How to Create a Lightbox Effect - Keynote Presentation Hack


hey what's up this is pat flynn from
smart passive income calm and in this
video i'm going to show you how to
quickly create a lightbox effect in your
keynote presentation so you can
highlight certain parts of your
presentation just like this alright
let's check it out alright so here I am
in keynote i just opened a brand new
keynote document here it's 1280 by 720
of course it could be any size that you
wish depending on the size of the
presentation that you're going to be
giving so I'm just going to delete these
double click to edit because there's not
going to eating any text here what I'm
going to do is I'm going to take a
screenshot from my own website and I'm
going to place it right in the keynote
presentation and I'm going to show you
how I highlight a certain part of this
screenshot that I take so I'm going to
take a screenshot here and the way I do
that here and on the Mac is I hit
command shift 4 and I can just drag and
drop this box around and it doesn't have
to be exact but I'm just going to let go
so what it's going to do it's going to
copy it to my desktop as you can see
here so what I'm going to do is I'm
going to go back to keynote and I'm
going to drag that screenshot right here
into the first sort of frame or slide
here and if you just if you have snap
guides on it'll it'll Center it nicely
for you just like that now the next step
is to quickly just duplicate it and to
do that you can right click here on the
first slide and click on duplicate and
the reason you're doing that is because
we're going to be transitioning from
this slide to the second slide which is
where we're going to highlight it and
you'll see how that transition works in
a second but the next up here on the
second slide is you want to actually
copy ctrl C or command C and Reap aced
it on so you actually have two copies
one on top of another and you can just
lay them right on top of each other you
want to be exactly on top of each other
just like that and then what we're going
to do is you're going to hit this mask
button and what this does is it allows
you to create a section of the layer
that's on top the screenshot that's on
top and what it's going to do is
actually going to only include that part
that you include in the mask so what I
mean by that is
let's say I complete this mask and then
I delete the the second one in the back
you can see it only leaves that one on
the front layer so I'm going to cut
command Z to undo what I undo what I
just did there now what I'm going to do
on this particular slide I'm going to
open up the inspector and I'm going to
go to this second tab here which is
called the slide tab and I'm going to go
to appearance and I'm going to make the
background color fill black so I'm going
to slide this all the way to black and
you're not going to see any changes on
your screen right now but the reason we
do this is because we want to have the
background be dark so it has a nice
lightbox effect so it darkens the
background instead of lightens it and it
really put makes the section that you're
trying to highlight pop so for example
if I go to this fifth tab here called
the graphic inspector and I click on
that and I make sure that the background
not the mask is clicked on I can move
the opacity down just a bit and you'll
see it starts to darken the screen
behind it or the second layer that is
behind this mask that we just created
now if you need to adjust the mask you
can actually just click on this and
click Edit mask and you can sort of
increase or decrease the size of the
mask that you want but I'm going to keep
it as is and what I'm going to do here
is going to make sure that the opacity
of the background is at 25% you can
darken it or lighten it a little bit
more if you wish but I'm going to keep
it at 25% then I'm going to highlight or
click on the mask I'm not going to move
anything but I'm going to click on
stroke here on the same fifth tab the
graphic inspector and I'm going to put a
frame around it so I go to a stroke
picture frame and then I'll make sure
that it's on this one down here on the
lower left which is sort of the blurred
sort of a blending sort of frame so I'm
going to click on that and you can play
around with the scale a little bit to
make sure it just highlights it exactly
how you want it and again you can edit
the mask at any time so it'll change it
for you if you wish and now you'll see
that I'll have a nice slide here from
one to two so the question is how do we
make the nice sort of sliding transition
between this slide here which is our
original slide and then this one here
which is the mask that
we've created a frame around the blurred
frame with the darkened background and
the way we do that is we go to the first
slide you go to the second tab here in
the inspector called the slide inspector
and you go to transition and then you
click on effect and then dissolve and
you'll see a preview of the dissolve
effect here if you want to read if you
want to see it again you can click on
this preview screen and it'll keep
playing it for you and you can decrease
or increase how quickly that dissolve
happens and then you can just click play
and play slideshow and you can see that
effect just like we saw in the beginning
and of course you can rewind this video
or go step by step through it to see
exactly the steps we did to make it
happen and you can do this for any sort
of slide it works great for any you know
thing you want to point out on a
particular website that you have up
whether it's your own or when you're
trying to highlight while you're
teaching something to your audience
again it's a great slick way to
highlight something on your slides it's
going to really impress people and
people might not come up to you and say
oh wow that transition was awesome
they're probably not going to do that
but it's going to really help fine tune
and just really take your slide
presentation to the next level so I hope
you enjoyed that tip and yeah I'll see
