Introduction
Welcome
00:00 Hi, my name's Rich Harrington. And today, I'm going to be talking to you
00:07 about one of my favorite pieces of software, Apple Keynote.
00:11 I've been using Keynote from the very beginning, in fact, I've authored every
00:14 edition of the official Apple guide to iWork, which covers Keynote.
00:18 And, I use Keynote almost every day with my business...
00:22 What I find is that when I need to give a presentation, nothing is better than
00:25 Keynote. But that's where everything falls apart,
00:28 when it comes time to actually give the presentation.
00:31 In today's training, we're going to focus on a lot of pieces of practical advice,
00:34 all about the actual act of delivering a presentation.
00:38 We're going to cover techniques to make sure the presentation is ready to go and
00:41 that you know how to take advantage of some of the tools inside of Keynote, as
00:44 well as with your iPad or iPhone, to deliver an effective presentation.
00:49 We'll also explore some of the mechanics of hooking up to projectors and
00:53 television sets to make sure that your presentation is ready to go and looks its
00:56 best. So, we've got a lot to cover.
00:59 Let's jump in and start to explore.

Using the exercise files
00:00 If your lynda.com membership includes it, you'll find some downloadable exercise
00:04 files to use throughout today's lesson. These exercise files are designed to help
00:08 you get the most from the lesson, and will just be used during the
00:11 presentation. Now, you're free to use one of your own
00:14 presentations and follow along as well. In either case, just make sure that you
00:19 have a KeyNote presentation ready to go, so you can get the most from the
00:22 activities we're going to explore.

1. Getting Organized
Reviewing presentations with Light Table view
00:00 Before I give a presentation, I like to get a visual overview of all the slides
00:03 in that presentation. Sometimes, I want to reorder sections, or
00:07 decide to drop a few slides before I give the final presentation.
00:12 A useful way of doing that is the Light Table view.
00:15 With the presentation open, you can click on the View pop up menu.
00:20 And choose Light Table. You'll also similar controls under the
00:25 View menu. Let's go ahead into full screen mode to
00:28 minimize the distractions. Once here I can adjust the size of the
00:33 thumbnails making it easy to see them. If necessary I can go to quite a large
00:37 thumbnail. But I generally try to work with medium
00:40 so I can see a few more slides at once. Within Light Table view here, it's very
00:46 easy to move things around. So, if I'd like to change the order of
00:50 two slides, I could do that by simply dragging, and they'll rearrange.
00:56 You see that it's quite simple to reorder your presentation.
01:00 If you want to move an entire selection of slides, simply click.
01:05 And hold down the Shift key to select a range.
01:09 This makes it very easy to go ahead and move an entire section, to rearrange the
01:14 flow. If you decide you want to drop some
01:18 slides from your presentation, that's easy as well.
01:21 Right-click or Ctrl click on an individual slide, and choose skip slide.
01:28 You'll see that your slides renumber, but that the individual slide is still there
01:32 in the presentation. If you change your mind, you could just
01:36 right click gain and choose Don't Skip Slide to bring it back.
01:40 A skipped slide will not show up on the screen, but it's still in your
01:43 presentation. Skipping slides is a useful way to
01:47 shorten a presentation, without permanently deleting your work.
01:51 Often times you'll find you'll need to trim a presentation based on last minute
01:54 feedback, or you decide during rehearsals that a certain section really isn't
01:58 working This allows you to take it out temporarily then in the future if you
02:01 need it just put it back in, using the light table view is an easy way to see a
02:05 comprehensive view of your entire presentation.
02:11 Remember, you can change the size quite easily and just use standard scrolling to
02:16 navigate through the presentation as desired.

Adding presenter notes
00:00 A useful feature many don't take advantage of, are presenter notes.
00:04 These are essentially comments, or more details that you'd like to see during
00:08 your presentation. When you set up your screen correctly, or
00:12 you take advantage of the keynote remote, you could see these notes, but your
00:14 audience can't. Now I don't recommend that you populate
00:19 this with a full script. But sometimes some additional points that
00:22 you want to make that you don't want represented on the slide, can be
00:25 conveyed. Simple bullet points or a couple of key
00:28 things that you want the audience to take away are useful to drop into presenter
00:32 notes. To access presenter notes, you'll need to
00:36 use a view format that shows you the slides.
00:40 I generally will use the Navigator view. You can then choose from the view menu to
00:46 show the presenter notes. This opens up a field below.
00:51 What you can now do is step through and add any relevant notes.
00:56 I'll just put a few in now to give you an idea.
00:59 You can adjust the size of the notes as necessary, making them easier to see.
01:05 To bring up the fonts panel just press Cmd+T.
01:09 Another thing that I like, is the ability to just click in the field here.
01:13 And if you're using a modern version of the Mac OS.
01:17 You may find that you have dictation. This will allow you to speak your notes
01:22 right into the field. Be sure to cover how the different sales
01:27 combine for the overall results. And notice how easy that is, to just fill
01:33 in some extra notes to yourself. You don't even need to type.
01:37 You could just simply dictate. The keyboard shortcut for that is fn+fn.
01:44 Discuss how model three was selected for this year's product launch.
01:51 And you get the idea how easy it is to add notes via presenter notes .
01:56

Adding comments
00:00 Another useful tool is the ability to add comments.
00:03 Think of comments as sticky notes, things you want to flag, potentially for review.
00:08 I'll generally use comments when I want to mark an issue to check before I give a
00:12 presentation. However, the benefit with comments is if
00:15 you forget to resolve them or remove them, they still won't show up when
00:19 you're giving the presentation live. To add a comment, simply click the Sticky
00:25 Note icon in the Toolbar to insert a comment.
00:29 You can also choose Insert, Comment. This allows you to go ahead and flag a
00:37 potential issue. You could of course adjust the size of
00:43 these using the fonts panel, the shortcut of which is Cmd T to open it, and you can
00:47 size this as needed. One thing that most people don't realize
00:53 is using the Colors panel, you can actually change the color of a note.
00:59 So if you want to flag a particular issue, simply select the fill here, and
01:05 you can change it. This makes it easy for you to color code
01:10 your notes, and use colors to your advantage.
01:14 Nobody says that they have to be yellow. So if you have an urgent issue, you might
01:18 want to flag that as a red note. And if you have another issue that's not
01:24 critical but needs to be looked at, that's where yellow could come in.
01:31 You'll notice that when I give a presentation, those comments are hidden.
01:36 This way, if I wasn't sure or I had something that needed to be resolved, I
01:41 could still leave a note to myself, but the audience won't see that.
01:48 However, do realize that if you escape a presentation that that comment will be
01:53 there. So you may want to periodically clean
01:56 those up. If you know that a particular comment has
01:59 been resolved, you can go ahead and click the x in the upper right corner to remove
02:04 that comment from the presentation.
02:08

Printing presentations for review
00:00 One of the things I like to do before giving a presentation, is make a
00:03 printout. Not to hand out, but to check.
00:06 I often find that it's easy to miss mistakes when I look at something on the
00:09 screen. By changing the medium and how I'm
00:12 viewing my information, I can often force myself to spot those issues.
00:17 So, for example, as you see here. I've got a print out and a pen, and I
00:21 would leave my computer area and just go someplace quiet, and start to mark up my
00:25 presentation. Now there's lots of different ways to
00:29 print things out, and let's take a look at some of those options inside of
00:32 Keynote. When you're ready to print just choose
00:35 File > Print, or press Cmd+P. This will bring up the options here, and
00:41 what you really looking for are the keynote choices.
00:44 If you don't see this, you may need to go ahead and click Show Details to get all
00:49 of the options. What you're looking for is under keynote,
00:54 the ability to choose how things are going to be put on the page.
00:58 So for example, you could print an individual slide with your speaker notes.
01:03 You can bring just the slide itself quite large, or go ahead and take a look at the
01:07 handout view of smaller slides. It really depends how much detail you
01:12 need. I often will use the three or two slide
01:15 layout. And I find that this gives me plenty of
01:18 information to mark up the page, and a little bit of a margin to add some notes.
01:23 I think it's a good idea to go ahead and include my slide numbers, as well as any
01:28 skipped slides in case I decide to put them back in.
01:33 I also find using a date is a good idea, so I can keep track of version controls.
01:38 Now as you're working here you do have the ability to include your notes if you
01:42 want. And if you have those quite large they
01:45 might get cut off, generally for proofing though, I'll leave them off.
01:49 And as you're putting this all together, it's really up to you what information
01:52 you include. I find that printing high resolution
01:55 charts makes it easier to see, and beyond this I think it's pretty straightforward.
02:01 When ready I'll just target my printer, and choose Print.
02:05 You will find extra options if you want to adjust what type of paper you're
02:08 using, or the overall quality of the printer.
02:12 This allows you to decide how much ink you're going to use.
02:15 You could do a draft printout if you want.
02:17 To go ahead and save a little bit of ink there.
02:19 And these other settings will often be modifiable, depending upon which printer
02:24 you have, or the individual driver. But, pretty straightforward process.
02:29 And I highly recommend you make a printout.
02:31 So you can proof those slides using a hardcopy.

Spell-checking
00:00 Like most things on a computer, there is a spell checker with Keynote, and this is
00:04 a useful way to spot errors. Now, it's not going to find everything,
00:08 because it doesn't really check grammar, but I do find that using the built in
00:12 tools can cut down on the number of mistakes that I make.
00:16 One option that I leave turned, on is under spelling, check spelling as you
00:20 type. What this will do, is highlight any
00:23 errors that it finds. Now, it's a little difficult to see here,
00:27 but words that are misspelled had an underline, and in this case, red on red
00:32 makes it difficult. Unfortunately, there's no easy to change
00:38 that, but on many slide backdrops, this is a standard way of spotting an issue.
00:44 Let's just go ahead and copy that text and move it onto a different color here.
00:50 You'll see that the underlined word is the spelling error.
00:53 Now, one of the other things I like to use is Edit > Spelling and then Spelling
00:57 followed by an ellipses. The shortcut is Cmd+colon.
01:04 This would bring up the Spelling window and make suggestions.
01:07 You go ahead if you agree with the suggestion, and choose Change or if you
01:12 find a word that you wanted to keep, you can actually Learn that word as a new
01:17 word to add to your custom dictionary. There we go.
01:24 And in this case, all of my spelling errors were isolated to this one slide.
01:28 That's looking really good.

