Apple keynote: how to make an interactive presentation..

Although we have all heard of Powerpoint as a powerful tool for presentations, I believe that after using the Apple keynote, I have also learned that it can be used to create impressive and engaging presentations.

In this story I’m going to show you how we can create and Deliver a Killer Keynote Presentation using Keynote

Set it up correctly :

Start Keynote, then choose a Theme . Choosing an appropriate theme can save you time and effort in redefining styles, backgrounds, and image formatting.

Planning your content :

The Slide is the core component of Keynote, so it’s best to view your interactive piece as a series of small, slide-sized chunks. If you want to tell an interactive narrative, you’ll want to write it one slide at a time in words, images, video, or short animations.

Create your content :

The first page will be a title slide , so write a good welcome text ,Also use simplify charts and graphs to present your data,Always try to put points in further interactive way so that viewer can understand and grasp the slides veritably and fluently. it'll also helps to make the bystander always stick with the slide.

Short animations :

• On the slide, click to select the object you want to animate.
• In the Animate sidebar, click the Animate tab.
• Click Add an Effect, then select an animation.
• To set animation options such as the duration and direction of the animation, use the controls that appear.(Start Transition,Delay)

A Good Animation can help make a PowerPoint presentation more dynamic, and help make information more memorable. The most common types of animation effects include entrances and exits. You can also add sound to increase the intensity of your animation effects.

Presentation experts recommend using animations and sound effects sparingly. Animation can be useful in making a presentation more dynamic, and help to emphasize points, but too much animation can be distracting. Do not let animation and sound take the focus away from what you are saying.

Present it! :

Go ahead — press Play and test out your presentation. Everything should work as you’d expect, and you can press Escape to exit. Save your Presentation to iCloud, then open it on your iPad, and everything will work just the same there.

You have some great tips. I also appreciate the paragraph about using sounds and animations sparingly. It never fails when I introduce Keynote to students, that their first presentation has sounds and animations for everything. Thank you for sharing, Keynote is one of my favorite apps.

November 22, 2023

There's nothing like a great, well-thought-out Keynote. Thanks for sharing your step-by-step guide.

Another great tips would be to use purposeful animation. If your an explaining how gravity work, using the anvil composition to have an object (or even the word GRAVITY) fall for the sky and land in a smoke dust deliver a message out the topic. And you are right to use is sparingly, use it to gain focus, to surprise you listener.

Great topic and explanation!

Tutorial: How to make animated videos with keynote

Many creators are hoping to create professional-looking videos for your online course, but are not sure where to start. Using Keynote (or its Microsoft equivalent, PowerPoint) is a simple and fun way to make beautiful videos at home . It’s relatively easy to make an animated videos with Keynote. We’ll show you how.

Transforming Keynote to video

Animation on Keynote is kind of magical. And it’s way more powerful than you might think.

For example, we made this colorful white-boarding presentation all on Keynote. But, you probably couldn’t tell right away by just looking at it. Just think about all the weeks or months you’d have to spend learning complex animation software to get the same results. Even the process of selecting animation software is overwhelming, and can be a huge barrier to new course creators.

You can harness this power too. And it’s not nearly as difficult as you might think. Below, we’ll walk you through step-by-step how to make animated videos with Keynote (without it even looking like Keynote at all).

Step 1: Make your presentation

Create a new keynote.

Create a new Keynote presentation to start. You’ll see that a new Keynote theme usually begins in “standard” size. Standard isn’t good for video, so you want wide instead.

Select “Wide” at the top and choose the theme you want to begin with.

Set up the right dimensions

Before you start changing around colors, or adding text and images, this is the most important action you’ll take. Customize your dimensions so they fit YouTube’s high-quality resolution. This will also upload seamlessly onto Teachable’s platform.

To do this, check out the righthand bar of your Keynote program. Select Document . Then you’ll see a category below named Slide Size . Click on that, and toggle to Custom Slide Size.

Next, enter the optimal custom slide size. We highly recommend 1920×1080 , which we will consistently use throughout the course of this tutorial on how make animated videos with Keynote.

Dimensions are really important. If you don’t get them right the first time, you’ll spend hours fixing it later.

Customize for brand colors and fonts

Now that your dimensions are set up, you can start on the design portion. It’s easy to customize Keynote slides to fit your brand colors and fonts.

You’ll find this customization on the right hand corner of your screen under Format > Edit Master Slide .

