Master slide shows up in presentation

I am new to Keynote, so maybe this is jusy a misunderstanding of how master slides are supposed to work.
I put all the background elements on my master slide. I applied the master to all 5 of my presentation slides. Each slide essentially adds another item, in a addition to the background items. I expected the presentation to begin with slide 1, but it doesn't. It begins with the Master slide. So the item I added in slide 1 does not appear until I advance the presentation. This is not what I was expecting. I would now need to place my item frm slide 1 in the Master if I want it to appear immediately upon starting the presentation, but that screws up the magic move for that item on slide 2.
Can I have my presentation start on slide 1, instead of having to advance to slide one after the presentation starts?

Without seeing the form it's very difficult to say exactly what could be wrong. It could be that content is larger than the content area defined on the masterpage. Is it a static or dynamic form?

Creating a high definition slide show in FC ?

Just totally new in this field, I am asked to produce a high definition slide show to be presented on a cinema screen. iPhoto seems too basic, PPS or OpenOffice probably won't let me create a self contained DVD show. So FinalCut could be an option, though I don't know to what resolution limit. I have FC HD, but consider upgrading to the new version if this would help. Is it the way to go or should I rather consider an other program? I must say that so far I have no idea of the definition of the pro digital beamer, nor if a DVD is a good support or if it will limit the image definition. It seems to me that high definition video should produce sharp still images too even on a big screen, but no experience really. Thanks in advance for some hints!

I'm a bit of novice here. I love Keynote for its ease of use, ability to easily support .ai and .eps art, and its cool transitions. I know it can generate QuickTime output which you could then convert to a DVD using iDVD or DVD Studio Pro. However, Keynote won't let you do things like move the graphics around (e.g., no "Ken Burns" effect).
I'm a little curious about the DVD thing. If you are going to be projecting this, life will be a lot easier if you just project it from a computer, rather than converting it to DVD format, which is really designed for TV/movie type output, not multimedia output, e.g., text. FCP HD will produce HD output, but I think I am correct that there are no current players that support HD DVD (about to change with BluRay and DVD HD).
Answer is it really depends ... how fancy are the effects you want to show? How much time do you want to spend learning FCP or Motion (both have a long learning curve)? Will you be able to project this from a computer or must it play in a regular DVD player?

Best codec for slide show?

I'm making some slide shows in Motion 3 w/ the CoreMelt Image Flow plugins. The slide show also has a moving background and sporadic live type fonts. These slide shows will be presented on a 46" HDTV. What is the best codec to use to maintain quality, but not waste space and minimize rendering time. FWIW The original pictures are TIFFs.

In the olden days, we'd print to tape and play the tape. End of story. But if you want to use DVDSP, you've got lots of work ahead. Your delivery will be MPEG2 which is awful and requires careful tweaking of all compression settings. MPEG2 is not pretty on big sets.
Lots of patience and research and experimentation, there is no magic formula, although there is a wealth of information on the Net and locally available in your DVDSP manual.
If you don't have time to work through the weirdly interrelated variables, just use the defaults all the way down the line, lower your expectations.

Slide Show: Slide duration - not fixed? PSE 6

I wish to create a slide show for a presentation. I do not wish to pre determine the duration for which each slide is shown. Ideally I just want to click the mouse - preferably right click for forward and left click for backward (v. v. OK too), without positioning my mouse on an arrow when I want to change a slide. Just like I would do with an old fashioned slide projector. Is this possible?
Thanks.

bring the focus by clicking the first image by mouse. Then press right/left arrow on kwyboard achieves this. Let me know if you mean something different.

Master Slide query

Hi,
I had a question regarding the Keynote master slides;
1) Can the master slide be animated?
2) If so, can you have one animated master slide underneath an entire presentation? If so, is there a maximum running time?
3) If not, when transitioning between master slides, can we cross dissolve, or is it a hard cut?
Hope you are having a great day!

1 - master slides do not have the ability to run animations
2 - see answer 1
3 - master slides do not use transitions, transition are applied to (standard) slides

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

Master Slide templates are not showing correctly once out of film view

I am having problems with the master view edit within captivate. I have correctly adjusted the slides to fit the design I want, however when I add a new slide with that layout the buttons and boxes are throw all over the place. As well, a lot of the objects I would like to delete in the quiz pages can not be deleted and when trying to change the text for the default correct, must answer questions box..etc I am not able to change this text.

Hmmm, sorry about your frustration but as a daily user of Lynda.com for all kind of applications I find the Captivate courses much below their usual level. And I have commented that way on their site multiple times. There is no good practice, no explanation of proper workflows now about the logic of Captivate. You are not the first user that I helped out after such a 'bad' introduction. If you look at my answers, you'll see that I'm not that harsh usually. Having taught all kind of software applications since over 20 years, it is to me also very frustrating when I see this happening. And sorry, cannot help you with pointing to other tutorials, I never bought any book (had the same reflections when looking at books), nor trainings. I just learned by exploring and helping other users out.
Captivate is a very versatile tool, but learning curve is made unnecessary steep by bad approach in many tutorials. You'll learn recipes in them, nothing about the concept nor the logic. And once you want to change the recipe, you are stuck.
Do you know that in a theme you have theme color palette, object styles (did you ever use the Object Style Manager), master slides and a skin. The playbar is part of the skin. When you go to the skin editor, first tab allowed you to uncheck the playbar, go to the second tab 'Borders', and uncheck also the Borders.
Even terminology is a problem: what do you mean by a toolbar? There is for the moment in Captivate only a Big Button Bar in editing mode (Slides, Themes, Text, Shapes....). The real toolbar disappeared in CP8, was there in previous versions. There is an Align bar remaining, but it is not visible until you show it with the Window menu.

