Most Mac users know that you can create good looking presentations with Apple Keynote, which comes pre-installed on every Mac. But only a few know that animations made with Keynote can also be exported in various video formats.

In fact the export options that Apple added to Keynote will let you create videos you can upload directly to Youtube or other platforms in the web.

You can also export them in formats that are usually only found in professional video applications like After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or Premiere Pro.

That is why it's a great idea to learn how to create animations in Keynote. It is easy to get started and you can master the program in a much shorter time than you could with animation tools like Adobe After Effects.

We'll start this course with an introduction to animation in Keynote. We’ll learn what types of media can be animated in Keynote and how. This includes images, vector shapes, video and sound effects.

With these new skills we move on to create a number of animations you can use in your videos and presentations. Ranging from “lower thirds” to cinematic effects.

We will also create an animated subscribe button in the YouTube style.

Finally we learn how to animate maps and create all kinds of path animations. The examples we build are an intercontinental flight and a car ride in a New York City.

With the skills you learn in this course you will be able to create all kinds of animations yourself. And you can do so much fast than you could if you had to learn complicated tools first.
