Many thanks, you're right.  You mentioned other sequencing/pres packages - are there any potentially more suitable ones I should check out?

@Glinkot - unfortunately all my stuff is PC based rather than Mac and tends to run the higher end.

I run both, so any mentions still appreciated :)

ProPresenter is one of the ones I typically use for doing sequencing.  It's built more specifically as a media sequencer and so it gives better overall control of the order of things, but less "fluff" in the way of animation of text and such.

<p>I have an idea for linking a keynote presentation with a video (exported from a 3d tool).  The idea is that each time you 'click' (as you would to move to the next slide/transition) it would play x more frames of the video then pause.  So frame 1-30 might be the first animation, and it would pause on frame 30.  Then, you click again and it plays 31-60, stopping on 60.</p>

<p>Is such a thing possible and if so how would I achieve it?  Assume a video file is available in the required format.</p>

<p>Many thanks.</p>

# Keynote video pausing/playing

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-05-24)

I have an idea for linking a keynote presentation with a video (exported from a 3d tool).

So frame 1-30 might be the first animation, and it would pause on frame 30. Then, you click again and it plays 31-60, stopping on 60.

Is such a thing possible and if so how would I achieve it? Assume a video file is available in the required format.

Many thanks.
