K09 Tip: Where did all my favorite effects go?
Posted by | Posted in Tips | Posted on 01-09-2009
Every time Apple releases a new version of Keynote, you can hear the screams of users everywhere wondering where their beloved effects have gone. Apple likes things nice and tidy, so to keep the effects menus short and clean, there are transitions and builds that Apple deems “obsolete” that no longer appear in the menus. Don’t worry though, they haven’t actually been removed, they’re just turned off. If you make a visit to the Keynote preferences, you’ll see an option to :include obsolete animations in choices.” Checking this box brings back all your old effects (thereby making your effects lists really long).
I love the droplet transition so much that I almost cried when I thought I had lost it. Thank you so much for bringing my baby back to me.
Fantastic! I was getting around this problem by copying objects from old presentations which had animations applied – the obsolete animation would then appear in the list!
SWEET- thanks so much for enlightening me- I was SO sad when I thought the droplet was gone
wheres comet?
Finding this web site is great discovery for me.
You did really solved my problem about vanished some transitions in Keynote 09.
I followed your instructions and solved the issue.
I wish to say that I searched the whole web and even apple web site, BUT keynoteusers.com is the only and the best.
million thanks
Well, I’ve enabled the “obsolete” transitions via preferences, but am still unable to get my favorite, which is/was “Grid”. Maybe this is only available when opening an older document that has the transition, but not when creating a new show from scratch in ’09?
THANK YOU!!!
