Magic move with tables and charts

Question

Magic move with tables and charts

Hi there,

I am comfortable with the functionality of magic move transitions. However, I am stuck when using charts and tables. The chart or table fades out on the first slide and fades in (in the right place and everything) on the second slide.

I would like the transition to be the same as with a shape - that is, it stays on the screen and resizes / repositions instead of fading out and then in.

Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've had trouble with this too
I even saw apple do it during WWDC keynote
Phil Schiller Said "Keynote-Magic Move"(pause at 3:08 of the video)

Apple often has new versions of Keynote used at their events. it might be a new version. Or he built up the chart with lots of lines.

Thanks for the feedback.

But surely Apple would acknowledge this as a major feature.

I'll check out the video you saw and see if I can add any value.

Cheers,

woof !

Hi again - can't check out the video as you need to pay ('alot') for it. Might be worth it though.

This is quite frustrating - it's like the chart has a build out transition and a build in transition on the next slide but it's been moved as well.

Apart from recreating the chart with lines (which is difficult for a 3d bar chart) what else can I try ?

Thanks in advance (again).

I watched this at time (ages ago) for free so not sure what you are paying for. Anyhow just because he says "Keynote" does not mean it is +actual table object+ being Magic Moved.

(A large part of the power of Marketing is in creating false perceptions without actual doing anything illegal. This has been discussed on other threads and lots of people made same assumption as you have).

There are ways to do what was demonstrated using pngs of the table for the transition then dissolving to the actual table etc etc.

Not a big deal to do for a Big budget presentation like that but a hassle if you are changing the table data as you need to regenerate pngs and so on