Indexing a presentation with Spotlight
00:00 One feature on your Mac is Spotlight, which makes it easy to find files.
00:04 And if you take the time to annotate your keynote document, it'll be a lot easier
00:08 to find it in the future. If you open up the Inspector, the very
00:13 first tab is the Document tab. And you'll see that there is the
00:17 Spotlight section. This is where you can assign additional
00:20 information about your presentation. Make sure you put in any additional
00:28 keywords or things you might be searching for.
00:32 All of these will become information the system uses to index the file.
00:37 You can also add any additional comments. There we go.
00:43 And now when I save the presentation, all that information is stored within.
00:49 So for example, at the finder level here, if I do a Spotlight search for Long
00:53 Trail, you'll notice that even though that presentation isn't named Long Trail,
00:58 because I put extra information inside that file I was able to find that
01:03 presentation on my hard drive very quickly.
01:09 Making sure you take the time to annotate this will have things show up, you’ll
01:13 notice that the one that I did not annotate did not show up.
01:17 While the one that I took the time to modify the Spotlight comments for did
01:21 become searchable, and I was able to use a keyword to track down that presentation
01:25 on my computer.

Preflighting presentations
00:00 As you build a keynote presentation, it's very easy to introduce inconsistencies.
00:05 Maybe you don't have a consistent use of animation, or your media files have not
00:09 yet been optimized, leading to a bloated presentation that'll take longer to load,
00:13 and is more susceptible to crashes. In any case, I like to go ahead and
00:18 pre-flight my presentation, and just give it a check over, before I decide it's
00:21 ready to give. First off, I'll go ahead and Open up the
00:26 Inspector. Now, one of the things that most people
00:29 don't realize is you can actually open up multiple Inspectors.
00:34 The things that I like to check early on tend to be the Slide Transitions and my
00:39 Build Animations. Let's go ahead and set this a little bit
00:46 smaller. And what I'm going to do is go through
00:49 and look at my presentation. So I see that my animation there is
00:54 mosaic. Well, one of the other things here is
00:56 that I've been using nested slides to make it easier to keep track of sections.
01:02 However, these aren't nested. So let's go ahead and Shift Click and
01:05 drag to the right to indent, and you see that that section becomes very
01:08 manageable. Alright, I have several section heads and
01:12 I want these to be consistent. It looks like I'm using the fall
01:17 transition at one and a half seconds. Well, I'm going to go ahead and select
01:22 each of those by Command Clicking, to make sure that my transitions are going
01:26 to be consistent. And by re-selecting Fall, and setting it
01:31 to 1 and a half, I now know that I've used a consistent animation.
01:36 Now, in this case, I have an unusual duration there, so I should set that to
01:39 two seconds, like the others. And using the arrow keys I could just
01:45 step through. Looks like I'm doing a swap on the last
01:49 slide there, so let's check this last one.
01:53 A swap at one and a half, a swap at one and a half, those all look except the
01:58 duration's are off a little bit. So let's go ahead and set those all to 1
02:09 1/2 seconds, there we go. Looks like I have all different
02:19 duration's there. Make 'em consistent,and what I'm going to
02:24 do here, is change the order of these two slides.
02:29 But I want to fade between the video clip and the last photo.
02:36 And a little simple thing that I tend to do is duplicate my last slide.
02:41 That way, if I click one additional time, it does not exit the presentation, rather
02:45 it advances, and that's a sign to me that I've reached the end of my presentation
02:50 without it having an exit. Now you can also change that under
02:55 Preferences, Uncheck Exit Presentation After Last Slide, and that'll make it a
02:59 little bit more elegant. Looks like I've got those consistent.
03:05 Let's check my Builds, I've gone ahead and done a Dissolve, by Bullet with a
03:12 Slow Fade. That looks good.
03:16 I can now choose Format, Copy Animation, and go to my other bulleted slide here,
03:22 and chose Paste Animation, making sure those are consistent.
03:30 I also notice something here which is, I've been using sentence case on these
03:34 bullets, and title case up here. So this is a good opportunity to go ahead
03:39 and make those consistent. That's looking pretty good, and what I'm
03:46 going to do is Save my presentation. If I hold down the Option key, I could
03:51 choose Save As, and I'm just going to promote this to a new version.
03:57 I've gone ahead and captured that, but what I'd like to do is optimize the
04:00 presentation so it's a bit smaller. Now, you could do this on a case by case
04:05 basis. If you right-click on an individual
04:07 element, you can choose to reduce the media file size.
04:11 Now, some cases that's already going to be done for you, however I am able in
04:14 this case, to reduce it a bit. If you want to check for your overall
04:20 presentation, you can also chose File, Reduce File Size, and this will analyze
04:25 the presentation. In this case it tells me that I can save
04:30 38 megabytes of file size, and that's fine, I'll take every little bit.
04:36 This is just going to optimize the media, and depending upon some files, they may
04:39 not be able to actually get optimized. In this case, things like some of the
04:44 PNG's and some of the logos, were already reduced to their minimum size.
04:49 That looks good, and, I'll just go ahead and capture those changes.
04:54 And I now have an optimized presentation, that is also consistent with a constant
04:59 use of transitions and builds, and no unwanted style variations.

2. Rehearsing Your Presentation
Customizing the presenter view
00:00 One of the tools I like to use when giving a presentation, is Presenter View,
00:04 which lets me use a separate layout screen, to see extra information during
00:07 my presentation. This is where things like notes and a
00:11 timer come into play. And nothing says that you can't have a
00:14 cheat sheet, that's different than what the audience sees.
00:18 However, I do recommend you customize it. You could do this under Keynote,
00:23 Preferences. And you'll see a tab called Presenter
00:27 Display. Here, you could choose what information
00:31 you're going to see. For example, I generally don't need a
00:34 clock. But I do want a timer for how many
00:37 minutes I have for my presentation. And in this case, this has been budgeted
00:42 in at 15 minutes. If you don't want time remaining, you can
00:46 have the timer count up, to see how much time has passed.
00:50 An important choice that I use, is the Ready To Advance indicator, which lets me
00:53 know that the animation is loaded into RAM, and that the slide will advance
00:56 smoothly. I also like to see the current slide, and
01:01 the next slide, with build markers. Now, if I click the Customize Presenter
01:06 Display button here, you'll see that you can actually customize the layout .
01:11 And to do this here, I'll generally go ahead and grab, and I'm going to make
01:16 this a little bit bigger. My notes are a good size there.
01:25 And, I think that that's a good overall balance.
01:30 I could see the slide that I'm on, how much time is remaining, as well as the
01:34 next slide coming up. Now, let's go to a slide with an
01:38 individual bullet for a second. And you'll notice that you see the next
01:46 build there, showing you not just where you're at, but the next bullet that's
01:51 coming up. In this case, I want to adjust the size a
01:55 little smaller, so that I could actually see the number of builds.
02:00 Each dot indicates how many builds are on that slide, so you know how many bullets
02:04 you have to speak to, and how many things are yet to come as you click.
02:10 This gauge is a simple way to understand where you are during the presentation.
02:15 Well discuss how to use these layouts, when you actually give your presentation
02:19 later in our course. A lot of you however, are used to setting
02:22 up your display to mirror, so everything on your display is exactly what's on the
02:26 external display, and what we want to do here instead is not use mirroring.
02:32 So, later on when we explore setting up a projector, we'll revisit using the
02:37 presenter display.

Recording timings
00:00 If you have a complex project that you want to deliver, you might choose to
00:03 record your timings in advance. This is particularly useful if you have
00:07 to give the same presentation multiple times.
00:10 Perhaps it's a demo at a trade show booth or a short presentation that you're
00:13 running on a repeated loop. The other advantage of recording you're
00:18 timings is it actually allows you to truly record your presentation, so you
00:21 can deliver it as a stand alone movie. So sometimes I'll choose to record my
00:26 timings in advance. And other times I'll go ahead and record
00:29 them while giving the presentation so I can go ahead a redistribute the
00:32 presentation afterwards. To do this, choose File, Record
00:40 Slideshow. You'll notice that a popup indicator
00:44 shows you the volume recording. This is actually recording the sound of
00:48 your voice. You can go ahead and adjust this using
00:51 the standard system control panels to adjust audio inputs.
00:57 For example now, let's give this presentation.
01:03 And in the sales report we're going to be taking a look at some results from the
01:07 fiscal year 2012, as well as some estimates for our 2013 year.
01:12 We've got a lot of exciting things to show you here at Long Trail Bicycles, and
01:15 what I'd like to really start off with, is our process for creating new bikes.
01:21 Now, as you see here, everything begins with an initial sketch.
01:24 We want to let the designers take an opportunity to get their ideas on paper,
01:28 and run 'em up and down the flagpole. However, once that's done, we graduate
01:33 that to a CAD model. Where we'd like to go ahead, and take
01:36 advantage of some of the benefits of computer assisted design.
01:41 Alright, that's enough of that. If I press ESC those timings are actually
01:45 part of the presentation. So now no matter where you are, when you
01:49 click Play, the presentation will be given from the very beginning.
01:54 And the timings will automatically advance when it gets to that recorded
01:57 timing. These timings then, can be used so that
02:00 you can get hands off, and just run the presentation.
02:04 However, you're going to want to strike the balance of not finding yourself
02:08 looking too scripted. If you decide you don't want those
02:12 timings, that's very easy. You could simply choose File, Clear
02:16 Recording. And this will go ahead and remove them
02:21 from the presentation.