Can you automate an iPad keynote presentation like a slide show?

I have a very basic keynote presentation that I've created on my iPad 2. No fancy transitions, etc. Essentially slides with pictures and information. I need to have it run like a slide show and repeat itself over and over for a static display. Can someone help me accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will do it by setting the transition options for the slides.

Sudden Change to Slide Show Display/Presenter View Greyed Out

Two weeks ago powerpoint was acting normally. I would come into class, hook my netbook up to the projector, set my monitor output option to extended desktop and start my slideshow in presenter view. This morning I went into class and I was unable to use
presenter view. It was greyed out. I had to clone the displays and wing it without my notes. Also, the slideshow itself *looked* different. There was an orange menu bar at the bottom that I could not get rid of. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Michelle,
Do you mean the "Use Presenter View" option under "SLIDE SHOW" tab on the ribbon is greyed out for you?
When you are in the "Slide Show" mode, please try to right click on the slide and see if you can select the "Show Presenter View" from the context menu.
Have you ever made any changes to your computer recently? You might want to try installing any required updates, including updating your graphic card driver to the latest version, then try again.
"There was an orange menu bar at the bottom..." - Is it possible to share a screenshot of it with us? You can send the file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).

Updated last night, my keynote presentation is gone. Now trying to recreate. Keynote states that animations are not available on master slides. Help?

I'm no help, but I lost a huge file too with the 10.9.2 update. It isn't ANYWHERE. Totally embarrassing in front of a large meeting.

How to mimic a two-projector slide-show presentation?

This may not be the best place to post this question. Please let me know if there is an alternative forum.
I want to present a few hundred 1920 x 1080 visual "segments" (S1, S2 ...) that cross-fade into each other at the press of a button. No audio is involved except the presenter's voice. A presentation might run like this:
S1 - Still. (Press button to dissolve to next segment)
S2 - Still with preset zoom-in. (Press button to dissolve to next segment, even if zoom not finished)
S3 - Still with pan. (Press button to dissolve to next segment, even if pan not finished)
S4 - Short video. (Press button…)
S5 - Still. (Press button…)
The collection of segments would be generated by Premiere (or other program). However, I would prefer NOT to use a computer for the presentation, but rather, a BluRay player connected to a digital projector via a HDMI cable. The data does not have to be in BluRay format. It may, for example, be any type of file readable by the player, and stored on a CD, DVD, USB stick, or SDHX card. The idea is to insert the media with the relevant file on it (or files), press PLAY, and use one of the remote control buttons to move forward to the next segment.
In case you haven't got my drift: it's similar to an old fashioned two-projector slide-show presentation, but fully digital and some of the images move.
Very simple concept, but how can I achieve the desired result? Almost all image-editing programs could assemble the segments (even iPhoto, for example), but how do I achieve the smooth cross-fading and the move-to-next-segment functions? If I was writing a flowchart for what I want, it would be:
1. Complete the segment currently showing, then freeze image and wait for press of NEXT SEGMENT button.
2. If NEXT SEGMENT button is pressed before the end of segment, cross-fade to next segment.
3. Loop to 1.
Any suggestions most appreciated.

I would look into ProShow Producer. It is designed to do much of what you want.
Encore has a limited SlideShow feature, that does allow for manual advance, but the other aspects, like the Zoom will probably not be what you want. You might give it a try, just to test. One limitation is that one can only have 99 slides per SlideShow, but then can have 99 SlideShows, IIRC.
Good luck,
Hunt

Flash Slide Show Presentation Question

I have created a slide show presentation in Flash format. On
some of my slides, I have animations that run when the slide first
loads. However, as I do not want the animation to continue looping
preventing the viewer from reading the slide, I used actionscript
to place a stop action at the end of the slide animation.
The problem is that if the user uses the previous button in
the slide show to return to the slide the animation does not run.
It will only run again if the entire slide show is restarted. Is
there a simple way to fix this?
Thanks

The steps are fairly simple. I create a listener ,a loader
and an empty movie clip to load the images into. I write a
listener_mc.onLoadInit function then I use the loader_mc.loadClip
to load the images into the empty movieclip. When the loading is
complete the onLoadInit function gets called and you can resize and
center your images.

Navigating Flash Slide Show Presentation??

Hello,
I have an .SWF file which I created using the Flash Slide
Presentation document type. It consists of a number of screens. I
need to load this .SWF file into another Flash movie and control it
with actionscript, but I do not know the code. Could someone please
give me a hint at the code needed for simply getting this movie to
jump from one slide/screen to another? Or point me to a good
tutorial?
Thanks in advance.

was afraid of that... thanks you :-)

Using iPod to present Keynote slide show to a projector

I would like to use my new iPod Touch to present Keynote slide shows using a digital projector. If I could do this I wouldn't have to carry my laptop everywhere. Is this possible and if so how would I do it? What output cables would be required?
Thanks

This is a really great idea. I don't know that you can maintain the pauses that a keynote presentation has, though, because Quicktime generally doesn't have a click-and-go functionality (i.e., pause on this frame indefinitely, wait for input, continue) without scripting.
