Keynote vs Powerpoint file size

I received a .pps presentation which weighed in at 84k. I opened it in Keynote & saved it as such. The keynote file size is 264k. Could this be due to Keynote's antialiasing? 84 vs 264k is no big deal but I've also noticed this with multi-megabyte presentations.
BTW I'm posting this in the Keynote 8 dicussion & I'm running 3.02. If I've posted in the wrong area, my apologies.

Thanks Kyn, The pps which came in opened with Keynote. (This is normally the case with pps unless I open Power Point first, or request it with the Ctrl key)
The picture quality was clear but not sharp in resolution. ok for its purpose, flowers and countryside, and measuring approx 18cm by 14cm. (no music although it requested sound switched ON)
Since my first note, I remembered that I had taken my pictures straight from iPhoto, so they were in original format of around 1.4 to 2.2mb each which accounts for the size (and excellent resolution) so I tried making a medium quality selecton within iphoto to Mail.
This worked ok and I found when I dragged he pictures from Mail into Keynote I could 'adjust' the picture quality , however, next problem was the frame of Keynote was much larger than the slide which was now approx 13 x 9cms, which was acceptable for my purpose.
Haven't found out yet how to fit the keynote window to the picture. The Inspector not very helpful.
Am sure there must be a neater way of doing this than via iPhoto, and there must be a simple click somewhere to match picture with frame
Open to further advice

  • Keynote for iOS file size: inserting photos from Mac first or from iPad?

    Hi!
    This one is for people with advanced and extensive knowledge of Keynote for Mac and for iOS:
    Does inserting pictures in Keynote for iOS from the Photos app result in a leaner file size than importing the Keynote file with pictures already inserted from the Keynote for Mac app?

    Hey Timmy,
    I use Dropbox to get my photos to/from my iPad to my computer wirelessly (no iTunes). The process below is one I posted a few weeks ago for the opposite process than what you're wanting to do (from iPad to computer) but Dropbox will work both ways. Just set up a Dropbox folder on your computer and set up the Dropbox app on your iPad and they will both be in sync automatically.
    Hope this helps!
    ~Joe
    ---from a post I did a few weeks ago---
    The Dropbox app has a very cool auto-upload process that will automatically upload photos from the iPad Camera Roll to Dropbox.
    First sign up for a free Dropbox account from your computer.
    Then, download the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
    Log in to the Dropbox app on the iPad with your new account and click on the Photos icon in the lower left corner of the screen (second one from the left).
    Select "Enable Camera Upload" and "Only Wi-Fi." The upload process will begin for all existing photos in the Camera Roll.
    From now on, all future photos taken by the iPad will automatically upload to the Dropbox folder. You can then download your photos from Dropbox to your computer by going to http://www.dropbox.com, logging in to your account, and downloading the photos. You can then put the photos on a USB drive or burn to a CD or upload them to a photo processing website.
    Hope this helps!

  • Equations for Keynote and Powerpoint Files?

    I copied a powerpoint file onto my Ipad2 and used Keynote to open it.  Most everything is fine, but Ipad-Keynote won't recognize the equations.
    The Keynote on my Macbook pro will recognize them.  The equations were made with Microsoft's equation editor.
    Is there any way to get Keynote to recognize equations?  Alternatively, is there some app for the Ipad that will recognize/show/allow-editing of
    equations in powerpoint?

