Add a soundtrack to your entire slideshow. Open the Inspector and choose the Document inspector. You can add a track from your itunes library by dragging it into the Audio box. (Make sure you reference the artist in your credits page. If this is for an educational project you have a little more leeway with audio tracks). You can have your slideshow open automatically and loop. You can have the slideshow restart after it has been idle or require a password to exit it. You can also create a presentation in Normal mode (for every action you must click the mouse or press your right arrow), self-playing mode or hyperlink mode. 2. If you would like to make your slide show more lively you will use transitions and animations. Transitions take place as you move from one slide to another. Start with Slide 1. Click on the inspector and find the slide inspector. Choose one of the many transitions available. Select the duration(speed). Some transition choices allow you to choose the direction the transition will occur. Add transitions to the rest of your slides. When you are finished click back on Slide 1 and play your slide show again. L-S Workshop Summer 2008 Nancy Errico page 6

You can rearrange the order of the bullets, and you can even group your bullets with other elements like pictures, etc. by clicking on the more options button. Experiment with these features. 4. What about when there is text and a graphic??? Go to Slide 3 which should have some text and at least one image. Select the Build inspector. Decide what object you would like to animate first. I chose the title. Select the features you would like. I chose the bullets and picked some options and finally each of the images. There is an order in which these elements will appear. You have control over that order. Test out your new animation. 5. Making a table come to life. Select the table. Select the Build Inspector. Choose the animation and direction you desire.

Hyperlinks can direct you to a web page on the Internet or move you from one slide of your presentation to another. 8. Music- The easiest way to bring in music is using iTunes. However unless you have the artist’s permission you can not use the entire song. If you have music in your itunes library you can pick a 30 second selection of a song and use that in your keynote. Go to your itunes library. (For the purpose of this workshop I have prepared some music for the participants). Make sure your Itunes preferences has the Import feature to MP3. Select a track in your itunes library. Select File - Get Info. Click on the Options Tab. Create a start and stop time that covers a 30 second interval. Select Advanced and Convert Selection to MP3. Now you should see the same track but a shorter time. L-S Workshop Summer 2008 Nancy Errico page 8
