Sample / Example Presentations

here's one. Its an apple seminar. http://www.seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/keynote08/apple/index.html?s=203&lo cs=us_en

Nick ~ I don't know whether this Keynote video presentation qualifies as "good". Anyway, click on the thumbnail...

I'm not sure "good" is the right word... Alan, your presentation is beautiful and sober at the same time. Did you have any difficulty exporting to QuickTime because I'm really having some problems (as others would testify in other threads). Did you use any specific settings causing KN to conserve all your builds?

P.S. I may have not chosen the right words 'cause I'm French speaking. Sorry.

Michel ~ Yes. What I was initially missing was this: In the QT export, choose +Playback Uses: Fixed Timing+ and remove the numbers from the timing boxes. It will then default to your own timings.

Yes, see the sequence of screen-shots in this old thread:




P.S. Thanks for the compliments on the presentation. ...But if it doesn't inspire you to actually practice gazing upwards, it's all for naught. Paying attention to the shapes & colors in your *peripheral vision* is an alternative way to put yourself in the same extraordinary and beneficial state.

I love your presentation--i'd say it's very good--and inspiring
it shows me what you can do with keynote
and reminds me to look upward
thanks!
I've got a lot to learn yet. but thanks for the inspiration

Re-bonjour Alancito. Sorry for the delay in answering back. I followed your specs in the old thread and the export to QT went very well.
I did run into another problem when I imported the QT file in iMovie and added 3 musical clips and exported everything in DV file format, in order to burn a DVD to would autostart and be playable on a reguler DVD machine connecte to a TV.
In fact, the QT file and the DV file (imgaes and sound) were working fine. The problem occured when I tried to export the iDVD and burn eveything. Each time I tried that, the sound wouldn't follow.
This morning, I met a friend who had another Mac and Roxio's Toast 9. We transferd the DV file and burnt it on DVD correctly.
In any case, thank you very much for your previous advice. It really helped.

As soon as I/We work around this Quicktime issue I will post a sample of my "business" oriented presentation geared toward marketing. QUESTION, how does one upload a Keynote presentation to .Mac for sharing with others? I'd like to upload my presentation for others to see. Do they need to have Keynote installed to see properly or is there some kind of gallery we can show this on?

Sorry for the newbie questions... I've been full of them for years now : )

NEF ~ Here are a couple of suggestions and other readers will likely add more...

One way would be: +Keynote > File > Export... > Images+ tab. Then import those images to an album in iPhoto '08 and publish the album to MobileMe Gallery:

Another way would be: +Keynote > File > Export... > QuickTime+ tab. Then import that video file to iMovie '08 and publish the video to MobileMe Gallery:

...Neither of the above requires the viewer to have installed Keynote ~ only a modern PC/Mac and web browser.

My iMovie 08 will note import Quicktime video exported from Keynote. Are there any special settings required so Keynote video is recognized by iMovie? I've tried the default Full, Large setting and variations on that and none of it works. iMovie refused to import the videos.

David ~ If you're having difficulty trying to import to iMovie '08 via: +File > Import Movies...+ instead, simply drag the movie file from the Desktop or Finder to iMovie's lower window (the Event Library). Once there, I believe you can do +File > New Project...+ This will put the movie in the Project Library.

Thanks for the info. It just dawned on me the presentation YOU posted was a movie file...but with all the problems most of us have had on the Quicktime issue I didn't even think to look at the obvious. If I can't make keynote's own Quicktime feature work I may indeed have to make the $99.00 purchase for the screenflow from varasofteware to do the job.

Hope to see additional samples from others here : )

I posted a Quicktime file with my presentation. There's a MEDIUM and a LARGE version. The large seems a bit slow to download, so checkout the medium and tell me what you think...

Thanks NEF

P.S. unrelated to this, but how are you guys pasting an image here with a link? I'd like to be fancy like my man Alancito is... : )
