How to design great slides and presentations in Apple Keynote [MASTERCLASS]

[@stevehof]

I found your channel this morning and I've already watched almost all of your Keynote tutorials. You have a real gift. Thanks so much dude!

[@JudyYuTong]

The tips starting from 14:45, the subtle time delay adjustments, totally change the way I thought of animating in Keynote. I've never thought that it should be "with" instead of "after" {previous build}. Using "with previous build" along with 0.3~0.5s delay makes it much easier to arrange the tempo of the animation. I learned a lot from the tutorial. Thank you !!

[@StephenGates]

That is a real game changer. The 'after' delay is always too long for me and all my work uses 'with' since it gives yo use much more control and nuance. So glad to helped!

[@RebeccaLMorgan]

Bravo! As a professional speaker for 40 years, I so appreciate this video. I teach other speakers how to improve their presentations and this is right on target. Excellent!

[@JonGuinn1]

I can tell just by how well this video is presented that you have mastered this. Thanks for sharing.

[@abdulkadirkara1501]

It was such a pleasure to watch what you can do in Keynotes :))) It was a great presentation. Thanks a lot.

[@premiumturkish]

This is what I call a masterclass. Thank you so much!

[@benedictjazz]

This tutorial was a top notch video about the keynote presentation, and it was a bit more. You have passion about the view of less is more. Thank you for your work!

[@StephenGates]

Glad you like it and thank so much.

[@mbasappa]

Love your phrase.... every presentation is a performance . That is what it is for me. I am mine own audience.

[@StephenGates]

It puts you in a difference head space and does make a difference.

@@StephenGates You are very welcome!

[@ToniWall]

Great tutorial! I love your font. What is the name of the font you used? Also, can you make a tutorial about showing a keynote presentation on Zoom?

[@StephenGates]

I use Montserrat and Eina 04 for my presentations. And I will add using Keynote and Zoom to the list for a future video.

[@abeverly2005]

This was VERY helpful! I've been feeling kind of stale with the limited creativity at my job, want to be able to offer this service for my freelance business and never used keynote, so I wanted to add it to my skills for presentations and slide decks. I was wondering what made it so better than just another Powerpoint, but found your tutorial and you quickly convinced me. I always get so irritated when I see people with paragraphs on slides (my job included) so I loved this simplicity! Thank you for this!

[@StephenGates]

Glad it was helpful! It is not an easy tool to learn even though it is from Apple but hope all the videos help.

[@erikfruits6733]

Agree with everything you said and like the transformation. It looks like a lot of work but this took you 16minutes and you were explaining everything. Looking for more of you videos now because I like this but I would like to see more of theme. Because of COVID I have to do a lot of presentations over Teams

[@bryanvanmaalsen2697]

This is just awesome! You're a great teacher! Really enjoy and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍🏾👍🏾

You are doing a great professional work. Thank you

[@wflack]

Thank you very much for this video. I have watched it pausing every 2 or 3 seconds and managed to recreate the slides and animations which you have shown here. I now feel like I know a lot more about preparing slides.

[@user-fd6oh2qo5m]

Hello hello Stephen. Just found your channel and binged all through. Love the work and all the insights on keynote which I didn't know earlier. I would like a few tips regarding the content in this video. When we slides with individual elements, was wondering is it possible to change the size of the second grouped element? So when communication slide is done you click on it, it moves to the next slide with communication sliding towards the left and chemistry coming in right. So is it possible when the chemistry comes in it bigger than the communication, when the next slide comes in diversity gets bigger and chemistry moves to the left while shrinking? I hope you get to see this and answer. Thanks

[@choegon8761]

Thank you so much. Great Tutorial!

[@PrestigeMarketing]

Stephen, I really enjoyed the video and agree 100% with everything you said! Are you available to hire to put together a slide deck? Let me know, thanks, Tony Matheny

[@andrewcuriel541]

This is great work thank you for your knowledge

[@kirstycarter]

Hi Stephen - thanks so much for your videos. I just made a keynote presentation that was so boring when we played it back that it lost our attention almost immediately. It wasn't as bad as your example but it was terrible. So I'll definitely use your ideas here. Another question - do you have a presentation about loading the slideshow onto a website. The Apple tutorial on this didn't help - I couldn't find the icon they referred to on my screen. I can't load it to You Tube because they only allow 15 minute movies and the keynote is longer. Thanks again!