Rehearsing on an iPad
00:00 One of the best benefits of using KeyNote is that there's a companion application
00:04 for the Apple iPad. This makes it very easy to go ahead and
00:07 transfer your presentation to the iPad so you can take it with you and do some
00:10 rehearsals. You'll also learn later in this lesson
00:13 how to go ahead and connect the iPad and run your presentation right off of it.
00:18 Do keep in mind, though, that some things won't transfer.
00:21 So, really advanced animations, as well as some fonts, might not make the jump.
00:27 To transfer a presentation to your iPad, you're going to need to launch Apple
00:32 iTunes. You can then connect the iPad via the USB
00:35 port. Once you've done this, click on the
00:40 device itself. You then need to go to the apps tab, and
00:44 if you scroll to the bottom here, you'll see the ability to select individual apps
00:49 for file sharing. So for example, I'll choose Keynote from
00:55 my list. Lets free up a little bit of space here.
01:02 I can now go ahead and load a presentation and I'll click Add and
01:08 navigate to the presentation and click Open.
01:15 It gets added in and you'll notice that it syncs across.
01:19 Now this may take a couple of moments, due to the fact, that you're using USB 2
01:23 for the transfer. Once the transfer is complete, you can go
01:28 ahead and launch keynote on your iPad. To add the presentation, simply click the
01:33 + button. You can then choose copy from iTunes.
01:37 This allows you to grab any presentations that you've synched to the device.
01:42 I'll go and load that and it imports in. It's now prompting me to load the theme
01:48 images and this is a good idea. This will ensure that the artwork used in
01:54 the project will come across. Once the downloads complete, you can open
01:59 it up. Now you will get the warnings, telling
02:02 you that this was edited on a Mac. In this case, some of the fonts that I
02:06 used in the presentation did not translate directly to the iPad.
02:10 So it substituted the closet match and some things were repositioned.
02:15 Additionally the spotlight information we added is not available on the iPad, so it
02:19 was removed. But none of these errors look critical so
02:23 I'll click done and then tap to open up the presentation.
02:29 There it is as a fairly close match all of my organization including the nesting
02:35 of my slides came across looks like the video file made it.
02:44 And all of the builds and graphics are there as well.
02:48 So this is great. There it is.
02:51 And as I advance, I can see it. You'll also notice that some of my
03:01 presenter notes come across, so all that work I did at the desktop to get the
03:04 animations and the content organized, as well as any presenter notes I added, are
03:08 there. Meaning that I could just take this and
03:12 go to the coffee shop. Sit down with a good cup of coffee and
03:15 practice my presentation in a less stressful environment.
03:19 I love the fact that the iPad makes me more mobile, and having this is going to
03:23 give me the flexibility to rehearse the presentation additional times, with a
03:27 change of scenery.

Mastering Keynote keyboard shortcuts
00:00 When giving a presentation, most of you will end of using something like this,
00:04 perhaps the Apple remote or another remote to trigger your slides going
00:07 forwards and backwards. But there are some very useful keyboard
00:12 shortcuts that I find helpful to take greater control over my presentation.
00:17 Let's take a look at some of those. First off, if you want to play the slide
00:21 show, you can go ahead of course and just click Play or press Option command P.
00:28 This will invoke the slide show playing from the current slide.
00:32 However, if you Option click the Play button, this will force it to play the
00:36 slideshow from the very first slide, no matter where you're located in the
00:40 presentation. This is a useful way to ensure you're
00:45 starting at the very beginning when giving a presentation.
00:49 To go forward, there's lots of different shortcuts.
00:51 You can use the click, the n, the space bar, Return, Page Down, or right arrow.
00:57 All of these will simply advance your slides.
01:06 If you're working with a build, one of the things that's useful is to go back a
01:10 single build. Pushing the left arrow takes you all the
01:13 way back to the first state. However, you might just want to go back a
01:17 single element. So by pressing Shift+left arrow, you'll
01:22 go back one stage of a build at a time, which is a useful way to control your
01:27 progress. If you need to go to the very beginning
01:32 of your presentation, just press Home, to go to the last slide, press the End key.
01:37 Other things that I find useful is the ability to temporarily exit a
01:41 presentation. Pressing H for hide will go ahead and
01:45 remove you from the presentation, now I generally recommend that you exit
01:49 fullscreen when doing this. This way, when you're giving the
01:53 presentation and you hide, you'll actually go out to the desktop.
01:57 If you are running Keynote in full-screen mode, then when you press it, what will
02:02 happen is you'll exit simply to the slide window.
02:06 But if you keep this as a free-floating window, and you're not in full-screen
02:09 mode, when giving the presentation, pressing the Hide key lets you go out to
02:13 the finder to find a file or navigate to another application temporarily.
02:19 Then when you switch back to Keynote, it's automatically going to pick up on
02:23 that slide in full-screen mode. If you want to switch to a particular
02:29 slide you can always type this number in. For example, typing in 23 took me to
02:35 slide 23. It also brought up the slide sorter,
02:39 making it very easy to drag through and find the individual slide that I want to
02:43 choose. Pressing the Return key will jump me to
02:47 that slide. If I want to temporarily black out the
02:52 screen, I can press B for black, or W for white.
02:57 In either case, you'll remove the content of the screen.
03:01 I sometimes find that blacking out, or whiting out my screen is useful, if I
03:04 want a break from the presentation for a second, and take a question, or, maybe I
03:08 just want to pause the presentation, and talk about something for a moment, before
03:11 putting a visual back up. Remember the slides are speaker support.
03:19 They're there to build you up. So if the slides getting in the way you
03:23 can easily black it out or white it out by just using the b or w key.
03:27 As you're moving through a slide, you may want to see your cursor.
03:31 Pressing the C key will bring the cursor back.
03:34 If you press it again, it hides it. So, if you were driving yourself nuts
03:39 trying to find the cursor, and you sat there jiggling on the track pad or
03:42 shaking the mouse and nothing happened, just press C to toggle its visibility.
03:48 If you type in a number, the slide switcher will come up.
03:53 You could then use the Minus key to go backwards through your slides or Plus to
03:56 go forward. When you find the slide that you want,
04:00 press Return to go to it, or hit Escape to exit the slide switcher.
04:06 Let's go ahead and temporarily turn off mirroring, and I want to show you how to
04:10 use that presenter display. Under the displays here, Under
04:16 arrangement and turn off mere displays. If you're giving a presentation and you
04:22 have mirroring turned off, you can see this extra information to help you out.
04:26 However if the audience is seeing it and you're not, pressing the X key will
04:30 switch between the presentation and the presenters display.
04:37 You can also access this by clicking the Options button there, and you can swap
04:41 displays pretty easily, but I find that keyboard shortcut of X to Toggle a nice
04:45 useful tool. Now as you're giving your presentation
04:50 and you come across notes, use the keys of D and U to scroll up and down.
04:57 In this case, I don't have very many notes so they all fit on the screen but
05:00 using d and u is a useful way to scroll through if you have a lot of information.
05:07 Every time you switch screens, the presenter clock resets this, so I
05:10 recommend that you get it right at the very beginning before you start.
05:14 Then, when you give your first click, it'll advance.
05:17 If you need to reset the timer, just press R, and it will go back to the
05:21 initial value that you put in. You'll also find some additional controls
05:27 when using a movie file. If you've used any video editing tools,
05:31 you'll find these pretty familiar. J hold down will rewind.
05:37 K will pause the movie, and allow you to stop and step.
05:46 Holding K will play it in slow motion. I will take you to the very beginning,
05:54 and O will take you to the very end of that movie.
05:58 You'll also see that a scrubber slider pops up on the bottom here.
06:02 Making it much easier for you to drag through, and manually navigate the movie.
06:09 If necessary, you can also adjust the volume for a particular movie.
06:13 And sometimes you'll find that audio could be distracting.
06:16 So you might want to lower the volume, so it doesn't compete with you during your
06:20 presentation. All told, pretty straight forward
06:23 keyboard shortcuts, and I think you'll find those useful while giving your
06:26 presentation.

3. Using Keynote Remote
Pairing Keynote Remote over a network
00:00 If you have an iOS device, whether that's an iPhone, an iPod, or an iPad, you can
00:04 use that device to go ahead and run the Apple Keynote remote app.
00:10 This is a great app, that gives you complete control over how Keynote
00:13 behaves, and lets you view useful information, like your speaker notes.
00:18 Let me show you how to set it up.
00:19 >> FIrst off, you're going to want to check which network you're on.
00:24 Now, I'm within my office, so that's pretty easy for me.
00:30 And I've joined the red pixel private wireless network.
00:33 Now, you can join any network that you have control over, and if there's not a
00:36 network to join, I'll show you in a moment how to create your own network.
00:41 On your phone you need to do the same thing.
00:44 Make sure you check the network that you're on and connect to the same network
00:48 for the 2 devices. If there's a password you'll need to
00:52 enter that for the network in order to join.
00:55 Once that's done, launch the Keynote Remote App.
01:01 It'll attempt to connect. Now, if you haven't paired them together
01:05 before, you actually need to do a step inside of Keynote, on the computer you're
01:08 going to be presenting from. This allows you to use a password, to go
01:13 ahead and join the two devices. In Keynote, just bring up your
01:17 preferences, and click on Remote. You'll want to be sure that you've
01:22 enabled the iPhone and iPod Touch remotes.
01:25 Now, I've already linked an iPad here, but I'm going to unlink that.
01:30 And I'm looking to add a device. Now if it doesn't show up, that's easy, I
01:35 could just relaunch the app, and it should attempt to go ahead and make the
01:38 pairing. If it doesn't show up, you'll need to
01:43 look at your settings. On the app, you'll notice that I already
01:48 have a link. However, this was to an earlier laptop,
01:51 so I'm going to make a new link. Choosing this pops up a passcode.
01:56 This passcode is going to be unique each time you choose a new link.
02:02 Over in Keynote, you'll see that my phone now appears.
02:06 I can now choose link, and enter that passcode.
02:08 Once it's successful, you'll see it appear in the list.
02:16 You'll also see it appear inside the remote app.
02:19 If you have multiple laptops, or multiple machines, you can actually create
02:23 multiple links between them and then tap to select.
02:27 If you want to remove one, just swipe to the left, and choose delete, like you
02:31 would any other item. Like a mail message.
02:35 Now that it's connected, you can easily change the orientation.
02:39 But, what do you do if you're presenting at a client and you don't have a Wi-Fi
02:42 network? Well in that case, you're going to have
02:45 to create your own.
02:47

