Play a moving-picture show or sound beyond slides in Keynote on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch on, or Mac

Add a moving picture or an audio file to multiple slides and information technology will keep playing as slides advance from 1 to the next—even during transitions between slides.

To play a movie or audio across slides, add the aforementioned file to consecutive slides. Y'all tin can then accommodate settings for the file to change how the moving picture or audio looks and sounds from ane slide to the next.

For example, you can set up the book of the file on each slide independently, or take a motion picture alter position on the slide while still playing through. And, as ever with movie playback, animation steps like Build In, Activity, and Build Out for other objects on the slide continue to office while a movie plays.

Add a movie or audio file to slides

To play movie or audio beyond slides, add together the file to consecutive slides in your presentation.

Add together a movie or sound file to a slide on iPhone or iPad

  1. Select the slide you want to offset playing the movie or audio file from, then tap the Insert push button .
  2. Add the file to the slide:
    • To add a file from your photo library, tap Photo or Video , locate the file, tap information technology, then tap Cull.
    • To add a file from iCloud Drive or some other location, tap "Insert from," locate the file, then tap it.
  3. Add together the file to each sequent slide you desire the film or audio to play across.
  4. On each slide, tap the movie or audio file to select information technology, tap the Format button, then turn on "Play Across Slides."
  5. Turn off "Play Across Slides" for the terminal slide you want to play the file across.

When y'all plow on "Play Across Slides" on a slide, the film or audio will play across the next slide, even if you lot turned the setting off on the next slide. For example, if you desire to play a movie across five slides just don't want it to play over the sixth slide, make sure to turn on "Play Across Slides" on the first four slides. Then plough the setting off on the fifth slide. The movie will play beyond the fifth slide and will cease when you accelerate to the sixth slide.

Add together a motion-picture show or sound file to a slide on Mac

Apply movies and audio files that are in a format that QuickTime supports on your Mac. If you tin can't add together or play a movie or audio file, try using iMovie, QuickTime Player, or Compressor to convert the file to an MPEG-4 file (with an .m4a extension) for sound, or a QuickTime file (with a .mov extension) for a moving picture.

  1. Add the file to the slide you want the file to starting time playing from:
    • To add a file from your photo library or a song from your music library, click the Media button in the toolbar, click Movies or Music, so elevate the file onto the slide.
    • To add a file from iCloud Drive or another location, click Choose, locate the file, then click Insert.
  2. Add the file to each consecutive slide you want the picture or audio to play across.
  3. On each slide, click the file to select it, click the Format push, click Motion-picture show, and so plow on "Play movie (audio) across slides."
  4. Turn off "Play picture (audio) across slides" for the final slide y'all want to play the file beyond.

When y'all plow on "Play picture show (audio) across slides" on a slide, the movie or audio will play across the next slide, fifty-fifty if you turned the setting off on the next slide. For instance, if you want to play a movie across five slides simply don't want it to play over the 6th slide, make certain to turn "Play movie across slides" on the first four slides. Then, turn the setting off on the fifth slide. The movie will play across the 5th slide and will stop when you advance to the sixth slide.

Use slide layouts

You lot can likewise add movie or audio files to a slide layout, so utilize that slide layout to other slides. Pic or audio files will play across any consecutive slides that use the same slide layout. This manner, y'all can create movement backgrounds, and guarantee seamless playback and perfect alignment from slide to slide.

Accommodate the volume of the film or audio file for each slide

You tin can set the volume of a movie or audio file on each slide independently on Mac, or an audio file on iPhone or iPad. For example, you might desire to lower the volume on a slide you're speaking over, then raise it for a slide where you lot're not speaking.

Adjust the volume of an audio file on iPhone or iPad

  1. On the slide you want to adjust, tap the sound file.
  2. Tap the Format button, tap Sound, then elevate the Volume control.

Adjust the volume of a movie or sound file on Mac

  1. Select the film or audio file on the slide, click the Format button, and then click Movie or Audio.
  2. Drag the Volume command.

Adjust other settings and use transitions when playing movie beyond slides

You tin adjust the position, size, and rotation of the film from one slide to the next. And, if you lot're using other transitions, the flick will continue to play on both the approachable and incoming instances of the transition.

Some animations create interesting furnishings when playing a movie across slides. When y'all apply Magic Move as a transition animation, the movie continues to play and expands to fill up the unabridged slide equally the presentation progresses from the one slide to the next.

If your movie or audio won't play across slides, make sure certain settings match on each slide.

Play across slides when you lot have long presenter notes

Playing a movie across slides tin be useful when you have long presenter notes that won't fit in the Presenter Brandish. By duplicating a slide with a flick several times and splitting the presenter notes across these slides, you tin click to show the next segment of notes while the moving-picture show continues to play seamlessly, no matter what transition is used.

If your movie or audio won't play beyond slides

If your movie won't play across slides, check these settings for each slide you want the file to play across:

  • The Repeat setting (None, Loop, and Loop Back and Along) for the motion-picture show must exist the same on each slide.
  • The trim setting must exist the aforementioned on each slide (Mac only).
  • If y'all accept a build out on one slide and a build in on the next slide, the picture show won't play beyond slides.
