 Hello and welcome. We're going to be talking about keynote today keynote 101 so a beginners guide to keynote and just sort of giving an introduction to it and then we'll move on to some slightly more advanced stuff as well. I do think that keynote is a really underrated app as it goes. It's one that everyone who's got a Mac has got because it's a free app from Apple and it's their sort of equivalent of keynote sorry of PowerPoint in case you weren't aware. So I do actually find that keynote is far more advanced I should say than PowerPoint and that I always choose keynote over PowerPoint given the choice. So we'll be talking about as I say how to use it to set up presentations but we'll also be looking at it from the point of view of how to use it to create graphics. You can export video files you know graphics files from it in that respect as well and I also use it to create all the icons for my stream deck and I'll be talking about how I do that a little bit later as well. So it's a really full featured package. The reason the reason why I'm doing this by the way that what prompted it was all of last week I was over on the e-cam live channel presenting the e-cam advanced series. And one of the particular sessions I did there was all about how to create or use the keynote to add sort of animated graphics and things like that into into e-cam live and I got lots of questions about keynote and people who weren't really aware of what it could do. And so that's what's really prompted this today. So if you've got any questions do drop them into the chat of course and yet we'll we'll try to get through to to all of those in due course. Hi to everyone I can see in the chat already. Great to see some familiar names and familiar faces there. So I'll just get straight on in with it though and I'll circle back to the comments and questions a little bit later. So if I just bring up my keynote and we'll just get straight on into starting off creating a new document. So as soon as you open keynote and create a new document you'll be presented with something like this where you can choose a theme. Basically it has got some sort of pre pre made themes and things like that that you can use. I'm just going to start with a completely blank presentation to begin with because we'll we'll sort of build everything up from there. You do have the option here to change between either widescreen 16 by 9 which is this kind of format or the old Scott style of slides which always used to be four by three. But generally these days I think most people are going to be using the widescreen. You can do more adjustment to the actual size of the document. Once you've started started up as we'll see but I'll just choose this blank presentation to begin with click on create. And then it is going to create that over here. Obviously it's going to move the window right out of the way from where I wanted it. Let me just position it back here. So first of all let's have a little bit of a tour of the interface. Now when you open it up you will see that it's got this sort of document layout panel open but if that isn't open you can click up here. So the interface is basically you've got slides down the right left hand side and then there's different panels depending on what you're doing to change different aspects of the of what you're doing in the presentation. And those are accessed from up here. So you've got format animate and document. So let's actually start with the document settings. So I'm going to click on document. And here you've got a few things that you're going to do to set up the the document that you're creating the presentation that you're creating. So you can see that the theme that we selected is here you can go through afterwards and change it to a different theme and it should update everything accordingly with all of those styles and things like that. A few settings here automatically play upon open. So if you were doing a slideshow for example that you wanted to run in a booth for example at a conference maybe you know or a trade show or whatever then this one automatically play on open means that as soon as you open the file it's going to automatically play it as a slideshow. So that might be something that you want to do there loop slideshow again if you've got something that's you know I always come back to this example this is where I've used it before like it trade shows or things like that and you just want it to continuously play open. So you can actually loop around your presentation and then that would be what that's for restart show if idle for 15 minutes self-explanatory presentation type. Now the general one that you might be used to is you know you want to start a presentation and you're going to deliver that presentation by you know clicking through slides or whatever it is. Yeah the first one that's what normal is links only and you can actually create a sort of navigate navigable slideshow where you might have you know on screen links you can do hyperlinking between different slides and things like that. So you might have something that is more like a you know what's the word user interface I suppose where people can actually come and click take them through some information click back you know all that kind of stuff. So if you want to have something like that which is I think a rather niche use case but that would be what links only is and then self playing is again it's just going to play automatically. It controls all of the transitions you're not going to be sort of clicking through slides so for most people generally I would guess the normal sense the name is going to be the one that you're going to want to use. Now the screen sorry the slides slide size here is widescreen and this is the same as we saw on the first page as well where you know the splash screen to choose your slide type. Then yeah you would have standard or widescreen but you can actually make it any size if you want some different size and then you can come down here to where it says custom slide size and you can actually create absolutely any size that you want. And I mentioned in the intro that you can you can create icons for for stream deck. We'll look at that a little bit later but basically here you would just create a totally square slide so you could change that to you know a thousand by a thousand or whatever and then you've got a a square canvas to work on. So you can basically change this to whatever size you want you aren't actually just limited to those two options of widescreen and and standard require password to open. Obviously self explanatory there. There is another thing here to do with the document settings and that is the audio and what you can do is if you want to present a slideshow and record it like within keynote with your narration over the top of it. You can actually do that so record slideshow here. Click on record and then you can add you know basically run through it. So if you wanted to make a sort of prepackaged presentation with your audio over the top of it you can just do it straight in there. Obviously I'm going to be recommending that any time you want to do presentations then do it in in Ecamp to have you on the screen as well and that sort of thing. So but anyway you can still do that and you can also add a soundtrack but if you just want to make something quickly in here and that's going to you know play then you can you can do that. So that is the document settings. So I'll come back to the circle back to the questions. I see your question Marty about the transitions. I'll come back to the questions when I've gone through all the transition part because we will be coming to that. So keep the questions coming though. I will circle back to get all of those. So if we then come to the other settings that we've got at the top the other panels. So that was the document panel. We've also got animate which will be coming to in a little while. We'll talk about that but that's where you set all different animation settings for the for the slides and for elements within the slide which we'll look at in a moment. And then you've also got the format and this is where you're going to be formatting all of the on screen elements. And basically this is going to change dependent on what you have got selected. So this this inspector panel as they call them is basically related to whatever you select on screen. So if I was to click into here and you'll see that then that inspector panel changed because now we've added we've got some text highlighted. I'll just type in my title like that. So here is where you've got the inspector where you can change various different things. And you'll also notice we've now got different sub menus. We've got style. We've got text. We've got a range. If I had a shape I'll just drop a shape onto the screen and I'll go through or what you can do with all of these in a moment. But if I select that one then you'll see that we have some slightly different options that appear here based on based on the thing that we've got selected. So I'll go through that as we as we look at different elements on the screen but for the time being I'll just move on to a couple of other useful panels that you might be interested in or that I find useful. Well one in particular really in terms of the layout I've told you that you've got the slides will appear down here and if I was to add a new slide just drop any slide in here. Then that is going to be there you'll be able to see the list of all the slides down the side. But there's also this menu here view where you can you could hide that navigator if you want if you don't want to see that. Or you could just show the slide only so these are the different views. So it hides that light table basically is good for arranging if you've got a whole deck of slides and you want to sort of move stuff around. Then you can use that deck view there and then outline is just going to show you basically the outline of the presentation without showing the little thumbnails basically. So I tend to use the navigator view generally when I'm just sort of working. The other views though that you can have is if you come down to this one show object list this is one I find really useful. And that basically shows you everything that you've got in the slide. So let's just come back to this one you can see here if I put this object here so I'm now covering the title with this object so that's a rectangle. We've got the title here the this one here which was the subtitle I'll just write in subtitle so it's clear. So there we've got the title the subtitle and the rectangle. So this thing here though acts a bit like you know it shows you what things are like in terms of layers. So what's something that is in the top is going to appear at the top of the stack and therefore is going to be covering everything below it. So if I just drag this rectangle down to the bottom you'll notice that the text on screen now appears above the square. So if I just drop that you'll see how now the text has sort of moved to the front. You can also just click on any of these items and adjust them as well. So if I click on the square and then right click you can bring things to the front send to the back and that kind of thing. So if I press bring to the front you'll notice that over here it's going to jump to the top so you can order things things that way as well. So that's just in terms of how you how you sort of arrange things on the on the screen but this one I find really useful, especially when you're building out complex things with animations where things are naturally going to be sort of covering each other up. If you're just doing a sort of regular presentation where you've got you know a title and bullet points or something like that. Maybe this isn't so crucial but I find I use this all the time when I'm doing things that have got different shapes, different graphical elements and things like that on the screen at the same time where you need to be very conscious about what is in front of of what else basically. So yeah that's in terms of the layout the way that I tend to use this just generally would be looking something like this. You've got things up in the menu bar up at the top so there's various different buttons up here. You can always edit this. I've tended to stay with the default. There's just one button that I have added which is there's a play button here which plays the slideshow full screen. But I've added this one here play in window because generally coming back to the e-cam advanced series and I'll also leave a link in the description or have left one in the description to another video I did on my channel all about creating immersive presentations using this with e-cam live going into zoom and things like that. So I've left a link to that in the description but to bring keynote presentations into e-cam I would always be playing them in a window and then share that window into e-cam. So I won't go through that specifically today because I've done that in previous videos but this play in window button you can add into the top here and you can change this toolbar just like with most apps here. You can click on customize toolbar and it will bring up a whole series of other buttons that you can potentially add in there and there is this one here that says play in window. So if you do want to add that into the top you just literally drag and drop that button up there. So obviously you can do all of these things from the menu bar so any things that I'm talking about today usually you'll be able to find them in the menu bar as well. So in fact the play button here and you can choose the default whether you want it to play in full screen or play in window. And in that respect when you do the play slideshow command option P then that would just default to whichever you've set there so you can also do it that way as well. So that is it in terms of just sort of the overall layout so let's have a look at how you go about adding some things in here. So in terms of what you can add into well in fact actually let me take it one step back. There is a slide master as you may be familiar with if you've used PowerPoint before so that's basically a way for you to create some initial templates that you can basically just drop your content into afterwards. And in order to get to the slide master you need to make sure that you've not got anything in the scene selected. So as I've now selected this this box here you can see we've got the formatting is relevant to that box. If you click anywhere out of there then you'll see that the the inspector changes and now we're changing things specific to the slide. So you can show the the title and body and things like that that are on there. You can also add in a slide number and these are all part of the the sort of template that we're using. Then the background you can change from a standard background so at the moment this is a black background. Let's just change the color fill though you could change that to a graduated fill you know or anything like that as well so you can see that's more of a graduated fill. Or you know add in your own image or something like that you may want to do that if you've got a specific stylized slide background that you want to use. If you are going to do that rather than do that on a slide by slide basis you would want to do this in the slide master. And in fact that goes for all of these things even just for color fills you'd likely want to have the same thing propagated throughout so you'll notice that now I've changed it in here. If I go to the next slide we're back to that black background so really you want to be doing this on a global basis so it's applying to all slides. So the way to do that is now that we're sort of clicked out we are adjusting the slide down at the bottom edit