Feb 5, 2012 11:10 AM in response to trilogy1000by phantem,This is a great idea! -- however, when I export from Keynote, it gives me a .mov file that I can't seem to transcode via Quicktime. The only thing I see as a possible cause is that the files it generates also use the sprite and text codecs...
Can you provide more details on your settings for export from keynote?
Thanks!

Feb 5, 2012 2:05 PM in response to phantemby trilogy1000,Open the .mov file in Quicktime and use the export option to convert Movie to AppleTV. You'll end up with an .m4v file which can be used in iBA.

Feb 5, 2012 3:02 PM in response to trilogy1000by phantem,When I chose to Keynote > Export, then select the Quicktime tab, there are options there that needed adjustment. If i just choose 'Playback Uses: Manual Advance', the resulting .mov file can't be transcoded into a .m4v file. If I choose 'Fixed TImings', and 1 sec for the SLide duration, that achieved the result I was looking for.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Feb 5, 2012 8:47 PM in response to trilogy1000by purdyboy,trilogy1000 - Thanks for this info. I've been researching and pondering what's the best way to do a more interactive and animated book. First book is planned to be a picture book, where lots of interactivity, sounds, and animations would be helpful.
A few questions:
- I know Keynote and Pages fairly well, but haven't done animations in Keynote. Do you know of any resources with more info on advanced Keynote techniques?
- I've seen in these forums the "page" size for iBA as 1024 x 768, but some have noted and I have experienced that iBA itself seems to create horizontal pages at 1024 x 748. Any guidance on page size?
- And... does iBA consider the entire 1024 width to be two pages? That is, does it automatically put the "virtual shadow" down the middle of a book at 512 pixels?

Mar 5, 2012 4:52 AM in response to trilogy1000by edteck,I'm an experience Keynote user for live presentations. I've used some animations - but tend to keep presos simple.
Now I'm interested in using Keynote animations for iBook author. Can you recommend any good guides or examples of animation technique in Keynote? Perhaps share a sample of your work?
Thanks

Mar 8, 2012 1:30 PM in response to purdyboyby ibooks author,The iPad status bar takes up 20 pixels when showing ibooks' pages so it's 1024 x 748 when in landscape mode. Videos take up the entire screen so they can be 1024 x 768.

Mar 8, 2012 1:40 PM in response to edteckby K T,As suggested, you might want to take a close look at 'Hype' - in the (Mac) App Store, as I recall.