Editing the master slide means that you’ll pick the default colors and fonts for all the slides. This will make your life easier in the long run, because you won’t have to change font sizes, colors, and background colors every time you create a new slide.

You’ll get this warning because editing master slides will change all slides. Because you haven’t made any slides yet, though, this will be an asset instead of a problem. After you’ve selected your brand fonts, colors, backgrounds and overlays, you can finally get down to creating your course content.

Add images and text

Keynote leaves you plenty of versatility to add shapes, photos, charts, GIFs.

We especially love using their “Shape” section to animate our own videos. You can select as many of these icons as you want, then customize the color or add dimension.

For the SEO course we created, we used the free Keynote icons under “Shape” to animate the introductory video. Here’s an example of how it can look:

Play around with animation

Once you’ve added all the imagery and text you want for each slide, you’ve finally arrived to the part that makes this program special: animation.

This is where you can bring your keynote slides to life and make them look like a professionally animated video. Think of this as a shortcut to making professional, fun, highly engaging video, with just a few clicks of a button.

Click on the piece of text or image that you want to animate. Make sure you’ve toggled to the Animate button in the right hand corner, which sits between Format and Document.

Here are what the Keynote animation features mean:

• Build in – Whenever you build something in, it means you’re introducing that image or text to the viewer for the first time. The build in action you choose will bring your selected object into the slide.
• Action – The action button is for any object that is already in the slide. It won’t appear, it will already be there on the screen. You’ll use this feature when you want to animate or emphasize something that’s already on the screen.
• Build out – When you build out an object, you make that object leave the screen. The object will already be on the screen, and this exits with your build out of choice.

The best part? There are all different kinds of animations. Toggle around and hit the preview button to see what they’re like.

They’ll make your selected text or objects bounce, fly, go up in flames, burst into fireworks, or wipe away. With such a variety, you can make your videos look way more fun and engaging.

For example, in this part of my video, we used the transitions Move In , Scale , and Move Out . We also checked the Bounce box to give the objects a little pep.

Other features worth mentioning when learning how to make animated videos with Keynote:

• Duration – Duration means how long the selected animation will last. You can choose between a fraction of a second and a whole minute. Play around and see what pacing fits your video best.
• Direction – From which direction will your object appear? With most text and images, you can choose any different corner of the slide.
• Order – This part is important. You don’t want your supporting bullet to enter the slide before your headline. You can select your chosen object and then decide its order when building in and building out. Test all of your slides together to make sure they pop up in the right order.

Want to see more keynote to video clips? Here’s another Keynote animation example of the slides.

Note that we’ve put this in GIF format for easier viewing, but the frame rates are seamless and clean in the actual video.

Step 2: Change your screen formatting

Once you’ve completed your animation, you’re ready to prepare for recording. Many people hit snags in this process because the format of their screen is different from the format of their slides.

First, download SwitchResX , or a similar screen resizing software.

Once you’ve installed it, you can temporarily change the resolution size of your screen. Go to SwitchResX > Color LCD > Current Resolutions . You’ll see what your screen is already at (mine is usually set at 1680×1050).

Remember how we formatted the Keynote slides to 1920×1080 in the beginning? You’ll select the same screen resolution here to make sure your slides and your screen are perfectly aligned.

You’ll notice your screen resolution shift and things will look a little different. Don’t worry, that just means it’s working. Now, you’re ready to record.

Step 3: Select your recording method

There are several different ways to record your Keynote to video once it’s ready for action. Which method you choose largely depends on your preferences, but I’ll list some pros and cons of each.

Keynote recorder

As it turns out, Keynote has its very own recording app.

• You can read your slideshow notes while you’re recording, without them showing up in the end product.
• You’ll be taken to a recording “staging” area that will help you see your Keynote animations and slides one step ahead. That means you’re less likely to flub up your lines.
• It might be hard to set up an external mic if you would prefer your own while you’re recording the slides.
• You’ll have to do a proper recording all in one shot. It’s harder to redo recordings with this feature.

Screenflow is an app that can simultaneously record your screen and your computer audio at the same time.

• Allows you to record your voice and slides at the same time.
• Many people find easy to use.
• Can be buggy.

Consider recording the screenflow first and then bring in audio recorded from an external mic in later.

You can also see your Keynote program while using QuickTime. All you have to do is enter the program and then select File > New Screen Recording . You can select the entire screen instead of cropping because you’ve already formatted the screen correctly.

Once you’ve completed recording a video, make sure to export it in the correct dimensions as well. (See why we wanted you to know about all of them!)

