Gary, first time ever for me to actually make a suggestion, but I have been using Keynote-to-Movie for several years for my English-language TH-cam vids. I found that, having made a narration mistake, it was often hard to re-record seamlessly. However, by inserting 'dummy' slides of just one-second duration, set to automatically transition, I can easily find a spot where I know I was not talking and restart in the following slide.
I notice that you mentioned in the comments, responding to several questions about what you actually used to create the video we are watching, and you replied "ScreenFlow". So, I checked out some videos on ScreenFlow and it occurs to me that if you simply played your Keynote video in a window, you could record your narration using ScreenFlow, plus get your own 'talking head' recorded. Or am I missing something? Thanks, by the way, for an informative video!
Yes, sure you can do that. But if you just want voice, then you can do it all with Keynote. Not everyone wants to be on camera or needs to do that for the presentation they are making.
Hi Gary, how are you getting the thumbnail video of you in the corner even when you're in presentation mode in Keynote? That's what I'm struggling with. Thanks!
macmostvideo the problem I was having is that when it goes into full screen presentation mode, I can’t record my video anymore. But I found two workarounds. 1) Doing a QuickTime or other video recording in the background while recording my presentation in keynote like you showed here. 2) Doing the same thing but using my Canon instead of webcam. Then I can bring my thumbnail video in later in Adobe Premiere Pro or FCP.
@@TravelingwithKristin That works. Using Screenflow allows you to do it with your webcam and then the full-screen Keynote presentation is in one track, and you camera and mic is in another track. Then you can adjust all sorts of things and edit right in Screenflow afterwards. Probably doesn't matter for a video here or there, but I do 5 a week, so I need a smooth and quick workflow.
Great info, thank you. How would I record myself in the corner of the slide show narrating it, similar to what you did in video.During my presentation I not only narrate but want to show some mechanics of an exercise like I do when I do presentations. Thank you for your help, Bob
👍Thank you very much for this video, one question: Is it possible to record the mouse pointer too, when I point on different text or objects during my narration?
Thank you so much Gary, your tutorials are always so well presented and helpful! I’d love to see something on how to simply record online audio internally, not through the microphone. I used to use Soundflower, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.
It works with pro-level tools, like ScreenFlow and (I believe) Camtasia. Maybe look at other third-party screen recorders too to see if it is in their feature list.
I have pre-recorded narration for my presentation. However, when exported to .mov the narration cuts off before that slides finishes. What to do? I appreciate your videos. Great work here!
Hi! When I click on document in upper right corner as you described and click on audio, the record option is grayed out and cannot be selected. How can i fix this?
This video was very helpful for me. I am very new to all of this. I recorded my presentation but the video is very choppy. I’m using a late 2013 MacBook Pro, could that be the issue?
Very clear as always Gary! Is there a way to annotate the presentation while narrating and recording? Ideally by connecting an iPad (so one could use the Apple Pencil)?
@@macmost Thank you for responding. I mean for example circling something in the presentation or underlining something, or adding an arrow to point to something, or even drawing something (live) simultaneously when you’re presenting (and recording). So adding things to the presentation, but “live” as you’re recording a voiceover and presenting, like you’d do on a whiteboard.
@@pressrepeat2000 You can do that on the iPad using the touch screen. You can do it by just using the iPad only, or both iPad and Mac. See th-cam.com/video/BK8eQpoNWFw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Gary. Excellent video. Question for you. I have recorded 21 slides and just reviewed my narration audio and made a mistake in Slide 3. I thought I recorded over the narration with the correct narrator but realized that I actually just kept recording. Am I able to edit a narration on one slide if I have already move passed the slide? Thanks
Not sure why it isn't working for you, sorry. Try restarting Keynote, maybe recording and exporting with no other apps running to get in the way. Maybe a restart.
I wouldn't use a lavalier mic myself, and there aren't many (any?) that go directly to USB. What you get depends on your need and budget. An AT2020USB is great, but expensive. See macmost.com/recommendations
Dear Gary, I like your precious tips very much. I also enjoyed your iMovie-course.Since there is no „theater“ anymore, I got one problem: How can I watch my own films on my Apple-TV without using AirDrop?
Several ways. You can use AirPlay and show them directly from your Mac to Apple TV. You can export as a file and then add them to your TV library, which should show up on your Apple TV (may have to turn on Home Sharing).
Dumb question. I noticed that while speaking your mouse was on the record button when you advanced to the next slide. So how did you advance to the next slide while speaking and not using the mouse?
