Getting slides to play automatically in Keynote
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2556637?start=0&tstart=0


as usual, great early morning inspiration.

as often, learning curve frustrating me on the mac, as well
as crashes and things that distract me from my flow.

I forget that learning new things always has a learning curve.

is it not possible to remember this?

Is it not possible to remember that each idea needs 1000 details,
and that each detail requires time?

Ouch!!!

says upload to Youtube, but failed.
crashes hurt iphoto library. causing internal upset in me.

What to give up on this...but pressing on...

This was not a priority.

6:35 am

up too early.

I'm new to Keynote, so please forgive me if this question seems really obvious, but I can't figure it out.

I know how to make a number of slides and have them change by hitting the space bar, but I want to make a slide show (that is, Keynote presentation) that just plays all by itself, so to do this, how do I set the on screen time of the slide? I can't see that in the Inspector?

Also, I have a slide with a movie on it. It's set to "automatically play when open" and yet when I hit the space bar, it goes to the slide (black) and then I have to hit the space bar again to play it, so that's not working.

Basically, I am having trouble figuring out how to make Keynote automatically play back a Presentation with graphic slides and movies. Hope someone can point me in the right direction as I imagine I am overlooking some basic thing.

To have the slides change by themselves, you need to tell Keynote to automatically transition to the next slide after a specified number of seconds. To do this, open the inspector toolbox and choose the Slide Inspector (2nd tab). At the bottom where it says "Start Transition" sellect "Automatically" and then specify when you want that slide to transition to the next slide by adjusting the number of seconds in the box labeled "Delay".

To have the movie start automatically, sellect the "Build Inspector" (3rd tab). Click "More Options" at the bottom and a drawer will pop out of the side of the inspector toolbox. sellect the object that as the name of your movie. At the bottom change "On Click" to "Automatically after transition".

Hope this helps!

INDIVIDUAL DURATION FOR EACH SLIDE



Keynote, on Mac - how to specify duration per slide?

The presentation (in Keynote, on a Mac) is autoplay and has two slides. How can I configure the timing, so Slide #1 shows for 6 seconds, then Slide #2 for 4 seconds?

This is pretty straightforward if you know where to look.

1. sellect the first slide
2. Open the Inspector and choose the Slide pane (2nd from the left)
3. Choose the Transition section
4. Set "Start Transition" to "Automatically" and "Delay" to 6
5. sellect the second slide
6. Similarly, set "Start Transition" to "Automatically" and "Delay" to 4
