Chapter 12. What Is the Best Way to Give My Presentation?

The traditional way to deliver a presentation is in person, using a computer and perhaps an external projector, and Keynote gives you a full suite of tools to do this, as well as a way to provide your audience with informative handouts. Keynote also lets you create a presentation that plays automatically, which is great for a kiosk at a trade show or similar event, or for sharing a presentation in a host of other ways. For example, you may want to produce a PowerPoint slide show or a QuickTime movie from your Keynote presentation; share it via the Internet as Web pages, PDF files, or image files; turn a slide show into a podcast; or simply publish it directly from Keynote to YouTube.
