Switching presentations mid presentation

Hello all -- i'm trying to run 4 slides in a 10 minute loop before the main presentation and am wondering if there is anyway to do this within keynote. I'm trying to avoid the desktop picture when swapping from the initial presentation to the actual show. I do not believe the epson projector has a black screen mode, so, unfortunately, that's out. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts -- thanks!

To switch to the main presentation, you should put a hyperlink on to it on each of the four slides of your looping presentation. The hyperlink can be transparent (just set the fill and stroke of the hyperlink object to "none"), and can even cover the whole slide (so you don't have to locate it with the cursor). If you make sure that the main presentation is open when you start the looping presentation, then the switch will be very fast.

  • Lightbox images change direction in mid-presentation

    My lightbox images are changing direction in mid-presentation. They started sliding in horizontally from the right edge of frame. After 4 or 5 are presented, the next images slide in from the left side of frame.

    Is there anything different about that slide or set of slides? Have you tried copying the slides into a new Presentation or opening the Presentation under a different user on your computer?
    What are you using to advance your presentation?

  • How to convert Presenter PDF presentation into MP4?

    Hi could someone please tell me how to convert a Presenter PDF presentation into MP4? To clarify, Presenter was used to create PDF presentations with voice over the powerpoint slides. I would like to take the PDFs and convert them to MP4s using Presenter or any other way. Would appreciate any assistance that could be provided.

    Pardon my reply. This a.m. I studied the documents that transfered nicely after being passed through Acrobat Pro to MS Word and the ones that did not. Those that did were mostly black and white and the cells were not as complex. The ones that transferred but with bad formatting had cells in red, instructions in the margins, with some lettering in red but most lettering in black. Both the first set and the last set carried the suffix .pdf .

  • I need to export Presenter 10 presentations as MP4. What can I do?

    I'm creating instructional presentations in Presenter 10, but have to have MP4 as an export option because my audience won't always have access to a browser. What can I do, other than buy something other than Presenter?

    Hi,
    Currently there is no way to export your presentation as mp4.
    However, just for your information you can create mp4 videos using Adobe Presenter Video Express.

  • Animations reset if you switch away from Presenter view?

    This may be fairly unique to us, but in the middle of a Keynote presentation while in presenter view, I will have to switch away from Keynote to another application and then I would like to switch back.
    The problem is if there are 5 animations on a slide and I am on the third, when I switch back to Keynote for whatever reason Keynote is back at the first animation as if I just pulled the slide up for the first time.
    I've poked around to see if there is an option or anything to turn this "feature" off and haven't found anything. I don't know why anyone would want that behavior either.
    Anyone have any ideas? For now, I am just chopping up the slides wherever we have those kinds of transition points but it's a real pain. All I want is for Keynote to "Freeze" and chill in the background while I temporarily switch to another program that I need to show, and be right where I left it when I switch back.

    Erik,
    I think "am just chopping up the slides wherever we have those kinds of transition points" might be the best possible solution....where at the space you need to switch programs one slide ends and the transition to the next slide requires a manual click ... you use Alt+Tab to switch to the other program, run it, then when finished Alt+Tab back to KN and manually click. (Using Duplicate Slide might be helpful....deleting what you want after the other program from the first and deleting what you wanted before the other program from the second slide....with the manual transition appearing between the slides.)
    I will be interested if somebody has an alternative answer.

  • Transitions reset when Keynote is 'hidden' mid-presentation

    I often need to hide Keynote midway through a presentation to open another app. I used the h key in Keynote 08 and everything worked fine, but since I upgraded to '09 every time I hide a presentation, it resets to the beginning of that slide I was on and I have to go through all the transitions on the slide again. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Not especially elegant, but it works...
    Since you're using OS X Leopard, employ Spaces to switch into your other application in a different space (e.g., control+3 switches to space 3 while the Keynote is running -- the action will pause the presentation, even if it's in the middle of a build or transition). When you want to return to your Keynote, use either the command+tab keyboard shortcut, or click on Keynote in the Dock to resume seamlessly where the presentation was interrupted.

