Magic move incompatible with object transitions...why?

The magic move page transition does not work if you have other object transitions on the 1st page of the magic move paired pages. Remove the object transitions, and it works fine. Is there a list of what object transitions are compatible with magic move and what is not? I cannot figure out a pattern.
Thanks

MM has it's quirks to be sure. Best to split your animation into several slides. Always duplicate a slide to make the A or B slide for a MM, then only change what you must to achieve the transition. Leave all other transitions to other slides if you are having issues. MM is very sensitive to the object data it uses to associate the objects on slide A to objects on slide B and is easily upset by stack order changes and other things... transitions on objects may come into that.

When will Keynote support Magic Move between masked objects?

OK, moving an object from one slide to another is a cool transition, but when they say Move, they really just mean Move. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to support the Magic Move transition between two masked objects but it can't be done. And many a folk here wish it could be by the postings I've seen.
Essentially it would allow you to zoom in on a portion of an image as you transition to the next slide, or zoom out to see the big picture.
Come on Apple, we're begging you.

Thanks for posting Dave.
I noticed this too (along with position problems with builds imported from Keynote 08). Magic Move is definitely a work in process. Make sure you pass your observations on to Apple via the Keynote Menu>Provide Keynote Feedback with reference to this thread.
Very much looking forward to the next release for Keynote 09.

Assigning Magic Move to Specific Objects

I'm creating a presentation where multiple, identical items need to be placed at different positions on screen. The first object moves from the center of the screen to it's place, but for subsequent slides, instead of moving the newly-placed center item, it moves the first item to the second position. How do I assign specific objects to use during magic move transitions?

Thanks for your reply. I'm finding that doing things slowly, and methodically produces the best results, but there are a few actions that I'm unable to pinpoint the cause. I've uploaded part of the file here: http://bit.ly/1aMWQz
Slides 7, 8 & 9: The bottom row of coins rearranges between transitions.
Slide 9 & 10: The caption "6 Ways" uses the anagram transition which is intended only for the title.
Slides 11 & 12: The captions "6 Ways" and "15 Ways" disappear briefly. The same occurs in subsequent frames.
How do I remedy this?
Thanks.

Period account closing bal includes cumul movements, even with a rule.WHY?!

Hello chaps, I've been struggling with this for a few days now and I'm going to have admit defeat. :(
I'm trying to do two things.
1. View periodic balance sheet movements
2. Get the correct custom closing balance to roll up once I've done 1 (in Periodic view)
What I've done.
For Point 1. I use the SwitchTypeForFlow attribute on the flow members. This let's me see the balance sheet movements in Periodic view. Great.
Which leads me onto Point 2. Whilst I can now see the balance sheet movements in Periodic view, the closing balance (the parent of Opening + increases - decreases) does not total correctly. Instead of adding the Opening + increases - decreases for ONE period, It adds them for ALL the previous periods.
Ok, so to get round that, I thought I'd just create a new member called "ClosingBal" and override what HFM is doing. I'll now have two rules. The "OpeningBal" is just the closing balance of last period. "ClosingBal" is just the sum of opening + increases - decreases for the period. So here are the two simple rules
HS.Exp "C1#OpeningBal=C1#ClosingBal.P#Prior"
HS.Exp "C1#ClosingBal=C1#OpeningBal+C1#increases-C1#decreases"
But when I do this, even with the rule, it STILL adds up the cumulative increases and decreases for all prior periods as well, not just the ones for the period. Why is it doing that? All I want is my closing balance in that one period to be equal to opening balance + increases - decreases. It works fine in YTD view, but not Periodic view. I need it to work in Periodic view
any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sal

