What’s New in Keynote 3

Keynote 3 provides new features that help you create attractive, compelling

slideshows.

Â

New themes

Use Apple-designed themes for presentations, storyboards, and self-running

presentations. Apply new HD themes with 16 x 9 aspect and pixel dimensions of

1920 x 1080.

Â

3D-rendered charts with animations

Show off results in realistic and beautiful 3D charts, apply multiple different light

styles for different reflections, and create beautifully 3D-rendered bar, line, and area

charts of 2D data. View charts in wood grain, metal, and other textures. Use the 3D

Rotation Angle wheel for complete control of chart viewing angle.

Â

Cinematic animations with interleaved builds

Captivate the audience with cinematic slide transitions, interleaved graphic builds,

and text animations. Create a cinematic experience with new, animated slide

transitions. Draw attention to tables, charts, images, and text with new build

effects: blinds, swoosh, and speedy. Interleave builds of bulleted text, tables, and

even charts in any sequence and by groups of items, such as bullets or bullet

groups, table rows or columns or cells, images, and more.

Â

iPhoto-like image adjusting

Obtain the perfect visuals by fine-tuning image appearance. Adjust brightness,

contrast, exposure, saturation, hue, sharpness, and light cutoff levels separately on

any image right within Keynote. View immediate changes to image settings and

easily revert to your original.

Â

New shapes and Bézier drawing with smooth curves

Add shapes like polygons or stars, or draw custom shapes with curves, right within

Keynote. Draw completely custom shapes with smooth paths using Bézier curves,

and fine-tune Bézier shapes by changing curve angles or even by adding new curve

points. Add predrawn shapes such as stars and editable polygons.