    This is fine, but not really the answer. If you look at the MathType web site, you'll find the following in response to queries about Equation Editor on the iPad:
    "Is there a version of MathType for Apple Pages on iPad/iPhone?
    No. Not yet anyway. Since Apple released Pages for iPad, we have received numerous inquiries regarding creating and editing MathType equations in that environment. Since the iPhone uses the same software as iPad, it is reasonable to expect that Apple will offer a version of Pages that works on it as well someday soon.
    Pages for iPad lacks MathType support
    As you probably know, Apple added support for MathType to iWork '09 in all three iWork apps, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. This required Apple to do software development in these applications. We made only minor changes to MathType to make this work. Before we can make a version of MathType for Pages, or any other iWork app, Apple must do similar work in Pages for iPad.
    Why don't you guys work this out with Apple?
    We would love to. However, it is not just a matter of us picking up the phone and calling Tim Cook, or anyone else in Apple management for that matter. Big companies like Apple get inundated daily with requests from smaller companies to make things work in their favor. Like all smart companies, Apple does not set its market direction by listening to other companies but by listening to its customers.
    So what can I do?
      The best thing you can do to get MathType support added to Pages for iPad/iPhone is to   tell Apple that it is important to you. Apple has a Pages for iPad Comment Form that is perfect for giving them feedback. Encourage your friends and associates to also let them know that you would like MathType support in Pages for iPad. If you work at a university or other educational institution, or company with lots of iPads, you may have other avenues open to give Apple feedback. Companies love feedback from their customers. We do and we are pretty sure Apple does also."
    So it is really a two-way street, and I am sure that a small company like Design Science would LOVE to be able to have their product as an iPad app, or even as transferable from a MacBook. However, it seems that for them to ready MathType for the iPad, it needs a little effort from Apple, which has not, so far, been forthcoming. Again, it comes down to the question of why has Apple turned its back on the tablet concept, when they had it first, and as a company trying so hard to dominate the education market? It makes no sense, unless they really just don't care about it, and would rather sell iPhones and iPads for folk to play Angry Birds on.
    And telling me I have to use PowerPoint is not the solution - PowerPoint is clunky and ugly, compared to Keynote on the MacBook, and there's no reason to drive a Yugo when a Jaguar is sitting in the garage, waiting for a fourth wheel.
    I really would like to now what apps can sit on an iPad and allow me to handwrite on top of a Keynote presentation, and include complex equations without inordinate additional effort. None of the MacBook solutions is satisfactory, especially when I a) have video content, and b) am trying to record the lecture to a Podcast at the same time, and I don't see that possibility on the iPad yet. Technology is supposed to make preparing and delivering material to students easier and more efficient - the reality is that, with thestill crude tools currently available, doing so can become an infinite sink for time and resources. It may be true that where there is a will there is a way, but what there is not is an infinite supply of time to make it happen.

  • No audio on keynote from Powerpoint.

    Went importing Powerpoint presentation I am unable to get the audio.

    Reply to https://discussions.apple.com/people/Edward%20Escobar
    Rely to Eward
    I opened directly from my email on my Apple laptop.  I opened it using Keynote from PowerPoint file.  How do I change it and insert anything?  It just did not have audio output.  Period.
    BTW, I did the same thing on any PC.  Voila!  No problem.  PowerPoint on PC works like a charm.  I am not happy with Keynote that I thought would take care of my PowerPoint files from my Macbook pro.  What else could I do?  Hopefully, Apple will update to solve this audio music problem of PowerPoint in the near future.  Only Apple authority could help me. 
    I wonder if I could write my feedback from the Keynote purchased ($9.99).  It wasted my dollars.  Maybe I can have refund.

  • Captivate 8 - Issue opening PowerPoint files

    I am having an issue opening PowerPoint files with Captivate 8. I am running Captivate on the latest version of OSX on a Mac. And I keep getting a very specific message that states the PPT file is corrupted or outdated. Here is an image with the exact wording:
    The problem is all my PowerPoint files receive this message when attempting to upload them into Captivate 8, and some of PPT files were saved using PowerPoint 2013. Both of which, lead me to believe that this is not a damaged PPT or an outdated PPT issue. Can anyone help with this one? 

    Hi Austin,
    Is the issue specific to a particular powerpoint file and other powerpoint files are getting imported properly ?
    If yes, can you please email the problematic powerpoint file to me at [email protected]
    If the powerpoint file size is huge, please upload it to dropbox.com and email me the download link at the above mail id.
    Regards,
    Hari

  • Keynote file size vs. PowerPoint

    I just created a KN presentation that was 5.9GB. When I convert it to PowerPoint, the same presentation is only 500  MB. What could account for that difference? How can I make the KN presentation a more manageable size?

