In this video I'm going to show you how to quickly record your Keynote slideshow with all of its
builds and animations and effects along with a webcam shot using just Quicktime Player for
the Mac and Keynote's Play Slideshow in Window feature. This is a quick and easy way to create
video presentations and lecture style learning videos, let's jump in. Alright I'm going to start
things off here in Keynote. I'm using Keynote version 10.3.9. Now you need Keynote version
10.1 or later in order to follow this tutorial. Okay so I've got my good old demo project here.
I'll quickly play it by going up to the top toolbar and selecting the Play button right here
and Keynote goes into full screen mode. I'll hit the forward arrow key to advance
through my slideshow and you can see there are various animations or builds.
Now in order for these animations or builds to play you have to be in playback mode in Keynote.
So I'll just hit escape to get out of playback mode
so I've got this slideshow and now I want to add my talking head or a video narration
to my slideshow using my webcam and to record the whole thing as a video that I can share. So to do
that I'm going to use Quicktime Player, but first I need to set up a few things.
So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go up to the top menu bar here in Keynote
and select Play - Play Slideshow in Window. This is the new feature that came out in Keynote 10.1
and is the key to the method I'm showing you. I'll select it and this window pops up
that contains my slideshow. Now with this window active when I hit the forward arrow key
you see my slideshow plays with all its animations. Now the beauty of this feature
is now I can play my Keynote slideshow with all of its effects and animations
and still have access to other applications on my mac like Zoom, OBS and Quicktime Player
as you'll see. Now if you want to close this playback window you just hit the Escape key
and you're back in the Keynote editing interface. I'm going to go back to the top menu
and select Play - Play Slideshow in Window to bring back my slideshow window. Now you can
change the size of this playback window by just clicking and dragging on the corners to resize it.
Now when I drag out my window to the boundaries of my screen here you'll see these black bars
appear on the sides. Now I've tried changing different settings and Keynote settings and the
slide settings but these bars continue to appear. Seems to be a quirk of the playback window. Now
it's not a huge problem you can just get rid of these bars by simply clicking and dragging
and then just center up the playback window on the screen. Alright with my Keynote slideshow
window ready to go I'm next going to set up my webcam shot and to do that I'm going to launch
Quicktime Player. Now there's a number of ways you can launch Quicktime Player
,you can use the Finder or you can use the Launchpad or you can use the keyboard shortcut
Command - Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search and then I'll start typing Quicktime and you
can see Quicktime Player appears. I'll hit Return and that launches Quicktime Player then I'm going
to go up to the top menu here in Quicktime Player and select File - New Movie Recording
and up pops my webcam feed. Now if you're not seeing your webcam make sure your webcam's
plugged in first and then also go down here to the Options setting of
the Quicktime movie player beside the record button here if you click this little arrow
you'll get some settings and under Camera make sure that your camera is selected. In my case it's
the Logitech Brio. Don't worry about Microphone because we're not going to be recording audio
through the Quicktime movie player. And down here in quality. I have it set to High.
High records a 720p HD video which is fine for my purposes. I don't need Maximum which gives me
a 1080p and a much bigger file size because I'm going to be squishing down my Quicktime window
into the corner of the screen. 720p or the High setting is fine, so I'll leave that there
and I'll click and drag the corner of my Quicktime movie window to shrink it all the way down
and then I'll click and drag it and place it just down here in the corner
of my slideshow or I could even place it over this way a bit but I'll just leave it right there.
Okay so a couple things about this Quicktime Player window that are important. One thing you
just saw. if I mouse over this window you'll see that the title bar of the movie window appears as
well as the controls which is not what you really want to have showing in your recording. So while
you're giving your presentation or delivering your slideshow make sure you avoid mousing over
this window and having this stuff appear. Another important thing when you're running your slideshow
here in this Keynote playback window, you have to make sure that the window is active in order to
use it. So if I click on this window to make it active watch what happens to my Quicktime movie
window. It disappears, that's not going to work. Well my Quicktime movie window did not disappear
it's actually sitting underneath of this Keynote playback window, so i'll just shrink that down and
there's my Quicktime movie window. So to prevent this from happening while you're making your
recording, with your Quicktime movie recording window open, go up to the Quicktime menu the top
and select View - Float on Top. Now your Quicktime movie window will stay on top of
this Keynote slideshow playback window, so even when it's active
my Keynote, rather my Quicktime movie window is still on top. Okay now I'm ready to record.
