We Are Not Finished with the Keynote Bundles: Meet Keynote Themes FX 5.0

“We [...] have Keynote Themes, Keynote Backgrounds, Keynote Carrots, Keynote Obamas, and Keynote Everything You Ever Wanted.”

We always wanted to quote ourselves. It’s like taking oneself to an embarrassingly high level, especially if a phrase, “as someone reeaaalllly smart once said,” is involved in the process.

Um, lost my train of thought. Oh right, the last component of our Keynote line has been updated, and, alas, it’s not Keynote Carrots (c). Keynote Themes FX proudly joined the fellowship of products that have recently had the digits with periods and zeros in their names upgraded, making an official comeback as Keynote Themes FX 5.0.

In case you forgot, the Keynote Themes FX bundle was produced for your high-toned presentations by people who without a doubt have a way with design. Thus, you can share your ideas, proposals, contracts, and solutions in a surprisingly elegant way (surprisingly for your audience because you are no longer surprised by the quality of our designs) to secure the best results. Don’t be worried about the live themes with motion backgrounds drawing your audience’s attention away from your message. Actually, the themes are here to help you set the most engaging and exciting mood without troubling yourself for more than three seconds.

The new bundle includes 15 themes: five fresh ones (Air Blobs, Crystal Clear, DNA Chain, Glass Beads, and Neuro Threads) and ten themes from the previous version. Each of them consists of 14 master slides, allowing you to choose the very best layout for your information every single time.

You don’t need to study a tutorial or to learn how to use these fancy themes of ours. Your previous experience with Keynote gives you everything you need to know. Just select a theme from the Chooser, apply it to your slides, and focus on the content. You can also conveniently export your presentation with Keynote Themes FX to QuickTime.

As usual, you can savor the samples here and purchase your own copy of Keynote Themes FX 5.0 here. You know, we’d really love to be in the audience when you use it!

Fight for Attention with Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0

Back in her days as a business school student, the author of this article would have been quite impressed to see an array of coins piling up and flying apart on a professor’s presentation slide. That would have been a lovely visualization of how the interbank money market works. Students may be harder to impress these days--a whole three years have passed, after all--but there’s no way even high-school kids could let a futuristic Hollywood-style light tunnel with only Will Smith lacking slip unnoticed. And if you can get *them* to look at your slides, there is no audience you cannot reach, mind you.

If you are wondering where to find this magical place where coins can fly and Will Smith can be omitted from a futuristic set containing the words “futuristic,” “tunnel,” and “light” in its description, we are not going to play the part of the unassuming ingénue: simply see Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0. It will make your presentations more engaging. Honestly.

Select one of 10 brand-new backgrounds or 25 classic, well-crafted backgrounds from the previous versions and observe how it instantly makes over your presentation. Go crazy--select all 40 of them for different slides if you want, although that might be a bit much. This package gives you the sublime power of capturing your audience’s attention and retaining it for as long as you wish. It will make you look wildly cool and professional to boot, if you can imagine such a combination.

To pour some life all over your slides, only four steps are required: buy, download, and unzip the package; then, apply your background as you would any other movie or image. In addition, Keynote Backgrounds FX 4.0 movies are prepared for looping to allow the endless playback of any of the backgrounds in the bundle. After choosing the QuickTime Inspector in Keynote, simply select "Loop" under the Repeat pop-up.
