Sunrise to Sunset Animation

an iPad QuickLesson by Jacob Woolcock

For this #QuickLesson we’re going to learn how to create some stunning animations in Keynote using the Magic Move tool. We’ll start by building a day time scene with green hills, a sunny blue sky with a few little clouds. Then using the Magic Move we’ll animate a sunset and transition into a night time scene and then back to day again the next morning. With this technique the possibilities for animation in Keynote really are endless. Lastly I’ll remind you how to export what you’ve created as a movie to share elsewhere.
