Keynote transition problem - PPT slides shift when animation added in KN

I've had to import PPT presentations into KN and they work pretty well overall, except that, when I add a NEW animation to any slide, the slide shifts slightly during transition. Also, some of the fonts and images appear slightly jagged.
The same import and animation settings work fine in 06. I'd love to take advantage of 08's new transitions and animations and other features though!
Any ideas?

The problem persists.
However, one thing we discovered is that the Keynote 08 file runs great on the MBP with the newer NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT card.
On the Mac Pro, which has an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, the problem occurs, as well as on a MPB with the ATI Radeon X1600.
There's no videocard firmware update for either the MacPro or the older MPB.

Problem with margins shifting when printing.

I have an installation template on an 11x17 sheet with 3/8” margins. There is a “left” and “right” version on each side (basically mirrored) and the intent is that they align front to back when you hold the sheet up to the light. When we print a proof, two sided, on our laser printer, the drawings match when the single sheet is held up to the light, but the margins are no longer the same; each is offset by a 1/16” in the same direction. BUT when you print one sided on our printer and hold the 2 sheets back to back, the drawings are off by 1/8” because the margins are off by the 1/16' in different directions. This creates a problem when it is sent to the commercial printers as they are printing single sided to their printing plates. (The problem still appears in the exported PDF file the printers use)
The problem is, I can’t get InDesign to stop shifting the content on the page that 1/16”!
If I look at the page, the margin guides show the correct 3/8”on both sides.
If I look at the Master page, the margin guides show the correct 3/8”on both sides.
Under “Margins and Columns” in InDesign, I found the correct margins set (0.375 - 3/8”) all around, with 1 column and a 0.1667” Gutter. Ha .. I thought I had found it! So I removed the Gutter and checked “Enabled Layout”, But when printed, same problem.
I then though it must be on the master pages and found and did the same thing as above, still no luck!
Then I created a new master page and set it up as above and reapplied the new master page, still no luck!
I’m stumped!?! If we can’t get these margins correct we can’t send it to the commercial printer.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Well I don't know for a fact that it is, but the customer is a major International Fortune 500 Company and this is an Installation sheet printed and included in one of their product packages, so I would imagine it is an offset press.
Besides, if the commercial printer was using a commercial Laser printer, can't they print 2-sided? There is no problem when it is printed 2-sided, the images align because both margins are offset in the same direction. It is only when it is printed 1-sided (one side to each printing plate) that the problem becomes obvious because the offsets are in the opposite directions. (BTW, it is B&W)

Problems with Slide Video, when returning to a slide

Hello all!
I have a weird problem with my Captivate presenation, I wonder if anyone could help me...
I have Captivate training course that I've made (output to Flash to run on a SCORM-compliant system). It has a table of contents which points to different "lesson" screens with videos.
All videos are of type "slide video", they will be launched from the LMS running the course.
When I click on the slide to play the video the first time, it plays just fine. But if I go back to it later, it acts erratically (plays from middle of video, starts looping weirdly, etc).
Has anyone else seen this? Wanted to know what I could do to fix.
Thanks!
Daniel

To better illustrate, I've created a simple project with a menu slide and a slide video slide - a really over-simplified version of what I'm trying to do, but still has the same problem. The project is online to download at:
http://ge.tt/8TqfXEA?c
If anyone has time, here is how to recreate the difficulty I'm experiencing:
Run the project (either preview or export SWF, either way is fine)
From the first slide (menu), click on the button, which will go to the next slide and play the video
After the video finishes, click on the "Return to Menu" button
Once back at the menu, click the button to play the next slide & video again. You'll notice that playback is erratic (starts later in the video, also begins weirdly looping).
Please let me know how I can rectify - it's a really big problem. If I'm doing something stupid, please let me know (although I don't think I am - it's a really minimal project setup).
Thanks again for any help anyone can provide!!!

Keynote transition problem

Have all slides set up to transition on click.
Worked just fine until I made some changes choosing transition method.
Suddenly all slides transition automatically although the transition method is set to execute on CLICK.
What might I have done incorrectly ???

I am also having trouble with transitions.
They were working perfectly fine until I added narration to the slides.
Now, no matter what I do, even if I reset each slide with the transition I want and save after I do changes the transitions effects do not happen.
The slides just switch from one to the other.
How can I make the transitions to work after I have added narration?

How can I play the current slide only when there is an audio recording?

Hi,
I have a 10 slide presentation where I am recording audio one slide at a time. If I have the current slide selected and click play, Keynote plays from the beginning of the presentation.
Is there a way to have Keynote playback only the slide selected when audio is recorded?
Thanks,
humbucker

Thanks! That really helped. Why does the audio recording cause so many issues when it's done using Keynote?
humbucker,
I don't really have an answer for that. It usually boils down to complications when all combinations of possible uses are considered. One scenario may seem a no-brainer taken by itself, but not when other options are in play.
I was responding to your specific question about Quicktime recording. You could also use Garage Band, Audacity and the like, of course. Quicktime is just so much easier than any other option that I'm aware of for making short, simple, recordings.

