Wow!!! That gallery (tip 5) is just awesome. OK. I won’t do this for every tip.

[@nidostar2013]

Thanks, Gary. Another very informative video. I can’t get over how versatile Keynote is. It has grown to be way more than just a presentation app.

[@michaellwalker8748]

Me clicking on this: I’ve watched tons of videos on how to use Keynote. I’m pretty much a pro. Me three tips in: Wait. I didn’t know you could do that with images and shapes. 😮

[@jeannedyer5446]

WOW! Gary. Thanks, lots of great information. The record audio per slide will be a game changer for me! After making > 20 videos for my classes using Keynote, this one tip will save soooo much time. Loved the Line Draw!

Great information, I’m wondering why I purchased the Affinity programs, with everything that the Mac can do. Thanks!

[@Mangold108]

Thanks

[@johnwade7430]

Excellent

[@johnwade7430]

A month back I was asked to make a presentation for my organisation. I am a teacher and for Western teachers the use of PowerPoint is pretty sacrosanct. So I went ahead and produced my work in the said App only to find that it would not load properly. In the end I had to port the whole thing over to Keynote - such a waste of man power. It rescued the presentation for me but never again….sigh…

[@Archiblog]

8:16 No 11 Line Draw Shapes - Thanks Gary - am trying this.

[@patbehling7924]

Gary, thanks for allll of this great information. One question, I'm trying to have multiple videos on 1 Keynote slide as you did in an early KZbin (2012) but can't figure out how to get them to run simultaneously as you did. Seems with Big Sur and a new Keynote I can't get the same opportunity in QuickTime. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@benmahon]

Great video! Can you tell 90% of the tutorial videos I watch how to do it please!

[@keneezy4014]

[@vendulabendova2493]

Thanks Steven for these videos, already helped me a lot. I am just looking for one more thing. I teach first aid. For the cpr we have interactive manikins with an app that shows you how are you performing. Can I somehow have this app opened in keynote while presenting so that I dont have to leave the presenting mode everytime a I want to use it? Thanks a lot for your help! Vendy

[@macmost]

You can't have an app inside Keynote like that. You'll need to switch from the presentation to that app. Using the app switcher or Mission Control and having that app in full screen mode should be it pretty seamless if you come up with a set of steps and practice switching.

[@vendulabendova2493]

@@macmost Thanks :)

[@brandyashton9765]

That was super helpful! Do you have any videos on how to add branded colors by hex code and add branded fonts?

[@macmost]

I don't know what you mean by "branded colors" and "branded fonts."

[@brandyashton9765]

@@macmost I was looking for a place to add hex codes for the colours I use over and over again in my presentations. Ex. background colour or text colour. All I can find is the colour picker. 🤷‍♀️

[@macmost]

@@brandyashton9765 Right. The Color Picker does exactly this. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2m0YamCr890oLc

[@brandyashton9765]

Thank you!

[@edsonmahfuz]

Great! A question: it is the second time you show us the Line Draw action but I cannot find it in Keynote 10.1. There is Wipe which does almost the same. What version is your Keynote? Thanks.

[@macmost]

It has been around for a while. But you have to make sure you have selected a line or non-filled path for it to be an option. Watch carefully how I do it in the video.

[@pfetkvtz11]

how do you Word Count?? Thanks!

[@beatrixr5692]

how do i change the shortcuts so I can skip to the next slide without having to press (fn + -->). i use keynote to look at powerpoints for school and hate that I cant just press the right arrow to view the next slide. I've gone through the preferences and cant seem to find a setting for it

[@drmelhopperkoppelmandac6834]

Excellent presentation! I have a question about the Keynote interface that I wondered if you could help with. I use Dark mode on my computer and I usually use slides with black backgrounds for my presentation. But there's almost no contrast between the Keynote interface canvas and slide so I can't see where it ends. Do you know how to change the color of software background so I can see the slides?

[@GetReferralsEveryTime]

Hi Gary. thanks. quick question please, I followed one of your videos on keynote and watched you remove the 5 sec between slides when converting to mp4 or mov. Every time I tried it, I got the 5 sec timing in the video ??? I did as you did - highlight delete, tried deleting, tried even putting to 1 sec and it still came out as 5 sec ????? what's the magic please Gary. thanks

[@macmost]

How long the slide lasts depends on a lot of factors: builds, transitions, the options when you export, etc. You just have to figure out where you are getting it from.

[@GetReferralsEveryTime]

@@macmost Hi Gary thanks, think I may have confused you, keynote automatically selects a 5 second time delay between slides when converting to video ( mp4/mov). I watched you make it 0. but when I try that it seems to always revert to 5 seconds when i export to video. Why did it work for you and not me ? thanks again. ( congrats on your 1000 patreons, incredible! )

[@macmost]

@@GetReferralsEveryTime Not sure. Try different things. Try 1 second to see if that works. Also, my presentation has some time for each slide to build. Without that, maybe it forces it to need 5 seconds since 0 seconds would mean nothing would show at all?

[@GetReferralsEveryTime]

@@macmost Thanks Gary. I'll try it. cheers B

[@lynnkennon3162]

All my icons on the tool bar are grey. How do I change the settings so that they are in color?

[@macmost]

In Big Sur, most toolbar icons are simple line drawings that are one color. That's how they look.

[@mediaperson4190]

how can i get copper black font?

[@macmost]

Just like any other font. Search for it, purchase it, download it and install it.

[@westendudo]

Hi, how can i mask a film in keynote?

[@macmost]

Not sure what you mean. Can you explain more detail. Maybe use the forum at macmost.com.