Sal,
There is no solution here that allows the user to simpley change the View member from Periodic to YTD, keeping all else the same, and get your desired result. However, you could create a solution that when a user wants Periodic numbers he/she would select the Periodic View member and then select a unique ClosingBal member (eg. 'ClosingBalPer') and a unique OpenBal member (eg. 'OpenBalPeriodic'). When the user wants YTD numbers he/she would select the YTD View member and then select a different and also unique ClosingBal member (eg. 'ClosingBalYTD') and a different and also unique OpenBal member (eg. 'OpenBalYTD').
Here you would have 2 different rules for you opening balances:
HS.Exp "C1#OpeningBalPer=C1#ClosingBal.P#Prior"
HS.Exp "C1#OpeningBalYTD=C1#ClosingBal.P#Last.Y#Prior"
And your ClosingBal rules would look like this:
HS.Exp "C1#ClosingBalPer=C1#OpeningBalPer+C1#increases-C1#decreases"
HS.Exp "C1#ClosingBalYTD=C1#OpeningBalYTD+C1#increases-C1#decreases"
In regards to the ClosingBal rules, these aren't necessary if you make the ClosingBal member a parent of the other members. If 'decreases' need to be subtracted then they should be flagged as 'SwithSignForFlow'.
With this solution if a user selected YTD with the Periodic members or Periodic with the YTD members then their numbers wouldn't make sense so there would be some user eduction involved with this solution.

RAW files seem to be incompatible with my Mac - why?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro which works fine with RAW files imported from my camera. Why is it my new iMac can't seem to handle RAW files. I have downloaded the latest software, but still says they are incompatible. Suggestions anyone?

It really depends on what the format the raw images the camera produces. If it isn't a .jpg right from the camera, it may require you to download Nikons Software to convert the images before Aperture can handle the Raw Images.
Not being familiar with Aperture I am not sure what this software can handle. I am pretty sure that the software should be able to handle any photo thrown it's way.
Cheers

Interrupt Magic Move

I have a 30 second Magic Move where an object slowly scrolls during a long period of speaking. But if I speak quickly and want to interrupt the Magic Move — say after 20 seconds — how can I move on to the next slide? It seems as if the Magic Move has to finish before you can do anything else.
Thanks!

You can jump to any slide during an effect if you use two screens.
In presenter display, click show navigator button, located top left of presenters screen and select which slide to move to.
Keynote > preferences > slide show > enable presenter display

Stuttering magic move transition, has anyone the same problem?

I use Keynote 6 on a brand new macbook pro with retina screen (the most havy one). Has anyone the same problem: a little stuttering of the magic move transitions. It looks like if the movements are carried out on a rough surface. It is a small effect but it gives a low quality appearence.

Thanks for the feedback,Gary. Of course this may be the case, but it doesn't explain why a brand new MacBook Pro does a worse job than a over 3 years old MacBook Air (although the MBP is set at 1680x1050 and the MBA is at 1440x900 default resolution).
I tend to do all transitions at high speed, max. 0.5-0.75 seconds for a transition, often less (0.1-0.4 seconds) for an object build, to get a 'cinematic' effect, as Apple calls it.

Actions and Magic Move transition

In several slides, I have added a SCALE action and a MOVE action to objects in the slide. I then add Magic Move transition between slides, which works great, until the object pops back down to it's original slide instead of staying at the scaled size. Is there a way to make my SCALE action stick once the transition/move is complete?

Why have you added a magic move transition, what are you trying to achieve, that the actions in slide 1, do not do?

Magic Move with videos

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a magic move transition between 2 videos? I have 2 videos that play as a backgrounds with bullet points that display over the top of them - really want the slide transition to look smooth and the videos roll into each other.

Hi again - can't check out the video as you need to pay ('alot') for it. Might be worth it though.
I watched this at time (ages ago) for free so not sure what you are paying for. Anyhow just because he says "Keynote" does not mean it is +actual table object+ being Magic Moved.
(A large part of the power of Marketing is in creating false perceptions without actual doing anything illegal. This has been discussed on other threads and lots of people made same assumption as you have).
There are ways to do what was demonstrated using pngs of the table for the transition then dissolving to the actual table etc etc.
Not a big deal to do for a Big budget presentation like that but a hassle if you are changing the table data as you need to regenerate pngs and so on

