Oct 22, 2013 11:03 PM in response to Donatonezby glenn.elliott.london,Hi Donatonez,
I think that Smartbuilds seem to have been dropped - I cant find them anywhere either and when I opened a file containing Smart builds I got a messsage saying that they would be dropped. That's a bit of a loss! I think all you can do for now is to recreate an alternative using your pictures on several slides and then hope that Apple brings back the Smart build feature in a future maintenance release.

Oct 22, 2013 11:45 PM in response to Donatonezby peterfromvienna,missing them too. maybe we all should use the »provide keynote feedback« option in the apple menu to alert them about this. i have multiple smart builds in all my presentations. loosing them is not an option!

Oct 23, 2013 5:59 AM in response to peterfromviennaby Dan Blackwood,I just fount a solution. In the inspector it allows for animation. Two smart-builds I had came up as slides with multiple pictures on them. What I had to do was to select each one individually and set the animation on it. They still stayed on the same slide.

Oct 23, 2013 3:25 PM in response to peterfromviennaby Donatonez,Thank you all for your responses. I agree with Peterfromvienna in providing a feed back. Also Thank you Dan. I know of that option but although they stay in the same position the problem with that is that not all pics are the same and in some cases some of them dont come out in the same position they originally were although they stay within the slide. I know I can manually do it by loading 1 pic at the time giving the animation individually but this is a pain to do when you have 5 or more pics. That was the convinience of smartbuild, using the same build in or out for all of them at once.

Oct 24, 2013 4:57 PM in response to dGungadooby Donatonez,This seems to be the case as of now. However and although is time consuming, you can set pictures to pretty much do the same thing by adding 1 picture at the time and going to animation then set a build in and a build out for each pic individually (This is a pain) and that will do it. For me it's just too much work and time consuming. Please submit a feed back in hopes of the functionality making its way back.

Oct 28, 2013 2:42 PM in response to Edu Garciaby Donatonez,After playing around for a lil bit of time, I've decided to go back to the older version at least until they add a few more features such as this. If anyone of you has changed any files to the new version and want to convert them back to the old format, I found this link with information. I haven't tried it myself but hope you guys can use it if needed.

Mar 25, 2014 2:16 PM in response to Donatonezby ScreamBlueMurder,I have to agree with you, the loss of smart builds is just madness! It is one of the reasons I originally changed from PowerPoint and have converted so many other people. Yes, you can create the same effect but placing images on top of each other and animating them in and out - but when you have a slide deck with approx 15 slides which have approximately 25 images per slide you can see how the time builds up and makes it practically impossible in comparison.
I hve gone back to the old software and will continue to use this until Apple recreate this option or develop something else that will do multiple image builds.

Aug 8, 2014 11:56 AM in response to Stephen Tobackby Gary Scotland,Smart Builds are still available in Keynote 5, unless you you have deleted version 5, its located in the iWorks 09 folder in applications.
If you are using Keynote 6, turntable is replaced by Rotate: Inspector > Animate > Action > Add an Effect > Rotate

Aug 8, 2014 12:06 PM in response to Gary Scotlandby Stephen Toback,Hi Gary - Not sure how rotating the image is the same as rotating through a number of images. It doesn't seem to be the same thing. Sorry if I'm missing something. Our faculty have new Macs and don't have access to the older version of Keynote.
