Keynote Typewriter animation changed to "Appear"

I got a message saying that the Typewriter animation has been changed to "Appear by Character". The Typewriter animation is no longer listed as an option for Build-In.

Using Keynote v10.0.


The big problem is at "Appear by Character" does not export correctly to a movie (m4v).


How can I get Typewriter back, or fix the movie export?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Try resetting Keynote by completing all of the following steps in the order listed:


  1. ensure you have a current backup of all your user files, saved to a separate drive
  2. close all applications
  3. uninstall Keynote; for this procedure to work, an application removal tool must be used, App Delete has a free trial and works for this procedure. It can be downloaded from the developer’s website here:  App Delete
  4. empty the Trash (Finder > Empty Trash)
  5. restart the Mac (Apple Menu > Restart);  Immediately after the Apple startup sound, press the shift key on the keyboard, release shift when the Apple icon appears. Start up will take longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair of the start up drive
  6. After the Mac is fully powered up, restart the Mac normally:   Apple Menu > Restart
  7. reinstall Keynote from the Mac App Store Application
  8. Restart the Mac again
