Sorry, I didn't see this on any of the software update sites, nor posted anywhere else for that matter; however, Keynote 1.1.1 has been posted in Software Update....

Hmm, I wonder what's keeping them from adding QuickTime controls to movies.

Problems with mouse click management?

It's kinda annoying since there a lot of movies, both regular and vr, I'd like to use inline.

Still no support for transitions when moving backwards to previous slides. I haven't found a plugin yet that will do this. I guess I will stick with PowerPoint for a little while longer.

You will stick with PowerPoint a while longer because Keynote doesn't have transitions when going back to a previous slide?

Good lord. Well I guess some people have different priorities.

I use PP for running slides for song words at the church I attend. If our music director decides to do verse 1 again after verse 2, I have no transition. It may not seem like a big thing but it is the only think keeping me from using Keynote for everything.

Hmmm...makes sense. My apologies.

When I do songs, I go for no transition. Sometimes words change to quick to need one.

How's the video playback performance? Keynote 1.1 does an OK job. I stretch my 720x480 movies full screen (from FCP) and play them, keynote seems to get about 25fps while PowerPoint will play them with no problem at 30fps. Most people don't notice, but it just really bugs me, and I'm running off a rev B 17".

Keynote would be so much more awesome if it didn't disable the mouse while presenting the slide show (2 displays).

any way to present the show on another monitor while having access to the note view on the main computerso u can remember additional stuff as u talk?

PowerMatt,

I too find transitions on my lyrics to be a pain. I think that a large group of people running a lyric tend to not use the transitions on lyrics but on the other slides within a show. I personally am not fond of the linear design of Keynote or PPT for worship but they do have strong capabilities. Have you looked at 'worship software' such as SundayPlus or ProPresenter?


To the rest of the group:

Do you think the animation and timining feautres and the shadow controls and some of the other PPT XP features not yet on the Mac version may find counter parts on Keynote in the near future? And how about taking text a huge leap forward - any time soon?

Was this update just really to make sure Keynote has no hiccups with Panther?

I mean really, Keynote has been out for quite awhile, many suggestions have been sent to feedback, etc.

I'm hoping to see a real update soon.

Yes, I do it all of the time. The crappy thing is that it disables the mouse. So what you see on the notes page is always the same, no way to scroll through it.

thanks Bonk...how's it done? i gave a presentation today...my first...and couldnt gigure out how to do it...was using a tibook 550 and hooked up to a projector. went into displays and set it to mirror since trying to set them up side by side i couldnt get it to play on the projector only

[macfly]

never mind....i was being a lazy dufus. duh, the help module explained it. thanks anyway!

[bonk]

A trick I started doing: set the projector desktop picture to solid black. Then you can exit Keynote/presentation and no one notices since it's just all black. Comes in handy when you have to switch presentations etc.
