Possible? Master slide with changing image?

Let's say I have a presentation with 20 slides. For simplicity, all 20 use the same master.
I would like to have a little image of our company's logo in one corner, which starts off vertical but rotates as I go through the slides as a sort of visual progress hint; so at half way through the slides it would be inverted, and on the last slide it would be vertical again.
Of course I could manually rotate the image on each slide, but this would be tedious and would have to be re-done if I changed the number of slides, or the order of the slides.
Is it possible to automate this in Keynote, perhaps using builds or some extension of slide numbering? Ideally it would be robust to changes in the number and order of slides. Or am I just asking too much?
I'll be interested to hear your ideas.
Glenn.

Adobe Captivate 6 Content master slide order changes when used

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 6 to create a template. I made a content master slide with a specific order.
But when i insert this content master slide, the object order changes.
Is this normal? And is there a (simple) way to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your repy,
the exact version is captivate 6.0.1.240
This is the content master slide i made:
This is what happens when i insert the slide:
I'm experiencing the same problem when i insert the slide on a blank project.

How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull a dynamic image from a URL to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull an image from a URL (which is dynamically updated - like a weather map, say - to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

Any particular reason for those specific technologies? wget does not exist on a mac, although you can nstall it I guess. OS X has curl installed which should do pretty much anything you want to do with wget. cron is being replaced by launchd, although cron still exists on mountain lion.
As far as I can tell from automator all the standard 'actions' to access keynote available to it require keynote to be open and running, but does not provide a function to actually open it. So I think you will have to write some applescript, as a minimum to open and quit keynote. I notice that the keynote actions are mostly circa 2005 an wonder if they would even work.
Under utilities in automator 'actions' there is a capability to add applescripts as part of the workflow.
Also, note that cron is being dprecated by Apple and replaced by launchd. that said cron is stil on my mountain lion instalation.
This entry at stackoverflow shows use of cron with curl to get web urls. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683620/getting-started-with-cronjobs-on-a-ma c
If I have any time I may try and get this to work as it is quite interesting and new to me. But otherwise, good luck.

Master slide color change?

I'm changing the background color of a Theme, but would like that color change to apply to all master slides. I've changed one of the master slides in the theme I chose, but don't know how to apply this same color change to all of the master slides for this theme. I shouldn't have to change each master slide, right? I should be able to apply this color change to all master slides automatically?

Select all the sides...click+shift on each slide. Or pick one slide then select all...Apple key+A. Then change your theme/master.

How to make a round Slider with an image ?

hello everybody,
I'm back and i have a new question : how to make a round Slider (like a volume knob) with an image ?
I see this very interisting tutorial : http://fxexperience.com/2012/01/fun-javafx-2-0-audio-player/ but it use a private class from com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.SkinBase...
thank you for your answer.
Gaëtan.

I'm guessing you could subclass Slider to create a class SliderKnob.
At some stage in the process, not sure where (perhaps after calling super in the constructor), you could look up the slider region's child thumbnail and track and call setVisible(false) and setManaged(false) on them, create an ImageView for your knob, add the knob ImageView to the slider's region and bind the ImageView's rotateProperty to the slider's valueProperty(). Not sure that that is any better than using the SkinBase stuff, but at least it is an alternative idea.
Everything to create your own controls has not been added to the public API, so if you want to make your own controls in the same way the JavaFX does them (i.e. with Skin's and Behaviours and stuff like that) you have to make use of com.sun classes unless you can subclass and modify the workings of existing controls similar to what is proposed in the preceding paragraph.

How do you create a slider with linkable images?

I have been building a web site. I'd like to have a slider with the ability to click on an image to go to another page. Anyone know how to do this using Dreamweaver CS6? Any suggestions are welcome and will be most appreciated.
Thankyou for your help.

