Brian, I read your article about adding frames to the stroke menu and downloaded your partial list of 50 frames. However, I haven’t been able to successfully add the new list and have it show up in Keynote. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I did cut and paste, but it just doesn’t show up. Thanks for any help you can give.

Looks like your prognostication that Keynote has Leopard tie-ins seems to be on the mark. Here we are in June and still waiting for iLife 07. WWDC should be interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Very cool.

Jobs rivela Keynote 4? — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 22:10:34 +0000

[...] La prova provata ora arriva da un esperto, Brian Peat di Keynote User. In questo post analizza minuto per minuto le slide di Jobs, rivelando nuovi effetti che possono arrivare realmente da Keynote 4, o al massimo da qualche sforzo “manuale” dei grafici di Apple. Tra grafici animati, nuovi temi, movimenti su percorsi predefiniti. Sono veramente queste le nuove feature del software di presentazione piÃƒÂ¹ stiloso del mercato? [...]

By the way, what’s up with the Natural Birthing blog talking about Keynote? That’s just a bit too freaky for me.

[...] Molte persone hanno notato, al recente Keynote di Apple, l’utilizzo da parte di Jobs nella presentazione di alcuni effetti grafici mai visti prima e che con la versione attuale di Keynote (software che Steve utilizza per realizzare i Keynote, non per niente hanno lo stesso nome del programma ), la 3.0, non possono essere ottenuti. Ecco che, dunque, come al solito, puntuali e senza ritardo iniziano ad arrivare, questa volta dal sito Keynote User e accentuati e ripresi da Tuaw, i primi rumors al riguardo che suppongono che Jobs all’ultimo Keynote abbia utilizzato per la realizzazione di questo una versione beta del software sopra citato, che sarÃƒÂ poi la 4.0 che troveremo, si spera il piÃƒÂ¹ presto possibile, in iWork 07′. Dunque nuovi e, si presuppone, stupendi effetti grafici, nel futuro Keynote. Aspettiamo con ansia iWork 07′ e le future versioni di tutti gli altri programmi inclusi al suo interno, Pages e, chi lo sa, magari anche Charts….. [...]

[...] Para ello se basa en algunos de los diferentes efectos que se aprecian en el vÃƒÂdeo y que no estÃƒÂ¡n disponibles en la versiÃƒÂ³n actual. Examinando la lista es evidente que muchos de los puntos son algo cuestionables y que todos en general podrÃƒÂan explicarse mediante el uso de simples vÃƒÂdeos realizados, por ejemplo, en Motion 2.

guuud, your observations notwithstanding, the presentations clearly are *not* prerecorded and running from tape. In this keynote we have the example of Steve’s clickers not working, which is proof-positive that it was interactive.

Remember, all this stuff is quicktime/quartz/core animation at it’s “core”. A lot of these transitions and effects have existed for some time in Motion. It’s reasonable to assume that much of this will/has already migrated to Keynote. The only real challenge is getting the user interface worked out (in Keynote format) for access to the core animation stuff (Motion has a different interface to the same core technologies).

It will be interesting to see how they take time/path based effects and give them an easy to use interface in a program like Keynote (which isn’t inherently timeline based like Motion is).

The effects are technologically trivial to create with today’s software and processors. The real challenge is getting this power in to the hands of “mere mortal presenters” in an interface that’s simple and straightforward.

There is much movie and Quartz in the Steve’s presentation.

I believe that so much espectacion is excessive, if outside really a Keynote 4 very modified, already would be announced in the paginas of Apple, with this the goodness of the Leopard

I find this totally funny…Steve has as much as SAID he’s the beta tester. And this isn’t the first time he’s showed off stuff that’s not in the shipping version of Keynote. The quote with the word “probably” really cracks me up. Steve PROBABLY uses a version of Keynote we can’t get? Uh…YA THINK!!!?

[...] According to Brian Peat from KeynoteUser.com the next version of Keynote was probably used by Steve Jobs at the recent Keynote Address which you can download in full from iTunes. [...]

[...] Many people noticed some unusual Keynote presentation effects in Job’s recent keynote at MacWorld (e.g. the small text exploding above). Now Brian Peat over at KeynoteUser.com has gone through the keynote with a fine-toothed comb, identifying a bunch of new stuff, like path animations and lots of explosions that cannot be done with Keynote 3 (editorial note: explosions = good). Since it stands to reason that Jobs might just have access to some pre-release version of Keynote, it’s a pretty safe guess that this is a preview of what’s in store for Keynote 4. It’s an interesting read and will probably have heavy Keynote users salivating for iWork ‘07. [...]

I remember sitting right behind the video editing booth for the apple expo keynote in Paris, September 2001. At the palais Expo, the tv and audio crew had a small screen with 4 images of the upcoming slides. It was very simply a quadrant (2×2) that would shift as the slides progressed. the same was the case on the monitors that were by the stage and which steve would use as clue for the next slide. I have no idea how they did that but that was also during the days of keynote.

Sure if you want to. The timings are pretty much there, not sure what you need to do next.

Would you like to map your comments to the timings in the Keynote using Click.TV? See:

Please let me know if you do.

I use Keynote a lot. As I sat in the audience I too checked out the new effects.

I have learned a lot about Keynote from the user conferences chaired by the iWork product team. My impression is that for Stevenotes they sometimes do clever things by layering one image over another and then masking the top image and treating the bottom image differently. You can get some really nice effects this way even though these are not effects you can explicitly call out.
