Apple continues to improve and add new features to the iWork trio of applications. In this short video, Don takes you through adding live video sources to your Keynote presentation so your viewers can see you as well as your iOS or iPadOS device, if you so choose.

Don also demonstrates the multi-user presentation feature using two Macs, showing you how two people can collaborate and share responsibilities while doing a presentation.

Apple's decision to completely rewrite its iWork suite of apps way back in 2013 brought with it numerous changes to the overall feature set of those programs. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are still being updated frequently, bringing back features that had been removed, and introducing some new functionality.

In this episode, Don takes a look at the new features added since his last look back in 2019.

Apple is continuously improving Pages, Numbers and Keynote by adding in new features or adding back functionality that had been removed from the original versions several years ago.

In this tip video, Don takes a look at some of the common features implemented in the most recent iOS release, as well as some app-specific features.

Following on from the recent update shows, a final quick update on Pages, Number and Keynote.

In this tip video, Don takes a look at some changes to Smart Annotations and Drawing in Pages, as well as the common changes in Charting and the support for displaying LaTeX or MathML equations across all of the iWork Apps.

The iWork suite of Pages, Numbers and Keynote has been updated to allow you to record audio clips into your word processing document, spreadsheet or presentation slide, directly from your iPad or iPhone.

In this tip video, Don shows you the common method for creating and editing these clips.

In addition, he also demonstrates how these clips are presented and can be replaced or updated in the macOS versions of the apps. You can also include audio in those, but it's necessary to record your audio externally - at least for now!

Following on from the recent Pages 2018 update tutorial, Don explores in this week's tutorial the 2018 updates to Numbers and Keynote, Apple's spreadsheet and presentation applications.

Numbers

As Apple have rewritten all of the iWork applications with the same code base, many of the new features are present in all three applications. With Numbers, some specific improvements have been made to controlling the import of external files on both the Mac and iOS, as well as some long-overdue enhancements to sorting and filtering in the iOS version.

Keynote

The Mac version of Keynote receives all of the standard updates delivered with Pages and Numbers including new shapes, image galleries and collaboration, and more. Most notable however is the addition of Apple Pencil support in the iOS version, along with the ability to animate line drawings on your slides. No Apple Pencil? Then you can use your finger!

Time for an update show this week, with updates to some of our favourite apps!

Keynote is Apple's premier presentation software application.

Along with Pages and Numbers, Keynote has been updated and enhanced with multiple features since a major rewrite several years ago.

In this episode, we take you through the core functionality of Keynote on both the Mac and iOS, and explore the many new features this latest update brings.

The third and final application in the revised iWork suite - Keynote - Apple's cinematic presentation tool.

In this second of a two part series, I take a look at animating multiple objects on a slide as well as exploring some of the specific table and chart animation effects, including the new Magic Chart effect.

The Presenter's Display is a fantastic tool, and has been updated with some great new features including the ability to rehearse and time your presentation in real time, viewing all your slide transitions and builds as well as taking notes - all at the same time!

With the new iCloud integration, you can open the same files on your Mac and iOS device, and even play your presentation from the web in a browser!

Keynote still remains one of my favourite applications.

With the release of full iCloud support in Mountain Lion, we can now start using “Documents In The Cloud†as it was intended. As well as the new OS, Apple simultaneously released new Mac and iOS versions of their iWork applications - Keynote, Pages and Numbers.

Whilst not containing any new functionality, the new versions of the Apps allow for the seamless transfer of documents and files between iWork apps on OSX and iWork apps on iOS.

So this tutorial is the second to explore the hidden depths of iWork on iOS - finishing off the introductory look at KeyNote for iOS. Many people, myself included, have not adopted the iOS iWork apps due to the difficulties of file transfer. Now that has been resolved, iWorks on iOS becomes a credible tool, and you may be surprised at just how capable they are.

This show covers the old version of of the application - an updated version of the tutorial is being planned!

Keynote? - One of my absolute favourite applications!

Well, Apple have just released the latest update as part of the iWork '09 suite and now we have Keynote '09.

Even though the application has only been out for a week, I thought I'd abandon my plans for this weeks and do a new tutorial on this amazing piece of software.

More iWork 08 goodness this week as I take a look at some of the new features in Keynote 08, Apples fantastic presentation application. Keynote 3 was great but Apple have added in some additional features that really take Keynote to the next level. It's one of those applications that make you thankful you're a Mac user and might even just make those business users sitting on the fence make the final leap!

There is already a full ScreenCastsOnline tutorial on Keynote 3 covering some of the basic functionality so this week's show focusses on the new and improved elements within Keynote 08. The show also takes a more advanced approach on how you can configure the new features to create even more sophisticated and impressive effects!

Following on from the recent Pages 2 screencast, this weeks screencast covers the other application included in the iWork 06 suite from Apple. Yes, it's the amazing presentation package Keynote 3.

In this screencast I'll show you the basics of setting up a Keynote presentation and demonstrate some of the fantastic templates and effects available. You'll be suprised at just how powerful this package really is, just ask Al Gore!
