Is there a way in Keynote to fade an embedded video out when it has finished?

Keynote newbie here and refugee from P***P****t.

I produce presentations that I export as video for trailers shown when our local arts centre screens a film.

The presentation consists of one slide per future event: each slide has details of date, time, cost, events, performer and either a image or, if there is one, a video clip [downloaded from YouTube].

In P***P****t I can fade a video out when it has finished playing, otherwise the end is rather abrupt.

Can I do this in Keynote?

[Footnote, I have abandoned PowerPoint because background music would not respect the timings when exported to video.]

If I'm understanding correctly, you should be able to achieve something by adding a 'Build-out' transition to the movie. Did you try that?

Alternatively, an additional slide after the movie with a transition effect in place should have a similar result if you want to fade out the entire slide rather than just the video (or to a clone of the slide with the text, but not video in place.
