Where did "custom slide size" go in Keynote 6?

I just upgraded to Maverick, and the new Keynote, but can't find the option to change my slide size. Used to be inside the old inspector, under document, custom slide size. Help, where'd it go?

Click the "setup" cog on the upper right.
and, towards the bottom, you'll see "Slide Size".

Creating a Custom Slide Size

I am trying to create a custom slide size: I figure there is a simple way to do so, but I cannot find it.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

In the Document Inspector, there is a dropdown menu that sets the slide size, and one of the options is "Custom slide size...".

Custom Slide Size!!!

Hi,
I'm having trouble resizing a slide, and I was wondering if someone could help?
I am using a custom size, and got it down to 1500 X 200, I need it to be 1500 X 125, but it won't let me reduce the height to that setting. Can anyone tell me why, and is there a way to do this?
Thank you,
Todd

It appears that 200 pixels is the smallest that either dimension can be. If you need something that size, you would probably be better off using a graphics app. That said, if you are running Leopard, you can create your slide at 1500 X 200, then use the utility Grab.app to select a 1500 X 125 section of the slide.
This presumes that you are just creating a graphic, and don't need to run a slideshow. As far as I know, there is no way to present slides smaller than 200 pixels on any side.

Where did "reduce file size" go?

My co-worker has acrobat reader version 7 and has a "reduce file size" option under the "file" menu. I am on verion 9 and cannot find this option. Can anyoen point me to where I can find it. Thank you.

If he has "reduce file size" then he has Acrobat, not Reader. There is no "Acrobat Reader".

Where did my slide show go

What happened to my slide show?
I guess this question puts me at the level below novice, but that's fine as long as I get an answer.
I created a slide show yesterday, pressed the save key several times during production, then shut down.
Today as I want to open and continue editing the show I don't know how to do that. I can't find the show.
Would appreciate any help. Les

Keynote Slide Size

I used to create images in Photoshop in 1024x768 then drag them to Keynote which was set up as 1024x768px size slides. Now, with 6.1, I don't see a way to customize my slides in pixel format. Am I missing something?

The 6.1 version of KN does NOT support a pixel size image
I have to be blunt; this is nonsense. The unit of measurement in Keynote is pixels, the final product is a file that calculates pixels, and what can be seen on screen is pixels.
Did you know that point is a measurement of the height of a letter press type, nothing to do with graphic shapes? Photoshop uses point size so that type can be placed in proportion correctly.
In Keynote, this is all easily confirmed;
A 1 Point screen size is interpreted as requiring 1.333 pixels (this is an agreed international standard)
type in the value 800 x 800 in the slide size window in Keynote, export to TIFF and an exact 800 x 800 pixel image is created.
Therefore if Keynote measured in points, the image would export as 600 x 600 pixels.
You can if you wish use points in Photoshop, just remember to recalculate the values by 1.333
I repeat again, if you compose your images in Photoshop, input pixels and set to dpi to 72 and all images will import full screen and centered.

Is there a way to adjust a slide size beyond what the presets are?

You know how different templates have different sizes maxes, such as in these examples:
Well is there a way to make a smaller template, larger? A lot of the templates that I'd really like to use in my project, are just too small.

Yes, in the Document pane of the inspector, towards the bottom, you'll see "Slide Size" click the button next to it and choose "Custom slide size..."
Now, when you put in this new size, and it stretches your graphics larger, they may not look as nice as you want, but that's how you change the size.

3 by 1 slide size

I would like to have my slide 3 times as wide as it is high. There is not a custom size setting and no 3 by 1 equivalent in my options when starting a new slide show. How do I do this?

After you create a slide show, in the Document Inspector, under the Slide Size popup, select "Custom Slide Size…" and enter your desired slide size.

Change slide size without resizing objects?

Is it possible to change the slide size without causing Keynote '09 to resize all the objects on each slide?

As far as I can tell it's not possible. You have to make a new presentation with the size you want and copy paste everything from the previous presentation into it.

Setting up the correct custom project size size for keynote presentation in FCP 7 or motion?

