My FAVOURITE App EVER (Mac) | Presentations, Note-Taking & Design 

Thanks for watching! What would you like to see me make a tutorial on?

Yes ! We need these Keynote tutorials. RU-vid is lacking of very polished Keynote tutorials content. I always wondered for example how Apple was using Keynote for its presentation. How they animate things so it looks smooth, how they place images so it pops to the eyes of the viewer, how to organize a slide without having too much on screen (what are things to avoid), how they deliver that professional look. So yes ! Keynote tutorials is something I want ! ❤

A tutorial on animations would be amazing. Thank you so much for your work Samuel (greetings from France)

I genuinely don’t understand how you make such inspiring videos, I swear I have the urge to start creating as soon as the video ends. Looking forward for the tutorials!!!

It's crazy what's possible in Keynote. I love it. But not enough people know all the things you can do with it. Great work spreading the message Samuel!

You are really good at showcasing what Apple products are capable of. Note-taking became a fun task on my iPad, and this video has me giving Keynote a try, whereas I was always a PowerPoint user in the past.

Dear Samuel, The idea of tutorials is a great one. I cannot wait for the moment you start sharing them. And another idea could be to “share” in a platform (iCloud, Google Drive, …) your examples and creations for the user to download and play around. “Learning by doing”. Keep up the great work!!!

The bookmarks look amazing! To answer your question at the end, I would very much like to see a tutorial on how you design your slides because they look so professional and clean! How do you know what elements to put in and what to leave out for the specific project? I always get overwhelmed by the amount of features on keynote and want to use everything. 😅

Another comment 😄 You have a brilliant sense of design even if you don’t consider yourself to be a Graphic Designer ☺️ So I would love to see a tutorial about your thought process in creating a poster, flyer, bookmark or any other type of design. It look like you have a fantastic selection of fonts so it would be interesting to know how you choose a particular font for a project to convey your message.

Hi Samuel, today, I was looking through your old videos because I find them very inspiring. After using my iPad Pro 12.9“ 2nd generation for about 6 years, I just bought the iPad Pro 11“ M2. When looking through your old videos, I found a comment of mine from 2 years ago in which I asked you to make a video about your Keynote insights. A couple of hours later and the first video on my recommendation page is this video. Thank you!

I've been using Keynote since it came out to build incredible elements just like you, from ultra high end presentations to transparent video elements, to posters and more. So glad you are out there showing people how to do this for themselves, it's my favorite program as well and that is saying a lot considering I use 100's.

So, finally I have a video proof for the people who consider me a lunatic when I say that Keynote is THE BEST app for creative work. Been a longtime user of this app but got seriously into the commitment for this app since last 4 years and I’ve used it for my master’s degree work(thesis, dissertations, presentations etc), my freelancing work as an illustrator, storyboard artist, logo & graphic design, branding etc and simultaneous passion projects related to photography and designing. As rightly said, this app truly gives you the ability to flex your creative muscle by giving you a clutter free mind space by being simple but not limiting in any sense. Great video! ❤

something that an English teacher can do to make the English lesson so compelling .... a way to present the information in a different way that can excite the students. thanks for every thing man , much love.

Wow thank you Samuel! I'm actually blown away how easy of use Keynote is. I just downloaded it on my iPad and played a bit around. In combination with the Apple Pencil it's incredible how fast you can bring your ideas on paper and the fact that you can export the presentation in PowerPoint format is just awesome, because sometimes a PowerPoint is a must for some classes i have. TL;DR - yes please, more content about Keynote.

Those are just the types of presentations I'd love to create! You nailed them all. Such a wonderful series of slides, infographics, bookmarks, and pages and pages of eye-catching layouts! I love them all. I'd buy this tutorial from you! Thank you Samuel!!

YES PLEASE! I’m so glad I found this video and would love for you to do some tutorials. I had no idea Keynote could do all this. Love the bookmarks, business and social media presentations. Thank you Samuel.

Yes. All of it. Not kidding. All of it. Learning how to unlock our creativity is like learning how to gain a superpower. And you unlock our minds.

