Keeping the last slide on the screen when show is over

I am hoping this is an easy solution. I am creating a slideshow which I am exporting to quicktime and what I am trying to do is keep the information from the last slide to stay on the screen without disappearing.
Do anyone know how to do this?

When presenting in Keynote, you can remain on the last slide if you go to the Preferences, in Slideshow, and uncheck "Exit presentation after last slide". However, if you are exporting the presentation to a QuickTime movie, I doubt that the export will preserve that feature of the presentation.

Under the 'Presentation' tab of the 'Properties' window (QuickTime Windows menu), if the "Automatically close..." and the "Automatically quit..." items are unchecked, shouldn't the last frame of the movie stay on the screen until there is some outside intervention?

You can also set the poster image for the QT movie to be of the last slide so when the movie is not playing and not in pause it will default to the poster image. Set poster image for KN in QT inspector and for QT in QT Pro.

If what Brief ly said is correct, no worries, if not set last slide to longest duration possible, duplicate the slide a few times and make a huge QT file of 30min of same image. Try using an efficient codec that realises the images isn't changing. No recommendations, you have to test for your particular image.