Creating a temporary network
00:00 Sometimes when you're presenting you won't have a Wi-Fi network to join.
00:04 Maybe it's because you can't get the IT department to let you in or you're in a
00:07 place where there isn't a network. That's okay you can create your own
00:12 ad-hoc network using your own computer. Just go under the system preferences and
00:17 choose your network settings. Make sure that Wi-Fi status is shown in
00:23 the menu bar. You can then click, and choose to create
00:28 your own network. Feel free to assign a password if you'd
00:32 like. This'll prevent people from browsing your
00:35 machine during the presentation. For now, I'll just go ahead and create
00:39 it. The new network is generated.
00:44 And you'll notice that your machine changes from a Wi-Fi icon to a
00:48 Broadcasting icon. On your phone, you're going to need to
00:51 choose the same network in order for things to work.
00:54 So, I'll just go to my Network Settings and choose that Network I just created.
01:02 Once I've done that, the device is on the same Network.
01:06 Now that they're paired, it's very easy. I could switch back to the Keynote
01:11 remote, and if it's still connected, I'm in good shape.
01:15 I'll just tap that link there, and press done.
01:18 Now that the two devices are on the same network, it's easy to just click, play
01:21 slideshow. Now you see the presentation goes full
01:26 screen. So whether you're on a standard Wi-Fi
01:28 network or one you created on your own, all you have to do is get your laptop and
01:32 your phone or other iOS device on the same network, even if it's an ad-hoc
01:35 network that you set up for purposes of the presentation.
01:41 Once you've done that, you've got complete control in your hands, and you
01:44 can just advance right through your slides.
01:46 Now, we're going to take a look at the two options for how you configure this
01:50 remote, and that is the ability to use it in a portrait orientation or a landscape
01:53 orientation.
01:55

Using portrait view in Keynote Remote
00:00 You've got an important choice to make when it comes to configuring your remote,
00:03 and that is Portrait or Landscape Orientation.
00:06 And there are advantages to each. Let's start with Portrait.
00:10 When you have the app open you can go under settings and you'll see the
00:13 Orientation menu, the ability to choose Portrait or Landscape.
00:18 You also have a slider as to whether or not you want to show your presenter
00:21 notes. If you've taken the time to add them,
00:24 it's probably a good idea to leave them on.
00:27 Once you have this, you can go ahead and Click done, and you'll see that you are
00:30 in the current presentation here. And this allows us to go ahead and play
00:34 the slide show. Now, it's pretty straightforward.
00:38 The presentation you see is just like you'd expect, but on your iPad or your
00:41 iPhone you're seeing the slide and below it is the slide notes.
00:46 This makes it really easy to see your content.
00:49 You also could tap options to jump between the First slide, the Last slide,
00:53 and change the settings while you're in the middle of a presentation.
00:58 This makes it easy if you want to switch between Portrait and Landscape within the
01:03 middle of your show.
01:05
Collapse this transcript
Using landscape view in Keynote Remote
00:00 If you'd rather see the current slide and the next slide, then I'd switch from
00:03 portrait orientation to landscape. And this gives you a little bit more
00:08 screen real estate. Simply choose Landscape from the
00:12 Orientation Menu, and then choose Done. When you're ready you can tap Play
00:17 Slideshow. Now being sent out to the screen, looks
00:21 just like the full screen video. But on your phone or your IOS device,
00:24 you're seeing the current slide, and the next slide.
00:28 This makes it really easy to tell what's coming next, and you can easily see what
00:31 your next talking point is. Now, if at any point of time you want to
00:35 switch between views, that's easy too. You just go ahead and tap the Options
00:39 button, and that'll let you jump to the first slide or the last slide, or go
00:43 ahead and tap Settings and choose between portrait and landscape within the middle
00:47 of your presentation. The nice thing here is you could switch
00:52 on the fly. You don't have to exit the presentation
00:54 or go back to the set up. All the while just giving a quick slip
00:58 with the thumb there to advance from one slide to the next.
01:01 And this is great, because you get complete control of your presentation in
01:05 the palm of your hand or running off of the larger screen on the iPad.

4. Connecting Keynote to a Screen
Sizing for a 16:9 screen
00:00 One of the first things you're going to need to do is make sure that your
00:03 resolutions are set up correctly when it comes time to present.
00:07 Now there are lots of different ways to control this.
00:09 I want to walk you through a few of the key settings.
00:13 You'll find these primary controls under System Preferences.
00:16 Now I'm giving this presentation, and right now I have one screen hooked up to
00:20 my laptop. So, when I go under Displays, I get a
00:25 setting that kind of looks like this. In this case, I'm seeing the display and
00:31 the color LCD for the built-in screen. You have the ability to say, Best For
00:37 External Display, Best for the Internal Retina Display, or a scaled option.
00:45 Scaled lets you choose from a target resolution.
00:48 Now, I'm currently running my screen through a scan converter, which is why
00:51 there's only a single resolution of 1280 by 720.
00:55 That's how I"m recording the screen, so you can see it at home, while watching
00:58 this course. However, as you hook up different devices
01:02 or projectors, they'll appear here with different potential resolutions.
01:08 Another utility that I like to use is a third party one called SwitchResX.
01:14 And when you launch this, this gives you an additional menu.
01:18 And in this menu, you see all the resolutions that are available.
01:22 I find that this makes it a lot easier for me to control what resolutions I'm
01:26 seeing. In this case, I'm using 1280x720 to match
01:30 the resolution of how I built my slides. This means it'll work on lots of devices,
01:36 including televisions and most modern data projectors.
01:41 You can of course choose to go with higher resolutions, but I'm a big fan of
01:45 matching your screen resolution to the resolution that you built your
01:48 presentation. By making sure that you presentation size
01:53 and your screen size line up as closely as possible, you'll minimize any scaling
01:57 of the presentation... This leads to a cleaner image and a
02:03 better overall quality for the whole presentation.

Presenting from a laptop to a projector
00:00 When it comes time to connect your laptop to the projector, one of the really
00:04 Achilles heal points is the actual connection type.
00:08 These days your laptop or the machine you're going to be running off of,
00:11 probably doesn't have the default connector that you;re going to need.
00:15 You might need a VGA connector for an older projector or maybe it's a more
00:19 modern projector and it's using DVI, or perhaps HDMI.
00:24 Well depending on your Mac, you might have none of those options, which is why
00:28 you're going to want to always keep these guys in handy, which are going to be your
00:31 connectors. Now these connectors are pretty
00:35 straightforward, and what you're going to see here is a standard DVI port and the
00:39 much more common yet lower quality VGA port.
00:44 That's going to be found on a lot of older projectors.
00:47 Now on the flip side of these is using the standard Mac cable here.
00:51 This is going to go into your Thunderbolt port or your Mini Display port.
00:55 And in either case, these will give you the connections that you need to run a
00:58 modern projector. Now in this case, I'm using a project
01:02 that is actually using a HDMI input, and I have a modern Mac, so I can just go
01:06 right into my laptop here and get that connection, which is pretty straight
01:10 forward. And when I do, chances are it'll refresh,
01:14 might cycle through black a little bit, but then the screen will kick on.
01:19 This is a good opportunity to double check your resolution, however.
01:22 And make sure that everything is set up correctly.
01:25 So I'm using switch res x which I highly recommend for Mac users.
01:29 This is going to make it easier for you to tell the resolutions of what you've
01:32 got connected. And in this case you see that my
01:35 projector is not going out at 720p. So I'm going to go ahead and flip that
01:40 over to 720p60, and make sure that everything lines up.
01:44 That's going to give me the best quality for the projector, and the actual laptop
01:48 screen. Now, for purposes of what we're seeing
01:50 here. Normally, you'd be giving this on a
01:52 brighter projector in a darker room. We've got studio lights and everything
01:56 on, interfering with the screen. I just want you to see how we've got a
02:00 connection from the laptop to the projector.
02:03 Now that I know that's working, everything's set.
02:06 If you're not using SwitchResX, then you can go ahead, and under your standard
02:11 system preferences, take a look at the display setting.
02:15 This is where you'll see each connection type, and you should have a window for
02:18 the projector. If you don't see it, just click the
02:21 "gather windows" button to pull them all onto your center screen.
02:26 This is where you can see what's happening and choose how you want to send
02:29 out. Now, if you don't want to mirror, you can
02:32 turn off mirroring so you can send separate content to the projector versus
02:36 what you're doing here. Under arrangement I'll turn off mirror
02:42 displays. Now in this case, even though I've
02:45 unchecked mirroring, it's still mirroring.
02:48 That's because I'm using the built in HDMI port.
02:51 You might still need to keep another adapter around, going from the
02:54 thunderbolt or mini display port to HDMI, and that's going to give you different
02:58 behavior. So I'll go ahead and unhook that and plug
03:03 this in, and go into one of my two Thunderbolt ports and connect that.
03:11 Let's go under Arrangement here, and I'll uncheck Mirror Displays.
03:16 And that's going to send different information out to the two screens.
03:20 So out to the projector and to my second monitor here I am sending the actual
03:25 presentation. If I needed to you can use that shortcut,
03:29 the letter x, to toggle between your presentation screen and the presenter's
03:33 display, this'll make it easy for you to control what information is going where.
03:39 Now when I present the display you'll notice that you're seeing the
03:43 presentation behind me, however, I'm seeing the presenter's mode.
03:48 If I needed to switch that temporarily just so you could see it at home pressing
03:51 the x key moves between those two. So, even though you may have a built in
03:56 HDMI port on your machine. There's still a reason to carry a
04:00 dedicated converter, so you can get that proper signal out.
04:04 As you see here, I have control over what's going to the screen, so I could
04:07 see my presenter mode, and you can see the presentation.
04:11 This is going to give you the flexibility that you need to control what is being
04:16 displayed on each of your screens.

