Re: [applekeynote] Editing members of a group

There are times when I want to manipulate actions on a slide, but I don’t want to have all the builds, just the end product. On occasions, especially when I’m just wanting a part of a slide, it’s easier to do a screenshot and superimpose it, then do all the manipulations. Especially useful if you want things to pass between layers (ie behind one layer and over another) to create an interesting “it’s here one moment, gone the next”.

On one slide in a show on treating fearful flyers, I have an arrow go behind the picture of a patient’s head, and out the other side, as if to see the advice some patients get from their therapists goes “in one ear and out the other”. So I use a screen shot of a section, superimpose it to create a layer, then bring the arrow with the words on it behind the headshot and out the other side to visually display the idea as well as saying it – quite effective.

One consideration when making multiple slides to facilitate complex
builds is what the final product looks like for the purpose of
printing slides as handouts.

Question:  What does Les mean by a screenshot?  I think of that as an
image file created by dragging a box while holding down shift-cmd-4.
When I create builds with multiple slides I just duplicate the slide
and then manipulate the objects and builds.
