Adding Narration
You can record yourself talking about each slide. When you advance to the next slide
by clicking the mouse or pressing a key, your timing is recorded as well.
Note: Pointer movements are not recorded, but mouse clicks (if you click a link or a
movie, for example) are.
To record a slideshow:
1 If you’re using an external microphone instead of your computer’s built-in microphone,
connect the microphone and use the Sound pane of System Preferences to configure
the input settings.
2 Select the slide on which you want the recording to start.
About Adding Audio and Movie Files
When you add a media file—such as a sound or a movie—to a slideshow, the file is
saved as part of the document. This feature ensures that all elements of the slideshow
will play correctly if it is transferred to another computer.
To keep a document’s file size smaller, you can save your slideshow without copying
media files into the document. As long as you play the slideshow on the computer on
which it was created (or transfer the media files separately), the slideshow will play
correctly.
To learn how to save documents with or without media files, see “Saving a Document”
in Keynote Help or the Keynote User’s Guide.
