iWork 06' - Keynote question
I'm sure many of you have seen Steve Jobs apple keynote.
I recently purchased iWork 06' and installed it and was wondering, in the Steve Jobs keynote, he would be discussing something, then the things he wasn't talking about would kind of fade. They wouldn't fade away, they would still be there, just kind if transparent, and the stuff he was talking about would be in the full blown big and bright text.
I'm wondering, how do I do that? I think it's a very cool effect, and would like to use it.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Putzing with this for a second, I think this is it.
Sadly, none of your suggestions worked
The only one that does is the new slide, but that seems a bit tackey.
Anyone else?

Or, on second thought, have two identical consecutive slides. The second uses a modified transparency, the fade from the first slide to the second is a dissolve.

yes, this should work. each new slide has the lesser items faded back/set to transparent, and then set the transition between the slides as "dissolve" i think.
p.s. yes, i just tried it, and it works. set up the series on one slide, with everything 100% transparent. then duplicate the slide (option dragging is a good way). select all the slides, and in the inspector, select "dissolve" under the 2d effects transition. now every slide is set with a dissolve transition whenever you click during the presentations. problem is, since they're all the same slide, you never see any change. the trick now is to go back to your slides, and adjust the visibility of whatever you want screened back on each slide. now when you present the show, you will fade from one item to the next, in whatever order you specified.

Again, I'm away from Keyonote, but it sounds like you want to make sure the transition between slides is somewhat apparent-- is there a "fade through black" transition available? I seem to recall that fade through black will seem dissolve-like, but somehow punctuate the transition...