Now to record this arrangement I'm going to use Quicktime Player's screen recording application
Screenshot. So to bring up Screenshot I'm going to select my movie window to make Quicktime
Player active then I'll go up to the top menu here and select File - New Screen Recording
and up pops the Screenshot interface down here. Now looking at this interface I'm going
to make sure first of all that Record Entire Screen is selected because I want to record my
entire screen. Then I'm going to go over to the Options window here and I'm going to click that
and up comes the Options window and in Options at the top Save To I want to set that to Desktop.
Okay now I want to go back into options again so I have to go back down and click it to open it
up and I see the Timer is set to five seconds and that's fine i'll leave it there, you can select no
timer or 10 seconds. And then down here in the Microphone now this is very important because
this is the microphone that's going to record your voiceover
for the screen recording that's going to go with this entire video so you want to make
sure you select the microphone that you're going to use. So in my case that's the Rode NT-USB mini.
Then down here in the Options section I want to make sure Show Floating Thumbnail is selected
what this does is when I'm finished my recording a thumbnail of my recording will appear briefly
on screen for about five seconds then I can click and then I can review my recording or
do some editing as I'll show you later. Okay so with my settings all the way I want them,
go down to Options to click off of that and now I'm ready to record and I can do that either by
pressing this Record button down here on the Screenshot interface or I can just click on
the screen when I see this camera icon so I'll do that and I get my five second countdown right here
and then I'm recording and I know I'm recording because of this small little stop button icon
on the top menu bar. All right so now that I'm recording. Making sure my, first of all,
my Keynote slideshow playback window is active, very important, make sure this is active, so
click it make it active and I'm going to take my mouse off of it so I can lose the title and then
I'm going to just use my backward arrow to go back to the beginning of my presentation here and now
I'm ready to start my presentation slideshow so I'll just give myself a bit of a pause...
hey it's Mike and in this video I want to talk about the three phases
of video production. The first phase of video production is pre-production. This is when you're
doing your planning, you're writing a script or maybe an outline, you're gathering props or
researching locations. The third phase of video production is post-production. This is editing,
this is sound design, sound mixing. Perhaps you're doing graphics. This is where you're packaging
together your video project for delivery. And those are the three phases of production.
And I do a little pause and then I can stop my recording
by going up to the top menu bar and hitting that little stop button
and that pops up this thumbnail of my recording which I can select
to review and edit my recording. Now you have to move quickly
because the thumbnail stays on screen for only around five seconds. Now if you miss it
you can always find your recording in the save to location you selected in the screenshot options,
so I'm going to select this thumbnail and up pops the Quick Look interface.
So here in the Quick Look interface I can do a number of things. I can play back my recording
by hitting this Play button down here... because
of this small little stop button icon... and you can see the beginning of my recording... here
so now that I'm recording I'm just going to take my... pause button to stop that.
But more importantly you can actually do some editing in this Quick Look interface. I'm going
to go up to the top of the Quick Look interface and select this trimming button right here
and up pops the standard Apple trimming interface with this yellow selection
bar around the frames of your video. So what I'm going to do now is trim off the beginning
and the end of my recording where I'm preparing to record or stopping my
recording and I can do that by just clicking and dragging on the little handle here on this
yellow bounding box. So this will be trimming the beginning of my video. Right about there
looks good. Then I'm going to go down to the end to this right handle here click and drag that
right about there is good. Now I can play back my trimmed area by just going over here and hitting
this Play button or I can hit the Space Bar... hey it's Mike and in this video I want to talk about
the three phases of video production. The first phase of video production is pre-production...
that looks good. When I'm done my trimming I can just go up to the top of the interface here
and click the Done button and your trimmed video is saved to the Save to location that you
set in the Options for Screenshot. In my case it's the Desktop. Here's my final trimmed recording.
Hey it's Mike and in this video I want to talk about the three phases
of video production. The first phase of video production is pre-production. One
piece of advice with this technique, try to keep your screen recordings as short as possible.
Screenshot is recording to your Mac's internal drive so if you don't have a lot of space
there or if you're running a bunch of other applications while you're screen recording
you may run into some unexpected results. If you have a large presentation,
try breaking it into shorter sections and then take those shorter videos and stitch them together
using Quicktime Player. I have a tutorial on my channel that shows you how to edit video
using just Quicktime Player. Have a look. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
