On the second frame I have a completely different video and I've also got that trimmed to be the first two seconds. On the first slide I have a video here and I have it set to trim to basically to the first two seconds of the video. Here I've combined two videos by putting two slides. So it's real easy to crop a video and create custom sizes. So when I export all I'm going to get is that. Just this portion of it is actually in the presentation area. I've put a video in and set it up so I'm not showing the entire video. I created a custom size here of 200 x 300. Then export it and it's just going to have that as part of it now. I can even add another one if I'm trying to promote a website or something. It's so easy to do since this is Keynote. You don't even notice there when it's actually going through the loop because the blade is hitting the same point there at the corner. Now if we check out this video we can see it loops really nicely. I'm going to make sure that Auto Advance is set to zero so there's no delay between the loop and I'm going to export this. So now a loop should make it look really nice. So you can see the blade is just before it gets to the corner there. I want to do it like one step before there. Now I don't want to do it right at the same spot because it will repeat that last frame. Let's get this next blade right at the same spot. So let's see if we can match that here at the end. I'm going to notice at the beginning here I can see this blade is right at that corner. With the video selected go to Format, then Movie, and go to Trim here. This is an ideal kind of video for looping. I'm going to zoom back out and I'm going to stretch this to fit perfectly in there. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on the background here and then go to Document and then Document and change the size to Custom Size here and then change it so that it's 640 x 480. Let's get rid of this video here and I'm going to bring in another one. We can even add text to it very easily since this is in Keynote. I can hit the spacebar for QuickLook to see a preview of it. So now I go to Next and I'll export this to the desktop. Auto Advance, I want to set that to zero because if I don't, if I leave it one second, it's going to put a one second delay at the end of the GIF so when it loops it will delay for a second at the end. I can also adjust the Frame Rate down to 15 frames per second and create a smaller file. You put them in text messages and things so I'll go with the smallest here. I can go smaller 720 x 405 480 x 270 and smallest. So I can create a very large, you can see here 1080 x 608, GIF. Now when I export there are a few options to look at. I can then go to Export, to only export that portion. So I can get it to that point, right there, and just capture a small portion of the video. So say I want to capture this first firework going off here. So with the video selected I go to Format, Movie, and then here you can see there's Trim. One of the things that I can do is I can trim this to get only the portion of the video I want. But I'm going to work on it a little bit. I could, if I want, create the animated GIF right now. So now you just have a single slide in a presentation that has video on it. You want to make sure you lock it there so it fills the entire screen. Now I'm going to drag and drop the video from the Finder right into Keynote. I'm going to zoom out so I can see the entire thing and get rid of the default text. I'm just going to use the standard black background there. Since it's a 16 x 9 widescreen video I'm going to use a wide theme. I'm going to create a presentation the same screen ratio as the video. So first make sure you're using the latest version of Keynote 9.0.2 because you want the ability to export as an animated GIF. Yes, I pronounce it GIF because as a guy named Gary I gotta go with GIF.Īlright. I do want to get one thing out of the way before we go any further. But thanks to Keynote's ability to export animated GIFs you can use it to take one of your videos and create a GIF without any additional software. There are plenty of good apps that can do it. Previously you'd need to buy an app to do this. So say you want to take one of your videos and create an animated GIF to share online because we all know what the internet really needs is more GIFs.