Hi...anyone else do this?
I have been creating and editing films in FCP (not X) for years now and have got into creating the whole presentation for clients awards ceremonies etc. via Keynote on my iPad via HDMI to HD projectors and it looks amazing and is seamless on the night. No need for crappy powerpoint slides and jumping to low res DVD films - its all controlled via my iPad.
But i want to up the creativity of the presentations - at the moment we import the films as mp4 HD QT files and jpegs of the speakers/nominees/titles screens etc. created in Photoshop and put the whole thing together in Keynote on my iPad. It worked a treat and my clients love it!
Now i had a thought and did a test and created Motion graphics versions of the speakers titles and nominees screens in Apple Motion - so that they had an animated section at the start with whoosh audio stingers as they are played and not just stills - and then export them as QT files - import to FCP 7 timeline and export to compresser ready to convert to mp4 for Keynote.
This way i can extend the static part of the screen after the motion graphic part to say 10 mins as i never know how long the speaker will be on stage.
Then when the speaker moves on the next item i can hit the ipad which will move to the next presentaion screen!
Q. Now ive been doing these as HD 16:9 screens - but when imported to Keynote I have a white band top and bottom on the screen so i really need to start with a template screen size of 1024 x 768 for Keynote and also keep this size in FCP 7! And also export to Quicktime as the same size.
When i do static jpegs to import into Keynote i just define the pixel canvas size - 1024 x 768 @ 300dpi in Photoshop and it works fine but im not sure what to do in Motion or PCP as I have always created my films in 16:9 HD widescreen preset!
Anyone else doing this and got a solution to my problem and can help with custom project sizes in motion and FCP 7!

1024x768 is 4x3. 2048x1536 is 4x3. Both of these are current display dimensions for iPads 1-3.
HD video (1920x1080 or 1280x720) is a 16x9 aspect ratio.
Try putting a rectangle in a square. Unless you scale the retangle up and lose image on the sides you will not be able to properly fill the entire 4x3 display area. The easy compromise is letterboxing to ensure all of the rectangle is display in the square. The iPad is doing this with very little effort on your part.
In FC you can create a new sequence and go into the settings and customize it to 1024x768, 2048x1536 or
just about any other dimension. Even If you create a custom sequence at 1024 or 2048 in FC you will see the same results that the iPad is giving you with much less effort, render and conversion time (presuming your keynote workspace cannot change in dimensions or aspect ratio and you are unwilling to crop your 16x9 aspect ratio video to fill the space.)

Unable to create Keynote Keynote in 2048x1536 px. for iPad w/ retina display. This option doesn't appear under "Slide Size". Keynote 5.1.1.

I have tried creating a Keynote document for iPad 3 but 2048x1536 does not appear under thre options for slide size.
The biggest is 1920x1080. I have updated all software and Keynote is on the latest version 5.1.1. I have tried on two different machines but I get the same issue.
Any ideas what it could be?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page lines?

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

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.

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

I am making my first keynote presentation. I transferred the slides from a power point. I did not use a 'theme' from keynote. Keynote will not let me 'name' the presentation and the 'save as' option will not come up in the menu. What have I done wrong

When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range. Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote. Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation. Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs. Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get. There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') . See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there. Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

Keynote ver. 3: setting individual slide sizes?

Hi, this is the first question I've ever posted in an online discussion group (I can't afford to pull out any more hair).
Brief background: I'm using Keynote to assemble a presentation for an annual architectural design awards program; this is my first time in six years not using PowerPoint, one of many reasons being that I could never manually adjust slide orientation but rather had to go with 100% portrait or landscape. The images that firms submit are always a mixed bag of horizontal and vertical images and it's a pain having to resize half (read: 500) of them -- plus I always get a few complaints that I've compromised the clarity of their professionally-photographed building details. bah!
Is there a trick to accomplishing this in Keynote? I'm using the "slide size" feature in the document inspector, but it's only letting me make across-the-board changes, not slide by slide. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Welcome to the discussion board, weirhaus.
I'm not sure I really understand your question. Keynote can't set sizes for individual slides, but this shouldn't be a problem. All projectors have a "native" orientation of landscape, and a native resolution (800 X 600, 1024 X768, etc.). This is just like your computer monitor. Changing the orientation of the slides in Keynote will not change the resolution or orientation of the projector itself (just as it wouldn't change your monitor's orientation or resolution), and orienting the slides as portrait will only mean that you are cutting off the sides of the display -- it would be exactly equivalent to simply putting the same image onto a black landscape slide of the same height as the "portrait" slide.
As for the "clarity" of the images, the resolution you have to work with is the resolution of the projector -- if you project a 4000 pixel tall image on a projector with a native height of 768 pixels, you will necessarily lose some resolution, and there is very little that can be done.
Can you explain a bit more what you need to do?
