Using keynote on iDVD

Hello!
Is there some way to use a keynote or powerpoint presentation on iDVD? I need to make a presentation on a DVD instead of through a computer. I lack the expertise or money to pay for a presentation made with Motion or Final Cut.
Thanks!

Hi Len!
First of all, thanks for all your prompt help! And yes its probably been covered already but it turns out I did not need to look them up. I discovered it all by myself! Its quite easy actually... you save your keynote presentation and then you select "export" as a movie and you get different compression options which you have to choose from and that´s it! Once I had the movie done in quicktime (800x600) I tried it out in iMovie and iDVD and it worked like a charm!
Hope this helps somebody else!

Audio transfer issues from Keynote to iDVD???

Hi all;
I built my presentation in Keynote.
I recorded the slideshow, so that way I can export it with the recorded timing.
I turned down the built in microphone in system preferences.
However, when I'm "previewing" my keynote through iDVD, I can't hear my sound...
What's the deal??
Thanks in advance!!

Can you tell me how you did this, I am having similar problems. I created a photo slideshow using Keynote 08, but when I exported to iDvd, my audio was not there and I did check the audio box before exporting.
Also, do you know how I can add multiple audio tracks on keynote and not just to the slides?

New to apple and wondering if using keynote is easier than power point.

Hello all,
I have only been using os x for about 6 months, and I was wondering if using keynote is easier than power point? I am in school so I need to know if keynote will save in ppt format. The school that I go to only uses MS office 97 to 2004 format for all docs and power points. Is using keynote that much different?

i find keynote MUCH easier in almost all areas. it did take me a little learning in the beginning. the main thing to know is that apple uses a floating pallet call "inspector" to control just about all the details of the presentation. they also have a "formatting bar" which is conceptually similar to the formatting bars microsoft uses in the previous versions of office (font size, etc...).
the basic entry for slides is the same, where one just types into the fields on the slides. what i find much better is the control i have in the "inspector" to fine tune anything. i've gotten completely dependent on keynotes "staging" which is how one makes the slides animate. if i have a series of bullets and a diagram, i use the staging to get the diagram to be revealed in stages and to get the bullets appear one at a time in sync with the diagram i'm explaining. nothing is more boring for an audience to have someone just stand up, thru up a slide with 100 words and read the text bullets.
i find keynote to be much easier to develop diagrams or to copy and paste in a PDF picture. then add the staging effects i need to develop the story to explain the diagram or picture. it does take a little learning how to do it the first couple times. but the interface is consistent and it's not hard to learn it.
the only aspect i find a little easier in powerpoint is the indenting style, which is controlled in one of the editing buttons in office 11 and before. keynote controls the indenting from the "inspector" instead of having a little button in the formatting bar. but in every other way, i find keynote to be MUCH easier to use. and it has other features that powerpoint doesn't have. plus iwork is very inexpensive compared to microsoft office. finally, if you are near an apple store, they have free seminars on iWork fairly often. the 1st time i used keynote, i went to the apple store workshop and got a few answers. just see how easy it is to get person to person help for microsoft office...
the only other game in town are the various releases of the open source programs, "open office" and "neo office". they are free, also read and write ppt files, but are a little harder to use than keynote and don't have as many features.
anyway, that's my experience.
good luck!

I use keynote 5.1 and am bombarded with popups asking me to update to KN 6. I tried 6 after upgrading to Maverick. Do not like it.

I use keynote 5.1 and love it. I tried Keynote 6 and do not like it.
My problem is that I am bombarded by popups asking me to
update to Keynote 6
This reduce my work speed to a snails pace.
Would be most delighted to find a solution to the problem.
Thanks

Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

Using Keynote and iPhoto slideshow together

Computer: 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz
Display: 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200)
Software: OSX 10.4.9, Keynote 2, iPhoto 6
Hi everyone! Above are the specs for the project I'm working on and here's the problem I'm having:
I am trying to create a makeshift kiosk display for an upcoming event using slides in Keynote and a picture slideshow in iPhoto. I'm planning on running it off my Powerbook to my 23" Cinema Display.
I'm using Keynote for the presentation content because of the motion effects (transitions, build-ins, etc.) and iPhoto for the image slideshow because of the Ken Burns effect (which I don't believe Keynote has). Both look great running seperately, however when this is being displayed at the show, I'll need both to run back to back automatically, without having to manually switch back and forth between applications.
I have both the Keynote presentation and the iPhoto slideshow displaying at 1920x1200. I've tried exporting the iPhoto slideshow to Quicktime, but it won't export any higher than 640x480. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? I won't be able to operate the computer when this is running, so I really need to find a way to make everything run seamlessly while keeping the high resolution of the 1920x1200 monitor.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,

iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
I would change a few things to make everything work together:
First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
Easier to change the display than the files.