Using keynote from last 2 years in my everyday life and literally sometimes I make graphics for my client work videos from it It’s just something more than amazing ❤

Thank you for this amazing video and highlighting how amazing keynote can be. I’d love to see a video where you talk about the whole process when creating and designing a presentation, study notes, the book thing, etc. In general I’d love to see a tutorial series about everything you showed in the video. For contents businnes, economics and IT is most interesting to me since that’s my field of study :) much love from Germany x

This resonates a lot with me. I love Keynote so much. I use it to make visually attractive slides, to animate, to make titles and other things for videos, to design anything. It is just perfect for everything. Once I tried Keynote for the first time I never touched Power Point again. I was always terrified when making presentations for my class, but now I can make really cool slides that give me confidence for speaking in public. So yes, good video friend. And also, I love your stile soooooo much. I have so many things to learn with you . Thanks for sharing :)

Could you please make a video about Keynote, where you first explain the basics, so that one gets an overview of the app. Your videos are always helpful! Thanks❤😊

Samuel, if you’re going to start with a series of Keynote Tutorials it will boom for sure! I… We need it and nowhere currently you can find high quality tutorials. But you are absolutely capable of doing it! Be our hero!

Keynote + Motion 5 = Mind Blowing.

Every time I see your videos i get inspired!!! You say you're not a graphic designer but you work looks so clean and neat that, it is hard to recreate for a "regular" student standpoint. YES i certainly would love a Keynote tutorial as i have to make presentations to my class on various emergency medicine topics. If your tutorial can help me make them more visual and less wordy that would be awesome.

I love Keynote too, and use it for so many different things. Particular as a quick way of using it as a design app. I look forward to a tutorial that focuses on the way you use it to create the style you have. Keep up the videos, they’re awesome

I’ve been searching for a video like this one. It was great - thank you. I’m using Keynote in some of my designs for Print on Demand and have been wishing for more videos about its design capabilities.

hy Samuel, I want to tell you that I love your video and them inspire me soo much. You are special and before all I love you because of your simplicity and transparency. thank you for all.😘

Bro, you are imspiring me SOOOOO MUCH!!!! 😍 It’d be pleasure to watch tutorials from you, I definitely need them!

Yes! We need keynote animation tutorials. Specially how to synchronise recorded audio with animation. :)

Man, what anamazing video! I can’t wait to watch the tutorials, hope I can learn to do such beautiful presentations!!

Please do a video on how to take notes on keynote or on how you take them (with the different fonts etc.) and how you organise it and stuff!! I saw some of your notes in your videos and I could not believe that something like this is possible with keynote. And thank you for putting in all the effort and passion into your videos and always motivating us to do more and be creative with studying and learning new things!

Yessss key note tutorial LESS GO!! 🔥 from Africa

You are such a pro and I have some skills hahaha. Would love to see detailed tutorial on impactful presentation layouts and animations for business context and to do things like set up templates for journal / workbook pages to offer to clients. Most people currently do this in canva as many people have set up templates . Thanks so much! So appreciate your time in putting this together

Would love to see these tutorials! I’m especially interested in the animations and also in the possibilities to make social media content with keynote. Thanks for this great video, I look forward to the next ones!

Thank you … my mind is blowing up now with ideas

Yes please!! I would love to see anything you have to offer. The animations looked particularly interesting, specifically around 3:58. But like I said, I would love to see anything you offer because it all looked so great and I had so many questions. Like how are you getting your handwriting on there? And do you have other repositories where you get vector images or do you just use the ones included in the app? Thanks so much for this. The timing could not have been better because I’ve been struggling with the limitations of canva and trying to find a better alternative.

All of the above!! Marketing collaterals and short slide show based videos would be amazing!

It was during COVID-19 lockdown that one day I saw your video which had popped in as a recommendation from youtube, and I am glad that that had happened. From the very first video I have seen that your videos have amazing editing and that you can very very effortlessly and substantially explain an idea, whether it be through your videos or your notes. It would be amazing to see a tutorial on Keynote, how you play with the information, the colors the ideas on the pages. Also, every video of yours has an amazing background score and I would like ask where do you get hold such amazing music ?

Samuel, you are veeeerrrry cool mate...in a nerdy way. Thanks for your video, I must say I am inspired. I would like to learn anything you are willing to do a tutorial about. I use Keynote all the time in my presentations and, I too like my presentations to be compelling. Keep it up mate. And also, it is great to see an Aussie doing this stuff, and doing it so well.

