Hi, this is Gary with MacMost.com.
Let's take a look at animating Tables and
Charts in Keynote.
So you can animate between slides and between
elements as elements appear on the screen
in Keynote.
You can do that with just about anything including
Tables.
For instance I've created a simple table here
just by hitting the Table button and filling
in some sample data.
If I hit Play it will appear just all at once
just as you would expect.
But we can change how this appears.
By selecting the Table, which I have already
here, I can click Animate in the Toolbar and
add an Effect.
You can see I am going to do this on Build
In.
I'm going to change how it appears.
So I can have it, for instance, do a simple
Move In.
You can see it do that.
Now the entire table will move in, it will
wait for me to do an action.
I'll press the spacebar and it moves in.
So that is just a little bit better than just
appearing.
But we can do even better than that.
What will be better is if we had individual
elements of the table appear one at a time
and we can animate those.
So what I'm going to do here is I'm going
to change the delivery from All at Once.
I can do various things.
For instance by row.
If I were to do that I can hit the Preview
button and you can see I can have each row
appear like that.
I can do by each cell and each one is going
to appear.
Let's speed things up a little bit and do
a half a second and you can see each cell
appears there.
There is a lot of different options and different
things that you can do.
For instance, a lot of these have reverses.
You can do by row content or cell content.
So cell content basically says put the chart
in there first and then the contents appear.
I'm doing it in reverse here.
What you can do is you can have the cells
that are grouped together or you can start
at a certain area.
For instance, I can do delivery by cell and
have it build only starting from the fifth
one.
So it will do the first four right away and
then each one after that as a press the spacebar.
I can also decide to change the build order
which means that not only can I move things
around, shift things in here so that I can
have it appear in different ways, but I can
group things together and then have them appear
and I can change this one to appear immediately
after the first build rather than on click.
Then I can do that with others.
I can change between On Click and After Build
and even Delay After Build.
So I can really customize how these things
come in to make my presentation exactly like
I want it.
So you can also do this with Charts.
I'll click Charts here and it will just create
a sample chart for me.
I'll just use this data that is in here.
I can also go to Animate/Add an Effect and
add any kind of effect that I want.
So, for instance, I'll do Drift and Scale.
So you can see how it does that for each one.
Let's create something a little more appropriate
by using the Change button here and let's
do a Drop.
So I don't want the entire thing to drop at
once.
But instead I can go By Series, By Set, By
Elements in Series.
Anyway I want.
So let's do by Series and then we will Preview
this.
I'll hit the spacebar and you can see the
background drops first and then that, and
then that.
You can do the same thing there with starting
to build the different points or changing
the Build Order if you want to further customize
how this looks.
So you might typically want to do, very quickly,
with a table like this is actually change
it to By Element in Set, so each element is
going to be different and I'm going to have
it build say from the eighth to the last.
So just the last element there is what is
going to animate the screen.
There I go.
I could be giving my presentation and say
well guess how sales were in July.
I have that one drop in and then the next
one drop in like that.
You could do these with any kind of chart
although some work better than others.
Bar graphs work really good.
Pie charts aren't too bad.
We've got the ability here to not only have
built-ins for these but also you can find
you can do build-outs as well.
So you can have an effect for it to leave.
So we can do Move Out and we can do that by
wedge.
So now we can have it go in piece by piece
using one effect there and then when it is
time they can all leave piece by piece.
So you have that option.
You also have actions you can do in the middle.
For instance, you have it do something like
Bounce in the middle there and then, you know,
you have a bit of an emphasis here in the
middle for anything.
Tables, Charts, or any other kind of animation
as well.
Something else to keep in mind.
Of course, when you are done these if you
create something really simple, not only can
you use that in a presentation but you can
also export to QuickTime.
So if you wanted to create something to enhance
a video that you are making you can use Keynote
to create an animated chart and then export
it as QuickTime for a little something extra
for your videos.
