Unable to loop video in keynote

It looks like I need to go back to using a PC for presentations. After spending an hour getting videos clips to show in keynote, it seems I can't loop them.
After expounding the virtues of the iPad to all, it's going to be a little embarrassing to turn up with my pc.

This together with the lack of remote slide advance should be an embarrassment to the developer heading keynote at Apple. If not maybe they don't actually have experience of giving presentations!

Please fix this really basic stuff!

I'm just ran into this problem with my ipad and keynote. It does not have the loop feature. This is not a technical issue. I think its just Apple deciding that for 9.99 you don't get a feature that is business critical. Someone is figuring out how much you'd pay for that feature and I'm sure they'll offer it later for 99.99 or some crazy price like that.

Hi guys,

I'm not an expert on how KeyNote works on the ipad, but key note does let you loop video. I only assume this translates into ipad.

Have you gone to the inspector, then clicked on the quick time icon. There's an option there to loop the video.

Hope that helps

Hey all, I found a solution to this issue.

Going off of what MindfulbyDesign mentioned, I:

1) made sure that the video I needed to loop was in the correct format to be shown on the iPad

2) Opened up Keynote (iWork '11) on my Mac

3) Place the video on the slide and used the QT tab in the inspector to turn Repeat to "Loop"

4) Saved the file

5) Dragged the file into iTunes>Apps>Keynote

6) on the iPad, went to Keynote

7) Hit the + to add the Presentation (Copy from iTunes)

8) opened up the file and found that the Looping feature transfered over!

just to be clear, for those who don't have or see a "QT tab":

1. select the video

2. click the Format paint brush on right side

3. select Movie tab

4. here you'll see all the movie options, you can even make a movie loop back and forth which is pretty cool