slide layout. This is now showing as the slide master and you'll see that there's a whole load of slides that have now appeared here and these aren't actually slides. These are the slide masters so these are the different types of layout that are in this particular theme. So when we chose that initial template that theme right at the beginning these are all these sort of predefined slide layouts that it's got in there. So a main title here's one with an image you got an image to the side and different text so all these things like text title text body level and all of that kind of stuff. Those are just different things so if I was to go into this one for example let me just come out of the slide master if ever you want to exit that just click down here where it says done at the bottom. So when I click on add slide at the top you'll see that I've got all of those different templates to choose from and so that was the one that we were just looking at. Double click to edit the title that's where we've got our title and then this was where it was saying body before and so that is basically going to add in these different things. Different sort of bullet points basically but that's obviously just there sort of built in stock template. You'll be probably I guess wanting to create your own so that you've got a consistent look and feel that is in line with your own branding and things like that. So you can go and obviously edit all of these and then once you've edited them you can save them as your own template. So just to come in to show you how you would go in and edit all of these like you might not need many of these. Let me just delete some of them. So if I just delete you'll see that those delete easily if you try to delete any slide where you've got a slide in your slide deck that is using that template. So here we've just added a slide using this particular template. If I try to delete this slide here and it's going to pop up and say one slide is currently using using this layout which layout would you like to use instead. So let me just change that to blank click on choose. So it's allowed me now to delete that template. And if I go back to my slide you'll see that it's replaced that with just a completely blank slide. If you had got text with formatting on it would try and copy that all over to the to the right place. So I'll just delete some of these other ones though. We've also got one with that in so I'm just going to delete that as well. And in fact I'm going to delete all of these. I'll leave that one because we've got one like that. You can change the title though. So you could change the title of what each of these slide types are like. And you may want to have slides with different colored backgrounds for example. So let's just say we're going to use something that's completely plain but we want to have a couple of options in terms of the background. So here maybe I want to have one that is a blue background. Then you can just come over here and exactly the same as you can do with the main slides. Note down here that we are editing a slide layout. You'll see this little blue banner at the bottom which sort of shows you that you are editing a layout. So I can come over here and just change the color fill. Change that to let's just say blue. Let's make it nice and easy and clear. And then I could just come in here and add a new slide. Whoops if I just duplicate this one. And then we'll change this one to red. Just make it nice and bold and clear what we're doing. So then we've got a red slide. And then you can add in like text overlays and things like that. So if I add in the text here. You can add in places where you want to have these in the slide as a template. And I can make all the adjustments to the text using the text edit functions here. So in here you can change things like the font, the size. You've got things like shadow. We'll look at this in a little bit more detail in a moment. But one thing you're going to do is if you're creating master slides, any text that I put on here is as a default, it's just going to be text that will appear sort of embedded in the background of your slides. So what you need to do is if you want this to be editable so that you can basically, you know, you're creating a master where you want to just be able to have it show up and then you can adjust it on a slide by slide basis. So like if this was going to be our main heading, for example, and then maybe this one down here was going to be bullet points like that. Then you want to just come down to where it says style down at the bottom here define as text placeholder. So that is then going to mean that every slide that that shows up in that will actually be a placeholder text. And what I mean by that is if I click on done and I click on add new slide and I'll choose this red one, you can see that that now is editable. So we can add in whatever heading is. So that's how you go about sort of creating those placeholders and creating the templates. Obviously, this is a bit garish, but let's take it. In fact, let me just change that just that it's not quite so intrusive. I'll come in and change that to I'll change it to a darker blue just so that it differentiates it from the background, but it is a bit clearer and not quite so bright and in our face. So I've edited the slide layout master and you'll see that that has updated those two slides that we're using that particular slide. Slide template. Okay, so if I just get rid of this one, just say it's not quite so bright. Let's talk then about actually how to add things to the slides and how to build things up and sort of format them as well. So I am just starting effectively with something completely blank rather than those placeholders. So the different things that you can add in are basically all going to be up here. So you can add in tables, charts, text, shape or media and we'll come on to that in a moment. So let's start with text. That's the simplest one. Click on that, you'll see it's just going to add in some text with the default font. You can change the text in a number of ways. Hold down command shift and plus and minus is going to actually increase the size of the font slightly. So if you ever want to just make sort of slight changes that can be used to sort of resize things up and down. You've got formatting over here as you've added a text element into the screen. You'll see over here that we've switched over to the text section. So you can change things like the font here of course and then you can change the size. Let's just make that nice and big so that we can see. There we go. Text color, all standard sort of paragraph formatting. I don't think I need to go through all these but left, justified, right, justified, centered and so on. The position is in the text box. That's worth mentioning probably. So if you have got a text box of a certain size and then you are typing something in here then you can change the way that that is basically sort of structured. So there it is aligned to the center. If I was to align to the top then as I type you should see that it will sort of drop down. Can you see how the top is staying the same now and the text is sort of coming down from the top? Whereas if that was aligned to the bottom like that then it would be the opposite as I type. You see it's building up from the bottom. So that's just the alignment. That's more of an issue when you are like this. I'm adding the text in so maybe I've got my title at the top and then maybe I want to just hold down the option key to drag. That's an easy way to duplicate and if this was my sort of body text like this then I don't want it sort of going up over the thing above it. So in that case I would make sure this was aligned to the top like that and then as I type it's just going to drop down below it. So that's where you might want to use something like that. So that's the sort of formatting that you've got there. You can change things like the spacing. So line spacing here, whether you want it to double spaced you can see what that's doing or just do it yourself. So one and a half times, one point one times and so on. Change the paragraph and all that kind of thing. Bullets, if you are going to have bullet points coming on screen you can choose the type of bullets you want. You can choose the indent of the bullet. You can choose the indent of the text. Let me just align this to the other side. It might make it a bit easier to see what's going on there. So yeah, you're adjusting there the indent of the bullet whereas if I adjust this one I'm adjusting the indent of the text relative to the bullet. Maybe that's because of the size of it. Let me just try this. Oh, there it is. Yeah, it's just because the text is so big. It seems to have an exceptionally large amount. There you go, you can see what's happening there. It's the spacing between the bullet and the text. And then you can change the format of the bullets and all of that kind of thing. I won't go through all of those. Hopefully that should be obvious just where to find that size of bullet and all that kind of stuff. There's also some other formatting from a text perspective though. So there's this little cog icon here. So if you want to add things like drop shadows you just move this over so you can see. If you want to add things like character spacing so that's the spacing between the actual letters. The baseline, that's whether it's more sort of superscript or subscript. And then there's the baseline there. You can just set either superscript or subscript. Capitalization, so whether you want everything all caps, small caps, just title case, i.e. the first character of every word is title is in capitals. So that is where you can change those. Ligatures, the way that the things are joined up. Outline and shadow, so you can add an outline. You can see what that's done if I just increase the size. That is an outline of the actual text itself. Maybe make that just red so you can see it better. That's putting a text around the individual characters themselves. Shadow is going to be a drop shadow on the text. So if I just increase the offset a little bit it should make it more pronounced and we can change the sort of blur on it so you can see what that's doing, dropping some shadow behind there and then you can change the angle of the shadow. That should be obvious what's happening there if you look at the text on screen. And then text background so you can add a specific background to the text. Now in terms of the borders, we've added border to the characters themselves but I'll just take that off for the moment but ridiculous for a start. There you can see that background that I put on. Let me just take that off as well. Text background. So I'm just going to put none. You have to add the background but you can see what it's doing is just putting a background behind the actual text itself. So I'll come down here and I'll change that to this one i.e. no background. That's got rid of that. But there is also formatting of the actual box itself, of the text box. There you're changing the style of the actual text itself but the element on screen which is the text box there we need to just come into this style tab and here you've got the fill. So if I put a color fill now, you'll see that it's actually the whole box that's changed there and then that you can add a border. So that's the differentiation there between the actual background and formatting of the text itself versus the text element. Hopefully that's all obvious. So the same as we added a drop shadow to the text itself, here you can add a drop shadow just to the entire box and make all the different changes to formatting, things like that. One thing that might catch you out sometimes, it still catches me out all the time, is when you're editing colors. So for example, here we've got, if I just go back to this, here we've got a color fill for the actual box of this blue. Then down here we've got the line of the border. Let's just change that to something garish and obvious, pink. There we go. So we've got a pink border now. And then we've obviously got the text which I've just mentioned. You can change the text in the text settings here. So that is down here where it says text color. So here we might have whatever color text we've got. So when you are wanting to change the color of something, it's important to note this little color wheel here. And here you can see it sort of grayed out. If I want to edit the color, you can come in here and just pick one of these more or less primary colors, the main colors. But if you want to pick a specific color, then you need to click on this color wheel. And when you do that, it's going to open up the color picker here. Let me just change to this one. It's going to open up your standard Mac color picker. By the way, a lot of people don't use the Mac color picker as much. You might be familiar with seeing this. You've perhaps seen this bit down at the bottom here where you can just basically, you know, any color that I pick, I can just drag and drop it onto one of these slots. And then I'm going to be able to easily get to that to remember it again. But a far more useful way to use this is if you've got different things that you're doing, you might want to create a specific palette for whatever it is that you're doing. So I've got in here as well as this one, the sort of whatever you call this rainbow wheel. You've also got this one where you can adjust colors based on the red, green and blue. You can change it to CMYK or grayscale if you want to adjust things like that. Then over here, you've got these different palettes that you can create. But in this one here, this one in the middle, here is where you can actually create an entirely new, whoopsie daisy, let me come into these three little dots, create a new sort of collection if you like. So here it says, if we've just created a new one, it says unnamed and then I can rename that. So let me just call this keynote demo like that. And then now we've basically got this area, I can basically add in whatever colors I want. So if I take the color picker, for example, and let's say that this blue here is one that I want to add, I can just add this into this area. So now we've captured that blue. Maybe I want to pick something out of somewhere else. I'll just grab something else off my screen. And drag that in. And now we've created a selection of colors. You can obviously also put it in your sort of brand colors as well. So you can click in any one of these, and then you can basically change these to be whatever your colors are. But what that means is that in this section, I now have here in this dropdown a whole series of different palettes that I use for different things depending on what I'm working on. And so like this one, for example, has got some standard colors that I'm using here. I've got the, as it happens, the e-cam colors are all in here as well. So that's the e-cam color palette. And so it's a great way to just contain the selections. And what it means is that anytime you're in any specific app and you open up the color picker, you can have all of your brand colors to hand to do that. So in fact, let's just make this more e-cam branded, shall we? But this is a slight digression. The point was when you are selecting the text color, for example, you want to make sure that if you are selecting the color of the text itself, if that's what you want to change, then make sure that you have got this little wheel here highlighted. So then I could change this to the sort of e-cam orange, for example. The background of this text box, though, if I want to change that, you see here how the color fill is not currently highlighted. Neither is the border. And so if I was to come in here and just pick another color, it's not actually going