Record Video Presentations With You In Them Using Keynote

[@josephsoutham5117]

This was extremely useful as I am a Bible Teacher and this will definately enhance my teaching abilities. Thank you so much.

[@rsteelecfp]

Thanks, Gary! This is a feature I was unaware of and will be very useful.

[@loisskiathitis8926]

I apologize for my tardiness! A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

[@warrenwells8905]

Good stuff Gary. I can certainly see myself using this for a class I lead

[@Chazd1949]

Thank-you, Gary ! I have been thinking about doing this for awhile. I do a fair amount of teaching and someone asked me if my lectures are available as a video recording. I have a great video editing program (not iMovie - the latest version doesn't work at all on the Mac mini that came with it already installed - Grrrr). Keynote, however, is fantastic. Thanks again for all you do to help us Mac users get more out of our computers and software.

[@oldmachead]

Super tutorial, Gary. Thank you. I was not aware of this feature and it is very cool. More cool is the way that you explained how it works. You are a great teacher and your lessons are very much appreciated.

[@DesertFawkes1]

shoutout to you good sir! I'm a college student with a MacBook pro that I have 3 videos due for and here you are with a plan. I subscribed and I'm tuned in brother!

[@msjohntutors]

OMG I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING FOR THIS BUT NEEDED THIS!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@destructodisk9074]

I have never actually used Keynote because I never imagined myself doing a presentation or slideshow. However with this I imagine I could use it as part of my video editing flow. I wonder if you can have a prerecorded video as the entire slide and then this little box live recording as a host on top.

[@macmost]

You could. But then you'd be recording a recording and quality would suffer. But if it gets the job done and pro-level quality isn't needed, then it could be an OK solution.

[@MagnumOpusRR]

Fantastic, thanks for helping. Somehow I do not have the option to remove the background. Do we need a green screen for that? I have all the software updates but the option to that is not present.

[@macmost]

Perhaps your Mac is too old for that part?

[@MagnumOpusRR]

@@macmost 4 years, it's a Mac Air, maybe that's the reason, anyway, the rest works perfectly well, thanks :)

1:23 what do you call the green cover over your chair? I can’t find them on Amazon.

Search for “stretch office chair cover” and look for options that fit your chair and have lots of color choices, then hope they have a green one.

Lovely Gary. I learned something new today.

[@Pakpa_Pukh]

First of all, thank you so much for this video, Gary. I have an issue though, when I record it with my Mac built-in camera it records inverted image video. How do I change it to mirror image So that my recording looks normal?

[@macmost]

In Keynote? I'm not sure what you are saying. You say "it records inverted image video" which would mean it is mirrored. But then you say "How do I change it to mirror image" which means you want it to be mirrored. It should only record as normal. Hold some text up to the camera and see if it is backwards or not.

[@Sandgalah]

Thank you for excellent easy to follow steps on how to ! Have small problem after following all steps (using Macbook and Keynote V13), playback (defaults to Apple TV app on Macbook) I can't hear my voice ! All System Settings sound, privacy and security checked to allow KN + Chrome App. Any ideas please xx

[@macmost]

Can you hear your voice when playing back in Keynote just on your Mac?

[@Sandgalah]

@@macmost Thank you for replying. No sound at all once I save it as the recorded file then export.. Meanwhile.. I replayed your instructions, and notice when it comes to showing 'recording audio' and 'record live video' there is no demonstration of this. Would love to see steps on eg: "how to begin recording into slideshow". maybe i shoudl check out the rest of your YT's ! thank you again

[@macmost]

@@Sandgalah But is it there when you play back inside Keynote? (I'm trying to establish if the sound is being recorded in the first place).

[@Sandgalah]

@@macmost yes I can hear my voice and see myself talking when I'm recording it. Upon sving then playing back in iMOvie I only see myself talking but can't hear it. Thanks for helping. Have check all Permissions and connections, audio in other apps and are working ok.

[@macmost]

@@Sandgalah What about playing it back in Quick Look? Or QuickTime Player? You've got to narrow it down, keep trying things, investigate...

[@MULTIFAMILYINVESTINGCANADA]

Hi Gary. Excellent video. However, I have not figured out to conect my Shure micropone nor a 4 K camera. My MacBook pro does not recognize either. It will recognize a webcam or the mac built-in camera but not an external one. Any suggestion?

[@macmost]

So these are both USB devices? And you connect them directly to the USB ports on your Mac? And then where are you looking to find them?

[@MULTIFAMILYINVESTINGCANADA]

@@macmost Hi Gary. Thanks for answering so quickly. The webcam is USB, so is my Shure MV7 mic, and my 4K camera is HDMI cable plugged into the mac.

[@macmost]

@@MULTIFAMILYINVESTINGCANADA If you have a Mac with an HDMI port it is for connecting a screen. It doesn't go in the other direction. It isn't for a camera. So, for the USB devices, are you plugging directly into your Mac and where are you looking to find them after you connect them?

[@MrRod-fj2ts]

I so needed this! I owe you a beer bud!

[@melaseron]

Awesome! Thanks so much for this! 🙏🏽

[@garynagle3093]

Wow. Very useful! Thank you

[@GeorgiaMade404]

How do you record individual slides, or do you have to record all in one take?

[@macmost]

You can always record as much or as little as you like, export, and then work with the results as multiple clips in iMovie and edit them as you like. Experiment a bit with it and see what works for you.