How do I make the text on screen appear as I speak...I want to text to show up as and when I speak my script. So the text on screen will match the words on the script. Is this possible in keynote?
Thanks for your vid. How do you create a small window on the right bottom corner that is filming you talking at the same time? Do you use your laptop cam and edit it in Final Cut Pro X?
Is it possible to create a keynote presentation with the speaker in the corner narrating it, like you are in this video? Thank you for your great content!
Def not an expert, me, but at present I think it can't be done. I have, with some difficulty managed to pull it off by narrating with said corner face thingy after exporting the un-narrated Keynote to Movie format and then using tools in iMovie. Quite hard work, I found.
Hello Gary, Love all of your videos. I watched this one a couple times, in the last step when I try to export, I do not have a .mp4 or .M4V I just get the name of the keynote, nothing at the end to indicate that it converted to M4V. It does still play as a recorded video, but I am worried I am not seeing the .m4v at the end of the file.
I learned that if I add video clips to my Keynote narrated presentation, that the videos stutter as they begin. Is there a way to prevent this or can I only add video clips after importing into iMovie?
I am using two displays, and want to have a pages document up on my second display with my presentation script. How can I restrict keynote to only one display?
@@macmost sorry, I didn't explain fully -- I want to record a narration. Is there a way to record while using two displays and NOT have the slides up on my second display?
@@amindawry Can't think of a way to do that. Are you trying to view some notes? Copy and paste them into the notes area of the presenter display in Keynote.
Thank you for this!! But how do I make a video presentation just like what you did with this presentation--the one where my face appears? It's pretty easy in powerpoint, but I always prefer to use Keynote but I cannot seem to figure it out.
YOu also can record yourself talking independent of your class video *for example recording a webcam and then add it manually your face recording to the class video in a video editor (imovie for example). that way it is quite flexible. Only remember to sync both videos
I did a presentation with only two slides one is with voice recorded and audio and the last one its only audio why it didnt save both slides? can you help with this issue? I exported as movie like you explain this video. Thanks....
Not as part of Keynote. But you could always do a macOS screen recording, then play the slideshow (and talk through your mic) and the cursor will be visible. Pro screen capture software like what I use will offer even more options.
I do that in my videos using ScreenFlow. If you want that in Keynote you can do it with a video element with a prerecorded video file. Or, you can use the Live Video feature to do it during a presentation.
Great tutorial, but could you please show us how to create the video that is at the right lower corner and incorporate it into the Keynote video presentation.
Do you mean how I make my tutorials? I use Screenflow for that. You can now do something similar in Keynote using Live Video. I just did a video on that: th-cam.com/video/JPRTquBdonQ/w-d-xo.html
Do you mean export it as a Movie? There is no "Quicktime file" option (really no file type like that today). The video exported from QuickTime should be pretty cross-platform. Try it.
macmostvideo My mac is a bit old and i don’t have the option “movie” i have the option QuickTime. I have only this mac so i don’t know if my teacher will be able to open Quicktime in her possibly Windows operating computer. I hope she can open it. Thanks for your kind reply!
I was hoping this could be done with an iPad, which is all I have. Maybe you should have said "...create a narrated video slideshow using only Keynote for Mac." I think I'm going to end up just projecting the presentation on a screen and standing in front of that while recording myself with my PC's onboard cam.
I export to "movie" and open with QuickTime Player. But I get this message: "xxx cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." So, what now?
This happens when you try to launch QuickTime Player? Or are you double-clicking on the file to open it? It sounds like it is trying to open another app. Look carefully to see what it is doing.
Just out of curiosity, do all of you who do these KeyNote tutorials belong to some sort of association and did you all agree not to share how to manually advance slides while you're recording your audio for any particular reason?
Not sure what you mean by that, but are you trying to ask how to manually advance through slides? You can click on the slide, use the spacebar, or use the right arrow key.

Anyone else here because you have an English project due in 2 hours and you forgot how to do it
I really appreciated your work. You are such informative, patient , and loving to us, the people. Very inspiring!
I wanted to learn keynote and went directly to your channel. I think this tells it all about your job. Keep up the excellent job. thank you!
This was a great tutorial. My slides are advancing on their own but I finally figured it out thanks to you. Thank you for your valuable info.
Check the transition settings for those slides.
Thanks very much. This helped me save quite a bit of time. Really good tutorial. Greetings from Germany.

You just have to add text boxes to your slides with the text you are speaking. There's no magic way to do it -- you need to do it manually.