For example, with QuickTime, once the recording is over, you’ll want to save the file in the correct dimensions as well. You can do this by going to File > Export As > 1080 . This fits the YouTube-style resolution we’ve been consistently using throughout.

Step 4: Choose your assembling method

Now, it’s time to mix your animated slides and audio together.

If you’ve decided to go with a computer mic and recorded this all together on Keynote, you may even skip this step. (We do recommend that you use an external mic or headphone mic if possible. You can read more about recording quality sound here .)

If you’d like to add intro and outtro slides, music, or other effects, you’ll need video editing software to complete the job. Here are some basic options, along with the pros and cons.

Apple Movie

Apple Movie comes with Macs and has an incredibly simple user interface.

• Very beginner friendly.
• Drag and drop makes it easy to visualize where your animated video and audio are aligning.
• Overly simple. Doesn’t allow you to edit your video in a more advanced way.
• Can sometimes be more slow and clunky than more advanced programs.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is the industry standard for video editing. The industry standard used to be Final Cut Pro, until their product became too similar to Apple Movie.

• Offers advanced options for special effects, audio gain, and lighting.
• Seamlessly integrates with AfterEffects, Audition, and all other Adobe software.
• Is easier to layer narration, music, sound effects, and different types of visuals.
• Costs money for a subscription.
• Has highly advanced features that can be harder for beginners to understand.
• Can be easy for beginners to accidentally mess up and damage their files.

Overall, the choice of video editor is yours! Do your research to see which one would best fit your needs and your process to make animated videos with Keynote.

Step 5: Triple check your dimensions

We’ve talked about dimensions a lot in this post. But this is tip a million and one: Check your dimensions throughout every step of the process when it comes to understanding the process to make animated videos with Keynote. Here is where you’ve ensured your dimensions are 1920×1080 so far:

• Keynote slides
• Screen resolution before recording
• Saving the completed screen recording at the correct resolution

Next, you’ll have to look out for these, too:

• Setting up your video editor for the correct dimensions
• Exporting video for the correct dimensions
• Uploading for the correct dimensions

Step 6: Upload and share

You’ve created your slides. You’ve learned how to make animated videos with Keynote. And then you’ve edited and uploaded them with the perfect dimensions in mind. Once you complete these steps, you’ll have gorgeous, animated videos built for an exceptional online course .

Still curious what they can look like? Here’s another video we produced with Keynote:

And a couple others we found online:

Those videos will look so professional and may give you the justification to charge more for your courses .

Keynote Video: How To Make A Video With Keynote | Slide Presentation Video From Keynote Presentation

Today we’re going to talk about how to make a video with Keynote. If you plan on creating an evergreen webinar, or adding a recording of your Keynote presentation to your online course that your students can access on demand, this tutorial is for you. This strategy will save you time and energy, since once your video has been recorded, you can share it over and over again without any additional work on your end.

Stay tuned until the end of this video to learn how to make a video with Keynote, and to get my webinar sales funnel template that you can use to boost your webinar sign up rate, increase the number of people who show up live, and skyrocket your sales. Also, make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be notified every Tuesday when I post a new video.

Alright, so let’s get right into how to make a video with Keynote.

To open Keynote, you can either go to finder, applications, and then select Keynote, or use the search tool in the menu up top to open the spotlight search. Start typing in Keynote, and click on the app to open it up. When you open Keynote, select the presentation you wish to add audio to, and click on 'open'.

As you can see, I've already added what I want to say in each slide to the presentation notes to make things easier on my end. To record our audio, click on 'audio' from the menu on the right, and then click 'record'. This will open up the recording page.

There are a number of things you can do from here. Under 'show navigation' on the left you can jump to a different slide with ease. Under the question mark, you can view a number of navigation, slide navigator, presenter display, movies, and other keyboard shortcuts. Under the 'layout manager', you can toggle whether you want to see on the screen the current slide, next slide, presenter notes, ready to advance indicator, clock and timer. You can exit the recording page by clicking on the x in the top right-hand corner.

Once you're ready to start your Keynote recording, click on the red record button. A 3, 2, 1, countdown will appear, and from there you'll be ready to read your presenter notes slide by slide, and record your entire Keynote presentation. Make sure you see that countdown since that's your warning that the presentation will actually be recorded.

