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.

  • Screensaver during Keynote

    Hi there,
    is there a way to enable the screensaver during a keynote presentation? I couldn't find anything in the preferences
    thx

    I can't get the screen-saver up during a slideshow, not sure if that's the usual experience.
    One thing you can do is bring the slideshow into keynote. Sort off, any screen-saver ending in .qtz (turn file extensions viewing on in finder or get info) is a Quartz file which will drop straight into Keynote . Arabesque that ships with Leopard works, just give it a black background.
    Any RSS feed tricks and the like will not work though just you basic and not so basic visualisations. Screen-savers are located in System> Library >Screen Savers Folder, Library >Screen Savers Folder, and ~/Library >Screen Savers Folder.
    Also some iTunes visualises can be used but lose there sound reactive capacity.

  • 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).

    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.

  • 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).

  • Enforce screensaver during Powerpoint presentation mode?

    Scenario: Windows 7 Enterprise / Office 2007
    Our group policy is set to enforce screensaver after 15 minutes of inactivity but a Powerpoint file in presentation mode defeats this setting.
    Is there any way possible to continue enforcement of screensaver settings during Powerpoint presentation mode? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    Have you checked the Presentation Settings under Windows Mobility Center?
    When you turn on presentation settings, your laptop stays awake and system notifications are turned off. You can also turn off the screen saver, adjust the speaker volume, and change your desktop background image.

  • Is it possible to enable screensaver during a powerpoint presentation?

    On my previous Mac screensaver would operate as per system preferences during a slideshow in powerpoint.  With Mountain Lion screensaver is automatically disabled during slideshow.  Is there a way to enable it?

    The ExportPDF service does not convert to PowerPoint, only Word & Excel. 
    Our new release, Acrobat XI Pro has the ability to convert PDF to PowerPoint.  http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I enable plugins during Private Browsing sessions?

    I sometimes use Private Browsing. However, I noticed that when Private Browsing is enabled, plugins are disabled. I assume this is because some of the plugins maintain personal data, so Firefox cannot guarantee that the plugins will not store personal data during the Private Browsing session.
    Still, I want to enable plugins during Private Browsing and I accept the risks involved. But I have not yet figured out how to enable plugins during Private Browsing.
    How do I do enable plugins during Private Browsing?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == since Private Browsing was built into Firefox

    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private+Browsing
    The disabling of '''''plugins''''' isn't a feature of Private Browsing, what indication do you have that ''something'' is disabled?
    Or, are you talking about certain '''''extensions''''' or their features being disabled??
    That shouldn't happen either, unless a particular extension uses or extends the features in Firefox that are disabled in Private Browsing mode. I imagine that an extension that deals with Passwords, any type of History ''(like Download List, Forms, or Search)'', visited pages ''(browsing history)'', the Cache, or Cookies isn't going to work as it would in the "normal browsing" mode.

  • 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.

  • Want to add some animated 3D visualizations to my Keynote Presentation

    I want to kick my Keynote presentation up a notch and add some animated 3D visualizations to further enhance my design explanation. It would involve creating some basic 3D models from scratch and then animating a sequence to explain how it is put together along with some other effects.
    Can this be done in Final Cut Studio 2? or do I need to look further? Anybody know what my options are?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Bill ~ I haven't worked with 3D, but Final Cut Studio 2 includes _Motion 3_ which appears to allow only 2D objects (images & video) to be animated within a 3D space. If that's so, then _Maxon Cinema 4D_ may provide what you're looking for. More sources for Mac animation s/w is here:

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Project something on the bottom of the screen DURING a Keynote presentation?

    I need to be able to project something on the bottom of the screen DURING a Keynote presentation. Is that possible? At our church we have a numbering system for parents/kids and occassionaly we need to project the number so the parent can go check on their child. How can we do that during an active Keynote presentation?
