Major omissions in Keynote
Authored by: Mononoke on Jan 11, '03 11:20:08AM

Where's the timing? In PP, I can set the timing for each individual event separately: Timing between slides can be different for every slide; Timing between events on each slide can be different for each event.

Exporting to Quicktime doesn't cut it: There is only one choice for inter-slide timing and for inter-event timing. Plus, exporting is the only way to have a looping show. Once imported to Quicktime, transitions become stuttering 12-frame-per-second animations, instead of the smooth Quartz animations you get playing the show in Keynote. Not nearly as cool.

What if I want to end on a blank slide? I guess I'll have to create one of my own.

Not enough different keys advance the slideshow. In PP there are at least a half-dozen keys that will advance the show, including Enter and Return. Remember, some of us are creating shows for our bosses, and we don't want to have to retrain them on this.

Cool app thus far, but it'll need quite a bit more before it can replace PP.

QuickTime frame rates

You can change the FPS in QuickTime export. It defaults to 12, but you can change that in the custom options.

Pick "custom" from the list of formats, and then pick "Settings...", and then you can change the frame rate.
