Slow advance after 6.5 update

Yes - I can verify that Magic Move is essentially unusable for most transitions, which is very sad. writing this on Yosemite 10.10.1, Keynote 6.5.2

What a bummer, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I have this same issue, and I do not use Magic Move transitions. Using the same slides and computer, I did not experience this problem before updating keynote. It is almost like the program "sleeps" - this occurs more often when there is more time between slides. My energy settings are not very green - no power nap, no hard drive sleep, etc.

For my "slow advance" issue, I found and corrected the problem, and it had nothing to do with Keynote. I use the "iClicker" response participation system in my class, and the iClicker software runs at the same time as keynote (use it to control voting and advance slides on the presentation). The problem was that the iClicker app, after an update, was set to allow "App nap", which is what it was doing. The slow advance was the time it took to wake up (you cannot set how long until a nap occurs, or generally set that App nap is not turned on). It was an easy fix: select the application in the finder, choose "get info", then select "prevent app nap".

Guessing this isn't the issue that most folk are having, but thought I would throw it out there just in case.

I have absolutely no issues with Keynote 6.5.s, transitions and effects appear exactly when required.

The usual culprits for a slow response are:

running a number of other applications when playing Keynote

low storage space on system drive (a minimum of 20% free space is required)

not enough RAM memory installed

rubbishware applications installed such as: antivirus, malware prevention, memory cleaner, clean my mac (these are pointless and unnecessary)

I'm working on a fully specked retina iMac (32gb ram, 4gb graphics card, 4 GHz Intel Core i7) and when I have the Magic Move or the Trace transitions applied I'm getting the same delay, I'm sure that it's a software problem since it's affected all the machines I've tried. Hopefully apple get's us a fix soon!

These delays happen when:

1- a series of objects are on the slide with an attached effect

2 - a delay is set in the effect properties

This is also bugging me. Other slide transitions in 6.5.3 respond well. I will try to downgrade to see if it can be fixed.

Yes I am still getting the same issues for Yosemite + Keynote Magic Move. Anyone knows if this has been solved...?

This is not normal behaviour for Keynote and most users systems work perfectly so this is an issue unique to those who have posted in this discussion.

Try the following to reset Keynote, perform all the steps in the order listed:

1. Remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
2. Empty the trash
3. Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
4. Wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
5. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key,
   release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
   start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a software repair
6. Restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
7. Install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Just went through the above procedure and no difference I am afraid.

Keynote 6.6.2, OS 10.11.6, MacBook 12".