[@drshwetaenglishacademy]

can we use our phone camera instead of the MacBook inbuilt camera to record all this?

[@macmost]

Yes, if you have a recent enough iPhone and MacBook. support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-iphone-as-a-webcam-mchl77879b8a/mac

[@railway187]

Very good explanation thanks. I usually record my audio slide per slide, I find this more easy than recording the whole presentation in one shot. Is there a possibility to record video slide per slide, in the same way as recording audio?

[@macmost]

Record video of the presentation, or record video of yourself talking, or something else?

[@railway187]

@@macmost I would like to record myself talking as a video in some of the slides of the presentation. In other slides I would continue to record only my voice by "insert - record audio", as I do now for all the slides (which is easier than record the whole presentation in one go). The video-version would enhance my language lessons (on my other KZbin-channel), as I could for instance show how to pronounce a specific sound on some of the slides, while keeping the other slides audio-comment only. So I was hoping to find a function "insert - record video", but I couldn't find it.

[@macmost]

@@railway187 You'd use QuickTime Player or something else to record the video, then drag and drop the video files onto the slide.

[@railway187]

@@macmost OK, thanks. Let's hope that in a next update Apple will add the "record video" function, as is already available for audio.

[@DavidLGraham]

@graham202 I think the ability to record a single slide using the Live View camera settings would be great.

[@paulbynre632]

Hi Gary, Is there a way to use a Keynote presentation so that the actual slide I want to discuss is on the main screen, whilst my laptop shows just the presenter view. If there is, could you please run a tutorial on this topic. Thanks, Paul [New Zealand]

[@macmost]

Yes, it should work that way by default. You can set it up too. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYiaXmimjtx3g7M

[@paulbynre632]

@@macmost Many thanks Gary. I'm using keynote version 14.2 - I have just discovered that there is a second window under the top play button which is called "Rehearse Slideshow". This seems to allow me to add all the presenter notes in that window before proceeding to show the presentation. I will try this out overnight and get back to you. In the meantime, many thanks, I think I'm getting there. Regards, Paul

[@Nutwigg1]

Prof, I know this question isn’t 100% related to this presentation, but in the same ‘ballpark.’ I have been trying to figure out how to insert a virtual background using iMovie. I’ve watched multiple tutorials and web sites - they’re all consistent on what needs to be done (select green screen as the option and then overlay the virtual background). However, I cannot get the virtual background to ‘stick’. So here is my question. *Must* I have a green screen in the background for this feature to work? I don’t own one - that seems to be the only thing missing. I just want to confirm this before I actually run out and buy one. Thanks in advance to Gary, or anyone else who can answer this.

[@macmost]

So you are trying to use the green screen option without a green screen? It requires that. You can use any green surface (wall, poster board, sheet), you don't need a professional green screen for trying it out.

[@Nutwigg1]

@@macmost Thank you, thank you, thank you! Yes that’s what I was trying to do. I know it seems like an unusual question. I have never taped a home video so thought maybe it wasn’t 100% necessary. Now I know better.

[@oscarg7460]

If you record long video presentations, say an hour, is the recording synchronized? Many years back, Keynote would be all over the place when recording. So the pagination would not match the voiceover, for example.

[@macmost]

Should be. I've never had issues with that.

[@NikunjJoshi2709]

This was extremely useful,Thank you so much, but one qustion ,The video that is being recorded on the web is running very intermittently, is there any solution? And can iPhone's camera be used as a webcam?

Not sure about your first question. That depends on the details. A for using your iPhone as a camera, see support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-iphone-as-a-webcam-mchl77879b8a/mac

I have 2 questions Is it possible to edit the Keynote video using iMovie? Also, would it be possible to separately shoot a video using QuickTime and then add it to a Keynote slideshow that’s already been created? As always, thanks in advance.

[@macmost]

After you export a video from Keynote, you can certainly bring it into iMovie, yes. Try it and see. And yes, you can import a video into Keynote. Kinda the opposite of what I show in this video. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnLaZamdqNuDmqM

Sorry but my question is not related precisely to this presentation but to Key note in general. How can we make sure that our KN presentations will be readable in 20 yeas time, for example. Thinking ahead for posterity! Thank you.

[@macmost]

Export in a variety of formats: PDF and a video would work. You can also export as a series of images. I doubt any of those formats will be going away.

Sorry, I don't use Outlook or OneNote so I can't be of much help there.

[@sphchurch]

What I want to do is have Keynote show in a frame on right with my video on left. Can you do that with this method or does Keynote have to take the whole slide?

[@macmost]

Keynote IS the whole background of the video. So design/redesign your Keynote presentation so it is mostly to the right side of the area.

[@sphchurch]

@@macmost yeah! I’m probably going to have to setup OBS or eCamm to do what I want to do. My camera in a square on left and Keynote in a window on the right.

You won't see that when recording in Keynote. Use builds inside the slide to point out items for emphasis while talking is one option.

@ I was on the phone with somebody from Apple for about an hour, and we could not figure out how it was there. And then I said, let me go back and watch his video and apparently I thought that you were clicking on the video of yourself for magic move. I did not know that you were clicking on the slide itself.Because that’s the only time you actually see magic move thank you.

This is interesting but I don’t like tutorials where the speaker includes a video of him or herself. If I’m in a live classroom setting I usually just look at the screen or whiteboard not at the teacher. I find the “little person “ image distracting. I watch tutorials and presentations on my iPad so I use a small sticky note to cover the person so I can focus.
