Apple provides a wide variety of shapes in Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You can go way beyond just filling them with a solid color. You can edit the lines of a shape, combine shapes, use gradient fills, creative borders, shadows and much more.

Hey some great ideas there. Question - on the “Line Draw” effect. Is there any way to export that to FCP and use it for animating line drawing there? Appreciate all you do!
Juris: Yes. Just make it like you want in Keynote and use File, Export To, Movie.
In 10 yrs of Mac use, I've wasted a half year trying to figure out how to do things. I learn more in one minute of your videos than hours of research. You explain clearly, using plain language & I can how you get to where you are. I am beginning to feel in command. Thank you. You're the first person (& only so far) I have supported.
Superb! Thank you
I've created a shape with photo insert and want to save it to saved shapes but when I hit Format, the Shapes and Lines option is greyed out. Is there a way to activate it?
Rod: I think that is because you have filled it with an image.
Thanks Gary. Brilliant tutorial. I didn't realise the power of shapes within these Apps. Regards Mick
