Using Media Placeholders
Many Keynote themes contain placeholder photos. These photos are actually “media
placeholders.” You can drag your own images, movies, and audio files to these
placeholders, and your media file is automatically sized and positioned for you. You can
easily replace an item in a media placeholder by dragging a new file to it; you don’t
have to delete the old file first. You can also turn any media file on a slide into a
placeholder.
If you’re not sure if a photo or other media on a slide is a placeholder, let the pointer
rest over it, and see if a help tag appears instructing you to drag your own media file
to it.
Here are ways to work with media placeholders:
m Drag a file from the Media Browser, Finder, or other application to the media
placeholder.
To open the Media Browser, click Media in the toolbar. Click a button at the top of the
window to look for audio files, images, or movies.
m To change the content of a media placeholder, drag a new media file to the existing
one.
Second, choose a source.
First, click a button to
access your media files.
Third, drag an item to the
document or to an image
well in one of the
Inspectors.
