Greetings dear macnn-community :)

I'm working on a very big presentation at the moment and i can't overcome one obstacle. I'm sure one or more of you guys can help me with this.

Setting:
I got about 30 pictures on one page and i want them to appear scaled one after another. I managed everything - the presentation is working this way but i have to click my mousebutton for EVERY graphic to appear. The opposite is to group all of them - all would appear at one time then...

What do I have to do to click ONCE and then, all are appearing one after another automatically?

I bet it's simple, but i don't know how...


Many thanks for reading and even more for helping :)

maybe keynote 2 will have something for this, but keynote 1 you are going to have to click to each one to appear.

keynote 2 can do this. there is a drawer on the inspector and you add actions into that and then on each one you can choose if it should show up manually or automatically (at the same time as the previous, or after)

With Keynote 1 you're stuck with the button - automated builds is one of the more useful updates in Keynote 2 + it's a piece of cake to get something like this set up.

I'm thrilled to hear this. I was hoping for automated builds in Keynote 2. That should also help with exported flash presentations

just dunno how to solve this in an elegant way in my presentation _ TOMORROW _

One suggestion - export that slide as a quicktime file (and it will auto advance). Then re-import it into Keynote and place it on the slide and turn on autoplay.

I've gotta thank you. That's the idea i needed. Perfect workaround for that. thanks a lot for this idea - worked great for me and my presentation.

Does anyone know why it says that I cannot play Burn or Flash transistions on my TiBook - surely it should be able to handle such things?

Good question. I have the same thing listed on my eMac. Perhaps those effects require Core Graphics capable machines ??

Oh, and good workaround Amorya .

I never had Keynote 1 but I now have Keynote 2 -- the automatic queuing is one of the coolest features about it. Just tinkering I got some funny text to slowly "wipe" on to a slide beneath a video running above ... at the precise moment (about 6 seconds into the video clip) that it was funniest I bought iWork for Pages but I'm HIGHLY impressed with Keynote. I can already see several useful things it can be used for beyond mere presentations.

Re: Burn & Flash - they're actually pretty simple effects, but require something in particular (that i can't remember) to be available on the vid card. There's a FAQ on Apple's Support site that runs through the vid cards on recent machines and which ones will support these transitions.

You're not missing much, though - trust me They're cool on first pass but seem to wear out quickly once the initial wow factor has subsided.

Hmmmmm ... not saying I don't believe you, but if you have a sec and would run those effects and then export to a QT movie, I'd love to at least see what we're missing

On another note, the ability to export to "QT interactive" is a beautiful thing. I was able to export a self-guided QT movie using my favorite codec (3ivx) and turn a beheamoth 27mb, 1024 x 768 Keynote file into a 812kb 512 x 384 QT that looked nearly as good.