Running a presentation from an iPad to a projector
00:00 Now, if you want to connect an iPad to a data projector, it's pretty easy.
00:04 You of course need and iPad and a projector, but likely a couple of
00:06 adapters. Now there's two types out there, we've
00:09 got the digital AV adapter, and we actually have a standard one that will go
00:12 to a normal VGA connection. There is not one to go to DVI, so make
00:16 sure you know what type of projector you're going to be using.
00:20 Although most DVI projectors can be adapted to using HDMI cable pretty
00:24 easily. Now, when you have one of these, you need
00:28 to connect it to the iPad itself. If you're using a newer iPad with a
00:32 lightning connector, you might need to go ahead and get a connector to adapt this
00:36 down from the 30-pin to the standard lightning connector.
00:40 Now I'm using a normal projector here. It is HDMI.
00:44 It's a newer projector. So I'll go ahead and connect this here.
00:47 I'll plug in the 30-pin connector. And then I've got the ability here with
00:52 the HDMI port to just take my HDMI cable and connect it.
00:56 Now, once I've done that, it'll take a second, but it should see the projector.
01:00 Now, when you connect, this is going to need to refresh, but, as you see, it is
01:03 sending out the signal. So this works very easily.
01:07 And then once you've launched KeyNote, just tap the button in the upper right
01:11 corner, and this will invoke full screen mode.
01:14 That's going to take a second as it connects, but eventually it will refresh,
01:17 and you'll see that it is sending out a full screen image.
01:21 And you have the ability then to simply just advance by tapping the screen to go
01:24 to the next slide, or swiping with your finger to do the animated builds.
01:30 All in, pretty simple. Just make sure you have the required
01:33 cables, or else you won't have a connection.

Presenting from a laptop to a television via HDMI
00:00 A scenario that's more and more common these days is presenting on a television.
00:05 That's because these are popping up in boardrooms and all over the place.
00:09 And it's more common I find, to have to present on a TV than it is to present on
00:12 a data projector. Now many newer Macs have a built-in HDMI
00:17 port, but if they don't, you can easily get a third-part adapter like one of
00:21 these. That's going to allow you to go from the
00:24 Thunderbolt port, or the Display port, out to an HDMI connection.
00:29 Or if you have the built-in one, just use that.
00:32 Take the HDMI cable, generally a full-size plug, and make the connection.
00:37 And when you do that, your system will cycle through a few things.
00:42 Now what I recommend, is you go into your System Preferences and take a look at
00:45 things. Using the Display preferences here, I
00:48 currently have three displays connected, one because we're mirroring our desktops
00:52 so you could see it for the training. Plus, another one for me and the actual
00:59 television set. So in this case, you see all three are
01:03 presented. Now, the OS10 display doesn't really make
01:07 this easy to chose what resolution you're sending out.
01:12 You'll notice that with each monitor panel you have the ability to choose if
01:15 you want to make it best for a particular display.
01:19 Or I could target the television to optimize it for that resolution or I
01:23 could choose one of the scale sizes as you see here.
01:27 Now because my presentation was built at 720p I am going to target 720p for my
01:32 output. And that looks good.
01:36 Additionally I might choose to tweak the underscan on the monitor itself.
01:41 Now that I have a picture running out, if you look very closely you'll see that the
01:45 top menus are a bit cut off and this could cause a problem.
01:49 To adjust this I'll just tweak underscan, and all I'm doing is pulling that edge in
01:53 a little bit until I can see the monitor edge to edge.
01:57 Now this is really up to you so you decide how much of the screen you see.
02:01 But I generally find, being able to see the menus up here is helpful.
02:05 As it let's us see the whole picture. Without anything being cut off.
02:09 Now that I take this and I present it full screen, you see my presentation's
02:13 running out. And this is a good opportunity, just to
02:16 step through a few slides, and look to see if anything's being cut off.
02:21 It's looking really good to me, and I like how that's running.
02:24 But this is a good opportunity to pop up some of your slides and adjust the
02:27 television. You might want to actually use the remote
02:31 on the TV and adjust some of the properties, like the brightness or the
02:34 back lighting, so your slides do not become overexposed.
02:38 These screens and your computer screen will offer differ.
02:42 So what you're going to want to do is tweak things, so the overall picture
02:46 looks good.

Running a presentation from an iPad to a television via HDMI
00:00 If you want to connect your iPad directly to a television, you could do that as
00:03 well. Now, depending upon the connection that
00:06 you're using, you might need one or potentially two adapters.
00:11 What I have here is the digital AV adapter and what you're seeing there on
00:15 one end is an HDMI cable and the ability to use a 30-pin cable to pass through a
00:19 charge. The other end is just the 30 pin
00:24 connector. Now if you're going to be using this
00:26 cable with the newer machine, you might need to get one of the 30 pin to
00:29 lightening adaptor connectors to make this work.
00:33 At the time of this recording Apple had not released a lightening to HDMI
00:37 adaptor. Although hopefully we will see this
00:40 accessory and others like it come out. Now i'm just going to go ahead and
00:43 connect this to the machine. There we go and then I can take my HDMI
00:48 cable and make a simple connection. Now you notice my presentation is running
00:56 out to the screen, in this case the Ipad is 4X3 aspect ratio while my screen here
01:01 is 16X9. So you'll have to realize that you might
01:05 get some unwanted pillar boxing or letter boxing on the effect, depending upon the
01:09 presentation you've loaded. But it is connected, and I can go ahead
01:14 and go up to my first presentation slide, and then simply tap the full screen play.
01:21 In doing so, my presentation is sent out from the iPad, to the television screen.
01:25 And notice once I'm in fullscreen mode, that pillar boxing and letter boxing
01:30 caused by the 4x3 aspect ratio is gotten rid of, and it does send out a true 16x9
01:34 signal. I'm now able to actually drive the
01:38 presentation right here from my iPad. I can now simply swipe the screen to
01:43 advance. A quick tap will also advance the slides.
01:49 Additionally, I can see my presenter notes, as I'm giving the presentation,
01:54 and actually read. Another thing that's nice, if you want to
01:58 call out a particular detail, is if you tap and hold, you will actually get a
02:01 laser pointer. All you do is you Press and Hold.
02:08 Is it will bring up the pointer and this makes it easy to call out different
02:12 details in your presentation. Now as you continue to give the
02:16 presentation you can use your iPad for notes and simply Swipe to advance from
02:19 one slide to the next. This makes it really easy as you're
02:23 giving this presentation to jump on through.
02:26 Perhaps the biggest annoyance though is this tethered tail.
02:29 And, what I'm going to show you next from with the Apple TV, let's you cut this
02:33 cord, and whether your presenting from the labtop or the I-pad, get you true
02:36 wireless freedom.

Presenting wirelessly using an Apple TV
00:00 One of the best pieces of hardware you can add to your toolkit is a simple $100
00:04 Apple TV. Now, you might be thinking, why do I need
00:07 a device like this? What good is it going to do browsing
00:10 Netflix or looking at Podcasts? Well, when it comes to giving a
00:13 presentation, this little $100 box is a great receiver, whether you're going from
00:18 the laptop or from the iPad. Let me show you how to get it set up.
00:23 First off, after you connect the Apple TV, you're going to want to make sure
00:26 that you put it on the same WiFi network as your computer.
00:30 If you don't have a network, you can go ahead and use that trick we talked about
00:33 earlier of creating your own WiFi network by simply creating a network and joining
00:37 the two devices to that same network. Now, what you're going to do is simply go
00:43 to the Settings menu, and then go ahead and press Return.
00:48 Now, from this screen, you're going to want to go ahead and find the network.
00:51 Either the one you've created, or the network that you want to use for the
00:54 location that you're currently presenting at.
00:58 I'll just go under the General category here, and choose Network.
01:03 And you'll see that you actually have a WiFi network to chose from.
01:06 Now, clicking this will give you a list of available networks and if you've got
01:09 multiple networks in your location, just chose a network that you have access to
01:13 and make sure that your machine is on that same network.
01:17 In this case, I'm already hooked up so, it's pretty easy.
01:20 I'll go ahead back to the main screen here, just pressing the Menu button a few
01:24 times to return. Now that I've gone ahead and connected
01:28 and I'm on the same WiFi network, it's super easy.
01:32 On your computer you can go under the System Preferences and just check
01:36 Display. Make sure mirroring options is turned on
01:39 for the menu bar. And you can now turn on airplane
01:42 mirroring. Once you have done that, you adjust some
01:47 of your displays. And I'm a big fan of using the utility
01:51 called SwitchResX, which makes it easy to see the exact resolution you're using.
01:57 I'm sticking with 720 here. Now that I've got that set, when I go to
02:01 Keynote. And I'm running out my presentation.
02:05 Notice, it hits the screen. I can go through and give my presentation
02:09 exactly as I'd like. And I'm essentially using AirPlay
02:12 Mirroring. So, whatsever on my computer screen is
02:15 going to be out over here. Now, this is not going to work if you're
02:18 using the presenter's display because it's going to want to allow it to mirror
02:21 the screen. But, notice, no wires.
02:26 I can easily move my laptop around, reposition it as I need to, move around
02:29 the room, or even hand from one presenter to another.
02:34 The great thing about AirPlay Mirroring is that you can easily kick it from one
02:37 presenter to another wirelessly. And let one person jump on and share
02:41 their screen, and then switch to another team member, during a presentation.
02:46 But it's not just for your computer. You can do it with an iPad too.
02:50 And I'll just simply turn off AirPlay Mirroring, and then I'm going to go over
02:55 to my iPad itself. From the home screen, just double press
03:00 and swipe over. You can then tap the AirPlay menu and
03:04 choose Apple TV. And I recommend you leave the Mirroring
03:08 option turned on. Now, what's going to happen is it will
03:12 connect and actually send the signal over.
03:15 Might take a second, but you see it did refresh.
03:18 Now, when you switch back to key note, you're content's there.
03:25 And now when I'm ready to give that presentation, simply choose the starting
03:29 point and tap the full screen presentation button, and I'll be giving
03:32 my presentation full screen. Again, no wires, giving me that
03:37 flexibility to roam about the room and give my presentation in a more dynamic
03:41 way. Flip and I'm on the next slide.
03:47 Flip again and it will go through any of those builds.
03:50 So this is a super easy way to wirelessly give your presentation and because of
03:54 that I highly recommend adding an Apple TV to your tool kit.

