Possible to annotate/markup *during* keynote presentation?

All,
One feature that would be extremely useful would be the ability to draw lines on a slide during a presentation - and the ability to save that markup (indeed, it is a deal breaker for moving to keynote). Sketches are very important for conveying geology ideas - and I prefer to build up the sketches during the presentation using a tablet (wacom).
Sincerely,

Welcome to the forums!
Keynote does not have a native ability to draw directly on presented slides. There are various applications that will allow screen drawing (see this review and this application, for example), but you would have to arrange to save the drawings separately and then add them to the presentation later.
If you know what you want to draw, however, you might be able to do this ahead of time with builds.

  • Want to enable screensaver during keynote presentation

    Hi there,
    As a feature, Keynote stops the screensaver from activating during a presentation. I actually want to override this feature.
    I have a boardroom setup with a Mac mini connected to a Plasma TV. Sometimes a slide will be left on for upto 4 hours and i'd like to avoid screen burn. I've also tried to activate hotcorners to invoke the screensaver with a mouse, but this doesn't work either.
    Any help with this would be great. Not sure if it can be achieved though.

    I don't believe that is possible without quitting the slideshow. As an alternative, you can press b to show a black screen or w to show a white screen. Then press any key and you will go right back to where you were in the slideshow.

  • Swipe back during keynote presentation

    Hi everyone,
    I understand that in Mac OS, when I am presenting a keynote presentation, hitting the "[" button (during a slide with several builds) on the keyboard moves the presentation to the previous "build" while hitting the left arrow button moves the presentation to the beginning to the current slide.
    When making the same presentation in my iPad, swiping back causes the presentation to move to the beginning to the current slide.
    May I know what action is required to move the presentation to the previous "build" (equivalent to hitting the "[" button on the keyboard)?
    Thanks!

    I don't believe that Keynote records the mouse movements when recording a presentation -- a recorded presentation is not an actual screen capture. If you need this kind of capability, you may want to look at using a third-party screen capture application like ScreenFlow ($99, but highly recommended, as it allows a lot of post-recording editing options), iShowU ($30), Snapz Pro X ($69).

  • Can we use Spaces during Keynote presentation?

    Every time when I am giving presentations using the Keynote, I think I really need the Spaces function because I sometimes want to show actual applications for demo. But it seems the presentation screen is locked and I can't use the function, so I must get out of the presentation. Obviously it doesn't look neat. Does anyone know how to? Maybe there is some third party utility for that...

    There is no way to remove the Finder (or any running app) from the list. However, If you Command-Tab from App 1 to App 2, then when you press Command-Tab a second time App 1 will then be selected in the list. Also, if you quickly press and release Command-Tab, it will bring forward the next selected item, without having to navigate the list. Putting these two facts together, if you set up your presentation so that you Command-Tab to the second app, then Command-Tab to Keynote, you can then toggle back and forth between these two apps with a single quick Command-Tab press, with no risk of invoking the Finder.

  • Is it possible to loop a Keynote presentation on an external display while working in another program (say numbers) on my laptop screen?

    I have a 2012 MacBook Air.
    What I would like to be able to do is plug into an external display and project a looping Keynote presentation on the external display. The problem is when I play the Keynote presentation, my laptop screen goes black. Is it possible to play/loop a Keynote presentation on an external display while working in a different program (Pages, Numbers, etc) on my laptop screen?
    Thank you!

  • Using keynote presentation on projector have had brief loss of signal

    I have changed projector and iPad and still experience during keynote presentation a brief loss of signal to projector.
    This happens at random and keynote presentation restarts on projector. Tried every source to help and followed all advice and it still
    happens at random.  Can play a movie using same gear no problem at all; Please Help.

    Please do not type in all caps, that is considered shouting on a public forum and also rude which I am sure is not your intent. I would also suggest reposting in the Keynot forum, that is where the Keynote gurus are likely to be.
    Good luck.

  • Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

    Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

    Keynote does not have this function.
    The only way to do this is to use an annotation application. Google and find the cost and functionality you need, many have trial downloads.

  • Is it possible to find out the names of the various objects (jpegs, pdf's, etc) in a keynote presentation?

    I have to re do a keynote presentation for powerpoint -- the export feature won't work on the pc -- it simply says that it wasn't possible to display some of the text and objects because they had become corrupted, and were replaced with blank slides.  I was wondering if it's possible to find out the names of the objects used in the presentation.  That way I could save them to a folder and just paste them in to the PPT version on the PC.  I know they have to be somewhere on the Mac that the presentation was made on, so is it also possible to find out where they would be?
    I tried right clicking on the objects in the slide, but there was no 'get info' option, like there is in a finder window.  Please help if you can.
    Chris

    There are a few options for you here. In the Inspector>Metrics Tab, when you click on the picture, it will display the name. Then you can use the find feature of the Finder to locate the picture. If you have Keynote set to save files as Packages, you can right click the file in the Finder (or control click) and then select Show Package Content. This will show you all the files that make up your Keynote and you can copy the pictures out of there into a new folder. Finally, if you can't find them any other way, you can select and copy the picture in Keynote, then open Preview and command-n (or File Menu>New from Clipboard) and then save the file to where ever you want so you can find it.

  • Is it possible to have a live calculator in my keynote presentation so that I don't have to exit it while I am presenting?

    Is it possible to have a live calculator in my keynote presentation so that I don't have to exit it while I am presenting?

    This is not possible.
    If you open both Keynote and Calculator, you can use the application switcher (command Tab) to swap back and forward between the two applications.

  • Can isight be used during a keynote presentation?

    can i use my isight on my macbook during a presentation? or anything remotely close to this idea?

    What is it that you want to do? Do you want to play live video directly in a Keynote presentation (as in have it on a slide)? Or would using Expose to flip to an iSight window be sufficient?
    Since you can insert Quartz Compositions into Keynote, and since Quartz Compositions can theoretically include live video, you might be able to go that route, although I don't know if there are any limitations of QCs in Keynote that would prevent this.

    You do it sort of like the way you arrange your apps on the iPad and how you drag apps into groups. You do the same technic with your Keynote slides.

  • Is it possible to remove a keynote presentation from my iPad, but to leave it on the cloud?

    I have got very little memory left on my iPad, and there is lots tied up with Keynote presentations. I don't want to delete them permanently, but I do want them removed from my iPad - can anyone suggest how I can do this please?

    In Keynote, tap Presentations top left
    tap Edit top right
    tap the file to be deleted
    tap the trash
    tap Delete Presentation.
    Do not rely on iCoud for storing files, it is a distribution system, not a long term store.
    This is the Mac discussion, for future questions about the iPad, use the Keynote iOS discussion.
