Subtitles of the Movie (Apple iWork 08 / Even More Keynote / Save and Export a Slideshow)
And welcome to chapter eight in our look at iWork 2008, specifically here we're looking at Keynote and we continue our discussion of Keynote with doing some additional tasks. We're doing even more with Keynote and we start out this chapter doing something that you may have thought, well, why didn't you do that at the beginning? That's a pretty elementary task. Well, precisely because of that I didn't show it to you earlier because if you closed the program for the first time, you'll prompted for this, but that is just simply saving the file that you're working on. Everybody should know how to do this. Go to the file menu, save or save as. If it's the first time you've run a save, of course you'll see this dialog box here. So we'll call this one VTC Presentation P-r-e-s-e-n-t-a-t-i-o-n and we'll call it 2; something like that. And we can save it to the desktop if we want to or our pictures or movies or documents folder. It doesn't really matter. We can include the preview in the document and also we have additional options here such as save a copy in previous versions of iWork if you want to. Also I recommend this is enabled, that you leave this checked; copy audio and movies into document. And the reason why this is important is because if you send this presentation off to someone else and they, say email the presentation, without the copied audio and movies, that other person, the recipient would have to have those files on their local hard drive in order to play the presentation the way you've intended it. So that's a default option. If you want to have a smaller file size though, you have inserted lots of audio and movies into your document, you may want to uncheck that to reduce the file size. So again, it's up to you. It is checked by default but the theme images in the document also is unchecked by default and the reason why that is unchecked is because if you work on it with another copy of iWork, they should have all the theme images necessary in order to deal with that presentation. You should have to send your theme images over as well because again, the application installs with all those theme images included. So that's it. I won't even, oh, I'll go ahead and do a save here. Why not? I want to save a copy of it. I'll just click on save. Ok. So we've made the save now and we're ready to go. Now, that's pretty easy. What I wanted to show you especially though in this module is the export process and this is what makes Pages such a great application in that you can generate something in Pages and then send it to almost any conceivable format that can be used on another computer or even another device like an iPod. So you can convert your presentation to HTML so you can let people look at your slideshow in a web browser, in pdf documents, as jpg images, as a Flash movie, a QuickTime movie or as a PowerPoint presentation. So for now, I want to show you how to create a QuickTime movie out of this and you'll just look at the options here essentially. Playback uses, hyperlinks only, fixed timing, manual advance. So by manual advance, then each time you click the mouse the movie, the QuickTime movie will advance and show you the next slide. Formats, full quality, large, CD-ROM quality, movie quality. So you can export not only HTML files, but also QuickTime files that will be stored in .mov file extension and those can also be exported to web of course as well. So we'll make a web movie small. We'll include the audio sound files and movie audio. Click on next and let's just put this right onto the desktop here. We'll call it VTC Presentation 2. We'll export it and now you can see kind of in this preview that the slide is being, the slideshow is being built, it's being exported to QuickTime, we're done. So now I'm back to the desktop and you can see where I've put this presentation. I put it right there. Let's give it a double click and you can see what a small web movie would look like. So it's just going to sit there because I specified that it would be a manual toggling through the slideshow, so if I click on it, then it goes to my next slide. Then it goes to the next part of the slide and I have to click on it again to start my build, which I will continue to do with my clicks, another click, an arrow, another click and the arrow moves and so you get the idea. So that's how you save and that is how you export your slide presentations in Keynote.
