Adding Audio

In Keynote ’08, you can use a song from your iTunes library as a soundtrack that starts playing when your presentation starts.

To add audio:

  1. From any slide in your presentation, click the Inspector button in the Keynote toolbar.
  2. Click the Document Inspector button in the Inspector window.
  3. Click Audio to display the Audio pane.
  4. In the Audio pane, click the iTunes Library button. Keynote opens the Media browser and displays the contents of your music library.
  5. Drag the track or playlist you want to use from the Media browser into the Audio well in the Document Inspector.

Use the controls in the Document Inspector to set the volume level of the soundtrack. If you’d like the music to play throughout your presentation, choose Loop from the pop-up menu. The music will repeat until the presentation ends. You can also have it play once or turn it off completely.
