Hi this is Gary with MacMost.com.
Let me show you how to use Transitions and Builds in Keynote.
So I'm using Keynote version 6.0 here.
Let's take a look at using Transitions between slides and also Builds for elements inside
of slides.
Let's first populate this simple presentations with some slides.
Now that we have some slides let's look at adding a transition between them.
If I were to play right now while I'm on slide one and I hit the space bar or click I just
go directly to the second slide.
So let's add a transition between these.
I'm going to select the first slide here and over on the right I'm going to go to Animate
and I'm going to add an effect.
It is always hard to remember this but these transitions happen after the slide so I want
to put it on the first slide if I want it to be a transition between slide one and slide
two.
Let's go to one.
We can preview these at the Preview button here to see what they look like.
I'm going to select something pretty simple like a Move In; actually let's do Push, even
better.
We'll select Push and now we get to change some things like duration or whether it goes
right to left or top to bottom.
Let's do top to bottom.
We can preview it like that.
We can say we want the transition to go On Click or Automatically.
Automatically means you go from slide one to slide two without doing anything.
So we don't necessarily want to do that.
So now that we have this in place we can hit Play and when I click we get the transition
from one to another.
The difference between Transitions and Builds are Builds happen with the elements on the
slide where Transitions happen between slides.
Let's go to the third slide where I have have three images.
When I select one of these, one object, and I still have Animate selected over here I
can do a Build In action or a Build Out.
For Build In let's say we want this thing to move in like that.
So we'll select that and then we will go to this object here and also set a Build In.
We'll do Move In but we will do right to left.
Then we will do the same thing for this one.
We could have done them at the same time; right to left.
So each one of these is going to take place in a certain order.
You see the Order number here, 1, 2, 3 right over there.
So when we preview the slide will start off with nothing because it is waiting for the
first action, the first click.
Then we get that.
The second click gives us that and the third click gives us that.
If you ever want to change the order of these we could simply change this to the second
one and it would swap them or we can hit Build Order here and it gives us actually these
three and we can drag and drop them.
So if I wanted to shift the order I could shift it like that or I could combine them.
So say if I wanted to do two and three together see how I put them together like that.
Now if I hit Play it will do that one and it will do those two together, I didn't have
to click a second time.
This is a pretty complex thing here.
Notice how I could have had these come in at the same time.
I've got this second image here, this one, see it is selected, moving in on click and
this one moving in after Build 2.
I go do it with Build 2.
So now get this one over here and these two come in together.
So there is a ton of stuff you can do with Build Order with moving these apart from each
other, changing how they start On Click, with or after.
There is a lot you can do there.
You can select each individual object and change things like Duration & Direction, whether
there is a Bounce in this case.
Different builds will have different options.
We can also do Builds Out for these.
When you are done looking at the slide, before it goes to the next one, these will disappear
in different ways and also their actions.
So I can do something like say if I want to add an effect like a jiggle to this, I've
just done that.
You look at the Build Order and I've got Move In, Move In, Move In, and a Jiggle.
So there is going to be four things that will happen on the screen.
So it could be useful if I'm giving a presentation where I say, Here is this photo, here is this
photo, here is this photo but here is something I want to point out in this one that makes
it different.
So these little actions are kind of inbetween things; Build In, Build Out, and inbetween
them you can do actions.
Of course you can rearrange these in lots of different ways and combine them.
So there is a ton of stuff you can do.
Now my last slide here has text.
It has a bullet list on it.
You can actually do some interesting things with text.
You can treat them as different elements like these three pictures here.
But you can also add say Build In for this text and do something like Sparkle and you
can see how this is going to build in across for entire text field.
But it doesn't have to be because for these you will see Delivery pop up here.
You can say All at Once, By Bullet, By Bullet Group if you have a list with a sublist in
it, or Highlight a Bullet.
Let's just do the simplest.
By Bullet from first to last and now when we play this each bullet item will come in
separately.
So I click once and it comes in there, click twice and it comes in there, etc.
Makes it really easy to do animation with a bunch of bullet items if you want to do
that without having to create separate elements for each one of these bullets.