HT204378 2 iOS8.1.1 devices can't connect via BT "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth" - HT6112

I'm unable to get to iOS devices to connect via Bluetooth for Keynote control. It's described above under the heading "Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth". Am I missing something? I see the article mentions iOS8 so I know it's been updated recently. I also see that this hasn't worked in the past. Curious that the articles suggests it can be done now.
I have 3 iOS devices all 8.1.1.
iPhone 5
iPhone 5s
iPad 3rd Gen
Thanks,
Russell

Just talked to Bose and learned the solution.
Reset the speaker ....hold down the bluetooth button until you hear a tone. Delete the Bose in the Bluetooth Device directory on the iPad. When it is automatically rediscovered it will connect.
Worked for me .....

Using Keynote Tiger

Hello,
Currently I am completing an online learning course dealing with creating digital portfolio's.
I want to use Keynote, but find that I cannot hyperlink slides to "Word" documents or pdf files so that I can include them in the digital portfolio
Is there a way that I can do this, using this program?

Hi, webrown. Welcome to the Discussions.
I suggest you try your question on the Keynote Discussion. That's where the Keynote gurus hang out.
Good luck!

Using keynote in ibooks author do you set slide size to 2048x1536

For my second book I want to use the keynote widgit. If I set the slide size to 2048x1536 will that be ok for the ipad 2 and origanal ipad in addition to the new ipad? Also, when you initially bring an image (jpg) into keynote that will eventually be for import into ibooks author should it be resized to 2048x1536 just as we do when bringing one directly into ibooks author. I am using keynote 5.1.1.

Why when using keynote on my i-pad do I have no sound through the i-pad speakers and only sound when I plug in external speakers or headphones?

Why do I get no sound through the i-pad speakerts when using Keynotes but when external speakers or headphones are plugged in sound is there. Also how do you get back to the program page when in play mode on i-pad?

Whoa, I found the answer by clicking on one of the questions in the "More Like This" box to the right. I do wonder how to find that box before posting my dumb question. The answer turned out to be checking the youtube volume control. I turned that up and it solved the problem for Comast as well.

I use Keynote on iPad2. Video out via composite AV cable, audio out through earphone socket. If I plug into the earphone socket first, then the AV cable - no sound. AV first, then earphone - sound. Anyone know why?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Using Keynote from another Mac

My work group just recently purchased a single copy of iWork '08 and installed it on a G5 running OSX 10.5. We had hoped to be able to log onto this machine remotely and be able to use Keynote. Unfortunately when I try to open Keynote on my Mac Pro I get the screen saying that my 30 day trial is over. Is what we are trying to do even possible? If so does anyone know how to properly do this? Thanks

Tulse is paraphrasing the EULA, which says:
"Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time."
And a Family Pack, which allows up to 5 users, probably wouldn't be legal for you, either, since this license "does not extend to business or commercial users".
Sounds like the only way for you to not be a pirate is to buy several single-users. Consequently, anyone advising you on how to do what you're attempting to would help you be a pirate. We're not allowed to do that.

Can't use Keynote Remote Because of iPhone 5's Bluetooth

I use Keynote Remote with my iPhone 5 to MacBook Air. WiFi works well but Bluetooth doesn't work at all. How to solve this problem.
P.S.
iPhone 5 - iOS 6.0.2
MacBook Air - OS X v.10.8.2

Here's Apple's instructions:
Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth
When a Wi-Fi connection is unavailable you can use Keynote Remote with Bluetooth to control your Keynote slideshow from one iOS device to another (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch). However, slides may take longer to appear on Keynote Remote when connected via Bluetooth. You cannot use Keynote Remote via Bluetooth with a Mac. The following steps use Keynote Remote on an iPhone to control a Keynote presentation on an iPad via Bluetooth.
iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
iPad: Open a Keynote presentation.
iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. If you have previously paired your iPhone or iPad, you can immediately begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow. If this is the first time pairing with these iOS devices, refer to the steps in "Linking Keynote Remote to Another iOS Device," above.
Note: If your iPhone displays the message "No connection available. Both devices must be connected to a Wi-Fi network or have Bluetooth turned on," continue with the steps above because you may still be able to use Keynote Remote with Bluetooth

SHould I use keynote for this?

We will exhibit at the Frankfurt ProLight+Sound this year and the task of producing the picture slideshow with promotional material has fallen on to my desk.
Plan is to have three plasma screens connected in to one giant screen so that images move from one screen to another, to the third, and so on.
Should I use keynote to produce this? Or is it better to do something in iMovie/FCE/FCP? Or is Director the software to use?
The other thing is that this will run either on a PC or off a DVD player and it has to be looped.
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest using FCP because I don't think iMovie can show 3 pictures at the same time. FCP does cost a lot and is used by many to edit movies (Like any movie you would see in a theater). I wouldn't suggest buying it if your not going to use it a lot. Then use Keynote. Make the pictures move with each slide. Loop it and make it a QuickTime (.mov). Click 'Manual Advance' and change it to 'Fixed Timing'. Click 'None' and change it to 'Loop'. Check 'Enter full screen mode when opened'. Click on 'Full Quality, Large' and change it to 'CD-ROM Movie, Medium'. Check 'Include transparency'. That should make it easy to burn to CD/DVD and play back on a Windows Machine. On a VCR I have no idea.
