Keynote - Notes

From MusicTechWiki

Image Formatting

  1. go with 1920x1080, transcode down to 720p for Internet video
  2. Images/Photos:
    • Edit in Photoshop or Apple Preview
    • scale down to 1024px in length a/o width,
    • save as PNG or JPG, run through ImageOptim (free) to reduce file size
    • then import into Keynote.
    • Do NOT reduce file size in Keynote. Keep the original Photoshop files separately...
  3. Diagrams:
    • Use Omnigraffle Pro for detailed diagrams.
    • Keynote, if diagram needs animation.
    • Illustrator typically is overkill.
    • OmniGraffle can export both bitmap and vector-based.