The good thing is that just the current slide with your audio will be recorded, so even if you're reading your presenter notes and they're visible on your screen, they won't be saved in your Keynote recording. When finished recording your Keynote presentation, click on the red record button once more. If you didn't enjoy your recording, and wish to start over, you can click on 'clear' under the audio tab to delete it.

Once you're happy with your Keynote recording, and wish to export it as a video, click on 'file', 'export to', and then on 'movie'. Leave the playback as slideshow recording, and if you wish you can change the resolution from 720 pixels to 1080 pixels, or even add a custom resolution of your choice. Then click on 'next' to name your Keynote video recording, select where you wish to save it, and then click on 'export'. When we open the file up, you'll be able to see the video of your Keynote presentation with your slides and voice.

Now you know how to make a video with Keynote. If you plan on using this recording for your webinar, and wish to take your webinar efforts to the next level to boost your webinar sign up rate, increase the number of people who show up live, and skyrocket your sales, make sure to get my Webinar Sales Funnel Template by clicking on the link in the description box below.

Do you have to have wifi available to run the video?

Ronald: You need some sort of connection to the Internet, yes.

If presentation venue has no wifi, will the video run using iPhone hotspotting?

Leanne: Sure. But I would test it ahead of time to make sure the connection is fast enough.

Making a video presentation with Lumen5 is a bit different from the other software we mention here.

The original idea with Lumen5 when it started was to import the URL of a blog post and the AI software created a video for you. A few years after inception Lumen5 is now a stronger software with more features to support their original idea. 

Lumen5 is a cloud-based video presentation software.

The Interface

The Lumen5 interface is simple and easy to grasp. There are two very similar interfaces, one that has a content tab for when you upload a blog post or long text and the interface to use with templates. The only difference is the content tab.

Text layouts have limited customizations for placement and animation. All animations are automatic but can be personalized to some extent.

Video proportions can be changed into all social media sizes easily and all the content rearranges itself automatically. There are no undo-redo controls.

Available Templates

The Lumen5 software offers a number of templates to start with. There aren’t a ton of options, but enough to get you started. Every template has various size versions so the complete template gallery looks bigger than it really is.

Available Visuals

The visuals available in Lumen5 consist of stock images and video clips. Depending on your subscription level, you can access up to 330M stock photos from Getty and Shutterstock. You can upload images, video and audio from the desktop or straight from your phone.

Q. What Is a Video Presentation?

A video presentation is a dynamic and engaging method of delivering information to an audience. It involves using moving visuals and sound to explain concepts, promote ideas or convey messages.

Unlike traditional text-based presentations, it uses graphics, animations, voiceover, music and video clips to create an interactive and engaging experience.

Q. How Do You Make a Presentation Video?

Making a video presentation involves several steps. Initially, you should clearly define your topic and objectives, then create a storyboard or script detailing what you plan to say and show. Use this as a guide when filming or recording the video.

Choose a reliable video editing software from the list we provided in this article. These tools will help combine your visuals, add audio or voiceover, include transition effects and arrange the video clips in a logical sequence.

Remember to review thoroughly and edit where necessary. Once you're satisfied with your video presentation, export it into an appropriate format that suits your distribution channel.

Q. Why Make a Video Presentation?

Video presentations are especially effective for capturing and retaining the audience's attention. They make complex topics more digestible by breaking information into chunks, accompanied by appropriate visuals.

Also, you can access them remotely, reaching a wider, potentially global audience. Video presentations can effectively communicate emotions, making your message more persuasive and impactful.

Q. What Should Be Included in a Video Presentation?

A successful video presentation should always be thoughtful, engaging and impactful. Here are some of the critical components of a good video presentation:

• Clear Objective: Outline your core message from the start. It sets the course of your entire presentation.
• Engaging Script: Craft a script that's clear, concise and appealing to your audience.
• Relevant Visuals: Use relatable images, graphics or videos to support your message and help your content attract viewers.

The Best Way to Record Presentations on Mac with Audio and Webcam

Compared with recording presentations with Apple Keynote and MS PowerPoint, EaseUS RecExperts provides a more optimal recording experience.

It lets you record PowerPoint presentation with audio and video on Mac in just a few clicks. Apart from recording MS PowerPoint, it also records slides from Keynote, Google Slides, Zoom meetings, and more.

When recording is finished, you can trim the content using the AI-empowered editing functions. Then, export a recorded PPT video in high quality with MP4, MOV, and other file types. Download the software below to record lectures on Mac with ease.

Let's see how to record a presentation on Mac with the EaseUS screen recording software.

