Use iPod Photo to show Keynote2 presentations
Authored by: tinker on Jan 29, '05 11:53:24AM
This is a nice hint. I've become addicted to dynamic transitions, so it'd be hard to do exactly what I want to do on an iPod, but the potential for transition-less presentations is great.

As an aside: one barrier to further iPod-Keynote integration, at least in the context of the presentation coming from a laptop, is Keynote's lack of Applescript-ability. See this exchange with Jonas Salling, of Salling Clicker fame, for a more detailed discussion of this point.

Use iPod Photo to show Keynote2 presentations

Firstly, I wouldn't call it transition-less. Ther are basic transitions and you have the option of turning them on or off. One might want to have them off if they wanted to show builds of a slide by making an individual jpg for every new element added to a slide.

Secondly, applescript will probably become obsolete or at least marginalized with the release of Automator in Tiger. As one of the repliers in this thread noted, a script was demoed at Macworld by Sal (the head of Applescript at Apple) which automated keynote and iphoto and iPod photo. I wonder how that will work with Keynote since as you mentioned Keynote is not currently scriptable.
