SESSION DESCRIPTION

You need to animate some text. It needs to be flashy. It needs to be colorful. And, most importantly, it needs to be done yesterday. Apple Keynote to the rescue!

Yes, Keynote. Apple’s free presentation software does an EXCELLENT job at animating text for video. Faster than Motion, much deeper than Final Cut or Premiere and, best of all, video exports work in Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro; as well as Avid, DaVinci Resolve and any NLE that accepts QuickTime movies.

Join Larry Jordan as he shows you how to:

  • Create animated text in Keynote
  • Examine different text formatting and animation options
  • Export animated text as video
  • Edit Keynote animations in Final Cut Pro
  • Edit Keynote animations in Premiere Pro

If you are looking for a new tool to animate your text on a new level, this webinar shows how Keynote can change your visual life.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This is an intermediate-level session. You don’t need to know anything about Keynote, but some knowledge of either Final Cut or Premiere will be helpful.