to change what I think it's going to change. It's going to change the color of the text. Because even though the text is not currently shown, we're not in that little sub-palette there, it's still the thing that is actively selected. It still catches me out all the time. So you just need to make sure that you come over here, click on that one. So now we're adjusting the color fill. And then I could put in the e-cam blue in the background. And then if I come down to want to change the border, you just need to make sure that one is selected. And now I can change the border. So that's how you basically need to do that. That, again, looks rather terrible. So let me say I want to come edit the text color. So I'll just make the text white. Make sure we've got it selected over here. And then I will just change that to white. You can change. As you can see that I've done that. I just got a particular word selected, and it's changed just that word. So if you don't want to do that, just make sure you haven't got your cursor in the text. Do you see how I made that look like it was intentional? It was an accident. But then you can come in here and just change the color again. So in fact, it's actually because we've got multiple things in there. Not let me do that. OK. So now I can come and change this to white. Oops. It's not like to me do that again. Because I've got just one thing selected in there. So that is the sort of editing of the text. I think I've pretty much exhausted all the things you can edit with text. But you're just just a case of having a sort of play around in that. There is different more layout things in terms of paragraph layouts. I won't go through that if you want to sort of organize things in columns and inserts and all of that kind of stuff that is all in there. Now the arrange is going to be looking at how you are arranging this in the screen. So here is where you can adjust things like the size and the height. So I just obviously dropped this text on. I sort of moved it around the screen, made it bigger, made it smaller, you know, all that kind of stuff just by dragging. But you can be really quite precise with it. So if you want this to be a specific size, width and height, for example, and the position, you can do that there. You can also add a rotation. So if you want to rotate this at all, you can do that. Obviously you probably wouldn't be doing that with text, but it applies to text as it does with all the other layers as well. That thing of the order that things appear on the screen, you can right click to send things to the back, and you can obviously do it over here in the object tool. But also you can do that from the arrange section. So if you want to move something to the back, right to the back, you can do that. Move it right to the front, you can do that. Or if you just want to move it backwards by one step or forwards one step, you can do that as well. Aligning, so that's going to be aligning the things on the screen. So you can align multiple different things on the screen. In fact, an easy way to do that is if you come into the arrange menu up in the top, you've got all those same tools here. So send backwards and send forwards. But if I actually just select two things on the screen at the same time, and then come to the align, you'll see that if I align left, it's basically going to align those two elements on screen like that. And then you can also do that from the arrange menu. You can also distribute objects. So maybe that's easier to come to a little bit later. If I start talking about some shapes, because that might make a lot of some of this stuff make a lot more sense. I'm actually just going to get rid of this text for the time being, so I'm just going to delete it. And let's have a look at some of the shapes. In fact, before I do that, let me just have a quick check in with the chat and see any specific questions. So, well, I see the questions I will be covering later. So Marty, a couple of questions from you. The font size that you've got, do you have a recommendation of the type and size of fonts that were best for you using when using slides on Google Meet? I don't necessarily have a specific size because it does depend on the font. The font sizes will be slightly different. But in terms of, like, if I was going to add some bullet points onto my screen in the same way that I did with those presentations, then, whoops, let me just do that. Incidentally, that is the command shift. And then the comma and period is to zoom in and out. So if you want to zoom in and out of the slide, you can do that. But if I think of the sort of presentation styles that I do where I'm bringing stuff onto the screen a bit like I did in Ecam Advanced, the title, let me just come back to here. And again, it does depend on the actual, it does depend on the type face that you're using. But that might be more like 150. So for like a large title on screen, and then bullet points if this was sort of a bullet. And I'll talk about layouts a little bit later on as well. So maybe that would be more like 80, something like that. Because I mean, you can see that even that, it's probably depending on what you're looking at this on right now. But yeah, depending on the device that you're looking on, even that on a phone, if somebody's looking at it on a phone as a full screen presentation or even watching a zoom thing on a screen, they will still be able to read that. And I suppose that's actually another point here is I'm not really talking so much about the presentation itself here. We're just looking at the functionality of Keynote. I would say that whenever you are giving presentations that you should be the focus rather than the content. I'm still seeing so often people doing presentations where they've got a whole paragraph of stuff up on the screen. And there are rare occasions where that is applicable. If there's some specific thing that you want to have up like a quote or something that requires it to have the entire text on there. But in general, the text that you have on your screen, whether you're using this for immersive presentations like in ECAM, into Zoom and Teams and things like that, or whether you are just giving a presentation on a stage, the bullet point should really just accentuate and sort of highlight the points that you are making. And also they should be introduced onto the screen at least after you have made the point. So another common mistake is people pull up a slide and it's got five bullets on it already, or five points or whatever it is that you're talking about. And then they go on to start working their way through them. But what that does is it actually causes a distraction because people who are watching are going to be looking at what's coming up. They're going to be reading that. And either you're going to have long bullets, which you shouldn't really, and then they're trying to read those. Or it's going to have like these one-word highlight or three-word highlight bullet points that then they're already reading ahead. So this should all be sort of introduced onto the screen as you're talking about it, so that it does just sort of highlight that point. And there is a, you know, I know that the School of Thought that presentations shouldn't have words in it, as in shouldn't have text on screen. It should just have, you know, images or things like that to sort of represent what you're talking about. I kind of disagree with that School of Thought because there's certain points where you actually want the thing that you've said to be, you know, sort of remind people of it on the screen so that it does sort of help to, you know, burn it into their consciousness, should we say, if we want to have a better word. And then obviously there's some things where you're demonstrating diagrams and whatever, where obviously you need things on the screen for that as well. So yeah, but in terms of the font sizes then, I digress to get back to your point, Marty. That one is that I've got there. Let me come back to my screen. Wrong scene. There we go. You don't want to see that one. He's changed to this one. There you go. So that is kind of 80 point for that one in Helvetica. And then that title there is 150. And that's kind of like about what I would tend to have. Actually, that's probably a little bit big. So maybe that one's more like 100 just in terms of being able to fit a title on that's more than just title. So yeah, I don't really have a sort of fixed size that I use because as I say, it depends on the font I'm using. And then also it depends on what I need to get onto the screen. Sometimes I may need to squeeze it. That certainly is about a good size for people reading it on screen. I think that's probably a long way to answer that. But hopefully that does answer the question. So let me carry on now. And yeah, let's have a look at some shapes then as well. I'll just delete this text from here. Let's have a look at some shapes. You do have up at the top here chart. I'll sort of gloss over charts and tables. Hopefully that's self-explanatory. I'll just quickly show you though. You can add charts in here. You've got various different styles of charts that you can use. And then as soon as you drop one in, you can edit things in here. So the chart table, you've got the header and footer rows. So that's this row at the top. And then the columns, you can change how many columns you've got. So you can see how I'm just editing that there. And you can drop text in, choose the sort of formatting and all of that kind of stuff down here as well. So basically all the different sort of formatting options that you've got for text you've got here. And then it's just got these extra things, specific to the table, the cells, formatting of cells, border styles, all of that kind of stuff, the same as you would have in Excel, for example. So yeah, I won't spend too much time on tables. I am a data geek, but it's probably not appropriate to go into it too much here today. Same with the charts. You've got various different types of charts that you can add in. And again, you'll have some specific things here that you can add in related to charts in terms of the axes, the series, the labels and all that kind of stuff. And various different things that you can add in there. So I won't go into that too much because I think we could go down a big rabbit hole with that. So the next main one though, and the one that I use a lot, is shapes. And I use shapes for accentuating things on the screen. But also for some of those animation, animated graphics that I used where things seem to be sort of sliding in from the left and right of the screen. Then those were all created with different shapes. So that is going to be up here. The shape menu, when you click on that, you're going to see some basic shapes here. So square, circle, and triangle, and arrow. But you have actually got a whole load of them down here. And they are organized on the left-hand side into different sort of groupings. But as well as just general shapes, you'll see that there are all kinds of little icons, avatars, that kind of thing down here. Avatar isn't the right word. Little icons that you can use. So yeah, some of those are going to be more useful than others. By the way, some of these ones here with these different symbols, I mentioned about creating icon packs for Stream Deck. This is a great way to create little graphics and things. And so you might even find that there are some sort of already made little icons here, or pictograms, that you can drop into your square slide to export to become a Stream Deck button. So yeah, there's lots of different ones in here. If you do add one in, I'll just start with a basic one, so we'll add a square. Then I mentioned before that you've got the basic ways to edit this over here. So we can still add text to shapes, by the way. So if you do add a shape in, you can always add the text to it as well. But then in this one, arrange, this is where you're going to select things like the size and the position. So you can be very, look at that, 666. That's where it landed on. But you can change that to whatever you want. So this is coordinates from left and right. So X coordinate is how much, how far it is from the left-hand side. Y coordinate is how far down it is from the top. And that's always going to be for the upper left corner, basically, so relative to that. So it's showing you the position of that spot there relative to the top corner. So you can change the size here. You can obviously change the size to be whatever you want. At the moment, the proportions are not constrained. So if I make that, say, 1,000 or 100, you can see how now that's a rectangle, but I can still come in here and just change it any way that I want. If you want to lock something, so that it's the same sort of proportions, you can just come to this one here, constrain proportions. So again, we're in the format, arrange, and then just down here, constrain proportions. So if I do that, then as I just drag this, the only way I can do it is it's going to keep it exactly the same sort of shape as it was before. So that's quite useful sometimes if I'm creating little diagrams or things like that on screen, and I want to have these little elements that are always going to stay the same size. You can do it that way. Lots of different shapes, though, as I've said. So if I come in here and just drag some other shapes in here, I'll add a little circle. It's going to default to this blue color, but I can come into the style and then change that. So let me just change that to red so it goes out a little bit more. I will make this like this color. And then let's just add a couple more as well. Triangles. The triangle one, you may want to sort of flip the orientation of it. So again, in the arrange tab, you do have some more tools there, as well as the size and position, and you've already seen the rotate that we did before. There is this, these two options here to flip. So if you want to flip it horizontally, you can see what that's doing. There's also flip vertically. So now you can see what effect that is having. There are times when you may want to, want to sort of combine shapes or actually create your own shape out of these. So let's just do something a bit stupid. If I just, I'm going to unlock that one. Let's make a little house, shall we? Why not? So I'm going to rotate this one like that. So I'm going to make myself a little silly little house. I swear that my graphic design skills are better than this, but I'm just going to do this on the fly. There we go. Let's say that I want to actually make that shape now. I'm happy with that as my house, and I want to join those together. You can actually combine different shapes and you can subtract them as well. We'll look at all of those. So if I come up into the format, I'm sorry, into the, I'm not looking now. I've just lost it for a moment. I'm going to minute. There we go. So in the, it is in the format and then in shapes and lines, you've got these four options down here. So unite shapes, intersect, subtract or exclude. So when you unite shapes, you're basically joining them together. So if I click on unite shape, you can see that now that's now just become one single shape and then I can resize it. And I want to just resize this like that. And you can see that because I can strain proportions, I can resize it anyway. But it is all acting as one shape and they were two different colors before, but now they're one color because they are just effectively acting as one single shape. You can also subtract shapes. So let's say I want to put a little square window in it. And that's now behind, but I want to actually bring that to the front because I want to take it away from what's behind. So I'm going to bring that to the front and let's put