Make An Eye-Catching SUBSCRIBE ANIMATION with Keynote (Mac)

I show you how to create an animated subscribe button overlay for FREE using a piece of software that comes bundled with every Mac (at least at the time of this recording). And that software is Apple Keynote.

[@Scrollunlock]

Amazing ❤

[@kenromero9236]

Another great Michael video! Thanks.

[@clementrodrigue]

🙂 Thanks for the suggestion of this video. I see why the transparency of my video was not included in my backup. I didn't know the Apple ProRes 4444 type, nor the other Apple ProRes! This is new to me. I have always made my backups in H.264 mode. I will follow your example. Thank you so much. 👍🏾

[@MacVideoMagic]

No worries! H.264 doesn't carry an alpha channel (transparency). But, you can get around that by using a green background and keying it out.

[@Groovy_Stance]

thank you soo much !! always thought keynote was pointless ! just made my 1st thumbnail on it on it too

[@TheEssentialRanchersLife]

[@ricefieldrecords]

I am new to you channel and finding you to be an excellent teacher. Once I bring the animated subscribe button into iMovie, export and upload it into KZbin, what and when (in the process) are the settings to make the button actually allow viewers to subscribe? Is there a code string?

[@Heesjesopwielen]

Hi Mike, thanks for al your great vlogs. Do you have make an vlog about animated usdz keynote? regards from the Netherlands Peter

[@MacVideoMagic]

Thinking about it. Might do a little demo in an upcoming livestream.

[@punknugget561]

Is there any way to angle an image to give depth perspective? I know you can rotate it, but to grab a corner of the image and have the ability to move JUST that corner that you can move to angle the image would be great. I know you can easily do this in Photoshop and Illustrator. If you know of a way to make that happen, please let me know, thank you.

[@worldlightchaser]

Super video❤

[@MacVideoMagic]

Thanks!

[@ShawnGBR]

14:15 Is it true that HEVC can have transparency too, cutting down the file size?

[@user-qj2rj2mn6v]

Hi I cannot get the transparent background to work.

[@FLAVMEDIA]

Awesome:))

[@_Per_Aspera_Ad_Astra_]

[@garymason7]

Thanks so much for this! I’ve made myself a professional looking subscribe button 👏🏼👏🏼

[@MacVideoMagic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stewartl5109]

Another great and very well explained video for animation using keynotes. I have a question can you add this example SUBSCRIBE animation to DaVinci resolve 18 ?

[@MacVideoMagic]

As long as DaVinci can read a ProRes 4444 file, it should work.

[@stewartl5109]

@@MacVideoMagic because you are a professional editor and I’m still learning this editing craft.. would you do a quick explainer on how this is done in DaVinci Resolve 18 please? 🙏🏻✌🏻

[@KARMI-MAN]

Hey, Great video, unfortunately after exporting the subscribe video into the iMovie project the black background is not transparent, I followed each step , and in cutaway mode and yet still not working ? maybe its because my iMovie project is 1080p and the keynote export was 4k ? please help , and thank you so much sir.

[@MacVideoMagic]

What are your Keynote export settings?

[@MacVideoMagic]

Did you switch the slide background to "no fill" before exporting from Keynote?

[@canuckcravings]

Can you do this with FCP?

[@MacVideoMagic]

You can definitely import that Keynote animation into FCP.