Magic Move causing problems with scaled animation

I have a presentation that uses the Magic Move transition between slides. The Magic Move only effects a solid rectangle at the top of the slide which moves to the bottom of the next slide. The Magic Move transition works great except it causes a rescaling of an object on the slide that has been scaled using the scale animation. There are slides where I animate text to move and scale to a larger percentage.
The text animation moves and scales perfectly. When the slide is about to preform the Magic Move transition (advancing to the next slide) the object that was scaled by animation scales back to its original size. Then the presentation advanced to the next slide.
I've reproduced this on two other computers with 'start from scratch' presentations to test. It occurs with any object - text, shape, etc. Can someone else verify that this is a bug or not?
OSX 10.9.4
Keynote 6.2.2 (1878)
Keynote 6.2 (1861)
MacPro
MacBookPro
Thanks.

UPDATE.
Just tested my issue in Keynote version 6.0 and there were no issues. Scaled animated objects and text combined with the Magic Move transition will not result in a the scaled object reverting back to it's original size during the slide transition.
I still would like verification from another user that you can repeat my problem in version 6.2. Although I'm 80% sure this is a bug I have found, until someone else can confirm my issue i'll hold off on that conclusion.

How to use magic move with connection lines?

When I use magic move with connection lines, they disappear and reappear in the next slide. It seems like magic move doesn't recognize the connection lines (or can't match them), so it just redraws them, instead of leaving them there.
I'm trying to use magic move to make a nice presentation that includes connection lines. How can I make without the lines disappearing every time something moves?

Group the shapes and connection line together:
select the objects then Arrange > Group (alt Command G)

Why are Sony headsets incompatible with Apple hardware?

Hello,
Close to one year ago, I had to get my iPod touch 2G replaced due to a defective headphone jack. One staff member at the Apple store told me that Sony, Skullcandy, and some other brands of headphones have a slightly larger plug which wrecks the jack on iPods over time because Sony and Skullcandy (among other brands) have headphone jacks that are just slightly larger than the others. This seems like a reasonable explanation to me.
What I'm wondering is: is this slightly larger jack size exclusive to only a few brands, or does it extend to all brands except Apple's own earbuds? (which would be ridiculous) Secondly, why does this problem occur with ALL Apple hardware, including their computers? (My iMac G5 has the same issue my old iPod touch did.) Do the engineers at Apple not realize that Sony headphones are the choice of not only many home users, such as myself, but also many respected creative professionals around the world? Seeing how Apple hardware is used extensively by these "creative" professionals, such as musicians and music producers, what exactly is the reasoning for making Apple hardware incompatible with these jack sizes? Is there any work around for this incompatibility, such as some kind of headphone adapter I can pick up at Radio Shack?
Since I know that some users here will inevitably believe that I am thick-headed enough to confuse 1/4" jack with the 3.5mm variety, allow me to make it explicitly clear that I am not trying to somehow use a 1/4" jack with my iPod! (that is not even physically possible...)
Also, if anyone knows where I could contact Apple for some sort of official statement of this matter, I would be quite grateful.

Well it doesn't to me.

In which case, that would suggest that the Apple jack is smaller than every other make, not that everyone else has a larger "plug". But I don't accept "a difference in size" as any sort of explanation. In fact, I think such an explanation is complete rubbish!
Other than that, I agree with Kappy, why would you post a problem about a Sony product on an Apple forum?
What can happen though, is that the back end headphone plug (the bit you grip to remove the plug) can be pushed against other objects when the iPod is in your pocket or bag and then the business end of the plug (the front bit that goes into the socket) is levered over, pushing the headphone jack over as well, and that causes the connection between the socket and the circuit board to break. Hence the problem.
The solution (to minimise the risk of broken headphone jacks) is to ensure that the plug cannot be pushed over while it's in your bag or pocket. I purchased a right-angled 3.5mm adaptor (http://www.keene.co.uk/electronics/multi.php?mycode=KA178) which reduces strain on the socket. In additon, do not leave the plug inserted with the headphone cord wrapped tight around the device when you're not using it, because once again, that will strain the connection inside the iPod.

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,
George

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

When I highlight objects, I'm able to move them with the arrow key but I can't drag them with my mouse.

Without system info and other details like e.g. your settings for bounding box display nobody can tell you much.