a little small window there. So now if I click this one and I'm going to highlight the one behind and then I'll go to format, shapes and lines and then this time I'm going to subtract shapes. So that's now subtracted that little red round triangle, round triangle. That's now subtracted that red circle from that shape. So you can see that there's actually a hole in it. You can see through to what's behind. Maybe I should zoom in a little bit more. The other one you can do is if I go to shape and I'll add another shape in here he's going to start looking ridiculous now but I'll just change the style of that so you can see this shape now. You can also if I go to format, shapes and lines I need to select at least two format, shapes and lines. You've also got intersect shapes and what that's going to do is that's basically going to combine the two shapes where they are overlapping. So in fact the overlapping part here is just this little square isn't it? So if I click on here and go to intersect shapes you can see what's happening. It's basically just showing me the only part where they are left over overlapping. I should just point out Rich is saying that's looking great and as a former architect that's probably not an example of my best work I should have to say. I swear I've designed nicer houses than this before. Anyway, so yeah intersect is basically where the two join over so maybe a better example of that would be like if I get a shape like this I'll make that one yellow I'll make this one here red and now if I intersect those two it'll be a bit more obvious what it's doing. Format, shapes and lines intersect you can see it's basically just the bit of the two where they overlap. The opposite of that then is if you do format, shapes and lines and then you do exclude shapes that's now basically it's going to cut out the bit where they were overlapping. So with these I'm just laughing at your comment Michael I need to sort out a few I'll be honest there's a few design flaws with this particular house So that is the ways that you can actually basically modify shapes and create your own shapes you can also get a lot more detailed with it as well if you click on any shape and right click and then click on make editable basically then that's going to put a series of points all over the shape where you can really edit it so if I wanted to for example give it a nice tie style sloping roof I could bring this out here if I want to drag this in like that and then we've got this little node just there bring that out so maybe something like that and then if you want to add in new points if you're just dragging these it's going to sort of drag the edge so you'll notice anytime I hover over a line it pops a little line in at the midpoint just there and that is for basically moving the sort of bending the line if you like you can also always press the option key and add a new one in and you could also change whether it's a sharp point so a sharp point being like that you can see that's now completely straight or whether it is going to be a smooth point which is going to be more one that as you move it it's going to cause the thing to curve so actually with that you can make a lot of and design something a lot better than my little effort there you can also edit any of the existing shapes as well so if you go into the shapes menu and then if you for example want to go into something like this one of these others whatever it happens to be and then make it editable you can just click on any one of these random ones I don't know why I chose that one but there you go you can edit any of these as well so just click on here make editable and then you can change all of that however you want to if you have got a perfect shape just like this one you can also click save to my shapes not shaving anything save to my shapes like that and then when you do that if I just do it then when you got to shapes down at the bottom you'll see my shapes and you'll have a picture of it there you can see the last time that I actually demonstrated this I created a donut I don't know what my mind was on that day but anyway so that is how you add shapes and work with shapes in here I actually created a stream deck icon pack just for keynote because when you're doing all of these things and you're trying to create graphics then having to go up here to the menu here and the format and shape and all of these and click through all these it can be a little bit time consuming so what I did was what's the best way to show you this if I put this over onto this scene I'm going to change over to here and then I will change to my keynote keynote icon pack so here I've just got some basic shapes so if I press these buttons here up along the top it's going to automatically add in those different icons then these ones are basically center front, center back bring forward bring backwards then you've got here these are the ones that we just looked at so intersect shapes subtract shapes and those other ones and you can see the little graphics or shows what it's going to do these are the ones for sort of flipping horizontally and vertically and you've got the ones here for alignment so align everything to the top to the middle to the bottom distribute so I'll show you distribute in a moment actually but that's what those are for and then this one here is for grouping and then you can also lock different layers as well and then these are for play slideshow so that basically is how I control my keynote and it actually really speeds up the flow of doing all of this if I come back to, whoops wrong one that's a bit zoomed in on my fat head so if I use my stream deck to activate these then yeah it's a lot quicker to just be able to drop in a shape like that, drop in another shape I can join those together just by clicking a button on my stream deck now those are joined he says pressing the wrong button oh now why is that not working do you know what I think it might be my keyboard maestro playing up anyway you get the idea so it just sort of speeds up the sort of process I'll just come back to here and I'll drop a link into that you can get those from my store incidentally I have set this up so that it does work with keyboard maestro so that basically it will work by activating the menu items because the way keyboard you can do this by setting up a keyboard shortcut specifically for the align where it shapes and lines these ones you'll notice that there's no current keyboard shortcut associated with them so for stream deck to work you would need to assign a keyboard shortcut to it but the way that I do this is so that I'm not creating a whole load of keyboard shortcuts that are then taking up that space my list of keyboard shortcuts I use keyboard maestro to basically assign those actions to a particular button it's all explained in a video that I did about about this plug-in oh sorry this icon pack for stream deck and you can find that on the store along with it as well so you can check that out before before you if we get it if it was something you wanted but yeah it certainly just speeds up my workflow in terms of creating these things I'll just talk about something that I mentioned then which was distribute so if you've got different things on the screen like this or in fact let me just make them all the same size let's say I wanted to create a nice little layout with a series of boxes on it obviously I can try and line these up you will see that you get these little arrows on either side of it so when it's positioned in the center it sort of snaps into place so it's going to find the place where it is centered I can drag this one across as well and it will snap when it's at the same point so you can see the little the little arrows that appear on the screen to show that it is in the same same place but a quicker way to do it is if you have got all of these things especially with the stream back button is if you come into arrange align objects and you've got this one so center if I want to align them all to the top so now they're all the top they're still not spaced out equally though so then I can come to arrange distribute objects and then distribute horizontally and that is now just organized them so that's great if you're bringing text onto the screen and you want to make sure you've got all your things lined up then using those two tools the align tool and the distribute and then that is going to make sure that they are sort of all nicely spaced if you're not doing something where they're horizontal maybe you want something like that if I do arrange distribute so you can either do horizontally but you've also got this one evenly and you'll see what happens that's basically going to just arrange them from the from the far top right or far top left to the far bottom right it will just arrange them in that you know equally space them in both directions hopefully that that makes sense so there we've got a few different elements on the screen so let's have a chat about animations because that's something that obviously the thing that spurred this whole live stream on was the presentation I did on e-cam channel for e-cam advanced talking about bringing things in and out of the screen for you know immersive presentations and animations so that would be we've looked at all these sort of formatting options for different things over here we've looked at the arrange and so on so then the next inspector here is this one which is animate so if I click on that you've got various different ways that you can animate the elements that you've got on screen and there's three different types of animation there is either a build in which is the way that something appears on to the screen you've got the opposite of that which is build out which is how it exits the screen and then you've also got this one action which is something that's going to it's going to do in terms of animate itself whilst it is is already on the screen so it's probably easier to sort of display this no problem just notice the message no problem it's available on replay as well so you can still use the same link so a little bit through but yeah have to catch the replay so yeah for the animation purposes though if I come over to here let's just add a build in for this and here you've got a selection I'm not going to go through all of these but actually as you just go down them you can preview them so a fade in you can see what's happening this is the element on screen that we're looking at so fade and scale trace you can see it sort of traces the shape anvil falls down and little puff of dust and you got all these other ones so ones that I tend to use because you can go really overboard with this and I'll show you an example of that like if I do fireworks for example it will just appear on screen in a flash of fireworks flame there we go that's what's happening there flashes light bulbs lens flare I would say use animation sparingly some people go way too overboard with the animations and it's great to make a point you know about some things and highlight some things but if every single thing that you have coming on the screen is doing something like this yeah it's probably going to look a little bit too too much so I do tend to try and use the more subtle of the animations I think animations are good rather than just something suddenly appearing on screen because it does sort of highlight the fact that something's coming in and draws people's attention to it momentarily but I would tend to use things like this one fade and scale I tend to like that one just because it's sort of coming on it's quite subtle there's a little shine that goes across it as it comes up then there would be fly in if something's going to just move in from the other side white would be another one that I sometimes use depending on what it is and these are running quite slowly at the moment I'll show you how you can adjust the time in a second but yeah some of these other ones I tend not to use like these ones popping scale big that's the opposite that's quite useful something if you want something to appear big on the screen and drop down I do use that one but yeah some of these are the like twisty ones and all that kind of stuff not so much in fact let me come back to that fade and scale and so you can preview them by hitting the little preview button next to them if you want to actually select it though hit the actual text itself and now what you'll see is we've got some settings for that particular animation so here we've got the duration so it's set to two and a half seconds if I make it quicker and then I just preview you can see that's now a lot quicker the scale so these are going to these things that you can change these parameters you just have to go through the different animations and see what parameters you've got they are going to be slightly different for each one so this one because it has got this sort of scaling factor you can change that so we could change it to 14% and you'll see what happens there it's going to come from a much smaller size on the screen whereas if I start from the scale larger it's actually going to scale in as you'll see so you're adjusting here the sort of starting point of it shine was that little sort of shimmer that goes across the top of it so I can turn that off there it's got no shine on it and so that's that's the sort of adjustments but there will be different adjustments for different ones so you just have to go through and have a look at those one of them that you may notice if I just come to this one where it's flying this is a common thing that you might want to have is or let me say not that one hang on one second maybe it is I was looking for something else there move in yeah that one so this one you'll notice that there is this little bounce thing off I find it a bit annoying but if you watch when I preview it it sort of comes in and then there's a little sort of bounce to it so you can turn that one off preview again and it just comes straight in from the side so I tend to don't like I tend not to like those those sort of bouncing things I'll come and change it again and we will do the the flying in fact no come to this one set the one we had before we have an animation there let me just go and apply that to all of these others as well unfortunately you can't copy and paste an animation style to others but you can highlight multiple things at once here and then click on add effect and I'll just make those where was it fade and scale as well and we'll change that to the same sort of time like this so now basically we've got these four things that have all got an animation associated with them but as it is at the moment looking at this it's not immediately obvious where these are and in fact let me just come here and rename these I'm going to call this rectangle in fact let me change the colours of them to make it more obvious just for the purpose of this demonstration it will make it more clear so right you can see here we've got these three these four rectangles at the moment they're all called rectangle rounded so it's not helpful that they were the same name so I'm going to call them so it's obvious yellow green so you can change the names of these things this is another reason why I find this little inspector on the side useful because it means that you can make these things all very clear especially when you've got multiple shapes that are the same effectively the same name you want to change them to something different so here you'll see that I'm going to call them yellow, green, red and blue this will make more sense in a moment but you can't really see what is going on in terms of the order of the animation now if I play in a window and then this is the slideshow, title is just there automatically because there is no animation associated