Transition to next slide automatically at end of voice over clip

I have been trying to configure my Keynote 09 presentation so that each slide has it's own voice over audio clip. When the audio clip ends I would like to have the presentation move onto the next slide automatically. I cannot for the life of me find settings that tall the slide transition to take place when an audio clip ends.
I do not want to set a slide time to 8 seconds if the audio is 8 seconds. I update the audio too much to keep adjusting slide timings.
Can Keynote do this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

To the best of my knowledge, no.
Having said that, if it takes you 1 minute to re-record audio file and re-insert audio to KN, it takes you 2 seconds to change the transition time so not sure your grief is so dramatic. Have to inspectors visible when you are replacing audio. One inspector on QT to show time length one inspector on Slide to change the transitions. If it is to dramatic then *Apple Menu > Keynote Feedback…* and ask for a build option that detects media elapsed time / end time is best suggestion I can offer.

How can I get voice over clips to automatically go into its own folder in CS6

When I make a voice over clip while in PP CS6, the clip goes into the project folder. I want them to automatically go into the folder that corresponds to the clip I am doing the voice over for, but I can't seem to do this unless I manually move the clip over..

Thanks for your help here, but I made a mistake in presenting my problem.
I meant getting them to go into the selected bin, not folder, my mistake. Prior to recording the voice over, I highlight the bin I want the .wav file to go into and when finishing the recording, it goes into the project window, not into the selected bin. The only way I can get it into the bin is to manually move it there.
Do you know how to solve my problem by having the voice over go into the preselected bin?

Quiz - Show "Correct!" and move to next slide automatically.

I would like the "Correct" message to show on Submit, wait a second (so they can see it) and then move to the next question automatically. But I also would like it to work in the std method for incorrect answers. (show msg, require a click to acknowledge they got it wrong, then move on to the next question. Is this possible?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
You can skip one of the two steps, as I explained in this blog post, but only if you do it both for Correct/Incorrect answers. If you want a different behavior you'll need to create custom question slides. In Captivate 6 you can insert a shape button on a question slide, which could then simulate this behavior, but in CP5.5 no interactive objects can be added. You'll find a lot of use cases for custom question slides on my blog as well.

How do I stop the Cp from advancing automatically to the next slide?

I'm using Windows NT and Adobe Captivate 4.
Until now, I've been creating demos in Cp4 where the movie file just continues to the next slide automatically. Now I'm making the Cp files more interactive and would like to know how to make the movie not advance to the next screen automatically. In other words, I'd like the user to have to click the Next button to move to the next slide.
Thank you.

Hi there
You do this by inserting a Click Box or a Button object on each slide. Either of these objects will typically pause the slide until clicking the object or another action makes it proceed.
Cheers... Rick

Can I make the slide automatically move on the the next page?

Like I have media on a keynote presentation and 3 seconds after it finishes I want it to move on to the next slide automatically. Is this possible?
Cheers.

No one can help???

Can I unpause a question slide automatically?

Once a question slide enters the pause state, waiting for the button to be pressed to move on, can I make it advance to the next slide automatically if the user does nothing for say 5 seconds?
Thanks

Thanks Lilybiri, I think custom slides will help me and your blog is very useful.
The real reason I want timed slides is that I'm trying to make a quiz which will syncronise to a DVD playing on another device. The idea is to start the DVD playing and start the Captiv8 quiz at exactly the same time. The video will then play (it can't be skipped or paused) and contains 5 questions over 5 minutes. I need question 1 to appear at exactly 1 minute in, question 2 to appear at 2 mins in, and so on for all five questions. The problem is that these question slides need to appear at the right time, every time, no matter if a user has answered a question, pressed something, changed their mind, done nothing at all , or had several attempts or whatever, without changing the total length of the quiz which will always be exactly the same length as the video on the DVD whatever the user does.
I really need a kind of 'master clock', perhaps on a master slide (?), which will force the Captv8 to turn to the right question at the right time, no matter how long the users take to answer, or even if they do nothing and ignore a question completely. I would like to add a countdown timer on each question too, so they know how long they have to answer before the slide disappears and moves on automatically. It's a high pressure quiz, as you have written about in the timer blog you wrote, but where the Captiv8 quiz won't alter its overall length whatever happens. Obviously I need to give them a score at the end.
Hope you have some suggestions!
Thanks again.