To add to Nancy's suggestion, you could also take a look here: http://www.pikachoose.com/

Integrating LT slide with Photoshop image in FCE

Hi all. I'm using LT to make text slides to integrate into an FCE project. Here's some background: my video opens with a LT slide, which is laid on top of (i.e., on the track above) a layered Photoshop image. Next, a few of the layers move, and the text slide ends, and then there is a second when just the PS image shows, and then a second LT slide of text superimposes on the PS image. So the PS image lasts for about 7 seconds, and during that time there are 2 different LT titles superimposed, one at 1-3 seconds and then a second one at 4-7 seconds.
My problem is this: there is a little hop in the Photoshop image when the second LT slide appears -- the image gets ever-so-slightly bigger. I think this must have something to do with the Project Properties in LT not agreeing with the size/pixel aspect of my Photoshop image, but I've been adjusting the #s in both programs forever and the problem remains.
Here are the settings I have now:
Photoshop image: 720x480, 72 dpi, Pixel aspect ratio = DV1/DVNTSC (0.9)
LiveType Proj. properties: NTSC 4:3 (640x480, pixel asp ratio=1.0). Note that I've tried variations, too -- switching the Project Prop size to 720x480, switching the pixel aspect ratio to .9...
FCE Project: Easy Setup DV/NTSC
Thanks in advance for the help -- it's a small problem, but is driving me nuts!
JP

No idea what the first part was about.
Are you trying to render the PS in LiveType as a background image?
If you are, don't. Do the compositing in FCE.
You must view the output of all of yor rendering on your targe playback device, not a computer monitor. You blip in the PS image could just be a rendering artifact being displayer one or two pixels too high or low and that may or may not be visible when played out on an interlaced set.

Can I create slides automatically using a master slide with text placeholders if I have a database of the content?

I'm using Keynote, and I have a presentation that is over 100 slides all identical to the master slide. There are several placeholder text elements, and I have a database of all the text elements.
Is there any way to do a "merge" to create the slides automatically using the master slide template?

Sure, you can build in and out as many text boxes as you like -- just add a new text box, put in the text, and set the build for it. Do be aware, however, that the timing you get will not be very precise.

Weird dual monitor problem with changing image colors

I have dual monitors, same brand and type, same color settings and adjustments, and so far image was the same on both of them. Nothing regarding monitors or color preferences I have changed, but suddenly I started having this weird problem. Example:
1. Here is the screenshot. I have pure red image, palettes and layers panel are on the second monitor.
2. I start dragging image window to the other monitor and STILL HOLDING the mouse button (like I said, dragging)
3. And when I release the mouse color suddenly changes.
If I pick window and drag again color returns to normal. As soon as I release the mouse color changes.
This is only happening on second monitor.
I re-installed graphic drivers, and also re-installed Photoshop CC 2014.
I also changed settings so the image both monitors show is the same (duplicate screen in windows) and there is no problem then. If I return to extended display problems FIXES. But as soon as I lock the computer, and login again the problem shows up again.
Any ideas what should I do or how to fix it?

I see your using Window have two displays. I not sure how windows handle profiles for both displays. Your displays are the the same models. My Displays are physically about the same size bothe 16:9. One displays 1920x1080 pixels the other 1360 x 768 so the resolution are quite different requires me to create special wallpaper. to make sean looks seamless or image on have the same composition.
I notice that when I drag a window between displays a size difference but the color consistent. When I release the mouse button I see a color shift and a screen capture shows this. And if I drag the split window the cole os once again consistent. I think what we are seeing is more a Windows thing not a Photoshop thing.
I'm using Windows 7 and CC 2014. I do notice my window drags over the toolbar and under the pallets on the second display. Your window drags under your toolbar.

Multiple place holders in master slide

Hello all,
I would like to create a master slide with more than one place holder. Is that possible and how can I do it.
Thank you all for the time you spend giving others your insight and knowledge.
Mireille

You probably want to make sure of your terminology.
Here's my definitions of things in Keynote:
Place Holder: That usually invisible "placeholder" shape Apple added in Keynote 2 that's mostly useless, doesn't mask shapes, and forces charts to conform to where it is, even if it's turned off. You can find it in the Inspector along with the Title, Body and pag number items for each slide
Photo Cutout: These are the holes in photo slides. They're made by sticking an image with holes punched in it on the back of the slide. They're not the "background" of the slide in that they're sitting ON the slide.
Photo Masks: This is done by using a shape and a photo, and using the Mask to Shape function to hide parts of the photo that stick outside the shape.
If you're going for the actual Placeholder, then NO, you can't do two to a slide. If you're looking to make a photo cutout with two holes, that's easily done in Photoshop or some other photo editor that supports transparency. I usually save the image out as a PNG with transparency. You can also FAKE this using the Mask to shape option, especially if the photo cutout on the theme you're using doesn't have some fancy dressing around it.
Hope that helps!

