Keynote on iPad - Can't Loop Presentation

iPad makes a great table-top slideshow platform. But, I can't find a way to loop a non-interactive slideshow in the iPad version. Is it possible?

If not, basic functionality is missing.

Hey I think this works. I compose my Keynote presentation on my iPad. Then I load it to my desktop via iWork. Once I download it to my desktop, I use my desktop Keynote to modify the images (make them loop, whatever). After that I either load it back to iWork or more commonly, Dropbox. I reopen the presentation in the iPad Keynote and the changes I made are saved. I used this yesterday for a presentation and all my movies looped flawlessly. Hope this helps.

PS - Don't forget to save the quicktime files as m4v's - which are iPhone (and iPad) optimized.

To Loop a Keynote presentation on your iPad you need to dig down below the Tool Menu (wrench) > Advanced > Presentation Type and turn ON "Loop Presentation".

Works fine for me - if all of your slides are set to transition automatically and all of your slide objects builds are set to trigger automatically, your entire presentation will repeat, and repeat, and repeat and.... well, you get my meaning. Try it.

Good Luck.
