Adding a Movie or Animation
You can include movies within your slide presentation. You can place movies anywhere on a
slide so that they play within the visual context of the slide on which they appear.
To add a movie to a slide:
m Drag the movie file from the Finder to the slide canvas where you want it to appear, or
choose Edit > Place > Choose to browse for the movie file using the Choose dialog.
When your slideshow plays, the movie will start the moment this slide appears on the screen.
Note: When you add a movie to your slideshow, it remains external to your Keynote
document. If you transfer your slideshow to another computer or disk without also
transferring the movie, the movie will be lost from the slideshow. To prevent this, add the file
to the document when you save it, the same way you would for sound files. To learn how, see
“Including Sound and Other Media Types” on page 41.
Setting Media Playback Preferences
In the Media Inspector, you can set the playback volume for sound and movies in your
slideshow and choose to have the media files play through only once, repeat continuously,
or loop back and forth.
To set the media playback preferences:
1
Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar).
2
In the Inspector window, click Media to open the Media Inspector.
3
Drag the Volume slider to the right to increase the playback volume of your media file; drag
it to the left to decrease the volume.
4
Choose a repeat option from the Repeat pop-up menu.
Set the
playback volume.
Set playback repeat options.
Select the frame of your
movie that is visible until
you begin playing it.
Use these controls to view the
movie as you edit your slideshow.