with it whereas if I click on the button now you see it's just basically animating these things in so you can see what's happening there and that's happening on click but you may want to automate more of this and actually have more adjustment over when these things come on the screen so in that case if you come back over to the animation window or inspector I should say and then click on this build order down at the bottom this is where you can actually organize what's happening in this animation so here you can see it's basically pulling in the name of the layer so that's why it's useful to be calling these giving them a reasonable name over here because when you come to do your animations you'll find that it's a lot clearer to be able to see the order that these things are happening in so the default is always going to be that so yeah the default is always going to be that these are going to happen on click i.e. when you click the mouse when you're playing the presentation or if you've got a sort of presentation remote like this to advanced slides then that's how these animations are going to advance you can sort of chain these together though so if you come down to the bottom here instead of having it on click you can hit here and say with build one and by the way you'll see these numbers down here one two three four those are the build numbers so each of these different animations is called a build it's either building in or building out or whatever so here one two three four so i've now selected the second one here and you can have it happen with build one so it's going to happen at the same time or you could have something happening after build one or two so i'm going to have that one happening after build two you'll notice as well that it's clear that these are sort of linked because they've now got they're sort of joined together almost whereas this one's still sitting out on its own so i've set these two to go together this one is going to go immediately after that one and then this one is going to go when i click the mouse so just to sort of show you how that looks then what that's doing is if i play this slideshow again i'm going to advance the slide once so you can see that those two come on at first then the green one comes automatically but the yellow one doesn't come until i actually hit the button for it to come on the screen like that so let me just come back out of that so that is the way that you can structure these things so if i go to build order you can also i'll just keep this over here so you can kind of see it at the same time we've looked at the build so if you go down to the screen you can also have them do things after they've come on the screen or whilst they are on the screen you can have them do things then as well so if i come over to the action you can add an effect and here you might want something to rotate so there you can add how much you want it to rotate by let's say let's leave it like that in fact rotate 45 degrees this one is in and out so there's something to just move from one position to another and it's going to go from that place to the other place in that certain amount of time or if you have this ease in and ease out it's going to sort of start to accelerate as it moves and then sort of slow down when it gets to the end maybe it's easier if i show you so this one has got ease in and ease out on so if you watch this shape when i do it you'll notice that it kind of like speeds up and then it slows down towards the end maybe i need to make this a bigger distance 270 so you can see this in more detail and maybe speed the time so i'm changing the time here it's kind of like increasing it it's probably more obvious on things that are moving in and out of the screen but if you turn this off then basically it's just going to start and just move at a constant speed see how that's just like a constant speed of rotation whereas this one is easing in and out so it just sort of smooths things out when you've got things coming onto the screen as well sometimes having that ease in and ease out is useful so it's something rather than just sort of appearing on screen and stopping abruptly it appears on screen and then sort of comes to a stop slowly so that's what that is essentially in case there is any confusion so i'm going to leave that you'll notice that as i've added this new animation this new action here maybe we might want that to happen immediately after this one you can just drag and drop it and that will just set it to after that build you can also add a delay in so if you want it to happen after that build there but you also want there to be a bit of an extra delay of let's say maybe two seconds so now if i play this slideshow what we've essentially added is i click the button once those two things will appear automatically it's going to wait for me to click and when i click the yellow one up here it's going to wait for two seconds and then the blue one is going to do whatever we'd set to that to rotate this is all ridiculous in terms of what this animation is doing but hopefully it's demonstrating the sort of process annoyingly the build order window disappears every time you start the slideshow so if you're trying this out and you come back out of the slideshow you do have to click this build order again to get it back up so we've looked at the build in and we've looked at the actions on screen let's now look at the build out and this is all the sort of theory i'll just notice mark your comment there can you show a finished item like ecam advanced and then identify the elements and how it was created i certainly will do that so this is all the kind of theory once i've finished this animation section i will bring up my ecam advanced one and you'll see what i was doing with that so then if i come back to the build out the build out then is effectively how things are going to move off the screen so let's just say we want to select all of those and we want them to then move off the screen if i click on build out up at the top here then add an effect and then all of the same things you've got there having things disappearing whichever way you want so let's just say that everything just moves out they've all got that little bounce thing in so that's that little effect that they've got at the start you can see how it's just automatically added those all into our build order you might want those things to all happen at the same time i'm just going to drag them up here select those three and i'm going to drag those on there so those are actually going to happen after that previous build let's say that we want them to all happen with the previous build we want to add a little bit of a delay in so there's actually a slight gap between each one going out and now let's play that so if i now play this we've got those two coming in the other one comes in automatically waits for a second when i click the button that one will come on it'll wait for a second and spin the blue one round and then when i click my mouse button again then they'll all go off one after another with that little delay in so you can create some really complex animations with this in fact i wonder if i've got i used to have an intro on my channel let me see if i can just open this up actually i used to have an intro on my youtube channel so at the start of every video it had this little take one tech animation i since dropped it because nobody's here to watch a stupid animation but i will just show you how that was made because i did do that in Keynote as well let me see if i've got that because this can show you the level of things that you can do in terms of the transitions so one second let me just bring this up maybe i'm not going to be able to find it of course i'm not when i'm just wanting to find it that probably is the one i'll get this up because this will show you the you know what you can do in terms of animations so i had this little thing here where is it i had this slide it's got all of these different elements here and actually we'll come on to groups as well i've not mentioned groups but within Keynote you can group things together and then if i look at the animation here and do build order you can see that this is doing a whole series of things so this is this animation it's also playing audio and then it's animating these groups and actually the way that this all looks when it runs together was like this so i had this thing spiraling in the background my little animation came on these are all just builds so it's all built in Keynote builds and then the thing would drop out so maybe if i just play that full screen and in fact this was on a transparent background so the this would fade to be able to see through to my image underneath it so that was how i created that was just as a as i say just as a an animation in Keynote that is a move spiraling round as i say just builds in little animations of moving things on screen in fact that's one that i didn't mention so maybe it's useful to just mention that as well if i come back to my other presentation here as well as transitions for sort of moving in and moving out for the build in and build out if you look at action when something is on screen you can also do a move and what that's going to do is you can see here's the starting position but we could move this up here you could also add another move move it down there add another one and sort of chain these together like that and move these things around you can also when it shows you the line of the position that these are moving to you can also drag the line to sort of change the shape of it and then i could change the shape like this you can hopefully see what i'm doing i'm basically adjusting the path that this thing is going to fly like that i could come to this one here adjust this path adjust this path here maybe add a little rotate in there as well now if i come to the build order we've got these different things here now if i just sort of chain these all together and do one after another and then i preview this you'll see how this is going to move on the screen in fact i need to actually move that all the way up here this is before the build out you can see how that is just basically doing all of those different things so that is how you can set up animations i mean this is all looking ridiculous but it's hopefully demonstrating the sort of capabilities you have in terms of what you can do with animations what you can do as well is at the moment we just got these four things together you might want to group shapes together one thing to note is if you apply an animation to a specific object and then you go and subsequently add it into a group of objects and a group by the way is as simple as this if i just add a new shape you got these little squares here you can see here those are just showing up as three different squares if i highlight all of those i can go to right click and then click on group and now they are a group i can size that group together and they are whoops do you know what i think my i think my power might have gone off let's see how long my my ups that's strange i think it's back on now never mind there we go ignore that so that is a group of shapes that applies to text and so on and so you can then apply the animations to a group as well so but you can't apply it to individual objects within the group so i can't come in here and apply to just that individual shape but what i can do is i can select all of those click on add an effect and then i could add a shape there so we can add that one in and that's just going to effectively appear in our build order and once again now you can see it is group again it is group appear and you can edit that as well so that is the sort of process of creating the animations now there is another really cool trick of keynote which is when you are transitioning from one thing to another now let me just come in here and i will i'm going to duplicate this slide so if i click on duplicate and i'm actually just going to come in here select all of these and then you'll notice that by the way as i select any one of these objects it also highlights in the build order for the animation it highlights wherever they are featuring in the build order so if you say right well actually i want to just remove all of the animations associated with this one i've clicked on it now they are all showing up in here so i can just hit delete and it is now is deleted all of the animations associated with that i'm just going to delete in this slide all of the animations associated with all of them so now there's no animations in there and i want to show you the slide transitions because this is a big part of how i was doing what i was doing in the echem advanced so if i now basically i've got this slide here and if i click out of all of the objects so now i'm just effectively editing the all looking at the slide settings and i'm going to go to the animation still but you've got this transition effect and this is transition between two slides so here we've got a slide like this and then we've got a blank slide then i go to add effect you've got various different transitions here that you can do so like blinds for example if i do preview you'll see what that is color palettes and do that weird effect cube so these are the transitions from basically one slide to the next incidentally this little video that i've got running down here with my course details and stuff like that that is nothing more than a series of key note slides with the little thumbnails for all of my courses and then i've got a transition which is which one is it now it's not page flip it's one of these transitions i can't remember now it's difficult where is it it's one of these ones way through it's not that one that's it yeah we go that grid effect there is basically going to go to the next slide so we've got let's call this slide one slide two like that if i preview that animation and which one was it grid yeah you can see what that's doing and you should see that that is very similar to what's going on right down there so to create that little thing somebody asked me in one of my videos how did i make that and that's what it is so i then i exported the slide show with a sort of fixed time and that's how those are all staying on there and just sort of rotating it's just a series of slides where i drop my thumbnail into each slide and then exported it as a video we'll come on to exporting in a moment as well but i digress so the effects then you've got all these different types of effect that you can do to transition between slides but the one that is really great and that i use all the time is this one called magic move and what that does is if you select that's that transition and by the way you can change the different things here so like the on click or whether you want it to happen automatically whether you want the slide to transition automatically after a certain time and ease in and out we'll come into that in a moment but what magic move does is if i now duplicate this slide again magic move basically looks for anything where you've got the same objects in the in one slide compared to another so you'll see here obviously i've got these four shapes here but i've also got those exact same four shapes in this slide so what you can do is you just move these things around on the screen to where you want them and this is this is actually really great for creating diagrams where you want to show like interactions between things i use this all the time aside from the animations which i'll show you in a moment just for when i'm wanting to show flow diagrams or like organization type things where you start with some points they move and shift and it adds something else onto the screen maybe i should demonstrate it before i try and explain it so if i click