    I should have been clearer.  No video at all, but a number of photos, nearly 300 of them, plus a few bullet-point slides.  Some of the "photos" are images downloaded from the web and imported into iPhoto, but most are ones I took.  I did not do anything to alter the resolution of the photos when importing them from iPhoto into Keynote, nor when converting from Keynote to PowerPoint.  The photos appear on the computer screen to be equally clear in Keynote or PowerPoint.  I don't understand how PowerPoint can do the same job so much more efficiently, or why converting to PowerPoint reduces the file size so much.  I like Keynote, but I would like to know how to make the file smaller to be able to share it on a thumb drive, etc.  Otherwise I'll just go back to using PowerPoint.

  • Exporting to Powerpoint causes file size to expand almost 10X

    I am a new Keynote user. I like the program, but I sometimes need to be able to send presentations to Powerpoint users. The export process is simple and worked fine, but in my first attempt to export a small Keynote presentation it increased from 3.3 MB in Keynote to 27 MB in Powerpoint. Does anyone know how I can keep the Powerpoint file from increasing so much in size?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Try doing this:
    #1 choose Show Master Slides from the view icon in your tool bar in Keynote
    #2 go through and delete master slides (Just click on one and choose delete). If you're asked to replace that slide with another one, hit cancel and assume that slide is being used in your preso, so you can't delete it.
    #3 once you've removed all unused masters, try the export again and see if it's any smaller (and report back here if it is as I haven't tried this yet).

  • Is there a way to "compress" or reduce keynote file size?

    I have transferred some PowerPoint presentations to Keynote and in general have had no difficulty. However, I can "compress" the pictures in PowerPoint which makes the file size much smaller.
    Is there any way to reduce the file size of a Keynote presentation?
    Thanks,

    hi I am trying to do a project of putting a keynote saved as a quicktime into garageband and adding audio and then compressing it via Share ...sent to itunes etc. It does get smaller.
    But Are there any experts out there on putting a keynote with narration into garageband. I loose all of the timing control when I send it to quicktime. It seems like a LOT of steps.
    Also, putting a narration into keynote is so long. Power Point just lets you record the narration on each slide. So I was putting it into garageband and trying to add the narration podcast style. Any suggestions.

  • Can't open powerpoint files in keynote since Mountain Lion upgrade

    Not having much luck and not sure which forum to post in as this could be a Mountain Lion issue, an iWork issue, but is also an iWork and/or IOS6 issue!
    Until last week I had Lion on iMac and IOS5 on iPad. I was able to log on to my work network server (school network, I am a teacher) and open powerpoint, word or excel files in keynote, pages or numbers on my iPad. I then upgraded to IOS6 and now none of the files will open up on my iPad. I get the open in screen when I choose a file to open, then nothing happens.
    In the meantime, I upgraded my iMac from Lion to Mountain Lion. Since I was having problems accessing my work files and viewing them on my iPad, I decided to buy Keynote on my iMac in the hope that I could get on with some work on iMac rather than iPad. I logged on to my school server and tried to open a powerpoint file and for some reason it downloads it as a pptx.exe and if I try to open it I get an error message saying "You can't open the application xxx.pptx.exe because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OSX". It shouldn't be a .exe file it should just be a powerpoint file! When I open Keynote and look for available files on my iMac, the file I just downloaded is greyed out.
    Hmmmmm so I have an iMac, an iPad, two versions of the Keynote app (plus numbers and pages on the ipad) and can't open any of my files from my school network. That seems a lot of money in one pot Apple and something has changed from Lion to Mountain Lion, and from IOS5 to IOS6 which is preventing me from doing my work. IOS5 allowed me to open any ppt, xls, doc, pptx, xlsx, docx file from my school network so why since upgrading to IOS6 can I suddenly not open them??
    Now having forked out for Keynote on my iMac, I have the same problem.
    I am able to open attachments in emails and I am able to log on to the school VLE and access and open files. So it is just something to do with opening from the normal file system that I can't do.
    I posted in the iPad and iWork forum and had no replies. However, Apple iWork team have contacted me after reading my post re the iPad issue of opening files from my network. I've provided info to them and am waiting for a response, but in the meantime I have now discovered there is also an issue on my iMac. Hopefully they will read this too or someone else will perhaps know what is going on.
    It is a worry that I can't do any work using my Apple products seeing as I have bought them! I have had to go back to bringing my windows laptop home everyday which I hope is a short term solution. I have loved the fact that I could access everything on my school network from my iPad in the past and not have to drag a laptop around. I am also worried that this means pupils can't access the files too if they are using Macs, iphones, ipads etc and have upgraded to Mountain Lion or IOS6.
    Hoping someone can help
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the response but I think you've misunderstood the problem. I can not open any type of PowerPoint file off my server in keynote. This includes .ppt and .pptx files. (Also includes .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx in pages and numbers).
    Even if what you said worked it would take forever to go through every file and save them all as ppt 2007. Plus of course, I don't know what files I will need when. There are hundreds of resources I need to access when I'm at home. I need the flexibility to view the files when i need to and on the go. Normally I can download them off my school network on to my iPad in keynote and edit them then I email them back to myself ready to use the next day or to save back to my network. Currently I can not download any Microsoft office file. So I am now forced to have to lug my laptop home everyday, rendering my iPad and iMac useless. I can't pre-empt what I'll need and save it as .ppt as that is completely inflexible and that won't open anyways as this is not an issue with the version of PowerPoint file. This is an issue with how all Microsoft files are downloading from my school network to my iPad and iMac. I want Apple to allow this to work like it used to before the upgrades in operating systems. I wish I hadn't upgraded as it worked perfectly. :(

