KeynotePro masters in new Keynote '09

Hi, I have the older keynotepro products installed with new iwork'09 installed and the masters do not behave well. For example, you cannot select the background "image" to edit (ie move, size, etc.) u can however duplicate it.Perhaps this is normal, dunno, just getting into custom editing of templates and master pages.Cutting and pasting the background into Photoshop, and rountripping from that does not work very well either. Perhaps Keynote backs are not real vector files, but bitmaps in a vector container...dunno. Also, Keynote is putting the the theme in macintosh hd/library/Application Support/Keynote which does not look right. Then there are the supplemental materials when opened have all sorts of errors and are hard to figure out how to use. KeynotePro has not answered a copy of this email and has no instructions on the site per se, except to come here. There is a claimer in the banner that says all this should work however in '09. Anyone out here working with these? thx!!!

All versions of Keynote can find themes in that folder you list, though if it's installing them there, they must be REALLY old. I do know Keynote 1 themes have a hard time in anything 08 or newer, so there's an issue there most likely. Also, older themes don't use the image mask function, and really old themes don't even use the vector filled shape trick that newer themes use. MOst likely they are simply tiff or png images actually placed on the master that have a hole punched in them to mask the photo against. On pages that aren't photo cutouts, those backgrounds aren't placed on the slide, they are chosen as the slide "background" and can't be selected (even new themes do this). In order to get those you have to crack open the theme or .key package and copy out the image.
Have you tried logging into your KeynotePro account and seeing if there are newer versions you can download?

  • How do I make a new keynote master/theme/background?

  • In the new Keynote how does one find the Wrap Inspector to wrap text around a photo??? Thanks

    In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector.  How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo??   Thanks

    You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

  • Video clips doesn't work in new keynote

    I recently upgraded keynote after installing os x maverick.
    When I opened my previous keynote presentation, the new keynote asked to upgrade the movie quality.
    And you have to click this option, otherwise the video clips will only come out as pictures.
    But now, some of the video clips doesn't work.  The thing is, I do not have the original video files as these are presentations given to me by others.
    What's next for me?

    Having the same problem, would greatlyu appreciate a fix. does it matter if one upgrades to the iOS or Mac Keynote options?

    Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

  • Is there a procedure to open keynote 09 files with videos in the new Keynote without converting videos?

    is there a procedure to open keynote 09 files with videos in the new Keynote without converting videos?
    I have a big presentation with many video mov and avi files created with Keynote 09. When trying to open the file in the new Keynote the procedured crashes and Keynote crashes abruptly. It seens that an avi file is not converted. I have no more the old Keynote 09. How can this problem be solved?

    if you right click or control click on the file, do you get an option to 'show package contents'?

  • Oops...adopted new Keynote and...

    a bunch of things don't work anymore. I use Polleverywhere quite frequently, inserting Polls into the notes section of my Keynote presentations. Instantly popped up without having to leave my Keynote document. Apparently, not any more. I can export my Keynote to Powerpoint and Polleverywhere works fine. But not with the new Keynote. Of course, to ensure that my old Keynote version was not making the new one not work, I deleted my old Keynote version. Reinstalling it from disk just results in crashes. My goose is cooked.

    and worse...OS 10.9 didn't detect my disk installed version of iWorks so I forked out $60+ for the new versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers.

  • Can't open new keynote presentation

    I just created a new keynote presentation and have the most recent updates on keynote. But I receive a notice that I "need a newer version of keynote to open this document."
    What's the problem?

    You have two versions of Keynote; the previous version 5 (which lives in Applications > iWork 09) and the new version 6 which lives in Applications.
    You get the "you need a newer version to open" message when a file created in 6 is being opened by 5.
    if you right click a version 5 file and select Get Info, in the Open with section select Keynote 5,
    then click change all.
    Perform a similar exercise on a version 6 file but select open with Keynote 6.

  • New Keynote and Music Videos

    I recorded a friend using Logic Pro, and then after bouncing the song to mp3, I added it to a Keynote slide (the new Keynote that came with Mavericks).  After that, I added a video and matched up the audio and video.  In order for me to upload this video on youtube, the keynote file would have to be in a quicktime format, so I exported it to quicktime.  All was fine and good until I opened the quicktime video and it was only 8 seconds long, and the audio and video were all out of wack. I tried and tried again, but to no avail. Suggestions?
    Cheers

    You've hit upon the solution -- create two presentations, one with the first part of the presentation without music, and the other with the second, musical half. On the last slide of the first half, create a hyperlink to the second presentation.
    (See this thread for a bit more detail on this issue.)

  • The new Keynote 6.0 doesn't allow me to insert a .avi

    The new Keynote 6.0 doesn't allow me to insert a .avi movie while version 5.3 does. Is this a bug or how can I get around it?

    I found the answer to the problem in another discussion. I don't know why I have to turn on the calendar at Icloud for the calendar to work.
    What if I didn't have an Icloud account?  It doesn't make sense...
    The user guide is not clear on this matter it says you have to subscribe to a calendar and that your calendar will be blocked if you subscribe, but it's the opposite... I

  • New keynote made on macbook won't open on ipad

    I upgraded the keynote on my late 2013 macbook retina and on both my ipad (latest version) and my iphone 5s. I created a new keynote today and saved it to icloud. I can open the keynote on my iphone, but it will not open on my ipad. I can see the file, but it is grey and will not open. I've deleted keynote off the ipad and reinstalled it. I've duplicated the keynote on my macbook and gave it a new name and saved it to icloud with the new name and now both files are grey.
    Please help.

    LadyC,
    Quit/Force Quit Calendar, then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
    Next open the Calendars and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
    Also open the Preferences Folder in the same Library, and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
    Log out/in or restart, and open Calendar.

  • Is paragraph spacing missing from the new Keynote?

    In the new Keynote, how can I alter the spacing of paragraphs in a text box, so as to fill the slide for instance?
    This was possible in the previous Keynote. Has this feature gone?

    In the previous Keynotes it was possible to set the spacing before and after paragraphs.  Now all I can see is spacing between lines not paragraphs.  There is Text inspector in the format menu of my Keynotes 6.  In the format bar (something like what used to be inspector I think) there is provision to change the line spacing but I have not been able to find anything to change the spacing before and after paragrphs.