This is the video I’ve been waiting for ❤ it.

Your work on Keynote is inspiring. I am latched onto the bookmark idea. A general outlined instruction would be very useful ! Keep up the good work !

Great sharing. Love Keynote, hands down. Your presentations and designs are beautiful!

Bro you are the definition of inspiration!

Hi Samuel! Once again, a brilliant video. As you asked about tutorials, I have a couple of requests: the animation features, and the different sizes of slides, such as when you used Keynote for Instagram stories. Thanks so much! I've shared your other videos with dozens of people over the years, and it looks like this'll be another one. Cheers!

I loveee this video! As someone who wants to create great notes I found the app that is perfect. Would love to see tutorials on how you create those excellent notes 🥰🥰🥰 Really appreciate seeing this videooo

Super impressed with Microsoft's Generative AI stuff and how they're bringing it into Powerpoint etc that I was thinking of switching back until I saw your video. Mind Blasted. Would love to see tutorials on how you approach a creative assignment that ends up in a beautifully designed visual doc/slides. As others have said, lots on PowerPoint, not many at all on Keynote. Thanks Legend! 🙏🍀

Hi Samuel, again a great video! Thank you so much. I totally agree and for me keynote is also one of the best apps ever! About tutorials: I think there are at least two aspects that are interesting: ' - one is about the design principles (regardless of the type of presentation or document) - second is about the functional aspects (how to animate, etc ...) Btw.: when I do not need animations, pages (in page layout mode) was my choice ... I guess functionality wise they are more or less the same? If not, maybe a comparison would be nice. Thank you once again for all of your uploads, I love every single of your videos!

Hi Samuel, I love your videos and your attitude about learning. I wish you had the time to post more often. I would love to see the process you used to create the study guide for your law class. Color choices, fonts, gradients, etc. Any tips on animations would be great, too. I am a retired physician and teach wellness topics to fellow seniors. I would love to produce a PDF for each presentation that was colorful and inviting. I love Keynote as well and use it for all my presentations and would like to take it to the next level.

I would love to see the Tutorial video in the future. Thank you so much for the review, Samuel.

This sounds incredible, would love to see some tutorials on this! Perhaps a topic on how you yourself learnt to use keynote (kinda along the lines of teach a man to fish vs give a man a fish - if you teach us how to learn to use keynote rather than give us the tutorials themselves, I think that would be great!)

It is amazing, Thank you Samuel, more videos please

Creating posters/boards!! please please please make a tutorial on this idea

Hey @SamuelSuresh thank you for sharing. A comprehensive tutorial that will cover researching, note taking, presentation, and slides animation 😊

This was quite a revelation - didn't think Keynote would be your go-to app. I think it's hidden gem in the Apple eco-system! I find it less intimidating that PowerPoint. I've made use of it to make very simple graphics for topology diagrams for work. It's really quite flexible, especially if you don't have expensive design software tools. There may be some cross-over with Pages as this does have page layout as well as classic word processing functionality. Although, I've not really made use of that myself. Demonstations would be really useful.

Yes we need a tutorials series next for keynotes and goodnotes 6 and kind of everything. Because you have always been for inspiration @SamuelSuresh

Yes, would love to see tutorials. Currently learning 2 languages and would love to make myself decks for self study.

yes! i would love tutorials for keynote!

Keynote is one of my favourite apps as well alongside with OmniGraffle. I would appreciate any videos about your design thinking process. Personally, I don't use animation at all and I think I can use Keynote efficiently already but I am always interested in the thinking process. How do you conceptualise? When and how do you use graphic metaphors and how do you choose them? Thank you so much!

Hey Samuel, Absolutely loved this video, than you so much for making it! I would love tutorials for making posters on Keynote.

I would love to see more study guide and note taking school related keynote videos!

What an inspiring video!! Thank you for sharing your work and give so many great use cases! Thank you!

Great video! Glad Keynote is getting the attention. I created a digital planner within the app, complete with hyperlinks!

Would love stuff on making different types of stuff for businesses like flyers, brochures and dynamic looking business cards. Also chart presentations that use fun animations 😊. This is very inspiring.