on preview you'll see that what's happening is it's because it's transitioning from this slide to this slide when you actually play that the magic move what it's doing is it's going to automatically move those things on the on the screen and then let's say let's say the point of this was you were talking about these three four elements that combine to make something else maybe that's this big thing here in the center like this and then maybe that is action sorry format something that different color and then you want to have this thing building in so we'll come to animate add an effect let's say we use our oops build in add an effect fade and scale incidentally incidentally one of the one of the ways that you can have something come in i talks in the build order about how you have things happening on click after the next after the previous build or you know with the previous build there is also another option which is after transition and that means when the slide transitions to the new slide so if i change this build for this big pink circle to after transition then if i play this what you'll see is when it plays it's going to do the magic move now to move those things out of the way and then it's automatically going to bring in that transition like that so that's another way that you can sort of speed up the process of actually moving things around on screen because rather than having to use that move command to basically move you know the red square down the yellow square up it just sort of simplifies it because you're basically just going to move these things wherever you want them on the screen so just to sort of highlight this slide you can also as well resize things so i could resize this on the screen move these ones over here something like this again all nonsense but you get the idea of what i'm trying to do just to demonstrate like this and so now if i play this all together play in window these are going to move the other ones going to pop in automatically and then when i do this and in fact the reason why that one reappeared is because i'd left the animation on that one so because it was animated here to come on screen and because it's also animated to come on screen here because i just duplicated the slide that's why it didn't actually move so what you'd need to do there is just click on the build order just delete that animation on that particular slide this is all really abstract at the moment i'll show you a real world example so that it's not just moving round shapes it's just demonstrating hopefully the power so there you go you can see how that's all worked let me actually pull up how i've how i use this then and these things that i was talking about creating these presentations in fact one more thing i'll talk about first before i do that if i come up to here the other type of element that you can add in screen so we've looked at tables briefly charts briefly text shapes you've also got this one here media and in media you can add in photos movies movie files things like that music images and so on but there's this one here live video and if you click on live video it's going to pull in a video camera that you've got connected to your computer now the wherever i am if i click on there if i go to the format here you can choose the you can change the sort of shape borders all that kind of stuff you can see it's got a little reflection down there at the bottom add borders and all of that kind of stuff you can add rounded corners in fact the rounded corners are actually in this section here live video so you can add a rounded corner the corner radius that's going to add a little rounded corner to that to that video feed and then the mask so you can change the size of it to be whatever circle and then you can also change the camera so at the moment it's just picking up my default camera hello which is this one my top down camera but if i click on this one you can add a video source and then from here you can choose the camera that you want so actually the one that i'd want would be this one which is my main camera and you can give it a name main cam so then you can click add incidentally it may not recognize absolutely every camera that you've got connected so one thing that Apple doesn't do is recognize or allow virtual cameras to be used in its apps so you can't use your e-cam live virtual camera to do a load of stuff in e-cam and then bring that into keynote similarly you can't use virtual cameras in quick time to create a recording in quick time using your camera virtual cam same with face time that's why you can't use your e-cam virtual cam in face time on the desktop the others that don't show up i mean this one now actually this is interesting because camo camera is a virtual camera so it's recognizing that one that's interesting same with detail i wonder why it doesn't recognize the e-cam virtual cam when it recognizes camo anyway i digress i don't know about that but it also doesn't recognize my i've got a canon eos 60e coming in over usb and it doesn't recognize that one either so it just doesn't show up in this list but you can if you've got something with a capture card it should just show up so anyway there we go i've got my main cam click on add and now i've got my camera coming into keynote so this is completely separate to what's going on in e-cam right now the one in the round circle that is just a live video feed coming into keynote whereas the one that you're seeing over on the left hand side of the screen right hand outside of the screen is obviously in e-cam so you can bring the video into keynote what that means is though you can actually add all of the same animation effects as you can add to things on screen like the shapes and so on you can add those animation effects here as well so that means that you might want to animate this thing on screen so if i click on add effect and let's say we move in or maybe fade in scale let's try that one there you go you see how it's got that effect on it we could add an action here to rotate so i could make myself rotate well let's just do 360 and a number of rotations so if i preview that if i want myself to rotate on screen again i'm not necessarily suggesting you do this in your business presentations but just to know that you do have these animation effects on and then you've got build out as well where you can add an effect it sort of move out so and that one's got this little bounce so it's done a weird little thing there but if i do the build order it's got those three different effects on it so if i was to play this particular slide click on the button i'm going to fade in click on the button again i'm going to rotate click on the button again i'm going to slide out i'm not sure why it's seen that slightly weird thing so that is just the fact that you can have live video in your scene so as i say all of this quite abstract at the moment but let's put that all together and in fact what i'll do is i'll open up the the presentation that i did for the e-cam advanced and i'll just get that one open because you'll see how i've sort of put this all together then that's all open up this other one okay right so here what i've got is you can see my my sort of slide deck if you like down here i'm just going to zoom out a little bit so i wanted to i did it i did it my countdown there was an animation on my countdown so i'm starting this and then the actual countdown part of it was sitting just down here that was done in e-cam but everything else for the main body of the presentation i was actually using the live camera feed into into keynote but then i was doing a screen share of the presentation in e-cam so although it had my camera in it it was actually coming in through the live video into keynote and then that was coming into e-cam so these are the sort of slides that i had so i had the magic move because this one here has got this this shape on it hopefully you can see that it's got this shape which is a little cut out of me or a little cut out for me i should say then it transitioned to this slide and actually that is the same shape but i just scaled it up so i'd scaled it from here and then in the second slide i'd scaled it up so it basically comes over there like that and that's what gave this little zooming effect maybe i should just demonstrate this rather than trying to explain what's happening you just undo all of that so if i click on play slide show play in window it's going to ask me to start my live video so do like that so this was my sort of countdown scene over on the that side and then i used the countdown as i say in e-cam but now when i skip to the next slide what you'll see is that the this sort of overlay here expands and so what the effect of it is that it looks like i'm getting bigger on screen i also scaled up my live feed of my video to watch what happens when i go to the next slide it had that effect of it zooming in it was actually just the thing moving sort of out to the outside the size of the the slide boundary so let me just end the slide show a second so you can see what i mean this this zooming effect was just created by that element there being made much bigger so that it was actually outside the bounds of the the slide also you'll see my live camera feed here is large whereas in this slide here it's much smaller i also wanted a sort of slight transparency over i wanted this slight blue transparency that sort of covered me up so i wasn't like it was more sort of the the color of the back of the the overlay so i just created this little triangle here and then when you go to the next slide you'll see that that triangle is just basically moved out of the way so layering up these different things let me just undo all those little changes i've just made i think that's got them all so watch again for that little triangle move if i click on playing window so you see how i'm sort of a blue haze over the top of me there whereas when i click the button that blue triangle is moving out across the screen out was that way the other thing is zooming in my cameras zooming in so that just that little intro transition i had people asking how i'd done that and that is how i'd done it and that's also how i've got obviously the camera to get bigger because in ecam itself you can't zoom cameras you can change the shape of them in one scene versus another and then just transition with a sort of fade between them but you can't do the animation of it okay so once it's gone to this particular scene here then i just basically automatically transition to this one which just gets rid of that that little that little overlay there so it goes to this scene and then this one i wanted to just have this little lower third with my name come on automatically so that one i used a basically just the animation transition i've already talked about and here we've just got a group which happens to be that background it's a let me just zoom in on that the group is basically just a little shape here with a blue background and a little orange strip down the side of it that's what that group is and that moves in from the side we then got my name which flies in and then the other thing that you can do is these all move in and you'll notice that that moves in automatically after the transition so after i had done the you know the countdown it automatically when i hit the button it transitioned to me being full screen it then transitioned to this screen this slide automatically and then the the little lower third there you see i mentioned before about this start after transition that then moved in automatically my name also came in after that had moved in and then i wanted it to stay on screen and then move out and have that all automated so with the fade out here i had it happen after build two so the fade out starts with build three but it happens after build two but i put a delay in of six seconds and what that meant was that all of this happened automatically but what the effect of it was if i preview the effect is this comes in my name appears and then it waits six seconds four three two one and then it just goes out automatically so that's how i did that particular part of it then the next slide was this one where i got all these different bullet points so this was the agenda that we were going to go through so again i've used the magic move here and the magic move looks like this and i've got all of these different shapes over here in fact probably it's better to start the other way around let me start with what i've got on the screen i've got basically this this orange shape here i've got this blue shape and i've got this white shape and if i just actually play this transition for you it should make a lot more sense if i play in window you'll see what happens so here we've got my name coming on automatically just down there it's going to wait six seconds and then when that goes off it will go when i hit the button it'll go to the next scene and you've got that little animation of things sliding out you'll also notice that my camera slid out as well a bit or slid over to the side to make room for it that's one of the reasons why i like this is because i want to have you know me front and center when i'm just talking but then when i've got bullet points to talk about you can have it so that you just kind of come into the side and you still stay like right in the center of the screen but then it looks a little bit weird that you've got you know potentially some some thing like right next to you and nothing on the other side so i like to be able to sort of me move out so i'm still in the center of the viewable space if that's making sense so we've had this animation of these things coming on and then i can just bring those bullet points in as i want to introduce them and now i'm just basically advancing that with you know as it happens a stream deck button to go to the next one but let's look at how that was achieved then so here we've got the shape as i want them to appear on screen and i always find that that's the best place to start is you actually create the thing that you want to have you know the way that you want it to look on the screen when everything is on and then what you do is you go back to the previous slide or duplicate it and go back to the previous slide and what you can see here is all of those elements so this this blue one here the orange one and the white one that's behind it they are all also in the previous slide but they're actually all out of the way here so i've got the white part is up here the orange part is over here and the blue part is over here and because i'm using magic move you now know from the previous example with all of these moving things over here that basically with magic move when you go to the next slide it's going to take those elements from wherever they are now and move them to wherever they are in the following slide and so these are just basically moving in from the side this one i just added a bit of an angle to it so that it's it sort of slides in like that and actually the reason i did that was because what i'm also doing you'll notice my camera position here is over here whereas in the next slide my camera's moved over so i literally just moved that camera over to the side and when i had these things all moving in just in a straight line it caused this weird effect where there was almost like a gap next to the camera and so that's why i did this slightly weird thing but in the end the effect looked alright is to have this white section here sort of rotating in it meant it was right next to the edge of the slide and then as it moved in it was moving at exactly the same rate as the camera not sure if that makes entire sense but if you watch the animation of it again hopefully it should make sense. I'll have to wait six seconds for this one to work there