Genius. And looks so elegant. I know you say it's simple Stephen, but I would never in a million years have worked this out. Thank you

[eryckrogers]

Thank you for your time and artful expertise in this well overlooked gem on the ubiquitous Mac. One question, you've created this daedal deck designs, how does one go about doing their voiceover, as a way of possible teaching or conducting an online course? Im sure it's pretty simple but wanted to hear your seasoned advice. Thanks and again thank you for these nuggets. Much appreciated.

Love your videos. Times up needs an apostrophe, as it's short for time is up. :-)

Hey Stephen, thanks for the great tutorial mate. I am trying to achieve like a countdown timer shown on the quiz screen. The example here has multiple sides, could I do this and import it as an object into my quiz slide? Not sure how to start abut this. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

[ketakijoshi]

loved your easy technique... I was facing a problem about font how to preserve the font? I mean if that particular font is not available on another system it just uses the default system font so how to stop the system to use default font and preserve the orginal font used in the keynote. Please help

Great animation. Just wonder if you also can animate the circle with a boarding starting "not existinge" and every second the circle will become 1/60 more visible starting from the 12 o'clock position. Kind if second timer with 60 seconds.

[hitenmakwana]

Excellent video. Brilliantly explained. Totally got everything without once needing to open keynote 🦾

One question, how would you use a countdown like this over a short video placed in keynote...?

[SebastianDeRossi]

My dude, where is more of your excellent content?... I am dying here! :D

Hi Stephen, I noticed that you haven’t posted in a while, so I’m not sure you’ll be willing/able to respond to this.
Keynote has Magic Move and PowerPoint has Morph. They say that these are almost the same. However, I want to literally morph a circle into a start. This seems possible in PowerPoint, but Keynote just ‘fades’ the circle to a star because it doesn’t know that both are supposed to be the same object.
Or am I missing something and do you have an explanation how to make this work?

Great videos by the way!
