So now that I've made the background invisible one of the cool things I can do is if I have multiple pieces of text I want to include in the video I can do them all in one Keynote document. If you don't do this you're just going to get a big black rectangle with some text in it. I need to click on the background, just outside of any element, and under Format I need to change the background for the slide layout for the document itself to No Fill.

So after I've got it looking like I want I need to do a very important step here. Do all sorts of things you normally couldn't do with text. I can change its color and I can even add outlines. Now I can set it to be any kind of font that I want. Even if I don't want the text to actually be this big in the video I want it to take up as much of this screen as possible. As a matter of fact I'm not going to be afraid to fill the space with it. I'm going to get rid of this sample text here and add my own text to it. I'm going to start with just the standard black template here. Now we want to choose a wide theme because that's going to be 16 x 9, the same ratio as most video.
