I will be in Germany next Tuesday, but will be giving a presentation over the internet to 40+ people in Mexico. I was hoping that iCloud Keynote would be the solution for me, since I have a nice presentation written in Keynote. So, I downloaded Yosemite and Keynote 6.5. The presentation is big, 950 MB. It's got a couple 100+ MB movies.
My dream was that I could:
* simply upload the presentation into iCloud Drive, send someone a link, go to the link at the same as that person, click play and
* control the advancement of slides on their end as well as my end.
I was hoping that:
* my mouse movements would show up on their end (a la prezi)
* there would be a small window of the video of my face that would hover on their screen that I could control the position of
* my movies would play in full resolution on their end (some > 100 MB mp4s)
* my animations would work
Bug:
* I am finding changing the password of my iCloud Drive presentation file very hard!
I am finding that this beta version falls far short of where I need it to be.
Could someone confirm that these shortcomings are true (I have seen posts about movie and animation issues)? Does anyone know if there are plans to add all these features?
What are people's favorite choices for remote presentations? Prezi seems designed for the task (but no video and it doesn't like importing slides from other software). Gotomeeting.com also looks very nice.
Does anyone know if it's hard for Apple to code these things up? Are there patent concerns?
