In this video I'm going to show you how to create professional-
level video animations using a feature in Apple Keynote called Magic Move
Hey, it's Michael Kinney from michaelkinney.com
and my mission is to help you engage, persuade and educate using the power of video
You know aside from being low cost presentation software
Apple Keynote is a
deceptively capable easy to use video animation program that I use for all kinds of videos
I'm going to show you how to use a particularly powerful
animation feature in Keynote called
Magic Move. With Magic Move you can create some pretty professional-looking video animations quickly and
easily
So let's hop into Keynote, and I'll show you what I mean
Now before I show you how to create
professional quality video animations using Magic Move I should first quickly show you how Magic Move works
First thing to know is that Magic Move is a type of transition
Transitions are effects you can use to move from one slide in your presentation
to another. So for example, I have these two slides here in the Slide Navigator
now if I play this
from this slide, this first slide by going up to the top bar and hitting the Play button here
You'll see we have the first slide
Then when I Left-Click or press the Forward Arrow key to move forward through the presentation
it jumps or cuts to the next slide and
That's the default transition between slides and Keynote, a cut.
I just hit Escape to get out of that
But there are a whole bunch of other
transitions to choose from in
Keynote. To select a transition head to the Slide Navigator and select the slide you want to transition from
then head over to the top right of the interface and
press the Animate button
Then below here in the Animate Panel
under Transition Effect click the Add Effect button and
you'll get this extensive collection of transition effects to choose from and
for convenience, you can
preview each of the different transitions right here in the transition panel
by clicking on the preview text beside each of the transition effects
So you can see that little droplet transition there. What we're interested in is up here, and that's
Magic Move
Now Magic Move is in the transition collection, but it is very different from the other transitions
It doesn't just move from one slide to another it creates the effect of
objects on the first slide
transforming and moving to new positions on the next slide. Let's create a magic move transition
so you can see how this works. So
I'll use this slide over here as an example
Now as you can see
this slide has several objects on it. It's a bunch of shapes that are different colors. Now
the easiest way to create a magic move transition is to first
duplicate the slide you're transitioning from
So I'll do this with this slide
I'll duplicate it by making sure it's selected in the Slide Navigator
Then I'll Right-Click or you can Control-Click and select
Duplicate
Okay, now my duplicate slide is
selected and it's up here in the editing interface, so I'm gonna do is just
move around these shapes just
modify them a little bit and make this one a little bigger
Move this over here, and maybe this square. I'll actually
change the color and I'll do that by going up and hitting the Format tab going to the fill, the Color Fill and
selecting a different color
Okay, so now I've
adjusted these shapes and changed the colors
So now I'll go back to my original slide here in the Slide Navigator
making sure it's selected
One thing to keep in mind is make sure that none of the objects on the slide are selected
Because if you do that, and you go up to animate, you'll get the Build
interface, and we want to have the Transition interface so I'll click off of the slide to deselect objects and you can see here
you get the Transition
menu. So with the transition mode selected here I'll click add effect
Magic Move
And you just saw the little preview there of Magic Move. Let's see this again fullscreen, so I'll play this
by heading up and
clicking the Play button and
here's our original slide
with the Magic Move transition applied. I'll click the Forward Arrow to move to the next slide
The objects animates smoothly
to the new positions and orientations and change colors on the next slide
Just press Escape to get out of that
So the Magic move transition acts very much like the traditional keyframe animation, you'd find in
applications like
Adobe After Effects for example
So the first slide is like the first keyframe and the next slide is like the second keyframe and Magic Move
smoothly animates
between
the two slides
But there's more you can do with Magic Move
For example, I'll use this slide here
It's very much our same
slide with shapes on it and what I'm gonna do is I'm going to delete this
object
from this slide, so I'll hit the Delete key
Now if you noticed I have a duplicate slide
I already duplicated it to do this Magic Move effect. So on this first slide I deleted the circle
It's still on the second slide. I'm going to select my first slide here
go up to the Transition effect Add Effect
Magic Move
You saw the preview that happened? So let's see this in full-screen, so I'll go to... I already have my first
my first slide selected, so that's good. I'll go up and hit the Play key
So here's my first slide where I deleted
the sphere or the circle rather the colored circle. I'll press the Forward Arrow key
and the circle fades in. I'll hit Escape to get out of this
So with Magic Move any
object that appears on the second slide
like our circle here, but is not present on the first slide of the Magic Move transition
fades in as we saw. I'll just play this again
