Dude... I've watched a bazillion videos teaching things... And i've been on Keynote for over 10 years and didn't know about Magic Move... BUT... really the reason I'm writing is because you are an incredible teacher/communicator... THANKS
excellent tutorial - just a little note. You don't need to leave Keynote to create the mask for the sliding graphs. You can use the tools under [format]>[shapes and llines]>and then [unite] or [intersect] or [subtract] or [exclude]
SG: "a trick most people aren't even going to see" Me: I saw it immediately and hoped beyond hope you were going to explain how you did it! So happy you went in and showed the mask! A whole new level of obsession has now opened up to me!
That my friend was a ✨ROCKSTAR✨ presentation!!! I learned so much in this Masterclass. You are an excellent teacher! The cogency in which you delivered the message makes it clear that you know what your doing. I am so looking forward to more learning from you. Especially in the world of keynote. This was a 30 minutes well spent!!! Thank you for all your information, time and attentions, SO very appreciated!!!! Keep rocking the wisdom!
Thanks so much and so glad the video had such an impact. Will keep making more and let me know if there is anything you would like to see in a future video.
I started learning KeyNote school presentations and this is the most intuitive tutorial I've seen! Thank you for making this. I will definitely be using these tips!
Sir, you are a godsend - thank you very much for taking the time to show and share this I'll definitely be trying to use these tricks on my channel to explain programming internals
thankyou man!! I was working in this app for the first time an di needed to do some animations, and I was so confused! Now I feel like I have a new superpower :D!!!
I just picked up Keynote for a new client and your videos helped me a ton! Coming from 10 years of PowerPoint Design, Keynote is much slower to design in for sure, lots of missing functionality (maybe I just missed them) navigating the canvas with a scroll wheel, manipulating multiple shapes at once, shape masking to an existing shape, animation copy/pasting, etc. That said I liked Keynotes layout significantly more which feels dumb cause everything was so much slower. Like I won't be going out of my way to use it just because all the little time sinks add up when a paying client is involved but if I was designing just for myself and I had the luxury to take my time then I could see my self using this.
OMD’s Stephen. U r a flipping star. I was watching a video of someone who added these effects and I was tryna replicate but they never reply when u asked them. That flip change colour effect, i was at that for a whole day tryna figure it out, hovered over ur video whilst watching other tutorials but ONLY u spoke properly about these extra features. Shoulda have watched urs all along and I would have done this in seconds. 😭. Either way. Thank u for this. And would seriously want more vids from u about more animations or the photoshop masking process. SUBSCRIBED.
Thanks so much. The problem is that these effects are easy once you understand how to do them, but getting there is so hard and so confusing. Glad it helped.
Your vertical column template, around 8:17, is really quite clever. I am sure it took some time to create the cut outs. Well done and thanks for the tips.
Thanks for this video, I learned something new today, Just to add, if you're like me who use Keynote to make animation assets for explainer video, you can take advantage with the new transparent video feature, to export multiple footage with transparent background, then piece them together in video editing software.
Regarding the layer grid you use to make the "Move In" transition not come from bottom there is a very easier way than using Screenshot and Photoshop. You can do all from Keynote. 1st step : display the layers panel (CMD + MAJ + L) 2nd step : duplicate all your grey backgrounds (so we can then remove them) 3rd step : create a white square same size as frame 4th step : move all duplicated grey backgrounds before the white square 5th step : select them all and in Format > Disposition > Substract Way easier ! :)
I never knew that these things were there in my keynote app and this is really informative I prefer everyone to see this video the animations are literally so cool and the way you did it was way better than what I do I am literally shocked and I wasn't wrong that keynote is better than powerpoint
I would like to see one of your presentations so I can see what is possible. I have worked with PowerPoint and have stayed away from Keynote thinking it was a wimpy substitute but you have inspired me to explore it. But seeing your work would help me let go of PPT as my major tool.
I always like playing around with MS powerpoint. Now, I'm discovering how flexible keynote is as well. And you really got me with that masking. Nice trick!
Pretty cool! I've had a mac for almost 3 years and this is the first time I decided to finally learn more about this apps. Wish I knew lots of this things while I was still in uni
Very instructive presentation, thank you very much. Could you please teach me how I can get the present picture and the following picture on my computer screen when I do the presentation. It helps me to know what picture will come next!
I know all this stuff as I create some (pretty good) presentations. Yesterday I was having some issues as I wanted to have a controlled move in transition. During my research I stumbled on your video and watched up to about the 18 minute mark, and was asking myself “yes, ok, but _how_ is your move in behaving like that?” I figured out it could have been something related to a template you were using for charts or something, so I continued my research. Eventually I read up the solution elsewhere. As so often happens when we become good at something, we look for complex solutions to simple problems, and while I would probably have come up with this DIY workaround when I was newer to the task, I would probably never have thought of masking now (looking instead for actual solutions like start points and paths, travel distance, etc.) Today I decide to continue watching your video and first thing you mention is the masking technique. Lol. I should have stuck around a little longer.
P.s. I think your own solution is itself a bit over and unnecessarily complicated. You could achieve the same result by simply screenshooting in keynote to your clipboard the lower part, placing it in place and simply layering the colors behind it (so send to back for the cutout - in order not to mask the text - and send to back the color - in order to be masked by the cutout). You don’t even need to screenshot anything, in fact, if you use shapes. Same methodology, just apply a shape which is suited: in your case it is tricky given the pill like shape but in cases with squares for instance, as was mine, simply draw a blank square as the mask, and send it to back but just one layer in front of the thing to be masked.
Hey Stephen been watching a lot of your TH-cam videos on keynotes - wow Thank You. Have you figured out how to add simple pop up menu boxes (as in day: Mon Tues Wed, etc select one)? Crazy all the things you can do on slides for apps in keynotes…but pop up menu boxes nah? Or have you dissected there secrets to doing this? Thank You Kimmie
I watched this video in amazement! You explain it very clear so it's easy to follow. I see endless possibilities with this software. Would like to see a tutorial where you use people characters and create kind of a short animated movie. Thanks so much for sharing. This really inspires me to dive into Keynote 👍🏾👍🏾
During one of your presentations you mentioned there was a link below for good "clickers" for a Mac. Can't seem to find that link. Could you please supply that information? Thanks for the great videos!
I really don't give a hoot about presentations but I'm all about simple animation tools. With the way you can link shapes to another page or an external webpage I'm beginning to wonder if Keynote might be the modern incarnation of HyperCard. All you would need would to be able to link a shape to one of these actions. Since you can set the action to fire as soon as the page comes up, linking to that page IS linking to that action. My next project it to try to replicate one of the classic HyperCard games in Keynote. I'm betting I can do it!