Master Slide Builds Bug? Fix?

USing Keynote 3.0.1 on 10.4.5
When I create a new Theme by creating new master slides with builds built into them I encounter a problem.
On one of my Master Slides (Title & Bullets) I have a title box, an object (Line) and a bullet text box.
I have set the Title to build automatically after transition, then I have set the Object (Line) to build automatically after the first build (Title).
I have then set the bullet box to build the first bnullet automatically after the Object and each bullet on click after that.
This has all been set at the Master Slide level.
When I apply that master slide to a slide within my presentation, the build order changes. The Object builds first instead of the Title. To get the correct order I have to re-apply the master to the particular slide.
This causes much confusion when I distribute the theme to my colleagues who are not as computer litererate as myself.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it?
Thanks in advance

it won't keep the new format when pasting the text box on other slides.
Why are are you pasting the page number on to other slides when the master slide will place the slide number on all slides correctly formatted? There is no reason to do that.

Powerpoint Master Slide only works on first 600 slides

I have a presentation with 3600 slides in PowerPoint 2010 and I'm trying to use a master slide to change the font color and background color of all slides. I've created a master slide and have changed the background color and all the slides did change.
However when I change the font color only the first 600 slide changed there font color. I changed the font on all the different levels of slides in the slide master.

Hi,
In PowerPoint, the Slide Master is the template for your presentation. If you make a change to the Slide Master, it will change for your entire presentation. However, if you have already applied formatting to one of your individual slides, it
will not follow the guidelines of the Slide Master. He had changed the layout and formatting on some of his individual slides, and then made changes to the Slide Master, thinking that the changes would be applied to the slides that he had edited
individually.
To reapply the Slide Master formatting to several slides at once, you can select multiple slides and following the same steps from Home > Slides > Reset.
Hope it can be helpful.

What good are Master Slides if...

I can not edit them on the main timeline? I create a captivate template and use master slides with place holders. Then create a new project from the template and I can not edit the master slide with place holders. Right now all I can see using a master slide for is my background objects that are the same on every slide.
I was hoping that I was goign to be able to use master slides with my subject matter expert. That way all he had to do was pick a Master for a slide then type the info in the place holder. But that does not work. So I am back to using regular slides with place holders.
The whole concept of being able to add place holders to a masterslide seems strange to me if you can not edit them on the main timeline.

Hi folks
Indeed things get a bit muddy with the Master Slides concept and placeholders. I think this is further exacerbated with the whole concept of the panels.
In Captivate 4, when you created a Project Template and it had placeholders, you double-clicked the placeholder and a dialog popped up that you interacted with to configure the content. In Captivate 5 it appears that double-clicking the placeholder just tends to focus the properties panel for the objkect. And because the panels are so similar, it's quite often difficult to discern that anything changed. As a result, you may not think the template is working.
I agree that it seems counterintuitive to have an ability to insert a placeholder into a Master Slide, then apparently prevent access to edit the placeholder unless you are editing the Master Slide. What would seem more intuitive to me is that if placeholders were used in a Master Slide, they would be transferred to any new slides created using Insert > New Slide. I stand to be corrected on this, but I believe that's how PowerPoint works. So it would make sense if Captivate worked in a similar fashion as folks are generally already accustomed to working the way PowerPoint does.
For anyone reading this thread that would like to see changes made, please consider submitting a Wish Form and advise Adobe as to how you would like to see the behavior change. Don't be fooled into thinking that submitting a Wish Form is just a way to make you feel you have had your say. Adobe does see these. And if they see enough asking for the same feature or reporting the same issue, the Feature or Issue gains much higher priority.

Master slide and rounded corners

Hi,
Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a way to replace master slides with different shapes, such as a rectangle with rounded corners? I'm using Captivate 7.
Thanks in advance,
Darrell.

This is not on a Master slide, but you can create rounded corners on the borders of your project. Go to Project > Table of Contents or Skin Editor > click the square icon underneath the Skin - that will take you to the borders. Then you can check the Show Borders > Style, click the drop down and select Rounded corners. You'd probably want to make sure you have all four edges selected.
