Where are the "Samples Keynote Files?"

All the tutorials show great sample Keynote Presentations, (Ducati, etc), are those files included with Keynote 09? I have looked but haven't been able to find them...

Also, Will Downloaded "Keynote 08 Themes" from places like Keynote Theme Park, and other sites work in Keynote 09?

MacBook Pro 17", Mac OS X (10.5.6)

I think that was just an act of love on the part of designer behind the tutorial.

Sometimes, like the Moss presentation early on in KeyNote's history, it is used on display Macs and a nice Apple Store employee may let you have a copy.

There is no reason the KeyNote 08 themes shouldn't open and work in KeyNote 09 just they won't have all the latest features built in.

the only thing missing in 08 themes are the new large previews in the theme selector, everything else works perfectly fine. In fact, I discovered if you stick the correct previews inside an 08 theme, it works in 08 and shows the previews for 09, which is pretty cool.

I just had a thought RPM3DINC.

See if you can spot the name of the file in the tutorial video (the spacebar will temporarily stop the movie), you will see it at the top of the window Then search the Net to see if you can find it.

Or as I suggested, speak to your friendly Apple Store rep and see if they can get their hands on it for you.

Its Called "DUCATI.key"

Did a search on Google with nothing found except "Real Keys for a Ducati Motorcycle. LOL I will ask my Apple Store tomorrow and see if they can shed any light on it...

I happened to be at my local store as they were loading the iWork demo and saw the drive image they used. There's several presentations, but the most impressive one was the Ducati one.

OK, so I guess the next and obvious question is:

Is the Ducati Keynote file in the "IWORK 09 Demo"? as in I download the demo and can get it that way? Or it would be easier to just ask someone at the apple store to flash it to my Macbook for me... (surely its not that large of a file)...

It doesn't come with the demo, so you can't get it that way. I'd imagine Apple has worked out some deal with the companies that may allow displaying in the stores but NOT using them as an external advertising tool... or something. None of their in-store demos have ever been made publicly available.

Uncompressed it's 103.2 megs, so it's pretty hefty.

So I assume you have it then since you know the size?

Is its something I can get, I am only wanting to see the full version and use a reference point and learning tool (how they applied effects, transitions, etc).

I wish there were "Professional Samples" included in Keynote 09, even if they are just using "fake companies" would be interesting to learn from and see how they do it.

That was exactly what the Moss presentation was and I found it immensely inspiring and educational to see how Apple had put it together.

A quiet and flattering word with an Apple employee should probably get a copy.

Apple should lead by example more often, instead of being a virtual flasher. Giving you a glimpse and then whipping it away.
