Exclude objects from transitioning between slides

Hi,

Is there any possibility to exclude objects from transitioning between slides?

Like having the ability to fix an object (text, image, shape, ...) on 2 slides, while all other objects make the transition that has been set between the slides. Man, that would sooooo usefull for me, because I'm using Keynote a lot for simple animations, and that has always been a pain a the a** not being able to do that... Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

Use builds instead of a transition

Place all the objects for the sequence on to a single slide
Select the objects that are to be animated (using command click)
Apply the required Build In to the selected objects, go to: Inspector /Animate / Build In
click on Add an effect
select the required build from the list
Do not apply builds to objects that are not to animate

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your answer.

Currently, I'm using those builds a lot. But because you have place all objects over each other, and you have to use a "build in" and "built out" for each object, that makes the files very cluttery (sometimes i have 4,5,6 objects placed over each other...)

It would make much more sense to make the builds through transitions between different slides. That would keep the files much more clear. And that's why it would be good to have certain objects not animated in the transition. Say you have a background that must be fixed and only the text should make a sliding animation or something. Hope you understand where I'm getting at. I use keynote only for simple animations (short videos for socials, logo-animations, ...)