Hit the Forward Arrow Key
Fades in
Hit Escape to get out of that and into the editing interface
Now this little move actually works the other way as well, so let's go to our second slide
We're actually on it right now and
I'm going to delete this red square on our second or our duplicate slide
So I've got it selected and I'll hit Delete
Okay, let's go back to our first slide by selecting it in the Slide Navigator and
let's go up and play and
We'll go through the magic move transition again. So here's our first slide
I'll hit the Forward Arrow Key
See that
The red Square faded out and our yellow circle faded in. Hit Escape to get out of that again
So in Magic Move any objects appearing on the first slide
but not on the second slide
fade out
Magic Move is most effective when
both slides include at least one common object whose position or appearance has been changed
Like other effects in Keynote
Magic Move has a number of settings you can adjust
So we'll go back to our slide here with the Magic Move effect, and we'll move over to the right
panel, the transitions panel you can see all of these settings
So we'll start up here and we have the Change button. This is where you can change the transition
from the Magic Move transition, you can choose another transition, or you can hit None and
remove a transition effect all together
Preview allows you to preview the Magic Move transition. If we hit that
you can see a preview of our little transition there which is handy
You don't always have to run a slideshow to see your Magic Move transition in action
Below that we have
Duration which allows you to set how long the Magic Move transition takes in
seconds
Then we have this check box below Duration called Fade Unmatched Objects
Let's go back to my example slides here
to see how that Fade Unmatched Object setting works. So remember with these slides I deleted the
yellow circle shape on this first slide and I deleted the
red square on this slide, and we did the Magic Move transition. Let's play that again so you can see
I'll just go fullscreen. I'll hit the Play button
hit the Forward Arrow key and
We see our Magic Move happens with a nice fade in and fade out
Just hit Escape to get out of that
I'm gonna go back to my first slide with the Magic Move transition applied to it
I'm gonna head over and I'm gonna uncheck the Fade Unmatched Objects setting and
show you what happens. So that's unchecked. I'm gonna go back up
to the Play button
Press it
Now here's our first slide. I'm going to hit the Forward Arrow key
and
The square just popped off and this circle just popped on
So that's what that
setting..
I'll just go back and bring up this slide
That's what this setting Fade Unmatched Objects does
It toggles between a smooth fade or hard cut for unmatched objects on the two slides
So I'll just set that back to the fade by checking that checkbox
The Match settings let you choose how you want Magic Move to transition between slides
By Object is the default which means Magic Move will operate on separate objects like an
image a block of text or a shape
By Word
moves one or more words on the first slide two new positions on the second slide
I'm just going to select that now
I've got a couple of example slides to show you how the By Word setting works
So here's this slide
I put together and you can see there's a very simple sentence on this first slide
And you can see that I have the Magic Move
transition set with the By Word
setting selected. So I'll play this first slide
by going up and
hitting the Play button so you can see this full screen. So here's our sentence on the first slide
Then I'll move to the next slide by pressing the Forward Arrow key and watch what happens
The words in the sentence on the first slide
rearrange themselves to form a new sentence on the second slide
Hit Escape to get out of that
Pretty interesting effect. Imagine having to
manually animate each one of those words? To complete that effect with Magic Move
it's pretty simple. You just rearrange the words on the second slide
So here's our first sentence on the first slide, and then I just rearranged the words
on
the second slide and used the Magic Move transition with the
By Word setting
By Character
moves one or more characters on the first slide to new positions on the second slide
Again, I'll show you an example. So I've got two slides over here
Here's my first slide and as you can see I have the Match Move transition applied to this slide with the
By Character setting applied, so let's go up and play this slide. I'll go up and hit the Play button
Okay, so here's our first slide with the two words. I'll hit the Forward Arrow key and watch what happens
The letters or characters on the first slide
rearrange themselves to form the words on the second slide
I'll hit Escape to get out of that
One condition with the By Character
setting. For the Magic Move to work each character must be in its own
textbox. So if I select these letters you'll see each of the letters is
in their own textbox
So that's the way that Magic Move can animate the individual letters, they have to be set apart in their own textbox
Okay, let's click off of this slide to get back to our Magic Move
transition settings. Now below Match we have
Acceleration
This setting changes the quality of the transition. So again, I have an example to show you how this works
We'll go over to my first example slide over here and
you can see it's got a
circle shape and I duplicated this slide
Here's the duplicate
But I moved the circle down to the bottom-right corner. And on the first slide
