Getting Started / Files to Import
Subtitles of the Movie
Let's talk about file types: different file types that you can import and export into Keynote. Well, we have GIF, we have JPEG, we have TIFF, PDF, and PNG. Starting off with GIF. GIF is a web graphic, and GIFs are 256 colors or less for that matter. And they are very low in color, and usually you create logos and things like that, things that don't have millions of colors. JPEG on the other hand: JPEG has 16.7 millions of colors and it's photo quality. If you're looking to import photos of friends and family and people you know, then I can definitely say JPEG is the winner. Now TIFF is like JPEG, but it's usually higher in quality. They use TIFF in printing quite a bit. TIFFs, TIFF files are usually a lot of colors, probably more than 16.7 million to be exact. Then you have PDF, portable document format. That is often created by Acrobat Distiller or perhaps Acrobat Photoshop Illustrator, programs that create PDFs. Portable document format is a wonderful thing to import into Keynote. Then you finally have PNG, portable network graphic. That is photo quality with transparency, and GIF has transparency as well. What can you export? Well you can export to QuickTime, you could also import QuickTime. That's fun. You could also import SWF files from Flash MX and that will be covered in later tutorials. You could export to QuickTime for a presentation both on the PC and Mac. You could export to a Keynote slide show. And of course you could export to PowerPoint. If you're using PowerPoint on a PC, and you want to import your project, then you choose PowerPoint from the export menu. And finally you have portable document format. This is a wonderful, wonderful method of exporting your slideshow. If you're deciding to print your slideshow at a high quality printer, then I could highly suggest choosing PDF. You could also put PDF on the Internet, which is wonderful for people to download your slideshow and flip right through it. Same thing goes for QuickTime of course. And QuickTime allows you to compress the video as well, making it smaller in file size and manageable for people to download from a 56K modem. to download from a 56K modem.