5. Alternate Presentation Techniques
Creating a self-running slideshow
00:00 Earlier, we mentioned the concept of recording the slideshow.
00:03 I find this particularly useful when giving the presentation so I can create
00:07 leave behind items. By choosing Record Slideshow, I can give
00:11 my presentation live, recording my voice as well as all of the timings for the
00:15 advancements. This will then allow me to publish a wide
00:19 range of content to share the presentation afterwards.
00:23 Lets take a look. I make sure I'm on my first slide and
00:27 when I'm ready to give my presentation I'll choose File, Record Slideshow.
00:34 Key note goes full screen and you see a view you meter meter, indicating the
00:37 audio levels. When you're ready, simply start to give
00:41 your presentation. Let me just run through my presentation
00:45 quickly for you. Welcome to Long Trail Bicycles, and
00:48 today, I'd like to give you an idea of how the company's doing.
00:52 Now, what I'm going to be showing you here is a sales report, and we're
00:55 going to focus on the year's performance for the past year, 2012.
00:59 With a little bit of forward thinking, to the year 2013.
01:04 We see that our bikes are getting used in more and more places, by more and more
01:08 riders, and the feedback has been absolutely outstanding.
01:12 So, what's on the trail ahead? Well, a lot of good things, and we're
01:16 very glad that you're going to be taking the journey with us.
01:19 Alright, there's my presentation. I press Escape and all of those timings
01:25 have been recorded. At this point those recorded timings are
01:29 useful. And if I was giving that presentation
01:32 live I now have the ability to export this and share it with others.
01:36 Maybe as a leave behind, or something to send people who weren't able to make the
01:39 presentation. This is also a chance to record the
01:43 presentation, and share with other people on the team.
01:46 Maybe I'm part of a larger organization, and others need to learn from my
01:49 presentation, so they can adapt it, and give it themselves.
01:53 In either case, it's a great idea to go ahead and save this presentation as a new
01:57 version. So you have one version with the
02:00 recordings, and one without. To do that I hold down the Option key and
02:05 choose File > Save As and I'm going to go ahead and just rename this timings and
02:11 I'll store that. Now it's going to take a little while to
02:16 save, because it is a big file with that audio.
02:18 There we go. And I'm going to close that presentation
02:21 for a moment. Now, let's take a look at the difference
02:25 in the two file sizes. The one without the audio is about 300
02:29 Megabytes and that short presentation that I recorded is about 400 Megabytes.
02:35 So adding the audio does increase the overall file size.
02:39 Now, the use of recordings are really up to you.
02:42 Some people do it ahead of time to share with the team and walk them through a
02:46 presentation. Other people just record the presentation
02:49 while they're giving it. And either case, knowing how to take
02:52 advantage of this, will open up a whole bunch of export options which we'll look
02:56 at a little later in this lesson.

Running presentations in Kiosk mode
00:00 Sometimes, you're going to want a presentation to run in what I call Kiosk
00:03 Mode. Perhaps it's because you want to leave
00:06 the presentation unattended, like a kiosk in a museum.
00:10 Or, maybe you want it to run continuously in the front entryway of your business.
00:15 In any case, it's very easy to set the computer up, so that once you start the
00:18 presentation, it can't be exited without a password.
00:23 Go ahead and bring up the Inspector, and under the Document area, you have the
00:29 ability to choose a password. This is where you could require a
00:34 password to open the presentation, as well as a password to exit the show.
00:42 I've gone ahead and set a password on opening the presentation, and I'm
00:45 going to use a password to exit the show. I could also choose to automatically play
00:51 it, when it's opened. Now, when I close this presentation and
00:56 save it, watch what happens. Let's open up that last presentation, and
01:01 you see that it prompts me for a password.
01:08 It's now gone to full-screen mode, and the user can self-navigate through the
01:14 presentation. This can be particularly useful if you've
01:18 added hyperlinks to create interactive buttons, so they can jump around.
01:23 Or, they could use the Slide Switcher, and jump to a particular slide.
01:29 What they can't do, however, is escape. Pressing the Escape key will ask for a
01:36 username and password. If I have it, it'll work.
01:43 But most people won't. So, they'll be locked out of exiting.
01:47 If they try to press Command Tab to switch apps or use the doc switcher,
01:51 you'll notice that all those behaviors are locked out.
01:56 So they have no way to exit the presentation.
02:00 Now, if you've turned that password protection on, you might want to disable
02:03 it. Let me show you how to turn it back off.
02:06 Press Escape, and you'll need to enter in your user name, and the password you
02:10 assigned. Once you've done that, you'll be able to
02:14 see the document in the inspector. I'll turn that off, to require the
02:18 password to exit. And, I could remove the password on the
02:21 document itself. In order to do that though, you will need
02:24 to type the password in one more time. You see now, both passwords are removed
02:29 and I'll just save that presentation. Make sure you use this mode with caution,
02:34 and that you actually know the presentation that you've entered.
02:38 You could of course force the computer to restart.
02:42 And then it would exit, and you would be out.
02:44 But this is a way to create a simple barrier, from people exiting the slide
02:48 show. This is particularly useful when you want
02:52 a presentation to run in kiosk mode, and this is very common for things like
02:56 entryways or museum installations.
03:00

Looping slideshows
00:00 When you hit the last slide in your presentation, by default, Keynote will
00:04 exit. This could be a bit jarring.
00:06 You have two choices to make. You could decide to Loop the presentation
00:10 or you could decide to have it Hold on the last slide.
00:14 Either one is better than having it do a hard exit.
00:17 Let's take a look. Under Keynote preferences, you'll see
00:21 that you have the slideshow category. Choosing this gives you the option to say
00:26 what happens when you reach the end. I generally will uncheck the option that
00:31 says exit presentation after last slide. Additionally, under the document
00:36 inspector, you have the ability to tell the slideshow to loop.
00:42 This will allow the presentation to loop when you get to the last slide.
00:47 So for example let's got to the final slide here and I'll click Play, and when
00:51 I click the space bar to advance you'll see that it goes back to that first
00:55 slide. Now if you are going to do looping,
00:59 you'll probably want to assign a transition to that last slide.
01:03 To do that, just go to the slide sorter, and select the final slide in your
01:07 presentation. And under the slide inspector, you could
01:12 choose to add a transition. There we go.
01:16 So now, with the loop slide show option chosen.
01:20 When I get to my last slide, and I click. It will animate back, to the very first
01:25 slide, creating a seamless loop to my presentation.
01:30 This is particularly useful if you're going to be giving the presentation
01:33 repeatedly, like in a trade show environment.
01:35 Or if you just want to go back to the beginning, and repeat your title slide,
01:38 and maybe your contact information. In either case, I would recommend
01:43 choosing one of the options. Either holding on the last slide when you
01:47 reach the end of your presentation from your prefrences, or enabling Loop.
01:53 The one you choose is up to you.

6. Creating Handouts
Printing speaker handouts
00:00 An important companion piece to many presentations are handouts.
00:04 Things that you give to people, either before your presentation or afterwards.
00:08 Let's take a look at handouts that are often given out at the start of a
00:11 presentation. Many people like to make speaker handouts
00:15 so others in the audience can take notes. Some places also require them in advance
00:20 particularly when you're doing a proposal presentation.
00:23 To do this, choose File > Print. Now, within this dialog box, you can see
00:29 lots of information. If you don't see all these choices, make
00:33 sure you click the Show Details button to see everything.
00:37 Now, we looked at this dialog earlier when we made a quick print out for
00:40 marking up our slides during the review stage.
00:43 I'd like to walk you through a few other options.
00:47 Generally speaking, when making a presenter handout I will choose to do the
00:51 handout option. This allows me to then specify how many
00:55 slides per page. Now you notice as you do this, that it
00:59 makes them smaller, leaving lots of room for notes.
01:03 If you don't want this, and you just want multiple slides on the page, then
01:07 instead, I would choose Individual Slides, and then from the Layout
01:11 category, you could choose to put four pages per sheet.
01:17 And this will give you larger thumbnails. This option is a little bit tricky.
01:22 People will try to tweak the speaker slides layout and they'll get frustrated.
01:26 Because as they change the number of slides, they're not really changing how
01:29 many images are on the page, they're just making the thumbnail smaller and the area
01:32 for taking written notes larger. The key is to use that layout popup.
01:38 So, instead of getting frustrated with the handout option, just switch on over
01:43 to individual slides and work with the layout category.
01:47 This allows you gang things up in four, six, or nine slides per page, and you see
01:52 that everything reflows nicely. I'll often go with smaller slides here,
01:59 so people could just see the information. I find that a four up view is generally
02:03 pretty useful, and people will have that ability to then browse.
02:07 Sort of see where we're going. If you want them to take notes, then
02:11 switch back to the Keynote area, and switch to the handout option, and you can
02:16 use this. Now as you're working with this you can
02:21 choose to include your speaker notes. However, I generally find that that's not
02:25 useful. If you want to use the speaker notes as a
02:28 way to annotate your slides for purposes of handouts, then feel free to do so and
02:32 turn on notes. I do find beyond this though that I
02:37 generally will not print each stage of a build.
02:40 Because that just leads to a lot of separate slides.
02:43 And I do not include any skip slides. Including slide numbers and dates are
02:48 very useful for the handouts. This allows people who are following
02:52 along to know where you are at within the presentation and that looks really good.
02:58 If your don't want to print everything, you can simply Cmd-click to select
03:02 multiple slides in the Slide Navigator first, and only print those selected
03:06 slides. Sp, for example, if I choose the light
03:12 table, I can hold down the Cmd key, and select just the slides I want to print.
03:22 Maybe I want to include just the models of the bikes that we're going to be
03:25 making this next year. When I do that and I choose File > Print,
03:30 you'll notice that I can choose only my selected slides and that makes fewer
03:34 slides to be printed and gives me total control.
03:39 In any case, you've got the ability to take complete control of what you print.
03:45 Both by making a selection first and alternating between the Keynote and the
03:50 layout tabs.
03:52

Printing your outline
00:00 Another document you might want to export is your speaker outline.
00:04 Now this is going to depend on how much detail you have, but this is often a
00:07 useful way for people to follow along where you're at with the presentation.
00:12 To do this I recommend you choose View > Outline, and this will give you a good
00:17 idea of what's happening. Now, these particular slides have a lot
00:23 of information where there really isn't text on the slide.
00:27 It might be useful to go through and actually update these things here.
00:31 For example, I could type in New Product Line(SOUND) and you see that that
00:36 updates. Go to the next slide.
00:40 And just type in additional notes. You can always Copy the text from the
00:46 slide itself and Paste it in. Now that we've got that outline updated,
00:52 I'm ready to print. I'll choose File Print and one of the
00:57 choices is Outline. In this case, I've got a lot of empty
01:02 space, and the page is set up to a landscape orientation.
01:07 I can choose page attributes, and this allows me to change the layout of the
01:11 page to a more traditional page layout. As you see here, I get a good idea of
01:16 what's going to be printed. Under the Keynote tab, you will find
01:21 additional options available for some of the views.
01:24 But when printing the outline, it's really pretty basic.
01:27 When you're all set, target your printer, set the number of copies, and go ahead
01:32 and fire it off. Your outline will print, and it's ready
01:37 to hand out.
01:38

