing pane shown in my last post, it was not an effect such and Keynote 6.2 does not have a smart build pane.
There are over 40 effects available in 6.2, you can achieve exactly the same end result, you just have to set them up manually in the Inspector instead:
Add you images to a single slide
Select all the images on the canvas; Command A
Inspector > Animate > Build In and then click the Add an Effect button
i would like downgrade my Keynote 6 to 5, or. install both in my macbook and my macmini. Is this possible?
If you previously had Keynote 5 installed and you subsequently installed Keynote 6, the previous version is still installed in the iWork 09 folder in Applications.
If its no longer installed, run the installer for 5, both version 5 and version 6 can be installed at the same time.
One very important tip, do not open version 5 files in version 6, there is a risk that they will be corrupted. Therefore, use version 5 to open version 5 files, and use version 6 for new presentations only.

Keynote freezes when using smart builds.

I've got an issue using smart builds.
Any time I click on the smart build button on the tool bar or the actions tab in the inspector window, I get the spinning beach ball of death.
I'm not sure if it's an issue with hardware or software.
I've tried deleting quicktime codecs, final cut plugins, etc.
None of them seem to work.
Reinstalling iWork hasn't helped either.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks...

Smart Builds on master slides?

I'm trying to build a "portfolio" template where i can create case studies out of a master slide template. Some of these case studies have many images in them, and Smart Builds are the PERFECT tool for cycling through them on a single slide.
However, when i place a Smart Build on a master slide, its contents are not accessible in the slide show itself.
This seems like a really odd oversight to me, since one of the most useful ways to use Smart Builds is on master slides. Unless, of course, i'm missing something and it is actually possible to use Smart Builds in this way.

Just took a peek at Smart Builds and now I'm wondering how editable they are (ie are they based on .qtz files). Anyway, you can workaround masking on smart build objects by masking them first, copying, pasting into Pages, copying from there, then pasting back into the Drop Zone (click to highlight it, then paste). It should work directly in Keynote, but, hey, that's why we love Keynote!
I posted about the problem here.

Can smart builds include other actions? Or can I copy a build?

I have a smart build with dissolves in and out. A few slides do need bullet builds. So far it seems that I'll just have to build the presentation slide by slide in order to incorporate the different builds. Any suggestions?
Also, a possibly related question: can I copy a build from one slide to another? I hoped that copying/pasting the build details would result in the same action for the new slide, but no luck so far. If I could do this, it would expedite the main question, as I could copy the dissolve in/out from Slide 1, then paste it into, say, all 20 slides, then modifying only slide 14.
Thanks,
cb

Sure, Tulse. Say I have 20 slides. I know I can do a smart build that will let them all dissolve in/out, and I can loop it, to let it run on its own. All good. But a couple of the images need to expose bullet-by-bullet. So far, it seems that once I use a smart build, I can't change any individual slides.
Re: copying a build, I'd hoped that the transitions might transfer from slide to slide, as a spreadsheet changes references ("B2+C2" pasted in subsequent rows below becomes B3+C3, B4+C4, etc. So if I'd copy and paste a particular build (dissolve in/out), subsequent slides would adapt likewise, and then for the two exceptions, I'd just build them separately.
If I have to build 18 separate identical dissolves in/out, and two with bullet-by-bullet, I will. I'd just rather see if I've missed some detail that would expedite it.
Thanks,
cb

Is there a way to Instant Alpha Smart Build photos?

In Steve Jobs' iPhone Keynote '07, he introduces the iPhone as three separate devices: an iPod, Phone, and Internet Communicator. He has an icon for each, and uses the Cube Smart Build effect. I tried doing the same but the white border remains around the pictures I dragged into Keynote. I tried to eliminate them by using Instant Alpha, but it won't let you use it to photos in Smart Build. Does anyone know how to get the border off? I want my Keynote to look as professional as Steve's and I don't want this slide to bring it down, any help is greatly appreciated!

For some reason, although the Smart Builds do not let you use an Instant Alpha-ed image alone, if you group it with another object, or even just copy it with another object, the transparency is preserved. The workaround is therefore to create a transparent object by removing its fill, putting this over (or under) your Instant Alpha-ed image, and copying the two of them together. Then select the image well in the Smart Build and paste in the two images. Your photo should have its transparency preserved.
Presumably this is just a bug that will be fixed in future versions.

Images in smart build open right justified

Has anyone else seen this.
I've just opened an existing Keynote08 file in 09. And all my smart build push images have become right justified and off center. I can't find anyway of putting them back into the center. Can anyone help?

Have a look here. Only workaround I have found is to re-do the build. Send feedback to Apple via the Keynote Menu.

Image size is too big after "Smart Build Grid"

The Smart Build Grid feature is awesome. Unfortunately, I have one issue with it- it sometimes zooms the images too much when using the grid feature.
Specifically, I have a 4 x 3 matrix of rectangular images. With each Zoom from the grid, Keynote zooms too much, so that the center of the image is nicely displayed, but cuz it zooms too much, important info on the sides of the image is cropped out in the magnified image.
How can I set Keynote to zoom so that the zoomed image is only as big as the longest axis relative to the slide (thereby displaying all information)?
Keynote 4.01, OS 10.4.11, PPC G4 867 MHz.
Thank you very much!

But the image is in
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Input Status" ...
How can it be fixed? Please provide your advise. Thanks.
