Smart Builds Timing - advise please

I'm making a slide show and am using two smart builds (push) on one slide: 4 pictures total - 2 showing at a time. Is there a way I can make it so that they "push" at the same time? I just started using keynote and I'm not sure if it's even possible to time it so they both transition at the same time. all i can do is make it change one after another. please help. thanks

In the Build Inspector, set separate timing for both Smart Builds and then drag the build steps to interleave the steps of the two build. For each of the 2nd Smart Build steps, set them to start with the previous build step.

New bug introduced with Keynote 5.2 - Set timing and order of each build has stopped working properly on Smart Builds

Hi there,
We're heavy users of Keynote and have noticed a new bug has recently been introduced into something that was stable. I think it has emerged in Keynote 5.2, could have been Keynote 5.1 also.
It's in the area of Set Timing and Order of each build when used on a Smartbuild. You can no longer set the Start Build field for each instance within the Smart build when the instances are interspersed between other items. The Start build field is just blank and unselectable.
To see this :
1. Create a bullet point list with 4 lines
2. Set build to Appear
3. Set "Set Timing and Order of each Build" to on
4. Create a Smart Build - set to flip
5. On the Smart Build Set "Set Timing and Order of each Build" to on
5. re-order the items in your Build Order so that they alternate between the bullet point and the smart build flip
At this point, you used to be able to set the bullets so that they Started on Click and then set the smart builds to Start with previous. This gave you a nice and very useful effect where you could click to reveal a bullet point and at the same time flip in a corresponding image. We've used this loads of times in our company presentations.
With a recent keynote update ( I think 5.2 maybe, could have been 5.1) this functinality has been lost. have tried it on Lion and Mountain Lion and it's not an OS issue, its a Keynote issue.
Could anyone from Apple acknowledge that they know the issue and suggest if it will get fixed? Right now we're hunting round for an old Keynote 9 DVD so we can install a pre build 5.2 version.
Thanks

Hi glennelliott72,
I've noticed the bug you describe and to me it's very irritating.
I also found some differences in the build menu between the last release and the previous one, and between the Mac OS X and iOS versions. For instance, the blast build doesn't exist anymore in Keynote 5.2 but it's still in the version for iOS 6.
What is your experience about?
I currently use OX Lion.
Thank you

HT1454 I have the correct cable but my purchased movies say they are unable to play on my smart TV and they need to be unlocked. Can anyone advise please? Thanks,

It's possible that the DRM (digital rights management) disallows you to port those movies onto a TV. What app are you using? Some apps are 'ipad only' and will not push out to another screen.

Smart Build - push - odd timing problem

I'm using a push smart build with nine images. KN will show all nine, but only acknowledges the existence of eight and the timing is off... the last image is onscreen for too long even if I click to initiate a page transition.

Image size is too big after "Smart Build Grid"

The Smart Build Grid feature is awesome. Unfortunately, I have one issue with it- it sometimes zooms the images too much when using the grid feature.
Specifically, I have a 4 x 3 matrix of rectangular images. With each Zoom from the grid, Keynote zooms too much, so that the center of the image is nicely displayed, but cuz it zooms too much, important info on the sides of the image is cropped out in the magnified image.
How can I set Keynote to zoom so that the zoomed image is only as big as the longest axis relative to the slide (thereby displaying all information)?
Keynote 4.01, OS 10.4.11, PPC G4 867 MHz.
Thank you very much!

But the image is in
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Input Status" ...
How can it be fixed? Please provide your advise. Thanks.

Adjusting Images in Smart Build

I have a series of images set in a Smart Build, and I want to adjust all these images (contrast, saturation, etc.). When I open Adjust Image - I can't make any changes to the smart build images. Does Smart Build enable this feature? I could just adjust them all in Photoshop, save the jpgs again, and drop them back in...but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that.
Please let me know as soon as you can - I would appreciate it so much!
Thanks!

Have a look here. Only workaround I have found is to re-do the build. Send feedback to Apple via the Keynote Menu.

Smart Build Separate Timings not working

I've created a smart build within one slide to fade one photograph to the next. (This is the only way I can see to get an audio track embedded into a series of images). It has a checkbox to use separate timings for each segment of the build. I checked it and sure enough all of the images now show as separate items in the drawer. When I uncheck it, they all become one build and it shows that the timing for image 1 is to be applied to all the other images. That's all great.
However, when I DO use the separate timings option and I change the timing for any one image, it applies for all the other images. In other words - it isn't working. Anyone else see this. Anyone have a fix?

Ideally what I want to do is be able to click through each image rather than set a delay for each element of the build. Sometimes I need to speed through this section of the presentation and other times I can go slowly through it. So, I need to be able to set each element to advance on click. Then I want to have each dissolve be a different duration. Some dissolves look better with a 2 second dissolve and others with a 5 second dissolve.
Just spoke to Apple, they say that it is not designed to be able to set different durations for the different elements of a smart build. The separate timings checkbox only refers to how long an image stays on screen before the next image comes up.
Of course this would all be a mute point if Apple would just add the ability to play audio across a series of slides within a show.