we go so then if i click now you'll see that the white thing just sort of has got a bit of a rotation to it but it meant it just kept up with the pace of the camera moving and that's why i did that so in terms of the animations on screen then the actual shapes in the background are happening using the magic move the things like this if i go to the the build order of the the logo so that's faded and scale automatically after transition and then all these different bullet points are basically a collection of day one is in a is a different thing to the so the day one two three four five six are a different element on screen to the actual titles here but you can see that i've just linked those together so that should all make sense now day one multiple cameras so day one happening on click multiple cameras the one after it you can see they're kind of joined together and that's happening with that build too so that's how i'm bringing those things on with the push of a stream deck button actually just coming to this slide that's a great place to bring up bill's question so in e-camber advanced slide four the bullet points were aligned trapezoidally how do you do that so that was with the alignment tool bill and i'll show you where that was in fact this was the thing that i showed on with these shapes as well so if you want to align these shapes and you've got them just wherever and this could apply to text boxes as well then just highlight all of the things and then go to arrange distribute objects you can either do them horizontally which is going to align them like horizontally you can also do arrange vertically distribute objects vertically and it'll do align the vertical alignment but you can also just do those two things at once by doing the arrange distribute objects evenly and it'll just do this combination of both of those things so that's that so in terms of just coming back to this animation i think that that pretty much covers the way that i did that and then so i i basically just duplicated this is kind of like my base slide if you like which has got these different elements all ready to come on screen and then there was some slight variations on this so you can see how i've got that one this was one where i bought up a chart again the elements that slide out are these i'm just positioning these in a different place each time and then these things i bring on with using animation so the magic move is basically what i'm using to just put in this background and then the on-screen animations are what i'm using to bring in the different elements so yes i think that that covers that that covers that same sort of thing in all these oh these titles by the way so i did a whole series of titles as well that is exactly the same thing so these are just animations on the screen so if i do the build order on here you can see these things sort of coming on the on the screen at the bottom and again i did that automatically so that when i click it it brings on that title so if i play this in the window yeah it's just going to bring this thing up from the bottom brings on these titles and then it should just go off again automatically after some certain amount of time having those things coming up though as well is useful to sort of accentuate incidentally you'll notice there if ever you are doing stuff in ecamm with where you're sharing your window or sharing a desktop whatever just make sure that you don't have your your mouse over the window you won't see the actual mouse pointer if you're sharing a specific window in ecamm but you can see it now because i'm sharing my screen but what will show up is this little bar at the top so you get this bar in in keynote and incidentally the way that this would work in ecamm is if i switch to a scene that's basically sharing just my keynote window then it would look like this let me just take that little ticker thing off the bottom as well so this is how it actually looks in ecamm now now what you're seeing is my camera coming through keynote and then screen sharing my keynote window but what i was mentioning is you don't see what you'll see is my mouse just a second as i'm sharing the screen but if i click into my keynote presentation you see that little bar at the top you don't really want that to come through into ecamm so just make sure that you haven't got your mouse over the presentation but then when you advance to the next slide this is kind of the effect of it so you can see now how this creates a sort of much more like immersive experience of giving presentations to anyone who didn't catch the actual ecamm advanced let me just come up to here i'll just sort of go through a couple of these just to show you what it looked like play in window sorry about this window you'll see what it looks like again so this was like the actual experience of doing this full screen into ecamm you can now see that transition and understand how that was made my name's going to pop out and then just in a moment it'll pop off and we'll bring in that thing from the slide like this and so yeah that is how this all sort of looks in terms of a final output i think i've screwed up my camera because i've got this little border down at the bottom because i moved it out of the way to demonstrate this but you get the idea so as a way of giving presentations this is a much more effective way in my opinion than using a slide deck and being sort of over to one side of the slides obviously if you've got massive slide decks already created then it's difficult to sort of go through and change all of those but if you are creating anything new and doing something like this i think gives a much more immersive experience of you know their focus more on you and the bullet points are really there just to sort of highlight and accentuate the points that you want to want to make so so rich is saying so if you interact with keynote presentation whilst you're sharing the window does the title appear so it's this thing here can you see that little if you move if you mouse over the window you get this little this little bar at the top because it's basically ecam is just sharing your entire keynote window which includes this this sort of bar that appears so as long as you don't mouse over it there's a keynote sorry there's a keynote plugin for stream deck so there is a sort of forward and next slide on there so you can just do it that way so that's why I do I control it with that you can also control it with a little clicker like this if you have got one of those to control your presentation that way incidentally if you are someone who uses speaker notes a lot with your presentations and you want to have speaker notes then those are still available even when you're playing keynote in a window and in fact you can see that up here if I just come over to here it's this one here that little two icons there is going to open up the speaker notes window one thing that will happen when you do that though is you need to make sure that in ecam you actually open that up first and then you make share specifically the keynote presentation rather than the whole of keynote because otherwise what will happen is if I open my speaker notes now ecam is trying to fit in the speaker notes as well and it's having like a weird effect because I'm moving around the speaker notes on the screen as well so you just need to go into ecam and for the overlay make sure you're just sharing specifically that the actual presentation window but what this means is you could in theory then if I just come back to my regular scene you could in theory have your speaker notes so you can see what slides are coming up just in case you're not sure what I'm talking about with speaker notes I will come over and share this where can I do this let me do it this way boom in on here that's sharing the right screen yeah so this is the speaker notes window so you can see your whole sort of slide show this is the actual slide show just for the top but I've got the whole slide show going down here and then if you add in any notes you know you can have those down there so you might end up having if you use a teleprompter you could have your ecam display going to the teleprompter and then just down below it you could have your speaker notes or you could have your notes going up to the teleprompter whichever works so well for you but then that yeah just so you can see what you are talking about so if I just and this is just where you can change the way that the slides are shown so it's going to show you the current slide as a default and then also a the next build so it's going to show you what the next thing coming up is so again if you're not really you know if you need that sort of prompting then the speaker notes can be a useful way to to do that I digress once again let me just change that oops turn this one off and close down the speaker notes so so Dale Sain does your desktop have a black background I couldn't get the keynote window perfectly fit into the e-cam scene and part of the desktop was revealed I tell you what that I think I know what that is so let's hope I do anyway I should do shouldn't I in the e-cam when you add in overlays let me come to my this one I think if I share this right I'm now sharing my e-cam window when you add in an overlay so I'll just go and just add in a screen share overlay and I'm going to share the keynote window this is so small I can't see it there is a keynote right so there it's showing my whole keynote window but actually the default behavior of a screen share in e-cam has actually got this little setting so if I come into e-cam settings now I'll drag this across here there is a setting in screen sharing yep which is this one add margin when sharing the desktop or when sharing and you can see how it's put that little margin around it and so what you're lightly getting is this even if you line it up to the top you're probably seeing something like that and no matter what you do you've always got that little shape there so if you come into those settings again and just turn that one off then you'll find that it doesn't have that margin and now that it doesn't have that margin sometimes there's issues with it like snapping because you'll see that it will snap to these little guidelines so you see there that little blue bounding box it will snap to that so just make sure that you go right to the right until it just sort of locks in place incidentally when you're moving objects around on the screen in e-cam as well if you hold down the shift it will lock it to either the horizontal or vertical axis so now if I'm holding down shift you see how even if I move the mouse left and right it's only moving in the vertical plane and I can do the opposite which is just move it right but now even though I'm moving my mouse up and down it's still only just locking it onto that plane so if ever you want to lock anything you've got it aligned upon one side and you just want to move it in the other direction hold down the shift key and it will sort of lock it in that respect so just make it and line it up to one corner make sure that it's perfectly lined up and locked in and then come and drag the bottom corner and it should just fill the screen so if you've got the things set right in terms of the turned off the border and you've aligned it perfectly to the top left when you drag it down to the bottom right it should perfectly fit because it's just a 9x16 slide the same as the as e-cam is 9x16 so that it should hopefully solve that deal but let me know if not but that is likely what I suspect it's happening is that thing with the border and incidentally I always turn that off just because I always prefer to just frame things in any case rather than having a border around them a little trick though just while we are talking about that in case you ask someone who does that if you want to share an app window and you've got that switched on well let me just I'll just share my stream deck I'm going to add another overlay and I'm going to share my stream deck where's it gone stream deck okay so I'm sharing my stream deck app I don't have the borders on as you can see because it's not got a border at the top but because this app will not physically fit into a 9x16 we've got those little edges there now you can obviously crop this so you can crop any overlay and so if I hold down the option key I can drag the corner to crop like that that's one way of doing it but there's also this this function in here called green screen now if you've got a green screen in your overlay as you might have in keynote or something like that in fact I should probably talk about green screens as well if you've got a green screen in your overlay then this will remove it but it also just as a kind of like little side function is even if your desktop isn't green it will remove the desktop from any time you're sharing an app so if I turn it on now you'll notice how it just makes the background of the desktop completely disappear even though I do have a sort of really very dark gray not quite black background so that's just a little thing that if you are ever sharing a particular app you can always do that as well and in fact if you have the border on let me just turn it back off again let's just say that you do have that function on because you do want to use it sometimes show border so now we've got the border at the top and the bottom again it would just get rid of that for you but one thing to note though is it will also get rid of anything green and so you may notice that if I come into this I don't know if I've got any green in this particular window but if there was any green in this window it would also get rid of that so it's not a great solution always but it can be useful sometimes so I'll just turn that one off again so I'm going down a bit of a rabbit hole with Ecum here but hopefully that helped let me know if it did or if it didn't so I'll just talk then briefly about since we are talking about green screen and I've talked here about how to use the camera feed into keynote here so let me just change this to another scene for a second I'll just come over to this one so here I'm using the live video in keynote and I mentioned that not all cameras would work with that so how would you do something like this if you didn't have a camera that was compatible or worked with keynote then what you could do is rather than do this you could quite simply if I just create a shape I'm going to create a shape here that is basically just a green square format let's just make it green and I'm going to move it so that it is basically just in front of where my camera is so now we've got this green shape here okay if I come to this one here I'm just going to put a green square and I'm going to move it down so it's in above where my camera is do this one here as well add it in here and then we'll leave it at that that sort of proves the point so now I've got a green screen so now if I go into my scene in Ecamm where I have got my screen share overlay and what I'll do is let me come back to that one this is going to look a bit weird for you for a second just while I sort this out I need to just change the setting of this for a second let me do this in demo mode then you can see what I'm actually doing that might be a useful thing to do wouldn't it what an idea okay so I've got this keynote scene this is actually a screen share scene so let me just instead of this let me just build a new scene I've got a new scene there I'm going to put my camera in first of all just in the background so let me just make my camera as a scene source not that one I like this one and I do talk to myself sometimes by the way as you can tell I'm going to add a screen share overlay and then I will make this one keynote where's it gone keynote and we'll make that green