[@StephenGates]

It would depend on what type of site you would want to load it to but I would suggest three options - Services like slideshare.net are places where you can upload the deck and then use their service to embed it in your site - You can also try File > Export to > HTML but in my experience this is BUGGY unless your deck is pretty simple. Some of the more complicated slides in my decks turn into a dumpster fire. - You could also do a screen record through your Mac and then embed the video in your site or upload it to KZbin.

[@kirstycarter]

Stephen Gates - The Crazy One thank you! The screen record is a good idea and slideshare. I did try HTML and it was a bit of a mess. Thanks again. Kirsty

[@StephenGates]

@@kirstycarter Screen record or Slideshare are the best. Happy to help.

[@marcelocalamita8968]

Excellent tips!

[@jenlemke618]

at minute 7:35, how did you duplicate it to break it down? I keep copy/pasting then I don't get a shrink bar on the bottom. Do you have a more basic tutorial that goes slower and has more specific direction for someone who is just starting out?

[@recruitmentinsights]

Thanks a lot for great insights. I have a question- The last animation piece with magic move; I got stuck there. I don't see anything like "magic move' tab on my Keynotes for smooth movement of images. Please advise. Thanks

[@joaquinvergara6327]

When I saw the motion I got that WOW effect immediately.

[@StephenGates]

It is. If you ever listed to my podcast or on my videos you will indeed hear one or both of my pugs snoring away in the background. I try to stop them but it is useless.

[@CerenCaglaYasa-re1yz]

Does anybody know What happens when we export the same presentation with all the animations and try to present it in powerpoint?

[@kalmancseh6303]

Unfortunately most of the animations don’t translate to PowerPoint. I just tried exporting a simple magic move, it becomes just 2 separate objects on the 2 slides, the 1st being static, the one on the second appears with a pixelated transition on the slide. There might be some other settings that can be tweaked or rejig the whole thing once in. PowerPoint, but I don’t think it’s a simple export.

[@lehotzkysoma]

[@olympesilve7216]

Hi Stephen, fellow designer here, I have an ordeal I'm hoping you could help me with. I made extensive Keynote masters for my client, and they would like it all to be transferred into Google Drive for future uses by non-Mac users. Problem: Drive doesn't convert my masters, only the presentation itself, and even then it messes it up quite a bit, too. I'm banging my head on the walls here. Is there a way to import my theme / Masters over to Google Slides? Thank you !!!

[@StephenGates]

I will answer assuming you mean Google Slides instead of Google Drive. The problem is there is no good or easy way to do this. In the past I have exported my Keynote to the older Keynote 9 format or Powerpoint which usually works better with Slides and then imported that. I then had to go through and clean everything up but the import gave me a head start over starting from scratch.

[@olympesilve7216]

@@StephenGates Thank you so much for your answer. Indeed that's what I did in the end. Crazy that those are not fully compatible.

[@designer-akash]

This is my type of design taste. BUT the point is what if we need to send this presentation as PDF to the client/other people and also we want to make this presentation as a printable Booklet at the same time. Yes! that's what some too much talented company want from a designer. Save time and money also the attractive design.

[@karincupidoeriksson6649]

Do you think the same when it comes to digital presentations? Do you keep them as "clean", using very little text? :)

[@StephenGates]

I do. I think the same things apps to any presentation where it is about attention control and storytelling.

[@stefanmaurer8536]

I'm trying to move in a logo from the bottom of the screen and fade it in at the same time. I fail. What do I do wrong?

[@StephenGates]

It should be two slides with a Magic Move transition. Start by just doing the animation where the logo is at the bottom on slide 1 then on the middle on slide 2. Once that works go to slide 1 and set the opacity to 0 and that should do it

[@stefanmaurer8536]

@@StephenGates That's it. I'm not sure why I couldn't figure this one out. I already nailed some really cool stuff for my presentations and some of those were born after watching your videos and getting inspired by them. So thank you!

How do I add music to just one slide?

If you have the MP3 or audio file then you can just drag it into the slide just like with a move and then you can adjust all the settings.