Exporting full-screen PDFs
00:00 Another popular export is to create a full screen PDF.
00:04 One that has each slide per page. This is useful if you want to send the
00:08 presentation to somebody else to rehearse.
00:10 Or maybe you want to send it to an office printing company, to get books or
00:14 presentation handouts to leave behind. Let's make a PDF.
00:19 Let's choose Share, and under the Export category, I'll choose PDF.
00:23 To do this I'm going to make a full screen slide.
00:28 So I'll just choose Slides. I'll uncheck Printing Each Build and I
00:32 don't need to include any Skipped Slides. I will include a border around the slides
00:37 but I don't need slide numbers in this case.
00:42 Next I'll choose the Image Quality and I generally prefer Better.
00:46 I find that this is a good balance between looking good on screen and still
00:51 making a usable print. When satisfied and l can click Next.
00:57 I then have the choice of saving this file out and I just click Export.
01:02 Once you've exported the PDF, I recommend that you take a look at it in a PDF
01:06 viewing application to make sure that everything translated correctly.
01:11 We'll hide Keynote and I'll find my PDF and double-click.
01:16 Now I'm using a Adobe Acrobat and I have the ability to click through and see all
01:21 my slides. Everything seems good.
01:28 The thing to realize is that any videos you have will no longer be videos, but
01:33 instead be a simple still image. If you are using a program like Acrobat,
01:39 you can go ahead and insert the video file manually to update that page.
01:45 Other things to consider is the properties for the document.
01:48 So, under File > Properties, you have the ability to control what happens.
01:53 So, for example, under Initial View. I'll tell it to enter full screen.
01:59 Open in full screen mode. I'll also hide the menu bar and the tool
02:03 bars. And the window controls.
02:07 And I'll click OK, and Close, and Save the document.
02:13 Now when we open that document back up, notice what happens.
02:17 It's going to invoke going full screen, which is fine.
02:22 And it's now in a full-screen mode. And using the up and down arrows, I can
02:27 navigate and give my presentation. This is a great backup way to create the
02:32 presentation, and if necessary, you could've even exported the individual
02:35 stages of the builds, turning your presentation into a simple PDF as a
02:39 backup copy. This is also more than high enough
02:44 resolution for printing if you need to make handouts.
02:48 That works very well and when I press Esc, it'll go ahead and exit.

Setting passwords for Keynote exports
00:00 When you export a PDF you do have some security options you can take advantage
00:04 of, this is great if you want to prevent people from printing the document or
00:07 making unwanted changes. When you go Share > Export PDF, under
00:13 Security Option just scroll that down to see what the controls are.
00:20 Now, I'm going to make a new PDF that's full screen, and I'm going to put that
00:23 out without any dates and any slide numbers.
00:27 I am going to require a password to open the document, so that my client feels
00:31 that the data I'm sending them is secure and for their review.
00:38 I can require a password in order to print the document as well as to copy any
00:42 content from it. Now I recommend before you click Next
00:47 that you copy that password out, and Save it to a note or other source so you don't
00:52 forget. With the settings I've chosen here, I'm
00:56 about to create a PDF that requires one password to open, and a separate password
01:00 to print or to copy material out. This is a great way if you want to make a
01:05 document secure to share. But you don't want the people receiving
01:09 it to have the ability to make prints or the ability to copy out text or photos.
01:14 When you're ready, just click Next. You now have the option to target a
01:19 location. Name the file, and click Export.
01:25 Now that I've done that, I have a document that's secure.
01:29 And you'll see that the icon appears different.
01:32 When I click to open, it's going to require a password, there it is, and it
01:36 did open. It's important to realize that PDF
01:41 passwords are not universal. There are applications out there designed
01:45 to circumvent them, as well as viewing applications that don't recognize
01:48 passwords. So, adding a password is an extra level
01:52 of security, but it is not 100% foolproof.

7. Creating Movies and Graphics from Keynote
Choosing playback methods
00:00 A popular method of export from Keynote is to create movie files.
00:04 Now, what those movies are for is really up to you.
00:07 You can create movies that are designed for use on a computer, on a playback
00:11 device like an iPad or even for integration into a professional video
00:14 editing tool. Let's take a look at some of the initial
00:18 options you're presented with when you choose to export.
00:22 The first thing you're going to need to decide when you choose File > Export >
00:27 QuickTime is which type of playback method you want to use.
00:32 Now, I have a presentation here that has recorded timings.
00:37 This is the presentation that I recorded when I run through my presentation and I
00:41 chose File > Record > Slide Show. You could do this with one of your own
00:46 presentations or I'm using the file Bike_B_Timings.
00:52 Now the Recorded Timings mean that when I export all of the timings from my clicks
00:56 are going to be included. Otherwise, I could choose to manually
01:01 advance and this will create a movie where the end user clicks with their
01:06 mouse or the space bar in order to advance from one slide to the next.
01:13 This is useful if you want to create a user navigable.
01:16 Movie that allows them to go ahead and click through the slides at their own
01:21 pace. If you've build the presentation using
01:24 hyperlink navigation, a topic we haven't explored here today, you can actually
01:28 create a self-guided presentation with buttons that allow for interactivity,
01:32 much like a web page. This will create navigation that only
01:38 works with hyperlinks, and it makes Keynote perform much like the old
01:42 Hypercard that used to be made by Apple. The other method to consider is Fixed
01:47 Timings and this is where you enter a set duration for each slide as well as how
01:52 long each build will take. I will often Fixed Timings when I'm
01:57 creating a movie file, that I want to cut in with live video of a presenter.
02:03 By using the fixed timings method, I can go ahead and export my presentation, and
02:07 get a nice clean slide. Now I might need to extend or shorten
02:11 each section in order to line it up with my presenter.
02:14 But this is a useful way to generate a video file, of your slide presentation,
02:18 that then, you manually sync. On the other hand, if you have the
02:22 presentation and the presenter, while recording it, actually recorded their
02:26 slide show, you can then take the live video of the presenter, plus the Recorded
02:30 Timings, and easily use those two together, to create an in-sync slideshow.
02:37 So the method you choose is really up to you, because I have it, I'm going to
02:42 stick with Recorded Timings. Now that you know the timing method, you
02:47 need to choose a quality for your output and we'll explore that next.

Exporting movies for iOS devices
00:00 A popular destination for a movie export is to create content for an iOS device.
00:05 For this you really have two choices. Once you've specified the playback
00:10 timing, go to the format section. I generally find that using the CD-ROM
00:15 quality medium works well if I want a smaller file for iOS devices.
00:20 Or I could use full-quality large. In this case, because my presentation is
00:25 1280 by 720 at 24 frames per second, that's going to create a file that's very
00:29 compatible with lots of different destinations.
00:34 Now, when I'm satisfied with this, I have the choice to decide if I want to include
00:38 any of the audio on the slides themselves.
00:42 Such as music, or audio from the video files, that were in the slide deck.
00:47 And, if I want to include any of the slide show recording, or my own voice.
00:52 I'm going to uncheck Include Audio for the source files.
00:56 But in this case, I will include my own timing for my presentation.
01:01 Now that I'm all set, I'll click Next, to generate the file which'll take a few
01:05 moments, and then we'll ensure its compatibility by adding it to our iTunes
01:09 library. When I click Next, I just need to specify
01:14 a destination, and then choose Export. The export will take a few moments
01:19 depending upon the speed of your computer, and the quality of file that
01:22 you're making. Additionally, don't be concerned by the
01:26 aspect ratio of the file looking distorted.
01:29 The export to Quick Time window only shows a 4 by 3 aspect ratio, so 16 by 9
01:33 slides may look a bit unusual. But, you can rest assured that the
01:38 exports will work just fine. Once you have the file exported, you're
01:43 going to want to bring it into iTunes and make sure that it's optimized for your
01:47 iOS device. You can go ahead and grab that movie, and
01:51 just drag it onto the iTunes icon. It'll then be added to your movies
01:56 library, and by default, it may go full screen, just click the close button.
02:01 Now, it'll be added to your movies folder but by default you might not see it.
02:05 You might see that you have some unwatched movies, or regular movies, in
02:09 your library, but go to the home videos, or the list tab, to see everything on
02:13 your machine. With it selected, you can then choose
02:18 File, Create New Version, and create a version specifically for Apple TV, which
02:23 will work on iPad, or iPod or iPhone. By choosing this, the file will be
02:30 optimized, and if it doesn't need to be converted it'll already be there.
02:35 Once that conversion process is complete, you can then sync it like any other
02:39 content in your iTunes library, to your iOS device.
02:44 And you'll notice that I've got my presentation with all my timings in tact,
02:48 so that as I advance from one slide to the next, it plays like a simple movie,
02:53 with high quality, animated transitions, and all your animations are intact as
02:57 well, or you could drive through the movie to see your contact.

