Keynote / A niggling problem that’s making me crazy!

This anomaly is caused by the way Keynote is programed to use a transition after a build.

The workaround is to deduct the duration of the build effect from the duration of the transition effect:

In your example the transition is 20 seconds and the build is 10 seconds

therfore 20 - 10 = 10

so 10 is the replacement transition duration:

The duration of each will be:

Build duration 10 seconds

Transition effect 10 seconds

The sequence will now last for 20 seconds

Hey OldAustin,

Since the issue you’re asking about is very specific, you’ll need to reach out to Apple Support directly: Get Support. Type “Keynote help” in the “Tell us what’s happening” field, then follow the rest of the prompts.

All the best.
