KEYNOTE and PlayBack Controls

I am creating a presentation that uses video clips. I want to be able to see timecode on each clip so I can scrub through and find my start and end points but there is no Playback Controls on my clip. How do I add playback controls? When I view my clip outside of Keynote in Quicktime, I see the playback controls on my clip.

My video is an MP4. I am using Keynote version 10.1

iMac 27″, macOS 12.2

Hide video controls in keynote I like to have the video controls for a video shown on videos in Keynote (enabled in preferences). However, after I’m sure the video is playing, I would like them to disappear. I know you can change it in preferences but I’d like to have the option to see them when I put my mouse on the screen, but when I move the mouse off the screen, it should disappear and it doesn’t.

Keynote Video - How to automatically transition to next slide when video ends I'd like to play a slideshow that has a few embedded videos of various lengths. I'd like to hit play so viewers can watch the whole program, but there seems to be a quirk in the software that won't allow the program to move to the next slide without manually clicking. Yes, you can put in the exact length of the video before the transition, but it's hard to test the result for a long video. The quirk is this - lets say you have a 10 minute video. If you put in a 600 second delay as an automatic transition to the next slide, then theoretically the video will make that transition. But you have to wait the full 10 minutes in real time to see the results. You can't just drag the video slider to the near the end of the video, let the last few seconds play, and then watch the transition. And you can't drag the slider to skip part of the video then have the transition occur right at the end. You have to wait the full 10 minutes. Does anyone have a solution? I'm running the latest version of Keynote on Ventura on an M1 iMac. Dave

You appear to want to do this in edit mode:

Click the clip on the slide to select it
Go to the Inspector / Format / Movie and use the transport controls
The numbers you see are not Time Code but are start, endpoint and durations calculated by Keynote.
Clips always display 00:00:00:000 as the start point when the movie is first added to a slide
