Two Questions About Keynote Animation:

The ZoomInOut action: the percentage is hard to control, the edit box does not work, nor the spinning button;
How can I add a new action to the end the action series, while currently the new added action is inserted to the right next to the last action of the selected object, which makes the arranged series disordered.

Extra suggestion on alignment:

I cannot find the rule of alignment, ie, which object is based on to align. This object could be the last selected one, according to the WPS of Kingsoft. It is very useful.

Thanks

Mac mini, macOS 13.1

The Scale Action appears to increases by 50% each time the up arrow button is used.

If you need a precise value, either drag the slider for Scale or double click in the entry box to select it, enter a number, then press the return key on the keyboard.

When you add an additional effect to an object on a slide, the Build order list will show an additional entry for that effect, if it is in the wrong order for play, drag the entry for the effect to where in the sequence you want it to play as shown below:

original effects

additional effect added, but in the wrong order:

additional effect moved to the correct place:

1.

The scale effect. The edit box and the spin button do not work correctly.

2.

For example, series 211-216 is carefully arranged before. Now the rectangle(as the red arrow in the fig) needs an extra effect. Currently Keynote will insert the effect between series 212 and 213, which makes the arranged series 211-216 disordered.

3.

For example, the "left" alignment. I cannot find the rule of alignment, so it is difficult to arrange multiple objects, especially for those that have both horizontal and vertical alignments. This issue also exists in MS Office, but perfectly solved in WPS of Kingsoft. The alignment will be based on the last select object. If the last selected object is 2, then the 2 will be freezed and 1 and 3 will left align with 2.