the circle is in the top-left corner. So let's start with the default Ease-in and Ease-out
Acceleration setting. I'll head up, and I'll play this first slide
So here's our circle. I'll hit the Forward Arrow key
So with
Acceleration set to Ease In & Ease Out
the object gradually speeds up then gradually slows down
I'll hit Escape to get out of that
So now I'll select our first slide again, and I'll set the Acceleration to None
Let's see what that looks like. I'll move up and hit the Play key
or Play button, rather
Here's our circle. I'll hit the Forward Arrow key
The object starts suddenly then stops suddenly. That's with Acceleration set to None
Hit Escape to get out of that
Let's go back to our first slide with the Magic Move transition and let's select in
Acceleration, rather under Acceleration Ease In
Let's see what that looks like. I'll go up and hit Play
Here's our circle. Hit the Forward Arrow Key
The object gradually speeds up or eases into its move then stops abruptly at its final destination
Hit Escape
Go back to our first slide with the Magic Move transition and now under Acceleration let's try Ease Out
And we'll go up
Hit the Play button again. Hit the Forward Arrow key
With the Ease Out setting under Acceleration
the object starts abruptly then gradually slows down or eases out of its move and
into its final position
Hit Escape to get out of that
Ok let's go back to our first slide with the Magic Move transition and
let's check out these other settings below Acceleration. We have
Start Transition
The default is On Click which means the transition will start when you Left-Click or press the Forward Arrow Key
You click the drop down you can select
Automatically
With this setting the Magic Move transition will start automatically after the initial slide
or the first slide is finished all its animations
Now you can delay the automatic transition by entering in a time delay in seconds in this
Delay field
Now I should warn you about a gotcha when using Magic Move and that is it doesn't work well with grouped
objects. Let me show you what I mean
So I've got this
slide here in the Slide Navigator that contains two rectangles that are grouped with
text captions
Now I've got this duplicate slide
And on this slide, this second slide I've resized the rectangles and captions. Now
I'll go back to the first slide and select it
Then I'll go up and hit the Play button
Now I'll hit the Forward Arrow key to Magic Move to the next slide
Did you notice the strange double fade happening there?
Not the look I'm going for with this animation, and that's because the shape and the text in our example are grouped
So I hit Escape to get out of that
So I'll go back to my first slide and
I'll ungroup these objects by selecting them Right-Clicking and
selecting Ungroup
And then I'll do that on the second slide as well, just to make sure
Let's go back to the first slide and
let's play it from here with the objects ungrouped. So I'll hit the Play button up here
Hit the Forward Arrow key
Now the move happens as expected. So something to be aware of when using the Magic Move transition
grouped objects may not behave as expected
Now that you've seen how Magic Move works
I'm gonna wrap things up by showing you how to easily create a professional quality video effect using
Magic Move, and that effect is the Ken Burns Effect
Pioneered by the famous award-winning documentary filmmaker, Ken Burns. I think you'll recognize it as soon as you see it
So for this example I've got two slides down here in the Slide Navigator
So on this first slide of the example. I have an image. It's a high-resolution image that's been zoomed in
I'll go up to the Zoom settings up here and
I'll zoom out. I don't know 50 percent. Maybe
75 or 25 percent. You can see
this image has been zoomed in to this area here. So this is the first
keyframe, if you will, of this Ken Burns Effect
And then on the second Slide I
have the image more or less zoomed out to full. So I'll just go up and just
fit that to the slide so you can see that a little better, so that's our second slide
So back to our first slide and basically I just rearranged or rather sized these
images just
by selecting them here and you can just drag the little square and you can resize there and
that's how you do that. So I did that on the first slide and then on the second slide
I just put it to more or less
fill the frame. Alright so back to the first slide and
we have Magic Move applied, the Magic Move transition as you can see here and
I've put the Duration to 12 seconds because I want a long move and
it's By Object and the Acceleration is Ease In & Ease Out because I want a smooth start and finish and
just for the sake of this demonstration it's set to On-Click
So let's play this and you can see this in action so I'll go up to the Play button
So here's our first slide zoomed into this object in the image. I'll hit the Forward Arrow Key
We get this nice smooth
dramatic pan and zoom effect into the image on the second slide
This is the Ken Burns Effect
and it's used quite extensively in
professional television productions. Now the Ken Burns Effect is just one example of the kinds of professional level video animations
you can create using Magic Move
I'm sure after seeing how Magic Move works your brain is probably cooking with all kinds of ideas
of how to put it to work in your next keynote-based video
Now if you're not sure how to turn your Keynote animation into a video
I highly suggest you watch my tutorial "How to Make Videos with Apple Keynote"
I'll put a link to that video in the description below and as always if you found value in this video