Parts of image carry to next slide when scrolling

Hi
I'm having trouble when I scroll with either full motion
recording, or using manual screen capture.
The image is a table and lines of the table carry over to the
next slide. These lines that carry over are not present when I look
at the slides in edit view, it's only when I preview or publish.
Any ideas why this happens. I can remove them if I use full
motion recording very, very, very slowly. But this is not perfect
either. I've done quite a lot of capturing over the last 12 months
and haven't encountered this before.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Th other thing I should mention is sometimes parts of lines
go missing as you are scrolling.

Stopping Automatic transition to new slide

Hello,
I'm sure this is right in front of my face somewhere, but I
cannot figure out how to stop captivate from automatically
proceeding to next slide. I've created a full motion video that
spans over two slides. After then end of slide one, it
automatically goes to slide two. I've inserted a transparent button
I want the user to click before proceeding to the slide two, and
gave it the action of "Go To Next Slide" when clicked. Doesn't work
though... Slide still automatically moves on without having to
click first. I didn't see anything under slide properties for this
either.
Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to our community, Jason!
Normally you pause a slide by inserting either a Button or
Click Box object. These two objects pause the slide dead in its
tracks until the user clicks. However, whether the slide pauses or
not is your choice. You may turn it off if you need to. But by
default, they pause.
Cheers... Rick

How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale. Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to: "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

Transition of slides go to blank screen instead of next slide

I can't figure this out. I have the transitions set up and when the transition happens instead of going to the next slide with photos and words I get what looks like a blank slide. Same color as the background for the next slide but no content. If I continue to advance the slide, I eventually get the next slide. It's almost like there are extra blank slides in between my 2 slides. This is happening with a number of my slides. I am wondering if it's because I duplicated certain slides, then deleted the content and added new content to that slide. Does the duplicated slide show up as a blank slide? what's going on? Please help!

Thank you for your suggestion. I think I know what happened. I took existing blank slides (no themes) that I had text boxes on and I duplicated them because I wanted the exact background to the new slide but not the text. I deleted the text from the duplicated slide and built my new slide on that background. Apparently, that's where the issue began.
I created new slides by deleting text/images from old slides because I was having difficulty getting the master slide to show up. I would open my master slide viewer, select the master slide I wanted, close the master slide viewer and click on "new slide". I would never get the slide I had just selected from the master slide viewer. It would always be some other slide not the one I wanted. So, to circumvent that frustration, I just duplicated slides that I was somehow lucky enough to create with the correct background (even if they had text/images) and just delete any of the unwanted material. Frustrating.
Thanks again for your helpful suggestions. If I continue to run into this problem I will definitely do as you asked. I love Apple discussion groups. You guys are the best.

How do i automatically start the next slide after the video on the prevues slide is finished

I have slide 1 with a video loop witch tranistion to the next on a click. the next slide (slide2) automaticlly starts plays. I want to know how to start Slide 3 automaticlly after the video on slide 2 is done playing. Slide 3 is also on a loop. and start slide 4 on a click. then repeats......

I once had the same problem, but it was worse because the length of the video was more than the maximum delay that could be set (Keynote'08, I do not know if this changed in '09). I was helped by someone of this community. She suggested adding invisible text fields, each having a delay, sequenced one after the other. Together they added up to a sufficient delay to play my video and go to the next slide after that. I hope this information will be of use, if need arises.

How do I set my project to advance to next slide on mouse click vs just play?