It's incredibly amazing how simple, yet powerful most apple tools are.

Thank you! Terrific information.
Thanks!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 first time I’ve seen the power of great animated keynote presentations with a good explanation. Thx!
Glad it was helpful!
Just perfect. Please, make more videos like this.
Thanks for this video, I learned something new today,
Just to add, if you're like me who use Keynote to make animation assets for explainer video, you can take advantage with the new transparent video feature, to export multiple footage with transparent background, then piece them together in video editing software.
Oh man that sounds like a great idea. Do you have any other resources that would be great to look at for help on this?
loving the glasses
Thanks. I have a bait of making sunglasses into my new glasses.

Way easier ! :)
that is way easier. i use this trick all the time
Thank you! That was a lot and very helpful!
Great video. Well done!
Thank you very much!
I knew some of these tips but not all. Thanks for this Masterclass!
Masterclass Volume 2 - Please 😊
Thank you much. I am so grateful for this as I am using keynote to do my first webinar and your classes are super helpful. Much gratitude.
Great to hear it.
Thank you for the details.
You are the man Steve! Thanks brother.
Your video was stunning!!!

Great Vid and explanation.
Thanks so much
Thank you very very much you really are a master !
Thanks so much.
exactly what I needed! thank youuuuuuuu! i'm gonna try all the things you've covered here.
Thanks and glad it helped.
I never knew that these things were there in my keynote app and this is really informative I prefer everyone to see this video the animations are literally so cool and the way you did it was way better than what I do I am literally shocked and I wasn't wrong that keynote is better than powerpoint
It is better when you finally break through and figure out where everything is hidden
I would like to see one of your presentations so I can see what is possible. I have worked with PowerPoint and have stayed away from Keynote thinking it was a wimpy substitute but you have inspired me to explore it. But seeing your work would help me let go of PPT as my major tool.
You can see my decks in any of the keynotes I have done at different events which are also in this channel
Bro thanks got from an c to an a helped me a lot
I always like playing around with MS powerpoint. Now, I'm discovering how flexible keynote is as well. And you really got me with that masking. Nice trick!
Thanks so much!
This is just what I was after - Great job
Agree with the others that this is fabulous. I consider myself a master Keynote designer and I learned a few nuances that will up my game!
Thanks for making this video. Gave me the overview I was looking for to understand how to get started. All the best to you!
Glad it was helpful!

Wow, absolute Awesomeness 🍿
Thanks!
bravo! very useful video, i have been using keynote for 3 years and only now that I have discovered this tool bar customization..
You are not alone using it for years with no idea all that functionality was there. Glad this helped.
Great video, I learned a lot. Thank you!
protect this man.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL🙏🏿
Glad it helped!
Absolutely fantastic instruction! You've just doubled my animation capabilities!

Thanks!
Very useful, thank you very much!
i was at the 8 minutes mark then i got engrossed in the potential masterpiece i could make and started dancing and bobbinb my head

Next ti, can you install one of those apps that creates a circle around your mouse pointer? Sotis it’s hard for to find where
Is it possible to add music - thanks for this video it’s great!