I'd love to see a comparison of what's possible in Keynote vs. Powerpoint and Google Slides. I use Google Slides almost exclusively now because sharing is so easy. But I'd love to be convinced to switch to Keynote if it has a lot of capabilities that Google Slides doesn't.

I would love to see a tutorial ! But I don’t know about which feature because every single one of them seems to be useful and you seem to master them all 😅🤩

Thanks of this video! Im going to be presenting my graphic design work thru keynote! more tutorials!

I would love you to teach us how you use Keynote tools to craft your thinking using it to design whatever it is you design. I personally use Keynote a lot to make presentations, but using it as a design noting tool is a very interesting and unique take on it. I absolutely love your videos. Thanks.

Definitely need these Keynote tutorials

Well done! I can't agree more with you. I have been an instructor of Human Anatomy - Physiology and love love love Keynote. As you said, it is not just a presentation tool. Did you use your phone as your 'clicker'? Always impressive too! The magic transition is another fav of mine in presentations. Samuel, I say share a presentation production of yours!

I use Keynote for digital scrapbooking. It is fantastic! I would love to see your take on digital memory keeping. I also use it to design digital planners with clickable links. I export the planner as a pdf and import it into GoodNotes. Thank you!

I can't believe I have been using a mac for over a decade and not been using this! I would love to see tutorial on how you create visual graphics using Keynote for Final Cut Pro if you have not already done so! Great content, love your videos! cheers

The best keynote feature i ever used for my presentation about an app i made was the screenshot from an iPhone connected by usb 🚀 Just like Steve Jobs would do it 🔥

Hey Bro, Yes, please , please make tutorials on Keynote 🙏. Loved it ❤. I would like to know which will be better - Keynote in ipad or keynote in mac ? I am not inrested in animations in Keynote.. 😊 But would like to see other tutorials as well on keynote 😀🙏🙏

It would be cool to see your breakdown of creating a stunning slide-deck for a presentation!

Hello Samuel! Thanks for the brilliant video. As a RU-vid medical educator, I would love to learn from you how we can create animations on Keynote! I always knew Keynote as an upgrade to Powerpoint, but now to glimpse its versatility - simply mind-boggling! 🤯

I want all the tutorials especially the animations part. I didn’t know keynote could do so much. I have used it but not the way you have used it. I want to capture my young audience students also. I thank you for all of your inspirational videos.

Thank you for another excellent content. Your videos are simply awesome. I would like to learn 1. Presentation (slides, use of graphics and photos) 2. Animation techniques 3. Dynamic graphs and 4. Overall finishing for a compelling presentation Thank you once again.

Wowwww❤‍🔥

Using Keynotes for your RU-vid Channel! Yes I want to see it.

All of the above Sam. Basics - how to do slides all the way up to animations

Yes for creating animations! Canva lacks that feature!

All of the above Samuel! Can you also share what mic you use and how you get your audio to sound so good 🙏🏻

Your videos are so stimulating and a breath of fresh air THANK YOU! Can you create a video about how you used keynote to create your notes for medical courses or science ones you showed on previous videos? Thanks!!!!

I absolutely love Keynote too. It’s definitely the most underrated app Apple has made. Tutorials would be great

Animations and designing slides with the best essential information needed without overwhelming it with text.

Yes we need tutorials .. mostly for animations that you showed in video are amazing .

dude!! yess thank you for saying this

Keynote design abilities with posters. I want to take my anchor charts in my classroom to a more engaging look.

Thanks u so much Samuel ❤,

I agree with everyone else. I have always loved your visuals in your videos, and think it would be awesome to see you create several tutorials for “Creating with Keynote!” (Good title huh?)

So positive vibes on your comment 🌟 would love to see any tutorial about Keynote.

A tutorial on basic designing and animation would be awesome :)

Samuel! Thank you. Tutorials for- 6:25 the poster there The vertical poster The bookmarks And how you transform a picture in a way that eases into the text or even the other way round. Thank you.

I’d love a tutorial on how to design slides for class presentations/lectures/studying with friends-including best practices, tips, etc. How do you approach slide design differently based on what you’re designing your slides for?

Yes, please make these tutorials for us! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Everrrrry thing literally ❤
