Proclaim 1.31 Keynote Presentations are No longer full screen

I just did the 1.31 update (1.31.0.0806) and our keynote imports no longer display in full 16:9 screen. I believe they are still 16:9 but the slides no longer fill the screen as they have done in the past.

Is this is bug? Any suggestions on a fix for this Sunday?

Thanks for the help.

Here's some more info...

1. Previous Service Presentations still display old imported Keynote presentations in full-screen. It appears therefore that something may be happening in the upload process that is reducing the size of the slides. (The upload of the keynote presentation was much faster in Proclaim 1.31)

2. May be related or not.... I checked my Keynote document settings and it IS in widescreen 16:9. However, interestingly, when I changed it to 4:3 and then back again to 16:9, the slides in keynote did not return to full-size (very similar to how they are being displayed now in Proclaim) and I had to resize the images in Keynote, or re-import them again into the slides.

I doubt that the upload process to Proclaim is converting my Keynote 16:9 slides to 4:3 then back again to 16:9, but if it did, the results might be very much like what is happening.

Here is a screen-shot of the Keynote slides as they are presently being imported...

3. The only fix I have found is to create a Proclaim Announcement or Content slide and import all of the slides individually. But this defeats the purpose of being able to import Keynote Presentations.

Thanks again for your help in finding a solution.

Dave-

The importing of Keynote presentations has not changed with this release. When you import a Keynote into Proclaim, we simply run an apple script to open Keynote and have it export all slides as images to a temp folder, then add all those images to an Image Slideshow service item.

As a work around for this weekend:

1. Open your Keynote presentation in Keynote

2. Run File-> Export To -> Images... from the Keynote menu

3. Follow the export wizard and choose a folder to save all these files

4. Create an Image Slideshow service item in Proclaim

5. Click the Add images button and choose 'Upload'

6. Select all (you can multi-select all the files in one folder) the images you just exported from Keynote.

I'll follow up with an email to see if you can send me your keynote presentation to experiment with.

Thanks Glenn. I can import the images this week as you suggested.

I've been uploading the same keynote presentation each week for over a year. I basically delete an old announcement and add newer ones.

Perhaps there was a Keynote update that has changed something.

Hi Glenn,

The image slideshow is actually worse than the Keynote import. The slideshow option displays a white bar above and below and a black bar to the left and right, while at least the Keynote import was black on all sides. I know you guys are working on it Thanks!

I'm pretty confident the issue is related to the Keynote update and/or the new OS X El Capitan update, so there will be others with the same issues as they upgrade their Mac software.

BEST SOLUTION FOR NOW: I will plan to use the Content or Announcement Slide Options in Proclaim for this week. Dave

Apple has definitely messed up something on their end with the update to Keynote.

When I use the "Export as Images" function in Keynote the images are not even usable with white bars above and below, as you can see in this screen shot of the exported images in Finder:

Hey Dave, I just tried on my end. Looks like a bug with the new Keynote. I'm going to follow up with you via email. I think I have a solution for you.

This is not just a Keynote issue, whenever I try to upload a PP presentation from my IMac Proclaim not upload it. I used the services work around and that works for Keynote better than earlier suggestions, using that workaround file I got my full 16x9 image size