  • I have a problem with Powerpoint 2011 for Mac.  I began preparing a presentation and everything was working just fine.  At some point I switched away from presenter view and then back at which point the next slide had disappeared, never to be seen again.

    Did I inadvertently hit some key that blocked out the preview slide?  If so, what do I do to get it back? My presentation is on Thursday so I would appreciate any help you can give me.  Thanks.

  • Keynote suddenly changes direction in mid-presentation!

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing a weird problem with Keynote 09 (to which I recently upgraded) and a quick Google search hasn't revealed anything conclusive:
    During the presentation, Keynote suddenly decides to *go back* rather than forward to the next slide. Each click then goes back one further slide.
    Is there anything I am doing wrong? I am re-using and updating presentations created in Keynote 08.
    I need to give a lecture to 400 people tomorrow. This will have to be recorded from within Keynote so that I can place it online. I therefore can't really afford fiddling with things during the lecture. Any suggestions?

  • How do I automatically close a Presenter 9 presentation window upon successful completion?

    The current presentation window (preview) remains open - meaning the student will need to manually close each lesson.
    thanks for any thoughts of help

    '''bigralphsmith''' has already stated that he doesn't want "a forest of folders to navigate" through.
    My thought is that he has an add-on installed which is causing the Library window to close when he loads a bookmark. I suggest that he try the Firefox SafeMode, and then troubleshoot his add-ons if necessary.
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Verizon webmail issues: "send" button not present (though present in Safari)

    I had Firefox 5.0.1 and have upgraded to 9.0.1. Am running Firefox on a Mac (OS 10.6.6). The issue described occurred in both versions, but only AFTER Verizon's recent interface "upgrade."
    When creating an outgoing message in Verizon webmail, there (should be) 3 (clickable) buttons above the "from" field:
    "Send"
    "Save draft"
    "Cancel"
    These are not there/viewable, but ARE visible when I log onto Verizon webmail with Safari.
    Could adblock be interfering?
    (Disabled adblock/restarted and buttons still not present)

    Try ccmsetup.exe on APPL_TOP/FND/bin directory.

  • Other ways of adding audio recording to presentations Adobe Presenter 8?

    Hi there,
    I just realised that I asked a question in the wrong language! I have a quick question re. audio recording in AP8. Is there anyway to add audio to a presnetation other than with a traditional recording device? i.e. can audio be recorded via PC or telepohne and then be added to the presentation? if so, how?
    Many thanks!
    KH

    You can use the Import Audio tool to import any MP3 or WAV audio file. Presenter doesn't care where the audio file comes from, so as long as you can record the audio as one of those two file types, or convert it to one of those file types, you should be able to bring it into Presenter.
    To simplify the process, you may want to break up the audio files so there is one for each slide, but this can be done in the audio editor if needed.

  • Typing Information During Presentation (Interactive Presentation)

    I'm currently using Keynote '09 and had a question about a setting which I'm not sure exists or not. I am doing a presentation in a few days and part of it asks for input on ideas from the audience. Instead of writing down what they say on a nearby whiteboard, I thought it'd be most efficient to write it in Keynote while the presentation is happening. Basically making it an interactive presentation, instead of exiting out of the presentation, writing in things, and going back to playing the presentation from that slide. I was wondering if anyone knew of such a feature where typing during the presentation could be done, if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    It can't be done in Keynote. Depending on how geeky you are Quartz Composer will do it but you'll need to get your head around it!

  • Can't Open a Keynote Presentation - Says "Presentation Can't be Opened"

    I have one presentation . . . The one I need next week.  HA!  I was halfway through creation - Went back after a meal, tried to open . . . Box Popos Up says, "Presentation Can't Be Opened"
    Any help would be apprecieated.
    I tried: 
    Shutting down the program via double click and swipe close
    Copying (same thing)
    ReStarting the ipad
    Resetting the ipad
    THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP

    You'll need to Compress or Archive the file before attempting to FTP. FTP files are actually "folders" with all the info needed to recreate the presentation. Because where you're FTP-ing to probably won't understand how this file system works, it's best to Right-Click on the .key file then choose "Compress" or "Archive" and send that .zip file that gets created.
