Master Slide Media Placeholder in Keynote '09

I would like to make a master slide that is 100% media placeholder for videos, but can't quite seem to find the correct way to do it.
If I insert a shape, it won't allow me make the placeholder a media one, and if I drag something into it anyway, it (of course) shrinks to fit around the graphic.
If I try to take a slide that already has a media placeholder on it and try to adjust so that it fills the whole slide, its proportions are constrained and I can't do it.
Is there a way to "unconstrain" the proportions of a media placeholder or a way to create a custom one? I seem to be missing something. Thanks.

Use the slide that already has a placeholder. Select the placeholder and go to the inspector, Metric Tab (sixth tab). There you have the option to Constrain proportions.

How can I define a hexagon as a media placeholder in Keynote '09?

If I choose a polygon (and changing the sides to make a hexagon), the only option given to me is to make this a 'text' placeholder -- how can I make the hexagon shape a media placeholder?
I tried dragging a photo into a slide, then masking to a polygon shape, but I would prefer hexagon shape. Any thoughts?

Changing multiple master slides on keynote 6

Can I change multiple master slides at once on Keynote?

No, you can only access one master slide at a time.

Adjusting Image Used for Master Slide Background

I'd like to use a jpeg of mine as the master slide background in a Keynote doc. But I'd like to be able to adjust that image (e.g., making it brighter or less opaque) so that text is clearly visible on it. I know that in the Inspector there are ample ways to adjust the qualities of an image inserted into a slide, but I have not found any way to do with images that are slide backgrounds (or the slide master).
Does anyone know a way? Thanks.

How do I set up a master slide in Keynote that provides placeholders for multiple images?

I came across an article in Mac|Life (Oct 2012 p90) titled "Create a Stylish Slideshow". The steps include creating a master slide that allows for you to add multiple photos. My master slide list for all themes allows for only one photo per slide. What am I missing and how can I set up a slide to which I can add multiple photos as they do in this article? Yes, I am using Keynote '09 v5.3.

Thanks for the info. Following the instructions which are covered in chap 12 of the User Manual, I found that I cannot use shapes as placeholders. The only success I experienced was if I used an actual photo image. With photos I could select Define as Media Placeholder, with Shapes, the only option was to Define as Text Placeholder. I will address this with a thorough review of chapter 12.
My initial problem was that I assumed that all themes in Keynote possessed the same set of Master slides. When I found this not to be the case I looked at each theme and identified 12 of the 44 provided different master slide options which provided placeholders for more than 1 photo (a few provided up to 6). For helpful information for others, here is a listing of those themes that provide master slides for more than 1 photo: Editorial, Kyoto, Brushed Canvas, Typeset, Craft, Stock Book, Blue Print, Vellum, Modern Portfolio, White Corners, Storyboard, Formal.
Thanks again. Your feedback got me on the right track to resolving my problem.

Can I put multiple object placeholder in Master slide?

I would like to know if I can creat multiple object placeholder in Master slide or not. After searching the disccusion, seems that this problem occur since Keynote 03 and is not improved till Keynote 09 now. In fact, I would like to make a slide show of multiple photos, but I would like to arrange several photos in one slide and exactly the same position and size in each slide. So, it would be easiler if I can make a master slide with mulitple object placeholders. Can anyone help or if there is any alternative ways? Thank you.

Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Keep Master Slide Objects Static for Object Transitions

A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
In past versions of Keynote 6:
Premise:
An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
That master is applied to slides.
An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
Result:
Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
Keynote 6.5
Premise:
Same as above
Result:
All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.
Apple... I hope one of your engineers are reading this and creates a fix for this in the near future.

Add an object placeholder to a master slide

How do I add an Object Placeholder to a master slide so I can drag and drop photos and have the pictures automatically size themselves to fit the placeholder? (I need to place 400 images, 18 to a slide and manage their builds individually.)

To add a placeholder to a master, select the master, and then in the Master Slide Inspector palette, select the Appearance tab, and under Layout check the "Object Placeholder" option.
However, do note that a slide can have only one Object Placeholder on it. If you have a large number of images that need to be sized to certain maximum dimensions, you might find instead that a tool such as Downsize is useful -- it will automatically resize a folder of images to a maximum height or width (and it's only $20). ImageWell also does quick resizing (freeware, although no batch feature).

Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Copy and Paste Master Objects (Titles, Body) From One Master Slide to Another

This is just a major pain point that I hope is fixed as soon as possible.
In all Keynote 6 versions of the past (and 5), you were able to do the following:
1) Copy a Title or Body object (with proper formatting) from one Master Slide to another.
1a) The slide you would paste it into would have had to have been deleted/unchecked.
2) The pasted Title and Body objects would then assume the role of the Master's Title and Body Boxes
Now:
Instead of assuming the role of the Master Slides Title and Body Boxes, they are simply text box objects. If you were to check "Title" or "Body", the old objects (with probably improper formatting) would still be that slide.

Below is the EtreCheck report. If Needed I am willing to make a screencast of the problem.

Can't change master slide in Keynote

Phong, of Apple Support was able to finally help. Kudos Phong!
Test:
1. Open a new presentation
2. Edit / View / Edit Master Slide
3. If the edits are not saved, then there is an issue.
In addition, the presentation froze and I could not make any changes, preview, nor play the presentation.
Solution:
1. Move the Keynote App to trash
2. Reboot
3. Open App Store (log in if needed)
4. Go to Purchases
5. Keynote should show purchased, not "Installed"
6. Click the "Installed" radio button
7. Reinstall the Keynote App
This corrected all my Keynote problems.

Keynote Master Slide - body levels

Does anyone know how to increase the number of body levels (indents) on the keynote master slides? At present it seems to be limited to Body Level 5 - but I would like to create styles for a greater number of indents.
Thanks in anticipation...

The limit is 5, but you could set a bunch of tab stops so that all you need to do his hit tab to move over. It should act the same, even though can't see more than 5 on the master slides.

Keynote- Master slide

I have a presentation that I want to add alignment guides to the master so I don't have to do it for eash slide. I followed the directions in the users guide but nothing. Is there a solution to building alignmnet guides in the master a have them show on every slide in the group.

Most alignment guides only show up when an item meets their requirements.
For instance, if you place a picture and move it to the space where a guide is, it will 'pop' to the location and hesitate there and the guide will be shown while the object is at the guide line (usually centered, but you have the option to show the guide lines at the edge of an object)
There is no way of having the guides visible at all times on the normal slides. Only the master slides. You won't be able to have them 'show' in every slide based off the master slide, but they will definitely still be available, and will be displayed as needed.

Keynote master slide guides

I have created a grid using guidelines in the master slide and I can't seem to view them when I click on my slides. It references them when I placing a shape for instance but it doesn't seem to display them when I'm on a slide. Is there perhaps a solution for this?

Guides on the master will not appear on individual slides. The work around is to create a slide with your guides, then duplicate that slide as many times as you need. You can then delete that slide when your ready to present.