I'm going to completely cover this when I do the play in window this will all make a lot more sense and I'm going to turn on the green screen feature you can already see it's knocked out all of that green in the desktop so now if I play this slideshow in window remember that my keynote slide is now just green there's no camera coming into keynote for this but I'm getting exactly the same effect so now you are seeing my e-cam camera but I've just taken the green and locked out the area where I want everything to show up so we're getting the exact same effect the one thing that you won't get is you won't get my camera like moving over to the side so when I bring the things on from the side you get something like that so you might have to just move over or at least not have it come quite so far into the scene but that's all just done again no live video in keynote that's all just done with the camera in e-cam but then we're using the green screen so that the animations come onto the screen that way so I also use that sometimes I'll use this maybe if I show you another example of how you might want to do that is if I come back to my oops wrong one I'm going to end this slide show let's just come up and make something really quick in fact if I just what I'm going to do is I'm going to duplicate I'm not talking nonsense there with me I'll just create a completely new slide add a new slide like that so I have got a slide by the way that I created in my slide master called green screen better in mind as well in e-cam you've got the option of of using blue screen and green screen as well although in the screen share it's only green but you can use that sometimes if you're creating animations to come over the top of the screen but for now I've got green screen let me just create a shape like this and maybe we change the color of it to something a little bit darker like that and we could do our little magic move trick duplicate and on this one we'll move it off the screen then on this one let me just grab a couple of little bits of text I'm copying these because it's going to copy these little animations and we'll just call this a bullet one get the idea let's just do three there we go and then I'll just move these all over here and line them up slightly so the magic move is going to move that shape onto the screen and then when I click advance slide it's going to move the things move bring in the text and then if I just duplicate this one that's got the shape off to the side and hopefully we should have magic move on this check that animate add effect magic move so maybe just speed it up a little bit as well ok so if I go play this in slideshow I'll play that in window and I'll go back to that scene that I just created a moment ago which was where was it this one ok so now I've basically got if I stop doing my demo mode now basically I've got my my keynote is over the top of that and it's green so it is actually active in an overlay if I go to the next slide what's going to happen is the magic move is going to bring that shape out from the side pressing the button is going to bring on those items of text like that and then once I've finished if I click again it's going to go to the next slide which basically has got the magic move to move the square out because the bullets aren't on the next scene in any case it's just going to fade those out like that so that's another way that I use to actually bring bring things onto the screen when I'm not doing like a full presentation where it's all being done in keynote it's great for doing little animations like that so let me come back to this one again I have got the hex code I can't just remember it off hand I will I will drop it into the chat in fact I could probably find it actually I don't remember it off hand I usually remember hex codes but for some reason I can't remember that I'll find it's hex code for green screen here we go copy I'll just drop that into the chat what was that Jeff I've got a voice from the discord was it 808080 did you say 808080 is that for green screen is it that's the gray isn't it I think that's for here's the that's for the gray on the back wall I think here's the green screen one I mean it's not totally critical but yeah this one I think 00B140 there you go I think the 80 was for the gray that I've got on the back wall right okie dokie so in terms of the animations what I've been doing here as well this is kind of for live animations just let me take that down for a second Bill for live animations you can also export as well and I'm just conscious of time don't want to keep everyone too long you can also export any things that you create in in in keynote so let's have a look at how to do the exports because you could do things here as well that little thing here that I've got for example let me show you how to do this is probably a good example I'm going to take this I should probably be sharing what I'm doing shouldn't I really that might help I'm going to take this little section here so if I wanted to create a little animation of my lower third coming out then I could come down create a brand new slide I've just copied it from there add a start with a green slick screen slide actually and paste it in so now I've just got this little thing here let's say I want to export that as a basically a transparent video that I could use in keynote in the e-cam to make a little bit of lower third to use without having keynote open so what I would do here is I would change the slide background so I'll go to format current fill is going to be the default for that slide which is this green color but you can also change it to no fill so that's going to be transparent it's going to look black whilst you are working in it but just know that if you have got this set to no fill it's effectively transparent so I want to basically just export this slide with its animations and if we look what this animation is we know what that is now it's this thing that comes in it waits for six seconds and then it goes out again so what I want to do is I go to file export export to you can export to pdf if you have got a traditional presentation then you can export it to pdf and then you can actually just bring a pdf into ecam so then you can just sort of cycle through that way so if you've got any processor issues and you don't want to have ecam and keynote open at the same time you can do that as well you're not going to get any animations on there but that's a way to just get a presentation into keynote and it's kind of into ecam and it's embedded but you've also got these options here so pdf you can export to powerpoint if you want to do that but then you've got movie animated gif images so if you go to movie then you can see that you've got these options so playback self-playing obviously you're exporting it as a movie so you want it to play automatically you can select the slide so if I just find the slide in fact let me just come back out of that that was which where's this slide I've just created where did I create that there it is it's slide number four so file export I'll try that again export to movie and then we can go from slide number four to four so I just want to export that one go to next slide so if you had a long presentation you wanted to export as a whole movie you can do that with the automating even the mouse click so go to next build after a certain amount of time I'm not doing that so I just want it to it's just going to do it automatically anyway resolution so you can change the resolution I'm just going to put that to 1080p just because that's what I've got on here in fact actually now I tell a lie I am going to type it in here 1080 1920 by 1080 because there's one other thing that I want to do down here which is in the compression type I want to change that to Apple Pro Res 444 because that's the one that allows us to have a transparency and you'll notice that if I've got this set to H264 which is another common codec this export with transparent background is you just can't click it so you do need to make sure that is Apple Pro Res 444 now I can export with transparent background and now if I click on next I can just export that so let me just come here a second while I do that make sure it's going to find out where it's going to save that I'm just going to save it to my desktop for now there we go so that's now creating a little movie file of that now actually if you were creating lower thirds you wouldn't necessarily create like a whole screen and then have the lower third just at the bottom you could create a presentation in keynote bear in mind how I said you can change the size my fingers are all over the place today you could come into keynote and you could actually make the document change the size of the slide slice the slide size custom slide size and make it something a lot smaller maybe 300 pixels tall by 600 wide or whatever you want it to be so that's how I do it when I am using this to create little animated things like that I don't use the whole screen because what we've got now is if I come to this exported movie file and I'm going to open it up it should open up in quick time back to that where's that happening so now I've got basically this quick time file open so this is a movie file that we've just exported and when I hit the play button you'll see that it's basically got this this animation coming in and that is in fact a transparent background again it's showing up as black because it's just playing it in a movie but if I was to come back to my e-cam now I'll go to my e-cam main scene I'll share this with you so you can see what I'm doing and I'm going to take that movie and I'm just going to drop it into my overlays for this scene in fact I'll just have to unlock my scene first I'm just going to drag and drop it into my overlays window so I come over here and I want it to show in this case let me show in all scenes I'll just drop it in here there you go and you see immediately it's just come onto the screen so that's a way that you can make a lower third in Keynote export it as a movie file and then you can drop that movie file into into e-cam and then I could assign a stream deck button to it so that basically just when I press the stream deck button my lower third pops up just like that so yeah that is that's how to export as movie files you may want to export as images that should be pretty obvious as well how to do that if I come back pretty much the same as we've just done file export export as images and then you're going to have the same things there so the slides that you want to create whatever you export it's going to create a folder with slide 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on in it you do have an option to create an image for each stage of the build so if ever you wanted to do that you know have an image for each individual one so yeah you could do that I'm conscious of the time look at that that's automatically popping up I'm conscious of the time I am going to be doing a full master class hopefully this has been helpful in terms of giving you a good sort of overview of Keynote I've got a master class planned on Keynote though that's going to go into a bit more detail on all of these things and sort of break it down into sort of more manageable structure it's going to be available as part of my academy and I've got to just mention this because there's basically one week left of my launch pricing from my academy so the take one tech academy you'll see here we've got a series of beginners guides coming out and then master classes obviously I've got my e-cam zoom and roadcaster master class next one coming out is the stream deck master class and then you'll see here down in in July Keynote master class is on the cards for then so that is going to go into hopefully today's been really helpful in terms of just showing you the way around and how to use all these different functions and giving you a lot I'm sure many of you can just run with it now but the Keynote thing will go into more detail in terms of crafting presentations as well more detail on the ways to use some of these animations and specific animation techniques and things like that maybe some slightly more advanced stuff as well and obviously part of the thing about the courses and the feedback that I get is that people just like to have that structure there in terms of you know being able to go in and just look at a specific video on a specific topic rather than like today has been obviously a two hour plus live stream so it's going to be easy to sort of find that so that is all in the Keynote master class there's also other benefits to being a member of the academy so monthly workshops accelerators which are the cohort based programs and then also there is obviously one-to-one coaching and there's various different tiers associated with the academy as well so you can get access to various different things depending on which tier you're in and how what level of engagement you want from me and from others in the community so you can check all of those out at takeonetech.io academy like I say there is special launch pricing with up to 30% off all of the tiers and then there's also additional discounts if you have already done one of my courses and you should have received an email about that if you've already been done one of my courses because obviously this includes some of the courses that you may already have done so if you've already done them I don't want you feeling that you're paying twice so I'm offering basically an extra 25% discount and that applies to either the launch pricing or after that's finished in after March then you'll still get that 25% off to the pricing going forward as well and there's no time limit on that particular one because if you've done my course you've done my other courses and so yeah there's no expiry to that particular thing there yeah if there are any other questions then do let me know I will also just mention that obviously speaking of courses that if I just bring this up here we'll be on the stream show this week back over on the the Ecum channel I've just realised I've just covered up this scene I think I've just messed up this scene actually by adding something in where's it gone now where's it gone where am I now I've completely messed up a scene of mine I am going to be on the stream show with DJ Strick I see what I've done let me bring this up I am going to be on the stream show with DJ Strick this Sunday at 7pm eastern and why is that not working that's weird I won't let myself get squirreled by it anyway this Sunday 7pm eastern on the Ecum channel which is going to be all about course creation and I'll be talking about specifically about using Ecum to create courses there it is it's there I'm going to be talking specifically about using Ecum to create courses and also the general flow of creating a course as well so that's all going to be coming up as I say Sunday 7pm eastern time if you've got any questions about anything that's being covered today do feel free to leave them in the chat also consider joining the discord over at takeonetech.io family if you're not familiar with discord don't be afraid it's a really great place to have sort of structured and organized conversations and so yeah any questions you've got about keynote you can drop them in there as well well thanks all for for being here and I hope that you did find this useful I will leave a link to some other sort of presentation based videos over on the right hand side for anyone watching on the replay thanks so much to all of my channel members on YouTube you can join to be a member thanks also to all the people who have already signed up to the academy and I really look forward to doing some great things together with all of you have a great day everyone I'll see you next time
