12/5/2023 0 Comments Animation in keynote![]() That was certainly the experience I enjoyed when I visited the team in Pittsburgh in 2009. It seems clear to me though that Keynote users are some of the most creative people out there, taking what the engineering team offers, then re-purposing it in novel ways which perhaps surprise and delight the team. All groups are simply labelled group, rather than an even minimally useful: Group 1, Group 2, etc. The other problem with its build order is the inability to name groups after one has combined elements. This is not helped by the Keynote team who have not updated the layering of elements in the way Microsoft achieved it years ago, as shown in the video I created below, in 2011! When a single slide has so many builds, it’s hard to decipher what one has created. I am a big user of MagicMove, because it saves time, mouse clicks and “build clutter”. More features have been returned or added to Keynote, and at least there appears to be life in the iWork engineering team with more frequent updates in recent months. The bleating that accompanied the shift from Keynote 5 to Keynote 6 a few years ago, when quite a few special elements of Keynote were omitted, has quietened. Perhaps it will now that Microsoft has caught the bug of more evolved animation, but if MagicMove does up the ante, it will likely be because the desire for iOS parity has been achieved with more powerful A-series processors and more RAM in Apple’s mobile devices. Since then, many Keynote users have adopted MagicMove into their workflow, although many of us have always thought Apple could do so much more with it. ![]() (Steve Jobs had stopped keynoting the year before, when he introduced the original MacbookAir). Here is an official video from one of its engineering team, Christopher Maloney.Īpple Keynote users are likely to shrug their shoulders knowing that Keynote has had such design aspirations almost from its beginnings in 2003, and the Morph equivalent, MagicMove, was introduced by Phil Schiller at Macworld in January 2009. In Office365 its Office team has introduced two “new” features called Designer and Morph. Microsoft has finally acknowledged how poorly the vast majority of its Powerpoint users apply their technology.
