Adding+Voiceover+Narration+to+a+Keynote+Presentation

Project Steps: 1. Create a presentation in Keynote. You can create slides that include text, images, charts, and graphs.

2. Prepare a script for narration for each slide. Practice reading your narration before you record.

3. Press the Mute key at the top of your keyboard (the speaker icon with no sound waves, also marked as the F10 key) so sounds from your computer aren't captured during recording. Next, you will use the built-in microphone on your Mac to record your narration.

4. Go to slide 1 if it is not already displayed. Choose "Record Slideshow" from the Play menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen and start talking immediately. As you record, click to advance through the slides. Move from slide to slide at a natural speed; the timing will be saved as well as your narration. The red light in the upper-left corner of the window shows that recording is in progress.

5. When you are done recording the last slide, click on last time to conclude your recording. NOTE: If you want to clear the entire recording, choose Clear Recording from the Play menu. If you need to re-record narration for a portion of the slides, follow these steps: a. Select the slide where you want to start re-recording. b. Open the Document inspector (click inspector in the top toolbar, then click the Document icon at the top left of the inspector). c. Click Audio. d. Click Record. e. In the dialog that appears, click Record & Replace to replace just the narration starting from the selected slide through the end of the recording. To replace the entire recording, click Record From Beginning. f. Re-record your narration. g. Click on last time to conclude your recording.

6. To save your presentation, choose Save from the File menu.

7. To send your presentation to iTunes, choose Send To from the Share menu, then choose iTunes from the submenu.

8. In the dialog that appears, click Send. In the next dialog, type a name for your presentation, choose a location to save it, then click Export. iTunes opens. It will take a couple of minutes for your movie to be saved in a format that can be used by iTunes. iTunes creates a new playlist with the name of your computer. The playlist opens and your recording is listed.

9. Press the Mute key on your Mac to turn your volume back on. Connect your iPod to your Mac to sync the movie to your iPod.

10. Disconnect your iPod when the sync is complete. Your presentation can be found in the Videos section on your iPod.

11. Quit iTunes by choosing Quit iTunes from the iTunes menu. Quit Keynote the same way.
