How do I set the duration of a keynote presentation so that it loops for say one minute and then ends

I am trying to save a keynote presentation as a quicktime video. I cannot find the wya to set the time so that the presentation loops until the time is up and then ends. The presentation is only two slides in a loop. I would like this to run for 60 seconds and then end when I convert it to a QuickTime video. Any help appreciated.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I tried to upload a picture but this site will not take it.


There is no "self playing movie" choice under playback control.


If I seet the slide duration to 5s it creates a quicktime that lasts for 10s. And it changes the timing of the slides, rather than changing every second as set up, it changes every 5 seconds.


What is the build duration for?


I ultimately want to have these two slides loop, changing alternatively back to one another and then terminating after 60 seconds.

self playing is now called fixed timing so set it to that

sorry, I didnt realise I messed up my text in the last post, I have changed it for a 1 second slide duration and show to last 60 secs:


- create the two slides containing the content


- in the navigator panel, command click the 2 slides to select them both


- command C to copy both slides


- Command V to paste duplicate slides - paste the 2 slides 30 times; so that you have 60 slides in total - 30 copies of each slide in alternating order)


- File > Export > Quicktime >


- playback uses > fixed timing


- slide duration > 1 second


- repeat > none


- click next format> full quality large


make further setting for the desired CODEC such as H264