When I login I get a message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

My immediate reaction is to deny.
Have you downloaded or installed any application that may relate to the abbreviation AOS? It may not necessarily be the application's name, could be the developer or distributor.
As it's occuring at log-in, go to System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items and look for a related item. If there's one there, right-click (or ctrl click) on it and select Reveal in Finder. That will show you where the originator of the item is on your system and should give you more of a clue as to what it is.
I'd remove the item from login items anyway (highlight and click the minus sign at the bottom of the window). There shouldn't be anything trying to use your keychain info to notify anyone.

Check to see if you anti-virus software running, that will at times interfere with the connection with the Apple server.

Can smart builds include other actions? Or can I copy a build?

I have a smart build with dissolves in and out. A few slides do need bullet builds. So far it seems that I'll just have to build the presentation slide by slide in order to incorporate the different builds. Any suggestions?
Also, a possibly related question: can I copy a build from one slide to another? I hoped that copying/pasting the build details would result in the same action for the new slide, but no luck so far. If I could do this, it would expedite the main question, as I could copy the dissolve in/out from Slide 1, then paste it into, say, all 20 slides, then modifying only slide 14.
Thanks,
cb

Sure, Tulse. Say I have 20 slides. I know I can do a smart build that will let them all dissolve in/out, and I can loop it, to let it run on its own. All good. But a couple of the images need to expose bullet-by-bullet. So far, it seems that once I use a smart build, I can't change any individual slides.
Re: copying a build, I'd hoped that the transitions might transfer from slide to slide, as a spreadsheet changes references ("B2+C2" pasted in subsequent rows below becomes B3+C3, B4+C4, etc. So if I'd copy and paste a particular build (dissolve in/out), subsequent slides would adapt likewise, and then for the two exceptions, I'd just build them separately.
If I have to build 18 separate identical dissolves in/out, and two with bullet-by-bullet, I will. I'd just rather see if I've missed some detail that would expedite it.
Thanks,
cb

Smart builds in Keynote 6.0?

I opened presentations previously built with Keynote 5.3 in Keynote 6.0 to find that all my smart builds have disappeared!
The Action "Revolve" where you can have multiple objects revolve has disappeared.
I find it odd that Apple is removing features from a product - for the sake of interworking with the IOS versions.
This is a serious problem imho, there is no warning by Apple that there are some key keatures of Keynote 5.3 that are not longer supported.
I am using these animations quite often and they get a lot of praise from the audience, so I need to go back to Keynote 5.3 I guess.
It left me with a major problem of having to re-build my slides again in 5.3 from backup files because once you close Keynote 6.0 it saves the opened file in a new format which cannot be opened by 5.3 anymore.

Hi,
In ecc 6.0, create rowline in the main area or where ever u want (say header or footer). This row itself contains the no. of columns u specified in that row, so u can place ur text element directly under the appropriate column.
Like this u can create 'n' no. of rowlines according to ur need.

Prabhu

How to make the Keynote Turntable Smart Build work properly?

I've created a single slide presentation using the Keynote's Turntable Smart Build and inserted it in iBooks Author (Insert>Widget>Keynote), but when previewed at iPad, the effect does not work properly. The images used on the presentation just changes between themselves, fading in and out simultaneously.
Has anyone managed to use this feature successfully?
Thanks

unsupported builds will not perform as intended and as Apple says, "will be replaced with Dissolve."
hope this helps...

Smart Builds on master slides?

I'm trying to build a "portfolio" template where i can create case studies out of a master slide template. Some of these case studies have many images in them, and Smart Builds are the PERFECT tool for cycling through them on a single slide.
However, when i place a Smart Build on a master slide, its contents are not accessible in the slide show itself.
This seems like a really odd oversight to me, since one of the most useful ways to use Smart Builds is on master slides. Unless, of course, i'm missing something and it is actually possible to use Smart Builds in this way.

Just took a peek at Smart Builds and now I'm wondering how editable they are (ie are they based on .qtz files). Anyway, you can workaround masking on smart build objects by masking them first, copying, pasting into Pages, copying from there, then pasting back into the Drop Zone (click to highlight it, then paste). It should work directly in Keynote, but, hey, that's why we love Keynote!
I posted about the problem here.

Keynote freezes when using smart builds.

I've got an issue using smart builds.
Any time I click on the smart build button on the tool bar or the actions tab in the inspector window, I get the spinning beach ball of death.
I'm not sure if it's an issue with hardware or software.
I've tried deleting quicktime codecs, final cut plugins, etc.
None of them seem to work.
Reinstalling iWork hasn't helped either.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks...
