Soooo frustrating at times to work with, but boy howdy, with the right high priced gear and plenty of crazy time to work on the presentation it can be awesome - just unbelievably awesome. I hope Keynote will eventually include Time Base corrections because the transitions and fades are among the best in the biz. ![]() The Quad X4 performed flawlessly, and I had the sections que'd up ready to go and had a black screen on the second monitor (the DVI Projector) and it all worked great much to my surprise, as I toggled the sound up and down via the keyboard. I eneded up shipping my Quad Quad out to Portland and playing the entire presentation (over 500 images) and about 45 minutes in total with the many sections. Then I tried in on my G5 2 Ghz machine with 8 gigs of Ram and still the same 3-5 slide lag compared to the audio score. I tried a Firewire 800 external dirve and still no soap. I built my entire production on my new Mac Quad Quad with 8 gigs of Ram and when I tried playing it on my G4 Mac Powerbook the show was between 3-7 slides behind the music score. One problem that is a major high-suckage, is that various machines have different audio codecs / chips depending on sound cards. I hear the music over and over in my head at night which does suck. Gradually I am putting the 4 sections together to a main score built in Toast but it takes a lot of time and patience to make even minor changes, running the whole program through to get it down right. Keynote is awesome in so many ways with the wealth of cool effects and transitions that I kept with it even though frustrating in so many other ways. A few good programs to consider in addition to Toast are MP3 Trimmer (to cut the delays between tracks) and Audacity for more control over the audio transitions. I used Roxio's Jam and Toast to create sound tracks then matched the slides and transitions to the soundtracks. I built the presentation in 4 sections, each section about 7-10 minutes long. I just gave a soud/synchronised keynote presentation in Portand to a large audience. Too many people disappointed.Any suggestions for me and my presentation? This aplication should be a free doownload beta version. I hope in Apple they will do something in a very near future. Keynote looks a pretty cool aplication but there is a level where many simple things are not possible to do. So, I have a beautiful interactive presentation to share with all my friends but muted. (Of course I did not forget to keep in the same folder the soundtrack, the presentation, the pictures, everyting together) And it did not work. I've tried everything: exporting it to iDVD, to iMovie (but the quality of the presentation is really lower in comparison to the original in Keynote.), exporting it as a ppt file to Neoffice to add the sound and re-exporting it to Keynote again. I can share the presentation with more people, included people who work with PC (if I export the presentation as an interactive presentation of Qt), but there is no audio. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.I have a keynote presentation with 35 slides, transitions, effects and a soundtrack made in garage band.
