Synchronized Keynote

 

Synchronized Keynote IS possible

 

But not very easy. Keynote is really well polished as far as live presentations are concerned. However, when you want to export to a QuickTime movie, things don’t line up as you’d expect. Keynote 3 (included with iLife ‘06) is a bit better, but if you want to synch a movie with builds (or a slideshow with music) it’s going to take making changes, exporting to QuickTime, viewing, making more changes, exporting to QuickTime, viewing, making more changes.... you get the idea.


Once you’re done, though, you’ll be happy with the results. This example movie uses the Candy theme from KeynoteUser and a clip from the Cartoon Network show Home Movies. I used bullet points to highlight certain parts of the vid AND I used a Flash-esque AGAIN button to initiate playing it again.
