Hi, this is Gary with MacMost.com.
On today's episode let me show you how to record a Keynote presentation.
I'm using Keynote version 6.5.3 and I'm going to create a sample presentation just do a
standard presentation here, choose it, and I'm going to fill it with some slides.
I'm going to do that really quickly by basically bringing some slides from a Finder window.
Just some photos.
So I've got a bunch of photos and I'm going to drag that into Keynote to create a bunch
of quick slides.
This could be like a slideshow of your photos that you want to narrate and then upload to
You Tube or something.
So I've got all these photos here and I can play this as a presentation right now and
talk over it.
But the idea is that I want to do that without being present.
So I want to prerecord what I want to say and make that into a video.
I've added a sample title here and I'm going to now record the slide show.
This will bring up this recording screen here, the same as your presenter display when presenting.
So it depends upon your monitor setup what you're actually going to see here.
I've got the microphone input here.
I've some play and record buttons here.
I can bring up the navigator on the left if I want and I can start recording by hitting
this record button.
Now from the moment I start recording I'm going to, all the timings of everything I'm
doing is being recorded as well as my voice.
I'm going to use the arrow keys to advance to the next slide and it's going to record
the time which I did that.
So I'm going to do the next two slides very quickly like that.
I can go to the next slide and then back.
You don't have to do these in order.
I can just keep going all the way to the end and it will record my voice as well as the
timing of all of these.
If I want to stop I hit the red button again.
Now notice here I've got the timeline here and I can see all of the moments where there
is transition from one slide to the next.
So it took me awhile to go from the first slide to the second.
Here is where I really quickly went between those slides and this slide and then back.
So it recorded that as well.
Then the rest of these slides and the rest of what I have here.
So, if I'm all done here, this is the recording that I want, I can go and play it back here.
So that is my voice there in the recording.
I can then hit the X here.
I have now a recording saved for this presentation.
So now that I've got that recorded I can play it back.
I can play the slideshow normally.
That allows you to present it itself as you normally would.
But I can also do Play Recorded Slideshow and it would play it back with my audio and
the timings.
I have the ability to clear the recording if I want.
Of course I can now Export.
If I export as a video using Export to QuickTime I can now choose Playback Self-Playing or
Slideshow Recording.
Slideshow Recording is what I want.
That's going to export the audio and the timings and everything that I did as a video.
It will save it out so I'll export that.
It will create the movie with the audio.
Now once I've created that video say I don't want my voice in there.
Say I want to replace it with music because I only wanted the timings really.
I can bring it into iMovie.
I can split out the audio track or silence the audio track and then put in some music
and save it out.
Or I can use it as it and upload that video to You Tube or some other site.
So if I go into Documents I'll see there's that untitled video.
So there you go.
It is a straight video.
Actually the video itself is pretty small considering the length of it.
That is because, of course, there is not much changing from screen to screen since it is
a static image.
So some other things that you could do if you go to the Record Slideshow again.
You will see that the timings are all still there.
If I wanted to, if I see that I messed up at some point, I could go back to just before
that and can record and it will keep everything before it and then will replace all the audio
after it and all the timings after it.
This allows you to do a really long presentation in bits so you can start recording and do
a few slides.
Listen to it and make sure you've got it right, and then go to the end here and add on.
Since it is just adding on to the end it is not going to give me a warning there and I
can just keep adding on to the end.
This will shrink down and give me more room.
So you can do a long presentation in short bits making sure you get it all right before
you move on to the next section.