  • How do I find the file size of my presentation in keynote for iPad?

    I know this is a simple question, and I have a work around by just emailing the file to me, but I want to know how I can see the file size as I work on the file within keynote.....on the iPad.
    Thanks

    Select the album, Select all photos in the album, then click on the info button.   Number of photos and total size are on  top of info pane.

  • How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

    I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
    Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
    Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
    MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
    MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
    Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
    As for sound quality:
    Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
    MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
    MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
    MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
    I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
    The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

  • Converting a Keynote document to Powerpoint file doesn't work

    I tried to convert Keynote documents to PowerPoint files that can be viewed and edited by PowerPoint users on Windows or Mac OS computers. All I got was a error. Can any one tell me how to make this work.I did every thing that was in the instructions.
    To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
    Choose File > Export and then click PowerPoint.
    Click Next.
    Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.

    Hy Kyn, thank you for answering.
    Every slide on my presentation has animated objekts. And every slide is linked (by hyperlink) to every slide on the presentation. So I want to give the user the chance to interrupt and to go to next slide. Therefore is an arrow to klick on, which has a hyperlink to next side (or do go to start, or to go back) - during the slide-animation is working.
    That works fine in keynote, but it doesn't work after the export in QT. In QT it is not possible to interrupt the sequence of the animation. When the sequence is (performed) finalized, the klick on the arrow works, and I can go to next slide.
    But interruption is not pssible.
    Tanks in advance for your answer!
    Best regards - Renate

  • When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

    When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

    Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
    Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
    Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
    Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
    Open the folder there are the files
    Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
    You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.

  • Is There a Recommended Maximum Keynote File Size?

    I am prepping my first Keynote presentation and I'm only 20% into it and already have a Keynote file size of 1 gig spread across 28 slides. I'm being careful to make sure that no individual slide gets too big (some using video), but I'm worried that I'm going to end up with something so large it'll give me problems! I know I can scale down file size but I don't think I'll gain that much. My presentation is just two days away!!!!
    btw - I'm building on an iMac 3.06 with 4 GB Ram but will be presenting on an iBook Pro 2.66 with 4 GB
    Ram. Both with core2 Duo.
    thanks!

    Hi kwieder: Late reply, but you should've been fine. Did the presentation go ok? You could've done a test run on the MBP 2.66 before the presentation. File size shouldn't really impact the presentation, unless you're using much older computer hardware. File size is just cumbersome when you're presenting for a conference or a company and they ask to check your presentation beforehand or request a copy etc.
