iPresentee Keynote Animations requires Keynote and QuickTime. All animations is also compatible with Pages, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express and Motion.
Ways to add animation to Keynote presentation
• Drag animation file from the Finder window to the slide canvas or to a media placeholder.
• Click Media in the toolbar, click Movies, select a file, and then drag it to the slide canvas or to a media placeholder.
• Choose Insert > Choose, select animation file, and then click Insert.
You can add animation to a slide that plays when a slide appears or when the presenter clicks the mouse.
When animation plays during a presentation, animation controls appear when you move the pointer over the movie if “Show playback controls when pointer is over a movie” is selected in the Slideshow pane of Keynote preferences. The controls available depend on the size (dimensions) of the movie; the smaller the movie, the fewer controls visible. If your slideshow includes animations, you can save these media files as part of your slideshow. Saving media files with a slideshow enables you to move the slideshow to a different computer without having to transfer the media files separately.
To save animation files with a slideshow:
1. Choose File > Save As.
2. If you don’t see Advanced Options at the bottom of the Save dialog, click the disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As field.
3. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of Advanced Options.
4. Make sure “Copy audio and movies into document” is selected and click Save.
Adjusting Animation Playback Settings
In the QuickTime Inspector, you can change such settings as when to start and stop animation, and the frame to display until animation starts playing.
How to set media playback preferences:
1. Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the QuickTime Inspector button.
2. Click on animation object to select it.
3. To start and stop animation at particular frames or times, drag the Start and Stop sliders.
4. To specify which frame of animation to display until animation starts playing (called the “poster frame”), drag the Poster Frame slider until the movie displays the image you want.
5. To start animation when the presenter clicks the mouse (instead of when the slide appears), select “Start movie on click.”
6. Choose a repeat option from the Repeat pop-up menu: None; Play only once; Loop; Repeat continuously; Loop Back and Forth; Play backward and forward continuously.
7. To increase or decrease the playback volume, drag the Volume slider to the right or left.
Moving an Object Forward or Backward
When objects overlap or when text and animation overlap, you can change the order of objects in the stack.
To move animation in front or in back of text, another object or animation:
1. Select the object you want to move.
2. To move an object a layer at a time, choose Arrange > Bring Forward or Send Backward.
3. To move an object to the very top or bottom of the stack, choose Arrange > Bring to Front or Send to Back.
If you frequently layer objects, you can add the Front, Back, Forward, and Backward buttons to the toolbar to work more efficiently.