⭐ Before you begin :

• To record a presentation with your face , connect a webcam (e.g., Logitech C920 or similar) or a digital camera or HD camcorder with video recording capabilities to your computer.
• To capture your narration sound, connect an external microphone (USB condenser microphones, Lavalier mics, or Headset mics) to the device.
• Prepare good lighting for high-quality video.
• Set up a clean and professional background.
• Practice your presentation and be familiar with the content.

Now, open the PPT on Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or other presentation apps. Then, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Firstly, launch EaseUS RecExperts on your Mac. There are two options, "Full Screen" and "Region," for you to select the recording area.

Step 2. Then, click on the "Webcam" button at the bottom. When a "Record webcam" window pops up, click the button to activate the webcam, and you can select the device you want to use from the dropdown menu.

Step 3. If you want to capture the screen with audio, the "Sound" button beside "Webcam" can help. You can click on the two buttons on the "Select recording sound" window to choose the audio source, such as the system sound, the microphone audio, or two of them.

After adjusting the settings appropriately, click on the "REC" button to start recording.

Step 4. Now, you can record the Mac screen and your webcam at the same time. After capturing all the content you need, hit the "Stop" button to end it, and this software will offer you a built-in video player to view the video you captured.

Record a PowerPoint Presentation with the Internal Recorder

MS PowerPoint for Mac is not only a tool for creating, editing, and sharing presentations but is also equipped with an internal audio recorder to help presenters capture the screen, audio, and webcam simultaneously on macOS.

People who want to record presentations on Mac with themselves showing faces can use the Cameo feature in PowerPoint. Cameo enables users to insert a live camera feed directly on a slide.

Let's look at how to record PowerPoint presentations with audio and video Mac.

If you don't need to record yourself on Mac , skip the first two steps, which aim to add a webcam overlay to the PPT.

Step 1. Open the slides on PowerPoint. Go to Insert > Cameo.

Step 2. A new tab of Camera will appear along with a placeholder for your camera feed. Click the on-off icon to turn on the video feed. You can see yourself on the slide.

• If you have multiple cameras, click Preview to pick another one.
• You can apply effects to your camera.
• You can use the anchor to change the placement and size of your camera feed.

Step 3. Go to Slide Show > Record Slide Show. Select Record from Beginning… or Record from Current Slide….

Step 4. In the recording toolbar, toggle on video (camera icon) and audio (speaker icon) in the dropdown options.

• Select Blur Background in the camera options menu to avoid any background distractions for your audience.
• To make a video from PPT with audio only, toggle the camera (video button) off.

Step 5. Click on the red record button in the top right corner. A three-second countdown timer will appear. When it ends, the recording starts.

Step 6. During the recording session, you can use pause and resume buttons to manage narration and navigation.

Step 7. Click the red button again to stop recording. You can preview the records.

Step 8. If you want to re-record your narration, click the Clear recording button (trash can icon) left to the red record button to delete the existing capture. Then, start recording again.

Step 9. After pressing Esc or clicking End show to exit the Record Slide Show experience, you will see the narration (audio/video) applied to the slides, as well as the appropriate slide timing and inking animations.

Step 10. Go to File > Export to export your presentation as a video. Select a video format you need (MP4 or MOV).

Record Keynote Presentation with the Built-in Recording Feature

Keynote is part of the iWork productivity suite developed by Apple Inc. for presentations on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. It is embedded with an integrated recording feature to help record a PowerPoint presentation on Mac.

However, this feature records PPT with audio only. If you only need to record a presentation on Keynote without showing your face, you can use it to perform a smooth recording.

Let's see how to record a presentation with voiceover narration on macOS devices with Keynote.

Step 1. Open the presentation in Keynote. Click Document in the upper right corner.

Step 2. Go to the Audio tab and click Record….

Step 3. This will launch a new, full-screen window. Click the red recording button. The timer counts down from 3 before the recording starts. You can use the right or left arrow key to go to the next or previous slide.

Step 4. Click the red button again to stop recording. You can click the play button to preview the recording.

• To re-record from a specific location: Drag the playback slider at the bottom of the screen to the location where you want to start recording, then click the red recording button. Select Record in the pop-up menu to start recording.
• Delete the entire recording: Click the trash can icon at the bottom right corner of the screen and then select Clear.

Step 5. Press the Esc key to exit the presenter's display.

Step 6. To export the Keynote presentation, go to File > Export To. Select a file format and click save. Type a filename, choose a location, and click Export.