Exporting movies for professional video
00:00 If you need to export your video for use in a professional application, I
00:03 recommend you take control of the manual export, and configure the video file to
00:07 match your needs. To do that, simply choose Share > Export
00:13 > Quicktime. You then have the ability to choose a
00:17 custom format. This allows you to choose the size for
00:22 the video as well as specify a very specific size if necessary in pixel
00:27 dimensions. You can then click settings to adjust the
00:32 comback and the frame rate. Using the compression type you choose
00:37 from any Kodak you have loaded. So for example, if you needed to go to an
00:41 Avid editing system you could, or an Apple ProRes file, for use in Final Cut
00:45 Pro, or Adobe Premiere Pro. You could also go to some of the other
00:50 video types that you might have, just be careful about switching to non-square
00:53 pixels. I'm going to go to an Apple Prores 422
00:57 file. And I'll specify the frame rate as being
01:03 Custom, and I'll type in 23.976. Now, there is no gamma correction
01:11 necessary, so I'll just leave it on automatic.
01:15 And everything looks pretty good. The data rate is being controlled by the
01:18 codeck choice. When I'm all set, I'll just click okay.
01:22 Doublecheck my files here. Choose if I want to include the audio.
01:27 And when done, click next. Let's just modify the name, and click
01:34 export. The new file is written, and it won't
01:39 take as long, because it doesn't have to heavily compress it.
01:43 Don't be bothered if the preview window looks 4 by 3 to you; that's just the way
01:47 the Export to Quicktime dialog works. The slides themselves will display at the
01:53 correct size that you've chosen, and in this case it will be a 16 by 9 aspect
01:56 ratio. Now that the presentation has been
02:01 exported, I can check the video file and bring it into a non-linear editing tool.
02:06 I've gone ahead and launched Premeir Pro, and I'm just going to bring that file in.
02:12 There's the pro res document, and if I bring up the Preview Area here.
02:18 I can see that this 1280 x 720 and it's registering as a 24P file.
02:24 I can always go into the File Properties under Interpret Footage and this allows
02:28 me to check the frame rate as well. It's reading as 24 frames per second.
02:34 I can manually assign 23.976 if I need to.
02:39 And I click Okay and let's drop that into a new sequence and you see that we have a
02:47 full quality file with the narration attached.
02:56 This is a great file, so now if you had recorded the presentation with a video
02:59 camera with the synced audio that you have on the slides it'd be very easy to
03:02 cut those 2 together. And then you can invoke a multi camera
03:07 style edit or you could take this professional quality video file you made,
03:10 and take advantage of any of the tools that you have at your disposal like DVD
03:13 authoring tools or additional web impressions to make extra delivery
03:16 options. If you are interested in learning about
03:21 tools like Premiere Pro, we do have classes here on lynda.com that cover all
03:25 the professional video software, and this will open up a wide range of export
03:29 options, so you can create all different types of published media formats.

Exporting slides as graphics
00:00 If you need to export still graphics from Keynote, you can generate just about any
00:03 file type. Of course, these can also be modified by
00:07 taking them into an application like Adobe Photoshop.
00:11 Here's how. I'll choose Share, Export, Images.
00:17 Now the good news is that these images you create will have anti-alias text,
00:21 which means that they will display well on screens, whether that be for
00:25 television or web use. I generally will go with TIF, which are
00:30 the highest quality, but you do see that you can make PNG for good multi-media
00:34 use, or JPG for export to the web. I'll go with TIF files here, and just
00:41 click Next. Notice, if you have Build you can
00:44 actually create separate graphics for each stage, and this is a great way to
00:48 create separate still files for use in a layout presentation or a video editing
00:52 project. You also can specify the range.
00:58 When I click Next, I highly recommend that you make a New Folder to hold these
01:02 images. Create the folder and then click Export.
01:08 You'll see that the overall export process is very fast.
01:13 There's my exported files, and I have one still for each slide.
01:19 Notice that they're numbered sequentially, making it very easy to tell
01:23 where things belong. If you wanted a separate stage for each
01:27 build, just choose the export option that includes builds.
01:32 Under Share, Export Images, simply choose to create an image for each stage of a
01:37 build. In either case, making high quality still
01:44 images is very easy.

Exporting PowerPoint files
00:00 A common format that you might need to share is a PowerPoint Presentation.
00:04 Well, Keynote can make that too. Just keep in mind that Powerpoint doesn't
00:08 have the same transitions, and the same build animations that Keynote does.
00:14 So if you've chosen certain effects, they might get replaced or simplified.
00:18 Here's how it works. Just choose Share > Export > PPT for
00:24 PowerPoint. Doing this is very straightforward.
00:29 You don't actually have any choices to make.
00:32 When you click Next, it will create a new PowerPoint file and you could then save
00:37 it. The file that's generated will work on a
00:41 Mac or Windows computer with PowerPoint. However, you'll notice that some of the
00:47 Export options will get flagged. For example, the Audio Narration couldn't
00:51 be included in the Powerpoint file and the text with Drop Shadows is going to be
00:55 looking a little bit different. Let's take a look at the resulting file.
01:02 There is my PowerPoint file, a right click and choose to open that with
01:06 Microsoft Power Point. All in all the translation was pretty
01:11 effective and you notice as we go through that the bulk of the information did
01:15 translate correctly. However, some of the things like the
01:19 formatting of the text, the all uppercase styles that I were using, did not
01:23 translate across. This is why I generally will include a
01:28 PDF for reference, and I might go back through and do some cleanup.
01:32 With all of that said, though, let's engage the presentation, and you'll see
01:38 that I have the ability to click through and a lot of my transitions are similar.
01:45 Keynote definitely has better transitions.
01:47 Which is one of the things that makes it so popular.
01:50 But, where it can use a similar transition, it will try.
01:54 There you have it, a pretty decent way of exchanging to a Windows user.
01:59 Typically though, I've had a lot of Windows users end up becoming Keynote
02:02 users just to have the superior animation abilities that the tool offers.

Sending slides to Final Cut Pro X and iMovie
00:00 If you're working in a Mac Ecosystem for video editing, there's a very easy way to
00:04 get your keynote presentation into those tools.
00:07 Now, we've already explored exporting a full quality video file, but if you just
00:12 want still images, this is very straightforward.
00:16 I recommend that you choose Share > Send To > iPhoto.
00:21 This'll make a new album for each image. Then, choose the highest quality file
00:27 format, which is going to be TIF. If you'd like a build for each stage,
00:31 which is pretty typical if you're going to editing these slides to narration,
00:35 choose to create an image for each stage of the build, and then click Next.
00:41 Give the album a name, and then send it over to iPhoto.
00:47 Once you start this process the export is very quick.
00:52 Now you'll see an iPhoto that a new event is added and the images are based in.
00:58 They're all the slides in numerical order with the bills.
01:03 If I switch over to my video editing tools, such as iMovie, notice that you
01:08 have access to those images. You can come over and click to see your
01:13 photo content in the photo browser. This gives you access to iPhoto and
01:19 you'll see different events. For example, there's the event I just
01:24 created, and you see all of the slides that were generated.
01:31 This makes it easy to edit the slides in sync with the recorded video of the
01:35 presentation. If we switch over to Final Cut Pro,
01:39 you'll see similar controls. In final cut pro just navigate to the
01:44 similar photo browser and this gives you the ability to see your content inside of
01:49 iPhoto. You could choose an individual event and
01:55 just scroll through. When you find the event that you want,
01:59 double click. And there are all the slides ready to be
02:03 edited into your presentation. Now that you've got this content, it's
02:08 very easy to just drag it right into the Final Cut Pro timeline.

Creating a DVD from a Keynote presentation with Compressor
00:00 If you'd like to create a DVD or a Blu-ray of your presentation, it's a
00:03 pretty straightforward process. Now, your Mac used to include a tool
00:07 called iDVD, but this piece of software was discontinued.
00:11 For the most control, you are going to want to check out using Apple Compressor,
00:14 which is sold as a stand alone application in the Mac app store.
00:19 To do this, simply choose File, New Batch From Template.
00:26 This gives you the ability to choose a Blu-ray disc or a DVD.
00:31 This'll give you the option of making either content, but if you choose
00:34 Blu-ray, you'll need to have a compatible third-party burner.
00:38 If you choose DVD, and your Mac doesn't have a super drive, you will need a third
00:43 party drive to do this. Choosing this option allows you then to
00:49 choose the target, and click Choose. You now need to bring in a source video
00:53 file, and you notice we have a well here to add it to.
00:57 I could just click Add File, and navigate to that high quality ProRez media file we
01:03 made earlier, and click Open. I'll drop that in the well.
01:10 And it looks to be in good shape. Checking my options here, I can see
01:17 what's going to happen. Down here, I can see my menus and my
01:21 chapter menus. Now, there isn't too many options, but
01:24 this does give me the ability to choose what I want.
01:28 Now, you'll need to export to a dedicated drive that works, or I'll burn this to a
01:32 hard drive, and take it over to one of my Macs that does have a DVD burner.
01:38 And choosing between black or white as a template.
01:41 Yes, somehow Apple felt it was worth killing all of those beautiful templates
01:46 it had in iDVD, to give you the choice of black, or white.
01:50 But, Apple doesn't put a lot of worth in removable media these days, so if you're
01:54 looking for burning a DVD, you don't have a lot of choices on a Mac unless you step
01:58 outside of Apple software. I've got my choice there.
02:03 I can choose to manually add my own background image, which is not a bad
02:07 idea. There are no chapter markers here so I
02:10 don't need to do that. And when the disk loads, instead of
02:14 showing the menu, I'll just go right to playing the movie.
02:18 That looks good, and I can click Submit, and the project will build.
02:24 If you are on a Mac with a built in drive, it would then go ahead and trigger
02:27 burning the disc when it was all done. In my case, it's just going to write into
02:31 the hard drive and then I can transfer that to my iMac back on my desk, and I
02:34 can go ahead and use that to burn the disk.
02:38 I also alternately can get an external Apple super drive, and connect that to my
02:42 laptop, and use removable media that way to burn a DVD

Conclusion
Goodbye
00:00 My name's Rich Harrington, and I'd like to thank you for joining me on this
00:03 course today. I'm super passionate about Apple Keynote,
00:06 and I love the type of control I have to make great looking presentations.
00:10 Now, I promise I'll be back in the future with additional Keynote training, but I'd
00:13 love to hear your feedback on this course.
00:16 Please leave a comment, tell us what sort of things you'd like to see covered in
00:19 the future, and any feedback on this class in particular that you'd like to
00:22 offer up. I promise we'll come back with more
00:26 Keynote training, and there's a lot more to look at, particularly with things like
00:29 working with photographic sources and creating custom animations.
00:34 While you're at it through, we do have a lot more training here available on the
00:36 Lynda.com training library. You can check out other Keynote training
00:40 titles, and I have a bunch of extra classes all about working with videos and
00:44 photos to give you some idea on how to get more done with your Mac.