Captivate 6 on mac running OS 10.7.5 file format in question .htm (firefox)
I'm brand new to Captivate 6 (never used it before) I have put together a mock presentation from scratch which has a few introductory slides then a quiz. When I publish it there is a "play" button which is NOT the behavior I want.
I watched a training video from Lynda.com and the insstructor imported a PPT file, there was a dialog box which asked the how to advance slide, there was a drop down menu and one of two options was advance "on mouse click". This is the behavior I'm looking for.
I've scoured the internet and forums etc to find a comparable option elsewhere in Captivate 6 when creating from scratch vs importing from PPT and cannot find one anywhere. I've also read that you can insert a click box object and that that would do what I'm looking for but that doesn't work either.
Does any such option exist and if so where/ how do I get to it/ use it. Please see attachments below. First screen shot is the first slide I get which isn't the first slide either, what's up with that? Next one is simply to show how the project just "plays" instead of advancing slide by slide. Third is my publish dialog box. Bottom line I don't want a "play" button I want the user to mouse click next, next, next etc. How do I do this?
Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Maybe I understand something wrongly, but thought you also wanted to know how you can make slides advance on clicking the Next button instead of having it playing on automatically? And instead of using the playbar you want to have a Previous and Next button?
The way imported PPT with advance on Mouse click works is because there is a click box added to each slide that pauses that slide at its end. The user has to click on the slide to advance.
A click box is an 'interactive' object: this means that you can have it pausing the slide, that the user can interact with it and trigger an action like 'Go to Next Slide'.
You added (from what I see on the last screenshot) another interactive object, but now I'm confused: the third screenshot has a Prev and Next arrow, I think those are shapes. You do not need to add a click box on top of them (what I see on the last screenshot), they can be converted themselves into buttons. I blogged a lot about those shape buttons. Anyway, both click box and shape button can pause the slide. This is the case by default for click boxes (at the end of their duration, their timeline), for shape buttons you have to tell them to pause in the Timing accordion. In your case I certainly would choose a shape button because they can be put on a master slide, or timed for the rest of the project whereas Click boxes need to be unique on each slide, you'l have a lot of copy/paste to do then. In the Action accordion, On Success you choose the action, I think in this case you want 'Go to Next Slide' for the Next 'thing'
As for the first screenshot, Rod explained that you cannot get rid of the play button for pdf output, but you can have a poster image instead of the blank screen. There is a folder icon in Preferences, Project, Start and End when you deselect AuotPlay.
Here is a link to an article where I explain shape buttons:

There is an on-demand webinar as well on the Adobe site which I presented, only about shape buttons.

All Quiz Slides Automatically Changed (by captivate) when ANY change is made to a Quiz Slide

When I make a change to a quiz slide, captivate automatically adds the "Back" button (which was previously deleted) to *all* quiz slides and extends *all* quiz slide length by several seconds. This is very frustrating to have to go back to every quiz slide (which are interspersed thought the project) to remove the "back" button and correct the slide length. Thoughts anyone?

Did you read that blog post that I indicated in the other thread about questions?
Default pausing point is at 1.5 secs. If you leave the Success/Last attempt action to default 'Continue' users have to wait 1.5secs, never 3 secs.
If you want to reduce the time, you can drag the pausing point bit more to the right to decrement the non-active part (not totally till end). That is the best solution, especially if some users will have to work with restricted bandwidth. Or you use Go to Next Slide instead of Continue for the actions.

Keynote '09: 2 transition effects per slide initiated by 2 hyperlinks?

I want to do a flip book. So far it looks great.
I'm using forward and back hyperlinks to transition b/w slides.
Problem: I can only get one style of transition effects/slide, so when I flip back to a previous slide the flip animation looks like I'm flipping forward.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok... After more scouring, I found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2355380?start=0&tstart=0
Which had this part buried in it:
Remove the navigation (rip out the hyperlinks), set the presentation to run as a Normal Presentation, then Share>QuickTime>Fixed Timing. That's right, I said Fixed Timing. Turns out me and a lot of other people (and yes, some tier 1 support folk at Apple) misunderstood Fixed Timing. Fixed Timing lets a Normal presentation run with the audio and moves on to the next slide when the audio is finished - which is exactly what I wanted (the QuickTime controls automatically appear after the movie is rendered). Slide Duration is actually the delay between slides so set this to 1 second and Build Duration affects the timing of the Builds, but I also set this to 1 second since it was destined for web delivery (bandwidth!).
I struck thru the first part b/c that wasn't relevant to my issue, BUT... what WAS relevant was removing all of my carefully timed slide delay transitions, then using the above method. It worked flawlessly, as far as I can tell. It seems without documentation or help of any kind (that I could find) no one, even Apple support staff, knows what the true function of Fixed Timing is supposed to be. So hopefully, if someone else stumbles across this post, they'll be able to do the right thing, from the start and not waste hours with expensive or additional programs and work arounds.
Follow the above method and still get your timed HD quality Quicktime .mov.