Bug when importing Ppt slides with animation: color changes to foam green

Hi everyone,
I am using Captivate 7 and I am experiencing what seems like a bug when I try to import Powerpoint slides that have animation effects and then publish the video as HTML5.
I am using Ppt 2007 and importing the slides as .pptx files using the Import> Ppt slides command in Captivate.
An example of Ppt slide that I need to import is this: in the slide, there are two groups, created by grouping together several objects (lines, shapes etc). One group has a fade effect applied on it, while the other group has a diagonal down right movement applied to it.
When I import the slide in Captivate, the following happens:
If I do not select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported as static, and no effect is shown in the HTML5 video, although the effect is shown in the Captivate preview.
If I select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported with the effect, and with the original Ppt colors, but as soon as I press F3 to play the slide, or F4 to play the whole project, or I publish the video in HTML5 output, all the original colors change to foam green for the fill in and black for the shape outlines. Furthermore, the text boxes are displayed with their box frame displayed:
ORIGINAL PPT IMAGE:
RESULT AFTER CAPTIVATE IMPORT:
I have read in the forum several posts on this issue, eg colors being changed to foam green even with static Ppt slides, and I tried to apply the suggestions, but none seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there
As Hyperlinks don't survive the import process, perhaps try removing the links and just applying the desired color in PPT before importing into Captivate?
Cheers... Rick

Keynote '09: 2 transition effects per slide initiated by 2 hyperlinks?

I want to do a flip book. So far it looks great.
I'm using forward and back hyperlinks to transition b/w slides.
Problem: I can only get one style of transition effects/slide, so when I flip back to a previous slide the flip animation looks like I'm flipping forward.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok... After more scouring, I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2355380?start=0&tstart=0
Which had this part buried in it:
Remove the navigation (rip out the hyperlinks), set the presentation to run as a Normal Presentation, then Share>QuickTime>Fixed Timing. That's right, I said Fixed Timing. Turns out me and a lot of other people (and yes, some tier 1 support folk at Apple) misunderstood Fixed Timing. Fixed Timing lets a Normal presentation run with the audio and moves on to the next slide when the audio is finished - which is exactly what I wanted (the QuickTime controls automatically appear after the movie is rendered). Slide Duration is actually the delay between slides so set this to 1 second and Build Duration affects the timing of the Builds, but I also set this to 1 second since it was destined for web delivery (bandwidth!).
I struck thru the first part b/c that wasn't relevant to my issue, BUT... what WAS relevant was removing all of my carefully timed slide delay transitions, then using the above method. It worked flawlessly, as far as I can tell. It seems without documentation or help of any kind (that I could find) no one, even Apple support staff, knows what the true function of Fixed Timing is supposed to be. So hopefully, if someone else stumbles across this post, they'll be able to do the right thing, from the start and not waste hours with expensive or additional programs and work arounds.
Follow the above method and still get your timed HD quality Quicktime .mov.

Is there a way to add a transition to every slide at once in Keynote for Ipad2

Is there a way to add a transition to every slide in Keynote on my IPAD 2? I've been doing each slide individually and it is taking too long!
thanks,

I solved the problem a couple days ago. The mistake I made was that I neglected to shut Firefox down before making the changes to persdict.dat. Once I did that, everything worked as I expected it to work after bringing Firefox up again. I guess that's the equivalent of what you suggested. Thanks for your response.

Animations not following imported ppt slide

When I import a ppt slide into Captivate 3, the animations don't come with it. Any suggestions? I am importing as animation not background

Thanks JL. I am aware of the radio button and tried several
times with the setting on "animation." No dice. I'm now thinking
that it may be some incompatibility between my version of
Powerpoint (2000) and CP 3.
I appreciate you responding.

When I try to export PPt slides to iPhoto, it doesn't work. Why?

After downloading iosx, whenever I try to export PPt slides (2011) to iPhoto I get the message that I need a newer version of iPhoto (6 or newer).

Does your PP presentation have anhy animation or music with it? If so you'll need to export it as a QT movie file and add that file to iPhoto.
If there is no animation or music or you can do without them try this: Here's how to get the slides into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - in Power Point go to the mode where all pages are thumbnails and select all of the pages.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellarand download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

Keynote, hyperlink to hidden slide problem

I'm currently making a keynote that on one picture has a hyperlink to a slide. When the keynote is finished I don't want the presentation to show the slides that my hyperlinks are referring to. But if I try to hide the slide the hyperlink is linked to, the hyperlink is disabled. Suggestions?!

Hi,
You could try putting a couple of blank slides or a 'the end' slide immediately after your presentation and stopping the slideshow manually.

Problems saving/reimporting edited PPT slides back into Cap5/Mac

Greetings, folks - 25 year Mac veteran here, new to this forum and Adobe products but an Apple Certified Pro w/emphasis on audio & video, experiencing some disappointment with Captivate 5/Mac's inability to integrate with PowerPoint as advertised. I'm building a fairly straightforward presentation, making basic edits & changes to the .pptx and when the changes are saved and re-imported back into Captivate, they either fail to appear, or appear only in part. In the interest of time, I'm having to work around by taking screen shots of the updated ppt slides and inserting them as images, over the Captivate slides which have failed to take the edits & updates. FYI, running OSX 10.6.4, Captivate 5.0.0.596, Powerpoint 2008 for Mac v. 12.2.6 (100708) in case it matters. Very grateful for any suggestions or assistance...thanks again, cheers!

Bump...anyone at Adobe, want to at least admit publicly that this is a 'known issue', or shall I just bill you for my testing time on an incomplete product?

Having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

having problems with using shift alt command when using the square tool

Marco,
If no good reason, such as the one suggested by Silkrooster, is present, you may try the list, hoping for one of the easy ones at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
